During my time in Congress, I have seen in this Administration’s policies what I consider obvious executive overreach and a blatant lack of transparency.

After the attack on the consulate in Benghazi and the deaths of four Americans the...

At the end of this year, I will finish my career as Wyoming’s sole U.S. Representative as the Committee’s Vice Chairman.
