Rep. Jerry Carl: Reflecting on Holy Week

Palm Sunday marked the beginning of Holy Week. For those of us who are Christians, this week is a good time to slow down, spend time with family, and reflect on the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made for all of us.  Easter is a cornerstone of our Christian faith, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It […]

Rep. Jerry Carl: Here to serve

While securing our southern border, cutting wasteful government spending, and holding the Biden administration accountable are a few of my top priorities, I also make sure my team and I are doing all we can to work on your behalf with federal agencies.  This is one of the most important parts of my job as your […]

Last week, I helped pass a bill that has a lot of wins for Alabama’s First Congressional District.  I am excited this bill brings almost $30 million of your tax dollars back home rather than allowing it to go to liberal states like New York and California. Most importantly, this bill cuts more than $200 […]

Rep. Carl: Keeping up with Congressman Carl

Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the privilege to meet with small business owners, farmers, educators, and families across South Alabama. Time and time again their number one concern is the chaos down at our Southern Border.  I proudly supported the passage of the strongest border security bill that has ever passed Congress. H.R. […]

Rep. Carl: Republicans need to unify against Biden

After seeing the results in South Carolina, it is evident we need to unite behind Donald Trump in combating Joe Biden’s efforts to drive this country into the ground. Since day one, I have been working to fight the Biden Administration’s far left policies like reckless government spending, insane environmental regulations, and our wide-open Southern […]

Rep. Carl: Presidents’ Day and President Trump

Presidents’ Day is a time in America when we remember and honor the leaders who helped shape our country. It’s a day to think about the values that make America great, like freedom and hard work. One important thing to remember is that the Founding Fathers believed in these values too. They wanted everyone to […]

We have known for years now that Joe Biden is unfit to be President due to his lack of mental awareness, under the table deals with foreign adversaries, and the way he has completely sacrificed our national security for monetary gain. What we already know has been confirmed several times by the Department of Justice […]

Rep. Carl: Mayorkas should be fired

Our Southern Border is wide open, and Secretary Mayorkas has done absolutely nothing to bring relief to the crisis the Biden administration has created. President Biden inherited the lowest rate of illegal immigration in 45 years, and 3 years into his presidency, we are seeing the highest-ever rate of illegal immigrants pouring into our country.  […]

Rep. Carl: World less safe under Joe Biden’s leadership

With chaos around the world and constant threats here at home, the President’s number one priority should be supporting our national defense and being a leader on the global stage. Our enemies are becoming bolder and more capable, and the United States absolutely must continue maintaining a dominant military posture to protect against any threats. […]

Rep. Carl: Restoring parents' voices in the classroom

Since Joe Biden took office, his Administration has been working around the clock to fundamentally change America’s K-12 education system so they can indoctrinate our school-aged children with their radical agenda and woke ideology. I’ve seen so many things out of this Administration that bother me greatly, especially when they labeled concerned and involved parents […]

Rep. Jerry Carl: America needs a real border security deal

This past week, Sens. Chuck Schumer and James Lankford proposed their idea of a “border deal” that should really be described as an “illegal immigrant deal.” This proposed deal includes providing incompetent illegal aliens with legal counsel on the American taxpayers’ dime, allows 5,000 immigrants per day into the United States, and increases green cards […]

Rep. Jerry Carl: Update on Biden impeachment

I have said from day one if we follow the money, we will be able to expose the truth about the Biden Crime Family. All three House committees currently investigating President Biden have exposed many of his corrupt business dealings through releasing bank records and issuing subpoenas to family members. Additionally, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability released […]

Rep. Jerry Carl: 2024 priorities

The House returns to Washington next week to begin the second session of the 118th Congress. My top priority this year is to take the fight to President Biden and fix the damage he’s done to this country. We must secure our southern border, protect life, and rein in reckless government spending. Last year, the House […]

Rep. Jerry Carl: House Republicans’ 2023 wrapup

I’ve written before about how House Republicans have hit the ground running, fulfilling our Commitment to America – this includes building an economy that’s strong, a nation that’s safe, a future that’s built on freedom, and a government that’s accountable to the American people. I’m proud to report we have continued delivering on this commitment, […]

Rep. Carl: NDAA is a win for Alabama and the United States

Congress’s most important responsibility is providing our men and women in uniform the equipment and training they need to protect us every day. The Fiscal Year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act does just that. The FY24 NDAA authorizes a total of $886.3 billion in spending for the Department of Defense and includes $316.6 million in […]

Rep. Jerry Carl: GOP delivering results under Speaker Johnson

In October, the House elected Rep. Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House. Speaker Johnson has proven himself as a strong leader and tireless fighter for our conservative values. Most importantly, he is a man of deep faith who practices what he preaches. After electing Speaker Johnson, we got right to work in the People’s […]

Woke corporations have been getting away with silencing conservative voices and values for a long time, and I have had enough. Recently, Google Maps temporarily removed Capitol Hill Pregnancy Center from their map and instead suggested two different locations: A pro-life pregnancy center a state away, and a local Planned Parenthood Center in Washington, D.C.  […]

While I spend much of my time meeting with constituents, working on legislation, and voting for you in Washington, my office and I are also here to serve you by working on your behalf with federal agencies. This is one of the most important parts of my job as your representative, and I have found […]

Rep. Jerry Carl: Thankful for life’s blessings

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Thanksgiving is a special day when we get to come together to give thanks for all the good things in our lives. It’s a time to appreciate our families, friends, and the values that make our country great.  For me, I’m thankful to live in a country where the people control the government, […]

Rep. Jerry Carl: Veterans Day

One of the biggest reasons why I ran for Congress was so I could do more to help our veterans, reservists, and active duty service members. Veterans Day is a time to appreciate and honor the sacrifices made by those who have served our great nation and protected the freedoms and liberties that are the […]

Despite a few weeks of turmoil in Washington, House Republicans are continuing to deliver results for the American people, just as we have done since taking the Majority back in January.  Under Speaker Mike Johnson’s leadership, the first thing we did last week was pass a bipartisan resolution standing with Israel as it defends itself […]

Rep. Carl: Following the Biden money trail

Over the summer, President Biden asked, “Where’s the money?” when he was questioned about allegations of bribery during his time as a public figure. Well, just this past Friday, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Republicans found the money. Chairman James Comer announced the Committee found a $200,000 direct payment to Joe Biden in […]

Rep. Carl: Supporting our national defense

With chaos around the world and constant threats here at home, the federal government’s priority should be supporting our national defense.  House Republicans have already passed this year’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and the Defense Appropriations Act. These two bills set the priorities of the Department of Defense (DOD), as well as fund the […]

Rep. Carl: I stand with Israel

I have always stood with Israel, and I know it is incredibly important for us all to come together and support them as they come under attack yet again from Hamas terrorists that are backed by Iran. I fully support Israel’s right to defend itself against this violence. What has happened over the past few […]
