Congressman Dan Newhouse
When it comes to standing up for their way of life, the people of North Dakota could not have a stronger advocate than Representative Kelly Armstrong. For the past two years, I have worked with Representative Armstrong on a number of issues through his involvement in the Congressional Western Caucus, a group that advocates for the values and beliefs of rural communities across the country. Now, he has introduced legislation that will directly help the people of North Dakota – and those across the country – whose lives have been upended by President Biden’s termination of the Keystone XL Pipeline.
New Mexico Governor: Legislation to Reduce Cost of Health Insurance
Governor, Rep. Armstrong introduce legislation to reduce cost of health insurance and medical expenses
SANTA FE, NM (STL.News) Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and Rep. Deborah Armstrong on Monday announced the introduction of legislation that establishes a new fund that will reduce the cost of health insurance and medical expenses for tens of thousands of working New Mexico families.

This is a real difference-maker for New Mexicans.”

protections, in effect can wage war on the free exercise of religion in the workplace. so against the repeal of don t ask, don t tell against gays and lesbians in the workplace, how does that square with what he said this week jonathan? i don t know. try to square that with not being able to answer a yes or no question from george stephanopoulos when he asked, do you think it s right for businesses in indiana to jim nate? he could not give a yes or no answer. so the governor found himself in a tough bind on sunday a tough bind yesterday and luckily arkansas governor hutchinson saw what happened as as we saw, did not make the same mistake. much different reaction. representative armstrong, let me
