.@SenKevinCramer is absolutely right here - we absolutely need to give developers the certainty that politics won’t get in the way of their permits. Doing that would be a huge step towards solving ...

Thanks to @DrJBhattacharya for meeting with BAC yesterday to talk about NIH funding, science innovation, and how we can work together to reinvigorate American scientific research. https://t.co/QCF1...

Red tape stunts everything! Small business owners frequently have to navigate a maze of redundant permits and fees just to start a business. Glad to see NYC cutting back! Other cities and states sh...

Congress did something recently that it hasn't done in decades: major housing reform. Now, we need acceleration, and not just in housing - cheaper energy, better roads, faster cures, and more. Gr...

Good on North Carolina. Not every coffee shop, apartment, or small business needs the same amount of parking. Let communities grow based on demand, not outdated formulas that raise costs and waste...

The U.S. spent $12 billion on transmission congestion costs in 2024 - that's a $33 million tax per day because we've made it too hard to build new transmission. And it's only going to get worse un...

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is finally law! Such a huge step towards tackling our housing shortage & lowering costs. But this is also about restoring trust in gov’t and proving that ...

Emergencies like this are going to become more and more common as our grid infrastructure ages and new projects stall for years.

Manufactured housing is a critical tool for unlocking affordable options for homebuyers. We just passed reforms to make these homes up to $10k cheaper, alongside so many more pro-growth housing win...

One year later, it’s tremendous to see the strongest pro-growth, pro-housing package in 50 years finally pass Congress. I look forward to the President signing this package into law, and to keepin...

When we launched last year, we made the case for why getting back to building is so important: https://t.co/bBgrjjBhYH

We need more homes, we need more affordable energy projects, and we need faster fixes for our roads, bridges, and highways. Unleashing America’s full potential by passing these kinds of pro-growth...

Whether it’s housing costs, or utility bills, or just the potholes in our roads, people are stretched thin in daily life and feeling deep cynicism that things will never change. This housing packa...

But this package is more than just a massive affordability win after decades of housing inaction by Congress. Passing these kinds of historic, pro-growth policies is proof that government can stil...

Critically, the final package kept reforms passed by the House in May to fix build-to-rent provisions that would cut 72k new units every year. This was the biggest sticking point of this saga &amp...

It also brings back reforms that were left out during months of negotiations. The Build Now Act is back, which rewards communities that improve their homebuilding rate. The final package also inc...

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act will lower costs, jumpstart new construction, cut red tape, and speed up some of the slowest parts of approving new housing. It includes a $200 million Innovat...
