Foreign Affairs
American leadership on the global stage is critical. At the beginning of the 118th Congress, I became the first Texan to ever chair the Foreign Affairs Committee, which dates all the way back to the Continental Congress. This committee is responsible for oversight of State Department policy and promoting a responsible legislative agenda that bolsters international engagement with our allies, counters the aggressive policies of our adversaries, and advances the common interests of nations in defense of stability and democracy around the globe.
I look forward to using this position to help secure our border, combat the malign influence of the Chinese Communist Party, and hold the Biden administration accountable for its foreign policy blunders — especially the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
