Congressman Kevin Hern

Generations of heroes have fought to protect America’s founding ideals of liberty and justice. Today, we honor the brave men and women in uniform who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation. We also pray for our Gold Star Families who lost loved ones in service to our country and continue to bear that loss each day. Wishing you and your family a safe and reverent Memorial Day. May we never forget that freedom is not free.

Thank God President Trump is safe. Endless gratitude to the Secret Service for their immediate, heroic response. Political violence has to stop.

No President has done more in my lifetime to confront the threat posed by the Iranian regime. Many pundits doubted President Trump with Operations Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury. Now these same voices are criticizing a reported deal they haven’t read and aren’t part of negotiating. I trust the President and his administration to decide how to end this conflict in a way that secures America’s interests and security.

Praying for the safety of President Trump, the Secret Service, and all those on grounds as we await additional details following reports of a shooting near the White House.

198 Democrats just voted to ALLOW federally funded schools to facilitate a gender transition for children WITHOUT THEIR PARENTS KNOWING. Republicans believe parents have a right to know what’s happening with their kids at school. Join us next time for more Common Sense vs. Crazy.

Our freedoms endure because of the selfless men and women serving around the world in the U.S. military. Today on Armed Forces Day, we recognize and honor all our active-duty servicemembers who answered the call to serve and safeguard our nation.

Twelve straight months of ZERO releases at the border. Under @POTUS Trump’s leadership, the days of catch and release are over. We are enforcing our nation’s laws and sending illegal aliens BACK to their home countries.

"American lawsuits shouldn’t be just another asset class for global investors that forces regular Americans to absorb the damage." @Willchamberlain is right. Foreign investors are exploiting our legal system for profit while American taxpayers foot the bill. My Tackling Third Party Litigation Financing Act will stop malign, foreign actors from treating our courts like a casino and protect taxpayers from predatory litigation practices.

A year ago today, the Ways and Means Committee began to markup a bill that would deliver the largest tax cut in American history, the Working Families Tax Cuts. Now, a year later, Americans have just experienced a tax filing season with record tax refunds returning more of their hard-earned money to their pockets! 🇺🇸

During National Police Week, we honor our brave men and women in law enforcement who work every day to protect our communities and keep us safe. We also remember the officers who gave their lives in the line of duty. To all our nation’s police officers, past and present, thank you for your service and sacrifice.

🚨 President Trump beats "expert" expectations once again with 115,000 jobs added in April. The America First Agenda continues delivering results for hardworking Americans and their families!

Behind every service member is a spouse who serves too. Thank you.

On this National Day of Prayer, we lift up our nation, our leaders, our service members, and every American family. God bless the United States of America.

Proud to see Tulsa ranked among the best places in the country for college graduates. New data shows our city excelling in affordability and hiring, creating real opportunity for the next generation.

Small businesses are the foundation of the American Dream. This Small Business Week, we recognize the entrepreneurs who take risks, invest in their communities, and drive our local economies. Thank you to all the small business owners and workers who keep America running.

I was proud to vote YES on the amendment to remove language from the Farm Bill that would prevent states from holding pesticide companies accountable for the risks and harm caused by their products. Thank you @RepLuna for fighting to keep our children safe and healthy.
