August Pfluger visits Llano Regional Hospital

Thank you to Llano Regional Hospital for welcoming me for a tour and a great conversation with the doctors, nurses, and staff who keep our communities healthy.

It was clear from our conversation how much dedication goes into serving patients here every single day.

As part of the Working Families Tax Cuts, Republicans created the $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Fund to help hospitals continue giving the care that rural patients depend on. I'll always be a strong advocate for our rural hospitals and healthcare providers in Washington.

As a proud advocate for law-abiding gun owners and the Second Amendment, I've long supported cutting the bureaucratic red tape that has burdened responsible Americans for decades. This ruling confirms what many advocates have said for years: that NFA's paperwork, fingerprinting, and waiting periods were justified only as a tax-collection tool, and once that tax was eliminated, so was the legal basis for the burden. I'll keep fighting in Congress to defend the rights of law-abiding gun owners across Texas and the country
