This past November, Kansas rejected the nonsense of the Biden-Harris Administration and demanded that Washington, D.C. restore common sense, secure our border, make America safe again, get our fiscal house in order, grow our economy, and get our country back on track. In a little more than 100 days, President Trump has done just that.
The only way to describe the start of President Trump’s historic second term is promises made, promises kept.
Our border is the most secure it has been in our nation’s history and the data speaks for itself. This past March, apprehensions along the southern border dropped 95% from the average daily encounters under President Biden. In California, chaos unfolded along the border when President Biden rescinded Title 42. Today, the Los Angeles Times reports that crossings along that segment of the border had nearly come to a halt under President Trump. Along our northern border, Customs and Border Patrol agents apprehended a total 54 migrants in March, down 95% from March 2024. Promises made, promises kept.
House Republicans and President Trump did what many Democrats were afraid to do—enforce the law and enact bills like the Laken Riley Act that make it clear there is no place for violent criminals who are illegally in the United States of America. While President Trump and his administration have worked tirelessly to remove bad actors from our country, it has been a different story on the left. The same Democrats outraged by President Trump’s removal of terrorists, gang members, and criminals were silent when the Biden Administration abandonedactual American citizens in Afghanistan after his botched withdrawal. The contrasts in priorities for Democrats and Republicans could not be clearer.
President Trump promised to revive the American dream and usher in the golden age of America. Over the last 100 days, he and his administration announced more than $5 trillion in new American investments, including right here in Kansas. Fiserv recently announced a $175 million investment that will create good-paying job opportunities for individuals in the eastern part of our state.
The Consumer Price Index continues to show inflation is cooling and prices are falling. Because of the leadership of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and President Trump, wholesale egg prices have fallen, and we anticipate retail prices will soon follow suit. Americans are feeling far less pain at the pump compared to the Biden years because we have a President who has finally decided to embrace an all of the above energy approach. House Republicans have also repealed Biden-era rules that tried to implement electric vehicle mandates because we know they only drive-up costs for rural Americans like those in the Big First District. Promises made, promises kept.
President Trump made a promise to restore common sense and get our country back on track. He is not afraid to state the obvious—there are two genders, and biological men should not play in women’s sports. One of the first bills President Trump signed during his second term was the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act.
President Trump has uprooted wasteful, fraudulent, and abusive spending, going line by line through our federal budget to make sure taxpayer dollars are being spent wisely. While Democrats are advocating for American families to have the largest tax hike in history, President Trump has spent the last 100 days working tirelessly with Congressional Republicans to extend his 2017 tax cuts. Promises made, promises kept.
It feels great to have real leadership back at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue that fights for America’s families and a brighter future for our country. One hundred days of winning and I look forward to many, many more.
