We have not only lost a former president, but a premier example of what service really means. Rest in peace, Mr. President.
George H.W. Bush served our country in a capacity few human beings can ever claim: warrior, lawmaker, ambassador, Intelligence Chief, Vice President and President. His entire life embodied giving of himself.
Rep. Steve Russell retweeted
George H.W. Bush: patriot, public servant, and President of the United States.
Rest in Peace, 41.
#OTD: November 16, 1907, Oklahoma was the 46th state admitted to the Union! I am proud to be a fifth generation Oklahoman and to represent the Fifth District of Oklahoma in Congress. Happy Oklahoma Statehood Day.
There's more work to do, but we have made great strides. We are on the right path. The work cannot stop -- let's keep going.
In the House we're prioritizing YOUR choices when it comes to healthcare by providing local, affordable solutions to solve the problem of growing premiums. Those choices should be yours — because at the end of the day, YOU know what’s best for you, not the government.
Our economy is thriving. The average Oklahoman will see an increase of nearly $20,000 over 10 years as a result of tax reform. Working families will see a bigger number — $35,000 over the next 10 years.
For the first time in over a decade, we fully funded our military ON TIME so they can receive the tools they need to keep our country safe.
We’ve accomplished a lot over the last two years, for Oklahoma and for our country. We've passed more than 1,000 bills out of the House -- 192 more than average.
The economy is BOOMING. Don’t take my word for it. Read for yourself 👇

U.S. employers added a stellar 250,000 jobs last month and boosted average pay by the most in nearly a decade in an effort to attract and keep workers.

For the past 3 years @JimInhofe & I worked to get Kratos to Oklahoma because we believe in protecting our country. We must give our military tools they need to keep us safe. Now Kratos can make those tools in our state. Today’s a great day for #OK05, for Oklahoma & for America.
Kratos puts cutting-edge technology for unmanned aircraft in the hands of our military — and that will keep our country safe.
At the grand opening of Kratos’ 100,000 square-foot production facility in #OKC this morning. They create cutting-edge technology for our military so our soldiers can keep our country safe. Here’s one of their jet-powered drones. Very impressive.
Today’s numbers make it clear our economy is on the right path:
BREAKING: US economy added 250K jobs in October vs +190K expected; unemployment rate at 3.7% cnbc.com/id/105548291
And it’s open! Great to be a part of the ribbon cutting for this center. It’s going to provide hope and quality care for so many in South Oklahoma City.
Toured the Oklahoma National Stockyards in #OKC today with @SecretarySonny and @RepFrankLucas and OK Ag Sec. Reese. Great to meet with them and with students from FFA and @4H!

Finished our day at the Oklahoma National Stockyards with Oklahoma
Ag Secretary Reese, @RepRussell and @RepFrankLucas. These stockyards were founded 108 years ago and cattle ranchers come from all over the country to sell their cattle.
