Greetings,

This week I introduced legislation to give Congress the ability to free consumers and small businesses from harmful regulations put in place by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). The unaccountable power and magnitude of the CFPB has made it harder for small businesses to thrive. Small businesses are the backbone of the American economy, and provide good-paying jobs to hardworking Texans.

I also introduced the Expatriate Terrorist Act (ETA) to ensure that any American who forfeits their country to intentionally join ISIS will have their citizenship stripped and won't be able to use a U.S. passport to come back and commit acts of terrorism on American soil. This is a crucial step to keep our country safe and secure.

Throughout the week I had the opportunity to meet with Texans visiting Washington D.C., including Johnson Space Center director, Dr. Ellen Ochoa, city council members and business leaders from San Antonio, and members of the Texas Trucking Association.
