Defunding HUD’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule
May 19, 2016
Mr. President: The Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule – which my amendment would defund – is equal parts condescension and willful blindness.
The condescension of the rule and its proponents is that local governments and Public Housing Authorities across America can’t figure out how to provide fair and affordable housing to their communities without the help of federal bureaucrats.
Defunding HUD’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule
May 18, 2016
Mr. President: In a piece of legislation of this size, there is always much to praise – and, unfortunately, even more to criticize.
I rise today, specifically, to correct one major mistake in this bill. As currently written, it permits the Department of Housing and Urban Development to proceed in the implementation of its radical new regulation, the insultingly misnamed “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule,” or AFFH.

May 13, 2016
With the warm, muggy weather of summer fast approaching and the spread of the Zika virus continuing to ascend northward from South America, many Americans are worried that mosquito-borne transmission of Zika may become a reality in the continental United States. And there is good reason for concern: Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa have already seen cases of Zika transmitted by local mosquitoes, and there have been several travel-associated cases of Zika in the 50 states.

Let's close the email privacy loophole now
May 10, 2016
This week the House of Representatives took an historic step for Americans’ privacy rights. By an overwhelming vote of 419-0, it passed bipartisan legislation to protect Americans’ email and other information in the cloud from warrantless searches. Now that the House has passed the Email Privacy Act to finally update our laws for the digital age and without a single opposing vote, the Senate should do the same.
