Congressman McHenry Weekly Update

Did You Know?

The House has been hard at work passing bills that are important to you and your families. Since January we have voted to repeal and replace Obamacare, made important reforms to the VA system, and given our troops the biggest raise they've received in years. We've accomplished a great deal that will help improve the lives of the American people.

Undoing Harmful Regulations

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s harmful anti-arbitration rule put trial lawyers and special interests before American consumers. It was another example of deeply flawed regulations from an Obama-era bureaucrat. Recently, the House of Representatives used the Congressional Review Act to undo this regulation and help ensure American consumers are protected. This is the fifteenth time this year the House has used the Congressional Review Act to undo Obama-era regulations. Click here or on the image below to read my full statement on passage of H.J. Res. 111.
