Congressman Josh Brecheen, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Oklahoma’s 2nd district, recently shared his thoughts on legislative developments through a series of tweets.

Citing Washington’s reliance on “upright intentions,” Brecheen emphasized a similar principle guiding his own choices as a legislator. “(1/4) Why I Voted Yes on the One Big Beautiful Bill Writing to Henry Knox in 1795 as he faced the intense national debate over the Jay Treaty, George Washington described his lack of perfect wisdom: ‘I have found no better guide hitherto than upright intentions, and close https://t.co/nUdQdlz9Qe'”
