As digital entertainment dominates the attention of our nation’s youth, it is important to be reminded of the great significance reading has on sharpening the mind and broadening the ability to think critically. March is National Reading Month, and I’m grateful for this time set aside that underscores the importance of such a critical aspect of education.

Sitting in the Transportation and Infrastructure hearing room this week as Chairman Graves gaveled us in to begin committee activity was young Dalilah Coleman accompanied by her mother and father. Committee hearings and markups are open to the public, so it’s common to look out and see folks sitting in who have just visited a Smithsonian museum or finished a Capitol tour, looking for a front row seat to observe the legislative process while visiting Washington.

The internet and social media have become a modern-day Wild West. The increased use of AI and social media by bad actors with little regulation from the tech industry has led to severe impacts on our children’s safety and mental health.

Big Tech companies continuously refuse to take responsibility for the impact their content can have on kids and families. So now, Congress has an obligation to restore order and enact policies that put our kids’ safety first along with their digital well-being.

The United States is second to none in its beauty. This year, as our nation celebrates 250 years of independence, what better way to honor our great country than visiting its national parks which boast that majestic beauty? Thankfully, for those of us in Arkansas, we don’t have to go too far to visit one of the most unique parks in the country.

Hot Springs National Park celebrated its 105^th birthday this week, reminding us of the rich history nestled deep within the Fourth District of Arkansas.

Last year, House Republicans implemented policies into the One Big Beautiful Bill that eliminated the $200 federal tax stamp on silencers. This act alone took away the largest administrative and financial barrier to suppressor ownership. That legislation sparked a surge in the suppressor industry, allowing gun owners to have easier access to essential hearing protection and small business firearm retailers to see a much-needed boost in revenue.

While most holidays commemorate historic events or movements, Presidents’ Day honors the leaders who shaped our nation. We honor them not for being without mistake, but for their commitment to a cause that was much greater than themselves.

Additionally, Presidents’ Day is a celebration of democracy itself, reflecting on our ability to self-govern and choose our own leaders. The celebration of the American presidency is just as much about the celebration of our nation’s principles as it is about the men who led and shaped our government.

For generations, the American Dream has been closely linked to homeownership. A strong and sturdy front porch where morning coffee can be enjoyed, a yard where kids can run around and play in the sprinklers on a hot summer’s day, and a kitchen large enough to host friends and family for Sunday dinners. All of it paints the picture of a home where a family can put down roots and build a future.

There are 435 members in the House of Representatives, and each one of us is immensely proud of our districts. The people we serve and our local communities are truly the heart of our nation. Their stories, struggles, and successes are the motivation behind why we do what we do as Members of Congress, and it’s a privilege to advocate for the betterment not only of the individual but also for the infrastructure and communities that support them.

This week’s polar vortex brought snow and ice to many portions of the Fourth District. Many were advised to stay home, stay warm, and stay safe. However, in these moments, there are always the few who must sacrifice their own warmth and safety to keep our communities safe. These men and women are well-deserving of all of our thanks for the tireless hours and selfless work they have contributed in the past week.

From some of our earliest years of education, we were introduced to the words our forefathers wrote as they envisioned what the future of the United States might be. In a small room in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, these words were written onto one of the most pivotal documents in history: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.\"
