Scientific and technological discoveries have made our country a global economic leader. I support efforts aimed at spurring innovation, which will lead to economic growth and create jobs for the American people. Additionally, I believe we should encourage our children to become the scientists and engineers of tomorrow. I support efforts to increase access to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) programs in order to inspire children to pursue these fields.
I am honored to serve on the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee. I will advocate for legislation aimed at ensuring the United States maintains its place as a global leader for innovation.
