After much prayer and consideration, I have decided not to run for reelection to the House this fall. With gratitude in my heart for the people of Kansas, my staff, friends, and family, and most importantly, a loving God, who has blessed me beyond measure, I look forward to…
Allowing Cnano USA to operate near significant military installations and become embedded in our local supply chains opens the door to Chinese espionage and puts our military intelligence, trade research, and intellectual property at risk of falling into the hands of CCP leaders.…
The unchecked flow of illegal immigrants across our border not only undermines our laws but also opens the door for bad actors to enter the country undetected. We are now confronting a full-blown public safety crisis, one that stretches far beyond the border states and impacts…
Fantastic time catching up with business and community leaders at the KCK Chamber meeting in DC this morning. We talked about the importance of the bipartisan tax bill that recently passed out of the House and other pro-growth policies that can help Kansas businesses succeed.
One week ago, Joe Biden turned his back on our ally Israel and called for an immediate ceasefire. The President's continued weakness on the world stage has only emboldened our adversaries—including Iran. Here's the truth: The evil Iranian regime and their terrorist proxies want…
Today is Tax Day. If you are struggling to get answers from the IRS or any other federal agency, please reach out to my office at (785) 205-5253 or online at laturner.house.gov. My team and I will go to the mat to ensure you get the treatment you deserve from the federal…
Join me in praying for the people of Israel as they fight to defend themselves from ruthless attacks carried out by the Iranian regime. America must ALWAYS stand with our strongest ally in the Middle East—Israel. 🇺🇸🇮🇱
Border security = national security. It's time for real solutions to stop Biden's invasion at the southern border: ✅Restart construction of the border wall ✅End catch-and-release ✅Stop sanctuary city bailouts ✅Designate cartels as foreign terrorist organizations ✅Strengthen…
President Biden's FDA has failed to protect the health and well-being of Americans. We have witnessed the worst disruption to the infant formula market in history, continued drug shortages across the country, and a failure to properly regulate heavy metals in our food supply.
I proudly voted to pass this legislation out of @GOPoversight this week to add a simple yes or no question to the U.S. Census: "Are you a citizen of the United States?" Adding a citizenship question to the census survey will result in more accurate data on the population of…

CNBC: Consumer prices rose 3.5% from a year ago in March, more than expected. The numbers don't lie. President Biden's failed policies have burned a hole in the wallets of hardworking Kansans across our state. Gasoline: +47.8% Groceries: +21.1% Baby food: +30.5% Pet food:…
Congratulations to my friend and colleague @TomColeOK04 on being selected to serve as the new Chairman of @HouseAppropsGOP! I look forward to working together to cut reckless Biden spending, advance our conservative agenda, and ensure tax dollars are being spent responsibly in…

Chuck Schumer is trying to block the Mayorkas impeachment trial to cover up Democrats' failure at the southern border. Here's the truth. Secretary Mayorkas turned a blind eye to our nation's immigration laws and fueled the worst border crisis in American history. I proudly…
Productive roundtable last week with small business owners in Sabetha talking about the need to bring down inflation, cut taxes, and restore conservative, pro-growth policies in Washington. Thanks to the folks at NorthWind Technical Services for hosting me!
The Sabetha Community Hospital is a 25-bed critical access facility and level IV trauma center in Northeast Kansas. I had a great visit last week to get an update from the hospital leadership team about their upcoming expansion that's set to break ground later this month.
Fantastic time meeting with the AP Government class at Hayden High School this week to talk about my work in Washington and across the Second District. Thank you Chase for taking the time to show me around the campus!
Liberals in Washington are hellbent on shredding our Constitutional rights. Every year, thousands of law-abiding Americans are wrongfully denied the right to purchase a firearm because of errors made by unelected government bureaucrats. I am proud to cosponsor @GOPMajorityWhip's…
It's such an honor to have the opportunity to nominate outstanding Kansans to our nation's military academies. Congratulations to Grace from Olpe on being accepted into the United States Naval Academy! Very cool to hear that you were inspired to apply after participating in an…
Small businesses are the backbone of our Kansas economy. I had a great time hosting a small business roundtable in Sabetha yesterday to talk with folks about my work to extend Trump’s tax cuts, bring down inflation, and get the federal government off the backs of hardworking…
