As the American people continue to suffer under President Biden's broken economy, disconcerting data in the latest jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) showed June as having the weakest overall job growth in the last 14 months. The data also revealed the workforce participation rate is decreasing at a time when employers need workers most. According to BLS, the number of Americans in the workforce decreased to 62.2 percent in June.
As a member of the Republican Jobs and the Economy Taskforce, I am committed to promoting America's economic recovery; however, concerns of a recession continue to mount due to President Biden's mismanagement of the economy.

"These incredible pieces will be displayed in the halls of Congress and my offices in Washington, D.C. and Nebraska. I also want to thank all the teachers who encourage students to exercise their talent and creativity."
One of the most rewarding aspects of serving Nebraska's Third Congressional District is the opportunities I get to engage with young people interested in government service. This spring, I've welcomed students from Bayard, Oakland-Craig, Boone Central, Summerland, and Doniphan-Trumbull schools, as well as Peru State College, to our nation's capital. Fielding students' questions is always a pleasure, and I deeply appreciate their thoughtful feedback and ideas about the issues we are working on in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Seeing young Nebraskans serving their communities, whether it is through scout troops, churches, community organizations, or just young Nebraskans coming together independently, is inspiring. It shows they understand opportunities to volunteer and serve their community do not have to wait until adulthood. In order to help foster young people's desire to serve their communities, I offer a number of opportunities to engage with government through my office.
