Official Performance Commentary

For newly elected members, Official Performance points are a predictive estimate using statistical modeling.

Personal Actions Commentary

Joined Democratic Congressman Colin Allred for a conversation on Fox News Special Report with Bret Baier's Common Ground segment as well as on Bret Baier's Common Ground podcast. Member of the For Country Caucus.

Communications Commentary

"I tell people back at home, 80% of the folks up here may disagree but they'll get along while doing it—they'll disagree without being disagreeable. And so, as a military guy, I've always told my constituents that it's about quiet professionalism and mission accomplishment. And anybody who wants to work with me and Collin on bettering the lives of our veterans who have signed up and chosen to give so much to our country, I'm all on board with that, and I'll work with anybody. And I think most issues are like that."
