Elise Stefanik (R-NY) is chair of the House Republican Conference.
As the organizational body for all GOP Members of the U.S. House of Representatives, the House Republican Conference is responsible for electing the House Republican leadership, approving GOP Member committee assignments, and developing a communications strategy to reach out to all Americans.
We are teachers, doctors, veterans, and business owners. We are working moms, single dads, Boomers, Millennials, and more. And while we each have unique backgrounds and experiences, we’re united by a shared goal to make America a better place — a nation where we are not defined by our limits, but by our potential.
The Republican Conference is dedicated to providing freedom and opportunity for every American. Made up of members from across the country, our agenda includes: Empowering Individuals Getting Government Off Of Americans’ Backs Keeping Our Country Safe At Home & Strong Abroad Securing Our Borders Protecting All Human Life Preserving Our Constitutional Rights Cutting Taxes Upholding The Principles And Values That Have Made America Great In contrast to House Democrats, who are embracing socialism, and pushing radical, far-left policies, we’re fighting to keep America safe, prosperous and free. That’s why it’s more important than ever to stand up for our values, and we appreciate your support.
Here, you’ll find many voices united by a common purpose: to restore the American people’s rightful place at the center of our representative government.
And thank you so much for the leadership that you've been providing to expose this crisis
at our border to talk about how bad this immigration crisis is that was created by Joe Biden
when he opened up America's southern border. And when you see millions of people that have
already come across illegally, what we are seeing all across the country, what's making
every single community in America a border town is the illegal drugs, the fentanyl that's coming
across the border with the drug cartels taking operational control over our border when Joe
Biden gave that away. 100,000 plus deaths of young people last year from fentanyl overdoses
and other drugs that are coming across our border illegally. None of this needed to happen.
And Republicans have tried over and over again to bring legislation to the floor
to secure our southern border and Democrats want nothing of it. They want an open border.
Kamala Harris, who President Biden put in charge of the border, still refuses to go down to the
border and then acts like she's in denial, goes on TV and says the border's secure.
And then, of course, we saw a busload of illegal migrants coming to the Naval Observatory right
outside of her house as she's saying the border's secure. And they're all being interviewed saying
they came to America illegally because they know the border's wide open under the Biden
administration. They created this problem. They don't want to fix it. We will. We're going to
continue to push on this House floor to address these problems. Another problem America's facing,
maybe the biggest problem that families are facing, is inflation out of control. The cost
of everything that families try to buy is higher because of Joe Biden's policies,
because of the trillions in spending, because of the radical regulations.
And he continues to deny this is a problem. We saw him on 60 Minutes just the other night,
acting as if 8.5% is really just 0.2%, because it was 8.3% and it went to 8.5%,
and he acted like it was just a blip, just a minor little change. And he had to be corrected
by the 60 Minutes host and reminded that it's a 40-plus-year high of inflation.
It's not a minor blip. It's a major problem for families that Joe Biden's created,
and he acts like it doesn't even exist. Maybe in his little bubble that he hangs around,
the far leftists that talk about nothing but spending and doubling the size of the IRS.
To them, that's economic stimulus. But to families, it's one more crippling blow after another
that's making it harder for them to buy the things that they need for their lives.
Good luck trying to become a first-time homebuyer, because under Joe Biden's wild,
massive spending spree with Nancy Pelosi, we've seen mortgage rates more than double,
over 100% higher cost to get a mortgage if you want to be a first-time homebuyer.
So now they've even put the American dream, the ability to buy your first house,
out of reach for many more Americans because of all their radical policies.
So again, we're going to be rolling out our commitment to America this Friday,
because we're going to show the country what a Republican majority would do to
actually address and confront the problems families are facing that have been created
by all of this radical far-left socialism, by Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and all of those other
Democrats here in Washington who are voting right down the line, one after another, for these
radical policies. There is a better way. We have an answer. We're going to provide solutions.
