It's been a busy 4 months since I became Wyoming's Congresswoman; here are only a few of the highlights of what I've accomplished so far. Rest assured, there are many more to come.

Democrats lined up to voice their objections to my bill, the Grizzly Bear State Management Act. Time after time, they proposed amendments to the bill, claiming that my bill would strip tribes from a seat at the table for delisting discussions and leave agencies unprepared.

The problem is, those amendments are already in effect through the contents of the Endangered Species Act. Instead of wasting time debating rules that already exist, I hope future committee discussions will focus on the issues that haven't been addressed.

The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem grizzly bear met its recovery goal 20 years ago, but environmental activists and bureaucratic intervention have prevented its delisting, in line with Endangered Species Act guidelines.

The supposed purpose of the Endangered Species Act is to help animal populations recover to sustainable numbers, at which point they are delisted. Yet only 3% of all species placed on the endangered list have been delisted.

Federal intervention in wildlife management not only hasn't resulted in success as defined under the ESA, but actively hampers state efforts to manage both listed species and unlisted species, often causing risk to unlisted prey species. If the federal government isn't able to find success, maybe it's time we return authority to state authorities who have.

Time and time again, ATF bureaucrats use their active imaginations to reinvent and redefine laws passed by Congress. Time and time again, these new interpretations venture farther away from Congress' intent, robbing Congress of their Constitutional right and reclassifying faithful, law abiding citizens into de facto criminals.

The legal standing and safety of American's shouldn't depend on the fickle whims of unelected bureaucrats.

While Democrats cry out that climate change is destroying our forests through devastating wildfires, the reality is much simpler. USDA policies such as the Roadless Rule claim to preserve our wilderness, but instead hamper our ability to thin forests, treat invasive and destructive species like the Rocky Mountain Region Bark Beetle, and rapidly respond to wildfires when they first begin.

Newsmax | Rep Hageman: Sec. Blinken continued Biden's "regular, everyday corruption" (4/22/23)

After over 6 hours of constant debate on the Republicans' proposed fix for our nation's porous border and inadequate immigration system, my Democrat colleagues finally began to realize just how horrendous the conditions created by Biden's border crisis are.

Yet even with this revelation, they continue to seek to address the symptoms of this crisis, not solve the problem itself. Simply pouring more money towards temporary bandages will not fix this crisis: we need wholesale change, and that's what the Border Security and Enforcement Act will do.
