                           ONE YEAR IN OFFICE

  (Mr. SHREVE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SHREVE. Madam Speaker, just a year ago, I was sworn in in this 
Chamber to represent the good people of Indiana's Sixth District.
  Since then, I have traveled the district from Columbus to Rushville, 
Connersville to Winchester, listening to Hoosiers. They are generous 
with their time, candid with their opinions, and not shy about telling 
you when you are wrong.
  My office has handled some 50,000 constituent inquiries. We have 
helped over 450 Hoosiers with the IRS, the VA, and the Postal Service. 
We have recovered about $5 million for hardworking families. That was 
their money. We were just the middlemen.
  This year, six of my bills passed the House, including the Build the 
Wall Act, which was signed into law by President Trump. It repurposes 
unspent COVID funds to complete construction of our southern border 
wall, and it didn't cost taxpayers an additional dime.
  I have focused on legislation that cuts red tape, unleashes American 
energy, lowers costs, and brings costs down for Hoosiers. Washington 
makes this harder than it should be. I will keep working at it.
  Next year, I will keep traveling our district, listening first, and 
doing my level best to bring some Hoosier common sense here to 
Washington.
