I met with Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson to discuss the Administration’s ongoing reforms to the national security space enterprise. The 5th Congressional District of Colorado is the epicenter of national defense space, and I had a productive conversation on everything Colorado Springs has to offer, including coming decisions on topics such as where U.S. Space Command will be located.
I was honored to have met the brave Navy Seal who killed Osama Bin Laden. I’m thankful for his service and sacrifice to our country.
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.

Today, Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cakeshop was finally vindicated! When confronted by overwhelming evidence of its own anti-religious hostility, the Colorado Civil Rights Commission dropped their case against Jack. Religious freedom is critical to a free society and must be defended! The Commission’s relentless targeting of Jack Phillips was indefensible, which is why last fall I asked the Department of Justice to investigate them for systemic anti-religious bias. The dismissal of the case is great news for Jack and his family, for Colorado, and for everyone who believes in the fundamental American principle of religious freedom. https://www.foxnews.com/us/colorado-christian-baker-settle-after-it-was-revealed-state-used-anti-religious-hostility
President Trump is well within his constitutional right to declare a national emergency at the southern border. Time and time again, the facts show what's really going on there - human trafficking, drug trading, and many other dangerous crimes threatening our way of life. Border Patrol Agents have said they need reinforcement to combat these issues. Whether it be through technology, strengthened portions of the wall, or manpower, they need resources to keep our country safe. That's why President Trump sent American troops to the southern border. His response to this crisis is appropriate.
I applaud President Trump and Secretary Azar for their tireless efforts to revise the outdated Title X regulations to ensure tax dollars are used for family planning. This new rule will restore the program’s efficiency and integrity and provide protection for victims of sexual assault. It provides a bright line of separation between abortion services and family planning by directing tax dollars to entities that provide healthcare to women but do not perform abortions, ending the illegitimate use of Title X grant money as a slush fund for abortion providers. Last year, many of my colleagues in the House and I requested a revision of these regulations. I’m very pleased with the new rule that will protect the program, protect the recipients, and protect the consciences of the taxpayers who fund it.
I have the immense honor of nominating young men and women from Colorado's Fifth Congressional District to our nation's great service academies. To those students nominated this year: Congratulations, and thank you for answering the call to serve your country. The unparalleled freedoms and liberties that we enjoy as Americans - freedoms and liberties that have propelled our nation to prosperity and contributed to the values that make America great - would not exist were it not for the men and women like these. It has been a joy to learn a bit about each of you and to provide you with a well-earned nomination. I wish you all the best as you pursue your dreams.

I hope to see Judge Brett Kavanaugh confirmed quickly - particularly in time for the U.S. Supreme Court's next term which will begin in October. 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. During his tenure in Congress, he has been a strong voice on behalf of small businesses and a consistent leader on pro-family issues.

Congressman Lamborn Offered up a bill that would prohibit the use of funds to implement or enforce the threatened species or endangered species listing of any plant or wildlife that has not undergone a five year review as required by the Endangered Species Act of 1973. This would ensure that listed species are properly managed and not enforce protections that do not comply with the law.
