Notes from Mike's Desk for June 13 - 17, 2022

Hello, friends. Welcome back to my newsletter highlighting what's happening on Capitol Hill and in Louisiana's 4th Congressional District. Thank you for subscribing and please consider recommending this resource to a friend.

IN THE HOUSE

President Biden's Department of Justice has labeled K-12 parents as "domestic terrorists" while ignoring left-wing activists terrorizing pro-life organizations. If Biden's DOJ actually cares about protecting communities, they will stop ignoring violence that doesn't suit their agenda and start investigating.

HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK

I took a moment this week to honor the life and legacy of Judge Graydon Kitchens, who we lost a week ago. He was truly one of the greatest men I have ever known. His wisdom and friendship will be sorely missed by countless many people.

Thank you again for subscribing and reading. We'll have more next week-and we remain prayerful it may finally bring us the reversal of Roe v. Wade!

For freedom,
