I had the privilege of getting to know Megan when she served in my office as my Defense fellow in 2018.

“What makes this all the more impressive is that Peyton's success in the pageant world came not after years of practice and experience but on her first try. The poise and maturity she has demonstrated in competition, but also in so many other facets of life, are serving her incredibly well as she represents our community, the State of Arkansas, and our Nation.

I was pleased to meet her while she was in the Page Program and then reconnect after she claimed the Miss Arkansas' Teen title, last summer. It is encouraging to see her pursuing her new, larger platform to inspire positive change and promote civic engagement to America's next generation of leaders, and I am thankful she can now take this effort nationwide and give back in such a meaningful way.”

“Madam President, I rise in opposition to amendment No. 664. Agriculture Secretary Rollins and the White House have made clear that addressing avian flu is a top priority. I share my colleague from Michigan's concerns about avian flu, but this is not the appropriate venue for policy discussions on animal disease. This budget resolution is focused on securing the border, strengthening the military, and bolstering American energy independence. I look forward to working with the Senator from Michigan, a fellow Member whom we are glad to have on the Agriculture Committee--a new member--to address animal disease threats in the farm bill. I urge my colleagues to vote against the amendment. Vote on Amendment No. 664”
