In an exclusive interview, GOP Representative-elect Derek Schmidt shared his vision for the upcoming session of Congress, emphasizing a commitment to shake up the status quo. With Republicans poised to reclaim control of the House by a narrow margin, Schmidt outlined a bold agenda aimed at revitalizing the economy and addressing pressing national issues.
Central to his plan is the integration of innovative financial solutions, including the popular cryptocurrency Dogecoin, which he believes can play a significant role in modernizing financial systems. Schmidt is also keen on advancing policies that align with former President Donald Trump's agenda, asserting that these measures will help steer the country back on track.
Schmidt's message is clear: "No more business as usual." He insists that the GOP must prioritize accountability, transparency, and economic growth. As the new Congress prepares to convene, Schmidt's approach reflects a growing sentiment among many Republicans to break away from traditional political practices and embrace a more dynamic, forward-thinking strategy.
