Today marks 100 days since the beginning of the 113th Congress. In that time, I have remained committed to being open, accessible, and responsive to the American people and focused on defending that sacred document known as the U.S. Constitution. Let me begin by saying that it has been a very active first 100 days in Washington, D.C. and back home in the district. In total, I have sponsored or co-sponsored 67 pieces of legislation, in the first 100 days.
Some of the key issues I addressed in the first 100 days included: jobs, the economy, government
accountability, gun rights, healthcare reform, energy development, tax reform and immigration. I introduced
several jobs bills this Congress as it’s important that we get people back to work. This includes
my Land Exchange
,
Wildfire
Prevention
, and Hydropower
Development
bills which would revitalize our rural communities, grow the economy, and restore prosperity
to our great nation. I also invited numerous gun manufacturers to relocate to sunny Arizona where we
are friendly to business and respect the Second Amendment.
As the only congressional member from Arizona on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, I
have been relentless in my pursuit to investigate and expose waste, fraud, and abuse in the Obama Administration.
Let me be clear, there have been countless examples of waste, fraud, and abuse in this administration,
from Fast and Furious to the Benghazi cover-up. I continued this Congress to push for the resignation
of Attorney General Eric Holder
for his actions and inactions pertaining to the misguided and unlawful
Operation Fast and Furious. I will not stop until the American people get the answers they deserve.
Outside of Washington, I traveled across one of the largest congressional districts in the country,
at over 50,000 square miles, to meet with constituents and hear their ideas on how we can find solutions
to the problems that face our country. This included hosting over 10 roundtable discussions and listening
sessions. I enjoy traveling throughout the district and meeting with people. Stay tuned to future announcements,
as I or my staff may be in your town. This has just been the first 100 days and I plan to keep
going strong.
As always, you can follow everything I am working on in Arizona and Washington, D.C. through my website (http://gosar.house.gov ) on Twitter @repgosar , or through Facebook at Representative Paul Gosar.
Sincerely,
Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. Member of Congress |
