French Hill

HAPPENING NOW: Chairman @RepFrenchHill convenes the Full Committee hearing entitled: "The Federal Reserve's Semi-Annual Monetary Policy Report." Tune in 📺⬇️ x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

WATCH: Chairman @RepFrenchHill on the Fed’s role in restoring price stability: “.. [I]nflation is the result of many factors of these. The Fed has control only over one: monetary policy, as expressed through its interest rate and balance sheet policy. Today, a potential second surge of inflation is appearing due to factors outside the Fed's control. What the Fed can control is how it reacts. Though upward pressure on prices may diminish on its own, it's not a sure thing. The Fed may be able to look through these inflationary pressures, but the Fed has believed that before and has been wrong. High inflation affects Americans in the here and now, not in some hypothetical future composed of long term projections or of inflation expectations.” 📺⬇️

WATCH: Chairman @RepFrenchHill delivers opening remarks at today's hearing: “It is not the Fed’s role to make decisions for the American People on major questions of vast political and economic significance. That is Congress’ duty. The Fed needs to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past and reform itself to guard its long-term monetary policy independence and to restore the reputation of the Fed as an apolitical agent carrying out Congress’ statutory directives. Reform is not intended to be punitive. Rather, reform is the mechanism by which the Fed can become the best version of itself for the American People.” 📺⬇️

WATCH: Chairman @RepFrenchHill discuss the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act on @GowdyAmerica with @TGowdySC. “We cut red tape. We gave incentives to banks to do more lending in the one to four family construction. We made the HUD programs more accountable [and] more effective.”

ICYMI: Chairman @RepFrenchHill joined @RogerZakheim on the Reaganism podcast to discuss the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. @ReaganInstitute youtu.be/iGTveADdR8Y?si…

Hardworking Americans want Washington to take on the challenges that impact their lives. That’s what the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act does. It cuts red tape and incentivizes lending to make it easier to build. More homes means more options and lower costs. #AR02 #housing

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is now law. Rep. Hill joined Jon Scott to talk about the impact for American families: "This bill will help [the American Dream] become in reach. We wanna shrink that age from 40 for a first time home back to a more historic area of around 30 years old." More to come on this historic legislation when Rep. Hill joins @GowdyAmerica tonight at 8:50 CT. #AR02 #housing

Martha and I are saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Senator Lindsey Graham. He was a patriot who loved this country, and a dedicated public servant who worked tirelessly for his beloved Palmetto State. The people of South Carolina have lost a great champion. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and his staff during this difficult time. He will be missed.

Joined Jon Scott on Fox to break down how the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act clears the way to build more homes across America. It's simple math: easier to build means more supply, more supply means more affordable, accessible homes for hardworking Americans. Looking forward to joining my former colleague Trey Gowdy on @GowdyAmerica tomorrow at 8 CT to talk more about this landmark legislation. #AR02 #housing

It was great to have my friend, @USRepMikeFlood, in Maumelle, Arkansas, today as we celebrated the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. Chairman Flood’s work leading the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Housing and Insurance alongside Ranking Member @repcleaver was instrumental in crafting this landmark legislation. Their partnership helped deliver overwhelming bipartisan support in both chambers and, more importantly, will help make housing more affordable for hardworking Americans from coast to coast. Now it is time to build. #AR02 #housing

No bill this congress has had more twists & turns as the housing package. Getting it across the finish line took skill, policy expertise, creativity and real political will. I told my friend @RepFrenchHill it was like pulling off a triple bank-shot - and he did it. Big congrats!

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is now law. House Republicans worked hard to ensure this legislation will pave the path to homeownership and the American Dream for hardworking families who have been crushed for far too long by Bidenflation and the Biden Border Crisis, which hiked housing costs by 30% and rent by 20%.

A major win for American families. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is now law, delivering reforms that will increase housing supply, support community banks, and help more Americans achieve the dream of homeownership.

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is now law, and @USRepMikeFlood made the trip down to Maumelle, Arkansas to help me celebrate the first major housing legislation in more than 30 years. This common sense law will spur the building of more units, increase housing supply, and make housing more affordable and accessible for communities in Arkansas, Nebraska, and all across the country.

WATCH: Chairman @RepFrenchHill on the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act: “It’s an important bill. It’s a bipartisan bill as you note, but it unlocks the supply side to lowering the cost to constructing housing [and] building more housing. And our biggest challenge is housing supply since the end of the global financial crisis. We have just not had different kinds of supply keep up with demand across the country for all kinds of housing units. And that’s why this bill is needed and why it got such strong support in both chambers.” 📺⬇️

On July 8, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was read aloud to the American people for the first time, in the State House Yard in Philadelphia. Yesterday, 250 years later, I joined fellow Arkansans at the Historic Arkansas Museum for our state's part in America Reads the Declaration, as communities in all fifty states read the same words aloud at the same time. Thank you to Marty Ryall and the Arkansas 250 Commission for organizing this event, and to Colonel Joel Lynch for reading alongside me. Two hundred fifty years on, the words still carry the same charge they did on that first afternoon: unalienable rights, self-evident truths, a government answerable to the people it serves. Huzzah! • • • #ar02 #arkansas #independence #americareads #fyp
