Dear Friend,

After a productive visit in the district last week and an informational trip to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba earlier this week, I am back in Washington. This week I met with great groups, including the YMCA and the Minnesota Farm Bureau, participated in hearings, and voted on several bills, including legislation that strengthens and improves 529 college savings accounts.

On Wednesday I had the opportunity to question Secretary of State John Kerry about the importance of trade promotion authority for our national security during his testimony for the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Click here to watch the video.

Weekly Video Update:

Speaking of foreign affairs, I want to thank everyone who wrote in your questions for my weekly video updates. Keep 'em coming!
