Hogs making it look easy. Great win! #Gohogs #wps

It’s always a joy to be around young students as they learn about American civics and what it means to take part in our democracy. Special thanks to AR State Senator Mark Johnson for joining us and talking with the kids about how our state government works and why Federalism matters.📚✏️

More proof Democrats are out of step. Today, they voted against: ❌ Deporting foreigners who defraud America ❌ A balanced budget amendment ❌ Protecting Americans’ right to hunt and fish Meanwhile, Senate Democrats continue to vote against funding DHS and block voter ID requirements. They’ve made their priorities clear.

Praying for Susie Wiles. She's as tough as they come, and I have no doubt she will fight this with the same grace and determination she brings to everything she does. Martha and I are wishing her successful treatment and a full recovery.

Now that was an incredible BBall game! Congratulations #Hogs!

Hosted my 2026 HBCU Summit at Arkansas Baptist College yesterday, bringing together leaders from education, business, philanthropy, and government to discuss how we strengthen and support HBCUs in Arkansas and across the nation. Was honored to be joined by my co-chair of the House HBCU Caucus, the “Godmother of HBCUs” herself, NC @RepAdams. Special thanks to Gov. @SarahHuckabee for joining us. Arkansas’s HBCUs couldn’t have a stronger advocate in the Governor’s Mansion. And thanks to all the panelists for a thoughtful conversation. Together, we can ensure Arkansas’s HBCUs remain strong engines of opportunity for generations to come.

🚨NEW: Chairman @RepFrenchHill's statement on Senate passage of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act:

Last week, the Committee advanced the Main Street Capital Access Act sponsored by Chairman @RepFrenchHill and @RepAndyBarr. The bill will revitalize local bank formation and ensure that community lenders can focus on serving families, small businesses, and local economies, making life more affordable for Americans and empowering Main Street.

WATCH: Chairman @RepFrenchHill on tackling affordability for consumers: "In my work in the House, I have done 3 things that directly relate to affordability. One, I wrote the Price Stability Act, which says that says the Federal Reserve should be focused on fighting inflation... Point two, I have authored a bill, Main Street Capital Access, that encourages community banks to be out making more loans and adding more capital to things like housing construction, local businesses which increases supply that brings down prices, and finally our 21st Century Housing Act we passed in house with 390 votes directly tackles cost per square foot of constructing new housing." 📺⬇️

Enjoyed touring and getting a brief on the Little Rock Air Force Base WAR Center. I have tremendous gratitude for all our airmen who tirelessly work to keep Arkansas and America safe. Special thanks to COL Metodi Roulev, Deputy Commander 19th Airlift Wing and COL Bret Echard, Commander 19th Airlift Wing for the exceptional tour.

I was pleased to welcome Frank Marchetti, Consul General from the Republic of France, to Little Rock over the weekend. Had a wonderful discussion about the critical role France played in America’s independence, Arkansas’s long relationship with France dating back to 1686, and plans to celebrate the friendship between our two nations during this year of America’s semiquincentennial.🇫🇷🇺🇸

Today is Hostage and Wrongful Detainee Day, created with my Co-Chair of the House Hostage Task Force, Rep. Haley Stevens, to raise awareness about Americans unjustly held abroad and the families who fight every day to bring them home.   This remains a top priority. My Countering Wrongful Detention Act of 2025, signed into law last year, strengthens tools to deter bad actors who wrongfully detain Americans abroad.   I will keep fighting until every hostage and wrongfully detained American is reunited with their family and brought home, and those who use Americans as political pawns are held accountable.   #BringThemHomeNow

Once again, @HouseGOP are showing the American people what responsible governance looks like. It’s time for Senate Democrats to stop playing games and vote to end their ridiculous shutdown so our TSA agents and the brave men and women who protect our homeland can get back to work.

Sad news. Lou Holtz was a college football legend and one of the winningest coaches in Arkansas football history, leading the Razorbacks to one of the greatest runs in program history, including an Orange Bowl victory in his first season. His legacy lives on through the players he coached, the fans he inspired, and the lives he touched. My prayers are with his friends, family, and all who loved him. RIP Coach Holtz.

WATCH: Chairman @RepFrenchHill delivers opening remarks at today's markup: "The bills before us today reflect President Trump and Republicans’ shared commitment to promoting pro-growth, America-first policies. We are working to strengthen Main Street, expand access to capital, support American businesses, and ensure our financial system remains the most dynamic in the world." 📺⬇️

WATCH: Chairman @RepFrenchHill in support of H.R. 7688: “Mr. Davidson's bill provides a clearer framework that will improve implementation and even basic readability. In an era of strategic competition, our adversaries are moving with urgency as they advance new technologies, ramp up production capacity, and pour resources into their own strengthening of their own defense industries. The United States must not only match, but exceed that urgency to reinforce the position as the world's leading defender of freedom.” 📺⬇️
