Statement on Comey Firing

May 11, 2017

Press Release

I strongly support President Trump's decision to fire James Comey for gross misconduct during his tenure, and only wish he had done so on January 20th. Because of the highly politicized circumstances involving the Russia inquiry, I think an independent prosecutor would be advisable to place the inquiry above reproach.

Congressman McClintock issued the following statement on the nomination of Scott Garrett as President of the Export-Import Bank

May 9, 2017

Press Release

“President Trump has nominated a true champion of free-market principles to lead the Export-Import Bank. I have no doubt that Scott Garrett will fundamentally transform the Bank to embrace merit over political favoritism. That’s a good start.”

HR 1628 – American Health Care Act: YES

May 4, 2017

Vote Notes on Legislation

HR 1628 – American Health Care Act: YES. Obamacare is collapsing. Last year's average premium increase of 25 percent is expected to balloon by another 40 percent this year. Last year there was only one provider in a third of American counties; this year entire regions will be without ANY providers. This week we learned Obamacare policies will NOT be available at any price in almost all of Iowa. Last year, more Americans opted to pay the steep tax penalty or request hardship exclusions than chose to purchase Obamacare plans they didn't want and couldn't afford.

HR 244 – FY 2017 Omnibus Appropriations Act: NO

May 3, 2017

Vote Notes on Legislation

This bill funds the government through September 30th. Sadly, it continues a spending trajectory in which deficits are expected to hit trillion-dollar annual levels within just a few years – risking a sovereign debt crisis that has proven devastating to economic growth and often fatal to other countries...

First 100 Days

April 27, 2017

Speeches

The last four elections have defined one of the most dramatic political realignments in our country’s history. In those elections, we’ve seen a net shift of 64 U.S. House seats, 12 U.S. Senate seats, 10 governors, 919 state legislative seats and the presidency shift from Democrats to Republicans. This happened in large part on three overarching mandates: revive the economy; secure our borders and repair our healthcare system. If President Trump can accomplish these three objectives, his administration and this congress will be remembered as one of the most successful and beneficial in our nation’s history.

H.R.1654 - Water Supply Permitting Coordination Act

April 26, 2017

Speeches

Droughts are nature’s fault. Water shortages are OUR fault. Water shortages are a choice we made a generation ago when we stopped building new reservoirs to meet the needs of a growing population. We will not solve our water shortages until we build new reservoirs. And we cannot build new reservoirs until we overhaul the radical environmental laws that have made their construction endlessly time consuming and ultimately cost prohibitive.

H.R. 1219 – Supporting America’s Innovators Act: YES

April 6, 2017

Vote Notes on Legislation

H.R. 1219 – Supporting America's Innovators Act: YES. Venture capital firms loan money to start-up companies. Since the adoption of Dodd-Frank, heavy government regulation has severely reduced the amount of capital loaned by these firms. Although the JOBS Act of 2012 eased the regulatory burdens on small capital venture firms, its provisions did not apply to coordinated investment pools of more than 100 investors. This bill simply raises that cap to 250, on funds with less than $10 million of capitalization.
