Washington, D.C. – Today, Majority Whip Tom Emmer (MN-06) and Representative Darren Soto (FL-09) announced the introduction of their bipartisan Securities Clarity Act. The bill will provide clarity to the regulatory classification of digital assets, providing market certainty for innovators and clear jurisdictional boundaries for regulators.

Washington, D.C. - Today, Congressman Emmer issued the following statement:  

"Eight fentanyl overdoses in just twenty-four hours. A two-year-old dead of accidental exposure. These are the consequences of the border crisis in Minnesota in the last year alone. President Biden’s open-border policies have aided and abetted tragedy after tragedy."

“In our increasingly digital world, skills in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) have never been more important,” said Emmer. “STEM education is essential to students’ growth as they pursue post-high school opportunities, regardless of their chosen path.”

Washington, D.C. – Last night, the House Financial Services Committee passed three bills led by Majority Whip Tom Emmer (MN-06). The legislation, including the Small Business Entrepreneurs Empowerment and Development (SEED) Act (formerly H.R. 2201 in the 115th Congress), the CFPB Dual Mandate and Economic Analysis Act and the CFPB Whistleblower Incentives and Protection Act, were passed during a markup session on Wednesday.

Elk River, M.N. – Today, Congressman Tom Emmer (MN-06) hosted a roundtable discussion with farmers, ranchers and producers at Oliver Kelley Farm in Elk River, Minnesota. The purpose of the listening session was to solicit input from key stakeholders in the agriculture industry ahead of the 2023 Farm Bill.

“Over the past several years, our farmers have stepped up in the face of workforce shortages, high gas and fertilizer prices and seemingly endless supply chain delays to feed America,” Emmer said.

Washington, D.C. – Yesterday, Majority Whip Tom Emmer (MN-06) questioned Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler regarding the SEC’s regulation-by-enforcement agenda, which only hurts everyday Americans instead of protecting them.

Over the last decade, over twenty spot bitcoin ETP applications have been filed with the SEC, but none have been approved.

Emmer said, “Every year, we are impressed by the promise demonstrated by the Sixth District’s young artists. The competition is a great opportunity for high school students to share their talent and have their work displayed in our nation’s Capitol.”
