Today, the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) sent a letter co-led with FreedomWorks to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell with a total of two dozen aligned policy and advocacy organizations to prioritize ending all federal pandemic unemployment programs and not making the anti-work changes (via ARP) to the child tax credit permanent.

FreedomWorks is excited to honor Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) as our member of the month for July 2021. She represents Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, encompassing much of the western half of the state. As a freshman member who came into office after a successful primary challenge against incumbent former Rep. Scott Tipton (R-Colo.), Rep. Boebert has already proven herself a fighter. Even before she came into office, she defined herself as such.

Today, FreedomWorks led more than two dozen policy and advocacy organizations in asking members of Congress to reject any increase in the federal minimum wage.

Today, the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) sent a letter co-authored with FreedomWorks to the House of Representatives opposing the passage of S.J.Res. 15, the Congressional Review Act resolution which would overturn the Office of the Comptroller of Currency's (OCC) 2020 True Lender Rule. A vote is expected on the resolution in the House later this week.

Today, FreedomWorks sent a letter to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary in support of its markup of three smart-on-crime justice reform bills that will receive consideration tomorrow: the COVID-19 Safer Detention Act (S. 312), the Prohibiting Punishment of Acquitted Conduct Act (S. 601), and the First Step Implementation Act (S. 1014).

Today, FreedomWorks sent the following letter to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), as well as Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Chairman Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Ranking Member Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), expressing strong opposition to S.J.Res. 15, which would disapprove of the OCC's October 2020 True Lender rule.

Recently, House Democrats reintroduced H.R. 3, the Elijah E. Cummings Lower Drug Costs Now Act, or, as we prefer to call it, Speaker Pelosi’s Socialist Drug Pricing Scheme. As we’ve noted time and time again, any time the government interferes in a private market and sets prices for that market, they put a bandaid on a bullet hole -- covering the underlying issue up, but leaving it to fester and worsen over time.

FreedomWorks is proud to announce that our member of the month for April 2021 is Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.). A new member now representing Florida’s 19th Congressional District in the southwest part of the state, Rep. Donalds came to Washington as a FreedomWorks For America-endorsed candidate after years of public service representing his fellow Floridians in the Florida House of Representatives.
