Statement

Dear Friend,

Three weeks ago I placed my left hand on the Bible, raised my right hand, and swore to defend and uphold the Constitution of the United States.

This tax, mandated by Obamacare, has stifled innovation and killed jobs across the state of Minnesota and it is imperative that we take the steps necessary to prevent further damage. I look forward to working with my colleagues, particularly fellow Minnesotan Rep. Erik Paulsen and Rep. Ron Kind of neighboring Wisconsin, to bring renewed hope to repealing this tax.

The State of the Union
Despite our differences, it was an honor to hear from the President on Tuesday night. However, he needs to learn to work with, not against, Congress to find solutions. The Republican majorities were not elected to fall in step with President Obama's agenda--the American people are demanding change. If he's ready to get to work on the change that voters demanded last November, Congress will be here waiting.

It's an honor to serve you in the U.S. House, and if you have any comments or concerns, or need help navigating a federal agency, please don't hesitate to contact my D.C. or Minnesota offices.

Sincerely,

Tom
