McHenry Calls for Congress to Hold China Accountable
Today, I was disappointed House Democrats blocked passage of my amendment that would have made H.R. 6270 more than just a political talking point. We must stand against China and hold them accountable for their human rights abuses against the Uyghur people. Watch the speech I delivered on the House Floor in support of my amendment and calling for Congress to actually take action against the threat of the Chinese Communist Party.

McHenry Delivers Remarks at Hearing on the Partisan HEROES Act
While Americans continue to deal with the coronavirus and the impact it has had on their homes, jobs, schools, and businesses, Financial Services Committee Democrats held a hearing today that was a complete waste of time. While we could have heard from witnesses on how to help Americans impacted financially by the pandemic, we instead spent the day discussing the partisan HEROES Act, which already passed the House with bipartisan opposition over two months ago. Watch my remarks at today’s hearing highlighting the valuable time we wasted:
McHenry Delivers Speech in Support of the Great American Outdoors Act
Today, I delivered a speech on the House floor in support of the Great American Outdoors Act. This bill permanently reauthorizes the Land and Water Conservation Fund and addresses the maintenance backlog in our national parks. Here in western North Carolina, we know firsthand the importance of conserving our national parks and public lands, not only to ensure access for future generations, but to protect the vital economic role they play in our communities. This bill accomplishes that.

Congressman McHenry Delivers Opening Remarks at Hearing with Federal Reserve Chairman Powell
In yesterday’s Financial Services Committee virtual hearing with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, I commended the Fed’s rapid and decisive action to prevent the worst effects of the economic catastrophe brought about by the coronavirus. According to the Fed’s economic projections, we will still be facing unprecedented unemployment for the rest of this year, nearly twice the unemployment rate we experienced just as recently as February. Creating an economic recovery that creates jobs must be priority number one as we continue to combat the impact the coronavirus has had in our communities.

McHenry Joins Varney & Co. to discuss Iran protests
This morning I joined Varney & Co on Fox Business to discuss the recent protests in Iran and why Democrats have fallen silent. I will always be proud to stand behind a Commander in Chief who is willing to take decisive action against sworn enemies of our nation. It is disappointing to see Democrats put political games ahead of supporting the people of Iran in their fight for freedom from this murderous regime.
Christmas Greetings to the Tenth District
Giulia, Cecelia, Rese, and I wanted to wish everyone in the Tenth District a Merry Christmas! Today, as you enjoy time with family and friends, I’d like to share a brief message asking you to join me in praying for our service members and our first responders who are away from home this Christmas season. They have sacrificed time with their loved ones so we can be with ours. Today, and every day, I am thankful for their service.
McHenry Delivers Speech on the House Floor Against the Articles of Impeachment
Rather than pursing the priorities of the American people, House Democrats have spent the last year focused on removing President Trump from office. As evidence of this choice, look no further than the fact that more subpoenas have been issued than bills have been signed into law. Rather than working for all Americans, House Democrats have ignored the facts and forced through their own sham process to undo the 2016 election. Watch my full speech against the articles of impeachment here:
Celebrating Small Business Saturday
Small businesses play a vital role in helping our communities and economy grow. In fact, small businesses are responsible for two out of every three new jobs created in the United States. Today to celebrate Small Business Saturday, I wanted to share my story about one small business that changed my life. Let us show our appreciation this Saturday by shopping small and thanking these job creators for everything they do here in the Tenth District.
Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone here in western North Carolina. As we enjoy this holiday with friends and family we are reminded of how much we have to be thankful for as Americans. This year, I wanted to share a brief video to celebrate Thanksgiving and to ask you to join me in giving thanks for everything that makes our country the best in the world. May God continue to bless America.
