For far too long our government's promises to lower the cost of housing have been mired in red tape and bureaucracy.
I’m fighting to make sure those days are behind us. I just introduced the bipartisan and bicameral Build HUBS Act with @RepMikeLawler, @SenLBR, & @SenJohnCurtis, which will unleash our ability to build more housing and make life more affordable.
