I met with constituent Judi Snyder from Freeport to discuss the important grassroots work she is doing with the Convention of States movement.
As President Trump has long pointed out, Washington, D.C. has become a swamp of career politicians and unelected bureaucrats more interested in protecting their own power than serving the American people. It is long past time to drain it.
The Convention of States effort is about restoring the balance our Founders intended by taking power away from entrenched federal bureaucrats and returning it to the states and to the people where it belongs.
We have seen firsthand what happens when the federal government grows too large and too comfortable. During COVID, the Biden administration used fear and heavy-handed mandates to pressure Americans into compliance, including forcing mask policies that disrupted daily life and divided communities. We can’t let it happen again.
Americans are ready for accountability and real structural reform. Supporting an Article V Convention is one way to pursue the constitutional fixes needed to rein in federal overreach and put the people back in charge.
