FreedomWorks is excited to honor Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) as our member of the month for March 2022. He has served in the United States Senate representing the state of Utah since 2011.

Welcome to this week’s Regulatory Action Center (RAC) Review! RAC proudly keeps you up to date on what we’re up to and what we’re keeping our eyes on here in the swamp.

We will also highlight the incredible work our activists have done to advance the principles of smaller government, lower taxes, free markets, personal liberty, and the rule of law. For more ways to get involved and stay informed, check the links at the bottom of this post.

Though some reforms have been made, many in Congress still stand by the program despite the revelations.
