Dear Friend,

In order to advance peace in the Middle East, it is important to build and maintain relationships with our allies. Under the leadership of President Trump, the Abraham Accords, a historic peace agreement, has been signed by Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain.

This signifies a shared commitment to work together - a union that will ensure peace and prosperity for their citizens and a safer world. It was an honor to attend the ceremony and to bear witness to the unprecedented achievements of our Commander-in-Chief.

Quality of life is important to Mississippians and to all Americans. When President Trump took office in 2017, he moved forward with ambitious plans to deliver prosperity to the American people with profound success. Republican-led policies rolled back regulations which strengthened our businesses - large and small. The unemployment numbers plummeted. Tax reform boosted income, resulting in more take-home pay for our citizens. The economy soared, setting records we have not seen in decades. 

This week, House Republicans gathered on the steps of the U.S. Capitol to formally introduce our Commitment to America - a plan to restore our way of life, rebuild the greatest economy in history, and to renew the American dream. With President Trump in the lead, our great Nation is well on its way to a comeback. To read our plan of action, please click on the link. 

The late William E. Tabor, Jr., a native of Louisville, Mississippi, distinguished himself in service to America during World War II. In the summer of 1941, he joined the U.S. Army and was sent to the Philipine Islands and stationed at Clark Field, Manila. He was among the thousands of men sent to defend the Bataan Peninsula. After running out of ammunition, they were forced to surrender on April 9, 1942. Mr. Tabor became a Prisoner of War (POW), greatly suffering until he and his fellow warriors were liberated in December 1945.

Recently, It was my honor to be able to present his family with the Bronze Star Medal in memory of Mr. Tabor's heroic service. Every day, we lose more and more of our World War II veterans. We must take every oportunity to thank these men and women who are still with us and honor those who have passed away.
