In the 119th Congress, Rep. Mike Bost serves on two other key committees: Transportation & Infrastructure, and Agriculture. The conversation on America's Roundtable covers key topics focusing on addressing pressing policy issues impacting American citizens and the challenges emanating from abroad including the China threat which affects the United States and its allies: — Chairman Mike Bost's leadership role at the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs. — Securing America's borders | Addressing the adverse impact of fentanyl on American lives and deporting illegal immigrants involved in acts of crime and violence. Chairman Bost speaks to sheriffs in the Midwest. — President Donald Trump's economic and security policies — efforts to advance free, fair and reciprocal trade. Chairman Bost provides his insights on the proposed tariffs presented by President Trump. — Chairman Bost re-introduced the Fighting Trade Cheats Act, legislation to hold China and other bad actors accountable for unfair trade practices that destroy American jobs. His bill takes aim at companies dumping foreign-made goods in U.S. markets by allowing U.S. manufacturers to sue foreign producers for customs fraud.

The Veterans' Assuring Critical Care Expansions to Support Service members (ACCESS) Act of 2025 would establish existing community care access standards as the baseline standard of care for veterans seeking care in the community, increase access to life-saving treatment programs for veterans with mental health conditions or addiction and expand the list of criteria VA is required to take into account when determining whether it is in a veteran's best medical interest to refer a veteran to the community to include veteran preference and continuity of care.
