It’s August recess for Congress, so things are quieter than usual in Washington. However, my staff and I are still hard at work for you! Here is a recap of what we were up to last week. 

This week began a six week legislative recess, during which I am working in the District. As we gear up for the start of school later this month, I held a town hall meeting with area teachers to hear their concerns heading into the new year.

This was Congress's last week in session before the August recess, and we finished a day early due to House Republican Caucus dysfunction. We were supposed to consider two of the twelve pending FY2024 appropriations bills, but only one made it to the floor because House Republican moderates and conservatives could not reach an agreement on the other.
