It was an honor to accept the Award for Conservative Excellence from the American Conservative Union. They rated my voting at 96%, the highest in the Colorado delegation, for my work to protect the unborn, end Obamacare and sanctuary cities, and pass historic tax reform. It is a privilege to be recognized in this way because my vote is a vote in Congress on behalf of the people in Colorado's Fifth Congressional District
It was my privilege to meet the last living American World War II triple-ace fighter pilot Col. Clarence “Bud” Anderson at the ceremony where he accepted an official recognition from Congress on behalf of the National Museum of World War II Aviation in Colorado Springs. I was proud to sponsor the resolution in the House of Representatives to make it one of only 12 museums in America to receive national recognition. (Photo from Colorado Springs Gazette)
On March 23rd I had the privilege of presenting awards to the winners of the Congressional Art Competition here in the Fifth District. I've been amazed at the great artistic talents of the young people in the Colorado Fifth Congressional District over the years of judging the competition. This gives me the chance to meet the best and brightest young men and women of the District. This year we recognized the teachers of the students, as they're the primary shapers of our young people's artistic talent. The art competition provides us with a wonderful opportunity to showcase the abilities of our District's brilliant young artists to the rest of the nation. Once the winners have been selected by a local panel of professional artists, the Grand Prize winner's art displayed in the United States Capitol Building for one year. It's always a joy to walk by the artwork of our young students and admire their hard work and artistic ability I look forward to seeing the work of this year's winner displayed alongside that of other brilliant young artists from across America.
I was honored to receive the True Blue Award from the Family Research Council. Consistently voting pro-life and pro-family is important to me.
Rep. Lamborn rallied for Jack Phillips today while the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission case. Jack doesn’t violate any proper understanding of nondiscrimination laws. He serves all people, but declines some requests for custom cakes that conflict with his faith. That is not a form of unlawful discrimination, but a legitimate exercise of his artistic and religious freedom.
Rep. Lamborn and Rep. Lee Zeldin (NY-01) join Stuart and Robbi Force, the parents of Taylor Force, whom H.R. 1165 was named for after his murder by Palestinian Authority funded terrorism. The Palestinian Authority allocates hundreds of millions of dollars annually to pay terrorists to murder innocent Israelis and Americans. The bill is an important first step in ending U.S. tax dollars from supporting terrorists who kill innocents like Taylor.
Speaker Ryan signed the National Defense Authorization Act for 2018. This bill funds our military, gives our troops a pay raise, and reforms our approach to space defense. I was honored to attend and see this bill move further along. Now it's on to the White House.
I am pleased to announce that construction on Phase 1 of the construction of the Pikes Peak National Cemetery is underway. Phase 1 will be completed in Fall of 2019 and cover 65 acres with 13,000 burial sites. Over the coming decades the cemetery will expand until it can hold up to 200,000 burial sites. This cemetery will be a memorial to our veterans and their service. I'll continue to work with the VA to ensure the Pikes Peak National Cemetery is completed on time for veterans in our community. Our region is home to 80% of the state's veterans and Colorado has the highest percentage of veterans in the nation. We're long overdue for a local cemetery to honor our veterans and provide a final resting place to America's heroes.

Former President Obama's disastrous nuclear deal with Iran gave the Islamic Regime hundreds of millions of dollars to export terrorism around the world and more gravely, a path to nuclear weapons. The deal made no mention of Iran's ballistic missiles program, their human rights abuses, and ultimately allows Iran to start proliferating after the deal expires. It is a welcome change to have an Administration that takes Iran at its word that they want to destroy our country, our allies, and our way of life. Understanding this threat is the only way we can make our country safe again. I echo President Trump's gratitude to Israel for uncovering key intelligence that helped in the decision to pull out of the deal, and I also extend the same message of hope to the Iranian people suffering under this brutal regime.
It is so important to preserve the freedom of pregnancy medical centers. The people in these centers work tirelessly to serve the babies, women, and families in our communities here in Colorado. Across the country, these centers are beacons of hope for women facing unplanned pregnancies. I had the pleasure of speaking on behalf of these centers and their tremendous work outside the Supreme Court as oral arguments began in NIFLA v. Beccerra, a case that pits pregnancy care centers against their values. Please watch here on this important case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo4INb5nMBc&t=4s
I was honored to receive the "True Blue" award for my voting record from the Family Research Council. My score of 100% is based on votes on legislation such as No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion, Disapproval of Obama's Title X Rule, Obamacare Repeal and Replace, Confirmation of Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court, and the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act, among others.
The Air Force announced the relocation of Joint Forces Space Component staff to Schriever AFB, CO from California. This means 148 additional personnel will move to the district at the National Space Defense Center, according to the Air Force. This makes sense as now Gen. Raymond will have his own staff within 30 minutes of his work location instead of in California. The funds appropriated by the FY18 Omnibus are being used to help the military modernize and make smart decisions such as moving General Raymond’s staff from California to Colorado. It further emphasizes Colorado's important role in protecting our country and Colorado Springs’ position as the epicenter of the national security space enterprise.

Rep. Lamborn rallied outside the Supreme Court of the United States on behalf of pregnancy care centers across the nation as oral arguments in the NIFLA v. Becerra case were held inside the Court. California’s state government through the Reproductive FACT Act is forcing pregnancy resource centers to advertise where women can get a low cost or free abortion. This is a brazen offense against the Constitution and freedom of speech. Congressman Doug Lamborn is honored to have served Colorado's Fifth Congressional District since 2006. He is the current Chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee’s Subcommittee on Water, Power, and Oceans and a member of the Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources. He also serves on the House Armed Services Committee as a member of the Subcommittee on Strategic Forces and the Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities. He has a strong record of advocating for our military and our veterans, defending the Second Amendment, and calling for immigration reform and tax reform.

H.R. 4851, introduced by Congressman André Carson and co-sponsored by Congresswoman Susan Brooks, would establish the Kennedy-King National Commemorative Site, in Indianapolis, Indiana. The site is located where Senator Kennedy delivered a historic speech on April 4, 1968 in reaction to the news of Dr. Martin Luther King's assassination.
