In South Charleston, West Virginia, over 100 direct jobs at Solenis \u2013 one of the nations\u2019 chlorinated iso producers \u2013 are at stake.\n\nClick here for the full letter.\n\nOn Commerce\u2019s decision to replace Mexico with Romania on calculating dumping margins:\n\nDear Secretary Raimondo:\n\nWe are writing to express our concern over a preliminary determination by the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) that threatens the future of domestic manufacturers in our state and across the nation. Specifically, we request your direct oversight to reexamine the underlying analysis in preliminary decision 89 FR 56303 issued on July 9, 2024, which, left unchanged, would result in a dramatic reduction of antidumping (AD) duty rates on chlorinated isocyanurates (isos) from China. If finalized, the over 80% reduction of AD rates on unfairly dumped Chinese would jeopardize domestic manufacturing jobs in West Virginia, undermine U.S. trade remedy laws, and further weaken our nation\u2019s ability to compete fairly against China\u2019s use of unfair trade practices.\n\nThe current preliminary determination would reduce existing antidumping duty rates on chlorinated isos by over 80%. The proposed reduction stems from Commerce\u2019s decision to use Romania as the surrogate country for calculating dumping margins, replacing Mexico, which has historically been used.\n\nWhile Romania was included among the FY24 list of five countries deemed by Commerce as most appropriate surrogate economies for China, Mexico was not. However, the FY25 surrogate country list for China, published shortly after issuing this preliminary determination, on August 27, 2024, restored Mexico to the list and dropped Romania. Mexico is the correct and only appropriate choice for selection as the surrogate country.\n\nRomania does not produce chlorinated isos, but rather bleach, a fundamentally different product. While both serve as chlorine-based disinfectants, their end-uses are quite different. Chlorinated isos are used for slow, continuous disinfection, and require exposure to water to activate (e.g., in swimming pools), whereas bleach is used for fast-acting, short-term disinfection (e.g., household cleaning) and is not dependent on exposure to another element for activation. Moreover, chlorinated isos are significantly more complex \u2013 requiring higher-educated (e.g. chemists) and other skilled personnel \u2013 and time-consuming to produce than bleach, making Romania an unsuitable surrogate. Finally, bleach does not include cyanuric acid, which is a key ingredient in chlorinated isos providing their stabilizing function. By contrast, Mexico produces identical and scalable production of chlorinated isos.\n\nOn the negative impact Commerce\u2019s decision would have on the U.S. and West Virginians working at Solenis if approved:\n\nCommerce also has a policy allowing for the selection of an off-list surrogate country in cases where no listed country produces comparable merchandise. Given that Romania is not a suitable comparator, Commerce has the discretion, precedent, and obligation to select Mexico.\n\nThe flawed selection of Romania as the surrogate country undermines the integrity of this determination and, if not modified prior to finalization, will have significant ramifications for U.S. manufacturers including in West Virginia. Reducing AD duty rates on chlorinated isos by 80% would allow Chinese producers to flood the U.S. market with their products, effectively pricing out domestic manufacturers.\n\nIn South Charleston, West Virginia, over 100 direct jobs at Solenis, one of the nations\u2019 chlorinated iso producers, are at stake. Across the country, thousands more workers would be adversely affected if this critical industry is compromised. The purpose of U.S. antidumping and countervailing duties is to create a level playing field for domestic producers. Commerce\u2019s preliminary determination effectively removes the remedy.\n\nOn the lawmakers\u2019 push for Commerce to consider reversing the decision:\n\nWe urge Commerce to carefully reconsider the surrogate country selection and duty margin calculations in this case. The decision to use Romania is not only procedurally questionable but also fundamentally flawed in its logic and its consequences for U.S. industry.\n\nOn behalf of the workers in West Virginia, the operational health of the broader domestic industry, and the safety of American consumers, we respectfully request your intervention to correct course before a final determination is issued.\n\nYour leadership is critical to ensuring that the Department upholds its mission to protect U.S. manufacturers and workers from unfair trade practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter.\n\nBackground:\n\nFor nearly twenty years, the U.S. has levied anti-dumping (AD) and countervailing duties (CVD) on imports of this product from China due to unfair trade practices.\n\nWhen Commerce calculates AD/CVD duties, they use a comparison \u201csurrogate\u201d country that manufactures an identical or similar product for the purposes of calculating duty rates.\n\nFor years, Commerce has used Mexico as the surrogate country for calculating China duties because Mexico produces a near identical product. However, in July 2024, Commerce used Romania instead of Mexico as the baseline example, despite the fact that Romania does not make the same product.\n\nCommerce\u2019s decision will result in antidumping rates on China dropping by 80% and an increased competitive disadvantage for West Virginia workers and other American manufacturers.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:07:19Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/bipartisan-energy-export-caucus-releases-statement-doe-lng-report", "Bipartisan Energy Export Caucus Releases Statement on DOE LNG Report", "2024-12-20", "2024", "2024-12", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

Many are fighting for their very existence. A hundred rural hospitals closed and nearly a hundred more have converted to exclusively emergency or outpatient care since 2005, according to a University of North Carolina study.\n\nIn southern West Virginia, a different story is unfolding. Showing the resilience that is so much a part of our state, the new Williamson Memorial in Mingo County recently was licensed to operate as a 76-bed general hospital. That represents a turnaround rarely seen in the complicated world of rural health.\n\nWhen Williamson Memorial Hospital shuttered in spring 2020, Williamson Health & Wellness Center stepped in and purchased the facility. The leadership and staff of Williamson Health & Wellness Center have worked tirelessly since to bring back Williamson Memorial.\n\nThat effort required the investment of millions of dollars in public and private money to renovate the facility, which included a full overhaul of the building\u2019s heating, ventilation and air conditioning system; the refurbishing of the air quality system; revamping the medical gas system; updating the electrical system; asbestos abatement; the addition of state-of-the-art medical equipment; and so much more.\n\nI recently toured the facility with Tim Hatfield, the CEO, and found the improvements incredible. I was thrilled at how this will positively impact southern West Virginia. The team at the new Williamson Memorial has hired 50 people to restart the facility, generating $2.2 million in payroll and benefits.\n\nThe new Williamson Memorial serves to provide access to care that patients otherwise would lack and delivers an economic engine to the Tug Valley.\n\nUnfortunately, we in West Virginia know the odds are stacked against rural hospitals. Hundreds across the country are at risk of closing because of financial woes, according to a study by the Center for Healthcare Quality and Payment Reform. These odds haven\u2019t stopped C. Donovan Beckett, or \u2018Dino\u2019 as most of us know him, and his team from aspiring for more.\n\nI know the staff at the new Williamson Memorial have a blueprint that will bring success where others have struggled. Through integration with Williamson Health & Wellness Center, a federally qualified health center, the new Williamson Memorial will gain efficiencies other rural hospitals lack. This will help the hospital avoid the financial pitfalls that typically await any hospital.\n\nCombining a commitment to the community with a vision to make the new hospital better than ever and sustainable for generations to come, Beckett, the wellness center and the hospital are doing what others thought impossible. Through the new Williamson Memorial, West Virginia is leading the way in protecting access to rural health care.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:07:19Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/millers-statement-bidens-continued-lng-export-pause", "Miller's Statement on Biden's Continued LNG Export Pause", "2024-12-17", "2024", "2024-12", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

By claiming that exporting American energy is dangerous for the economy and the environment, the administration is undermining U.S. national security and fundamentally misunderstanding the implications of shutting down domestic energy production. The world looks to the United States for leadership and direction on energy production, and Joe Biden has forced our allies to rely on Russia, China, and Iran as energy sources. This is unacceptable.\n\nThe American people overwhelmingly voted for President Trump\u2019s agenda to reestablish American energy dominance on the world stage. No amount of bureaucracy or reports from unelected officials will stop President Trump from lifting Biden\u2019s ban on LNG export permits on his first day in office. Removing Biden\u2019s ban on LNG exports is the first step in lowering the cost of living, increasing reliability, and improving grid efficiency.

The American people sent back the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives with a clear message: Help Trump get the government off our backs, and don\u2019t raise our taxes. People are sick of the Biden administration\u2019s excessive overreach, including the intention to hire 87,000 new Internal Revenue Service agents to nitpick every aspect of their lives.\n\nBut lame-duck Biden has not heard this message. Indeed, last week, his IRS showcased its plans to make life harder for American taxpayers by releasing guidance on the 1099-K threshold. Acting unilaterally, the Biden IRS illegally changed the reporting threshold to $5,000 for tax year 2024, reducing it to $2,500 in 2025, and will finally implement the law\u2019s requirement of $600 in 2026.\n\nThe 1099-K form is meant to report income earned from businesses accepting payments from credit cards or e-commerce apps, as well as companies making money selling merchandise or event tickets online. To prevent Americans from having to worry about getting one of these tax forms by accident, the time-tested law had a twofold hurdle: You had to receive at least $20,000 from any one credit card, app, or website, and you had to have at least 200 transactions from that same card, app, or website. Failing to cross either of those lines meant you didn\u2019t need to worry about getting a 1099-K form.\n\nThe misnamed American Rescue Plan radically changed the rules for 1099-K. The $20,000 hurdle was reduced to $600; the 200-transaction hurdle was reduced to one transaction! As a result, those who sold used athletic equipment on eBay or used Venmo to collect rent will be considered small businesses. Even worse, the tax form doesn\u2019t report what you initially paid for the item in question, so many of the items of \u2018income\u2019 are sold at a loss \u2014 and the 1099-K form comes anyway. This new process is needlessly confusing and will result in double taxation for many Americans, who probably paid tax when purchasing an item and then potentially would be taxed again on its sale.\n\nTo fix the problems Democrats created, I introduced H.R. 190, the Saving Gig Economy Taxpayers Act. This will protect Americans who use online payment platforms, gig economy workers, and small e-commerce sellers from being taken advantage of by the IRS. It will ensure they have continued access to reliable income streams. My legislation will restore the standard of $20,000 in payments and 200 transactions so everyday Americans don\u2019t get hit with unnecessary tax burdens. It is my hope that H.R. 190, which is co-sponsored by every Republican member of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, can be signed into law by the end of this Congress as a down payment on tax reform next year.\n\nTo add insult to injury, the IRS delayed the implementation of the new 1099-K rules at the end of 2022 and again at the end of 2023. To put it simply: This was illegal. It\u2019s the job of the Congress to tell the IRS when a new tax law will go into effect, not the other way around. For better or for worse, the Democrat-led Congress chose 2022 as the year for the new 1099-K threshold. My bill will fix the 1099-K issue, and it will also reassert the proper role of the Congress over unelected bureaucrats.\n\nThe IRS knows that lowering the 1099-K threshold was a grave error. During a Ways and Means hearing, IRS commissioner Danny Werfel admitted that a \u2018change [back to the $20,000 and 200 transactions] in the threshold would be easier to administer and so at my seat at the table, I\u2019d say the IRS would have an easier time of administering it.\u2019 While I agree that the threshold should be changed back, the IRS does not have the authority to ignore Congress. Unfortunately, lowering the threshold to $600 is the rule of law. One might think that the IRS is waiting for Republicans to be in power to raise the threshold back to the original standard of $20,000 and 200 separate transactions.\n\nNow there is a new issue of \u2018backup withholding.\u2019 Due to a glitch in the law the Democrats passed, thousands of app users are having their own money taken from them and given to the IRS. They are then told to go fight to get it back at tax time. The only practical way to end this disaster is to restore the old 1099-K thresholds. This issue became more onerous with the IRS\u2019s notice of deadline on Thanksgiving week. It requires every customer of every 1099-K issuing entity to turn over their Social Security numbers to the apps. This is a clear IRS snooping power grab on millions of Americans and yet more illegal lawmaking from the IRS that Congress needs to fix.\n\nThe Saving Gig Economy Taxpayers Act will stop this tsunami of tax forms from hitting ordinary Americans this January. This 1099-K bad governance hangover from the Democrats should not impede pro-family, pro\u2013Main Street business tax reform next year. We cannot have any distractions that stand in the way of Republicans\u2019 desire to deliver tax reform to the American people.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:07:19Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-wv-delegation-announces-major-disaster-declaration-approval-west", "Miller, WV Delegation Announces Major Disaster Declaration Approval for West Virginia", "2024-12-12", "2024", "2024-12", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

The Strengthening Pathways to Health Professions Act will extend the tax-exempt status provided to awards of the National Health Service Corps program which gives financial relief to health care personnel. Individuals in the health care industry should receive the full amount of the scholarship or grant they receive, and this legislation will help grow and strengthen the medical field,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cThe shortage of healthcare workers in the United States has left millions of patients without access to the care they need while causing undue stress and strain on the current workforce. Without further action, tough working conditions and increased financial barriers will only continue to discourage more people from joining the profession. That\u2019s why I introduced the Strengthening Pathways to Health Professions Act, which would boost the value of federal scholarships and loan repayment funds that support aspiring healthcare professionals and enable us to recruit and retain providers in rural and underserved areas.

The Expanding Support for Living Donors Act would remove financial barriers that prevent many people from donating life-saving organs.\n\n\u201cLiving donors are a blessing to those who have life-threatening diseases and need an organ transplant, but they are also rare given how expensive donating an organ can be. The last thing a donor should have to worry about is whether they can afford this kind of procedure. It\u2019s important that these individuals have access to financial aid along with additional support needed to move forward with the donation process. I joined Congresswoman DelBene in introducing the Expanding Support for Living Donors Act to reauthorize the Living Organ Donation Reimbursement Program and remove the current income restrictions which affect whether a donor is reimbursed. This bill will ensure low-income individuals are appropriately compensated for their life-saving donations and increase the number of donations available to those in need,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cDonors give the gift of life to their fellow Americans, but for too long the system hasn\u2019t been designed to fully support them. This legislation would remove unnecessary financial barriers that have prevented many from donating. As the transplant list continues to grow longer and longer, we must take bold steps to support living donors,\u201d said Congresswoman DelBene.\n\n\u201cThe stakes could not be higher. Twelve people die in the U.S. every day waiting for a kidney. This bipartisan effort to enhance NLDAC is a crucial step toward saving more lives, and we urge lawmakers to act swiftly to pass this critical legislation. Living donors make an extraordinary sacrifice to save lives, and they should never face financial obstacles in the process,\u201d said Kevin Longino, CEO, National Kidney Foundation and a transplant recipient.\n\n\u201cDonating a life-saving organ is one of the greatest possible gifts. The American Society of Nephrology believes that living donation should be a cost-neutral act and commends the introduction of the Expanding Support for Living Donors Act. This bill breaks down barriers to living organ donation by covering out-of-pocket costs incurred during the living donation process for most Americans, enshrining our nation\u2019s commitment to those who give the gift of life. By better supporting living donors, this legislation will improve the lives of people with kidney failure by expanding access to the best-known treatment \u2013 a kidney transplant,\u201d said Deidra Crews, MD, President, American Society of Nephrology.\n\n\u201cThe American Kidney Fund is proud to support the Expanding Support for Living Donors Act, which would increase the number of kidneys available for donation by making living donation more affordable for donors. The kidney transplant waiting list currently has over 90,000 people on it; in 2023, roughly 1 in 4 of those waiting for a kidney were transplanted. This bill could provide renewed hope to those awaiting a lifesaving kidney transplant,\u201d said LaVarne Burton, President and CEO, American Kidney Fund.\n\nThe bill is supported by the following patient advocacy and medical groups: National Kidney Foundation, American Society of Nephrology, American Society of Transplantation, Nonprofit Kidney Care Alliance, American Kidney Fund, Waitlist Zero, Centers for Dialysis Care, Central Florida Kidney Centers, Independent Dialysis Foundation, Northwest Kidney Centers, Puget Sound Kidney Centers, Renal Physicians Association, American Society of Pediatric Nephrology, American Society of Transplant Surgeons, American Association of Kidney Patients, American Liver Foundation, American Nephrology Nurses Association, and Dialysis Patient Citizens.\n\nClick here for bill text.\n\nBackground:\n\nEvery day, 17 Americans die waiting for an organ transplant. There are more than 100,000 people on the transplant waitlist, with more than 66,000 people added last year. A transplant provides a new lease on life, but our current system is insufficient to meet the needs of patients.\n\nWhile the rate of deceased donations has improved in recent years following Congressional action, the rate of living donations has flatlined over the past two decades. This is largely due to the high out-of-pocket costs of donating, which can exceed $10,000.\n\nTravel expenses, child care, and lost wages from missing work are all major costs that donors can incur in the process. The existing federal donor reimbursement program only provides up to $6,000 for donation-related expenses, which is often not enough, and income restrictions disqualify many people from accessing these benefits.\n\nThis bill would: Reauthorize the Living Organ Donation Reimbursement Program through 2035, increase the maximum reimbursement amount to $10,000 (pegged to inflation), double the income eligibility to about $100,000 a year, and make reimbursement eligibility based on the donor\u2019s income instead of the recipient. This mirrors the Honor Our Living Donors (HOLD) Act (H.R. 6020), which was marked up with unanimous approval in the House Energy and Commerce Committee in July 2024.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T22:13:55Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-colleagues-introduce-bipartisan-resolution-honor-us-veterans-2024", "Miller, Colleagues Introduce Bipartisan Resolution to Honor U.S. Veterans on 2024 Veterans Day", "2024-11-09", "2024", "2024-11", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

As you know, on January 26, 2024, after succumbing to political pressure from environmental activists, President Biden announced an indefinite ban on the issuance of export permits to non-free trade agreement (FTA) countries while it conducts a review to consider the climate impacts of U.S. LNG.\n\nCurrent law requires that natural gas exports to countries with which the U.S. has an FTA be approved without delay. For non-FTA countries, the Energy Secretary is required to approve export requests unless they find that those exports \u201cwill not be consistent with the public interest.\u201d The Natural Gas Act thus includes a rebuttable presumption favoring authorization of U.S. LNG exports. In previous Republican and Democratic administrations, the Department of Energy (DOE) has conducted environmental studies and permit reviews simultaneously and has overwhelmingly concluded exports are positive for the U.S. and global economy.\n\nUnfortunately, the DOE has chosen to stop reviewing and issuing non-FTA approvals while conducting its review. This illegal action is similar to the Biden-Harris administration\u2019s previous attempted ban on new onshore and offshore oil and gas production on federal lands, which was blocked by a federal district court.\n\nOn the cover up of the Biden-Harris DOE 2023 LNG studies:\n\nIn court filings for the ongoing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) case between the DOE and Government Accountability and Oversight (GAO), an independent watchdog group, the DOE \u201cidentified 97 potentially responsive documents totaling 4,354 pages\u201d of LNG export studies performed by the National Energy Technology Lab (NETL) between January 1, 2023, and October 31, 2023.\n\nAs GAO pointed out, \u201cthis confession that DOE indeed has copies of such a study on liquefied natural gas exports strongly indicates that the administration has been telling a spectacular non-truth to the public about the basis\u201d of its ongoing review. In any case, there clearly seems to be something to hide, as DOE \u201cemployed motions seeking extensions of time, motions to stay proceedings, motions to tie unrelated cases together causing further delays, and outright refusal to provide even court-ordered answers.\u201d\n\nOn May 1, 2024, you appeared before the House Energy & Commerce Committee and stated that there is no existing study conducted by the Biden-Harris DOE, and that NETL and the Pacific Northwest National Lab (PNNL) are in the process of developing a study. It is now clear that this statement was likely false, as it appears the DOE had performed, or began to perform, a study on LNG exports in 2023.\n\nOn Congress\u2019 expectations on answers from the DOE:\n\nThe lack of transparency from DOE regarding this process is extremely unsettling. Therefore, we request answers to the following questions by November 8, 2024:\n\nWas any analysis conducted by this administration prior to the January 26thannouncement, specifically between January 1, 2023, and October 31, 2023? How was it determined\u2014that is, based on what specific factors and evidence, that an updated study was needed?\n\nHave the DOE leadership and/or anyone in the White House received any reports or results, even if preliminary, of the apparent LNG export study conducted during the first ten months of 2023? Did these reports conclude there is no credible basis to restrict LNG exports? Did the DOE reject those reports because the conclusions did not support restrictions on LNG exports?\n\nYou have stated that the PNNL, which has expertise in renewable energy, will be involved in updating the life-cycle analysis for US LNG exports, as well as the NETL. If NETL has expertise in natural gas, why is PNNL involved in the life-cycle analysis?\n\nDid the DOE choose to involve PNNL in the 2024 study because the findings of the apparent 2023 studies performed by NETL failed to reach the political conclusion, specifically that U.S. LNG was bad for the environment, the economy, and our allies?\n\nDoes the DOE still plan to publish the study in January 2025, as you stated in your May 1, 2024, appearance before the House Energy & Commerce Committee?\n\nWe look forward to your response.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:57:20Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-tours-marshall-healths-community-project-funding-site", "Miller Tours Marshall Health's Community Project Funding Site", "2024-10-24", "2024", "2024-10", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

Always a supporter of health care and osteopathic medicine, Congresswoman Miller has now taken action to make change. WVSOM and the national osteopathic medical community thank her for this service to her constituents and the country,\u201d said West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine\u2019s President James Nemitz.\n\nClick here for the full letter.\n\nOn the role Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine play in clinical research and impact on communities:\n\nWe write to strongly encourage increased representation of and investment in osteopathic medicine across the NIH enterprise.\n\nAs Members of Congress, we believe that Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (COMs) are integral to our nation\u2019s research infrastructure and are well-positioned to play a greater role in NIH clinical research. Fifty-six percent of COMs are located in Health Professional Shortage Areas, and 40 percent of COM graduating students commit to practicing in an underserved area, playing a critical role in serving rural and underserved communities across the country amidst widespread health care workforce shortages.\n\nOn the need to increase funding for Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine and osteopathic medical education:\n\nOsteopathic medical schools have received only 0.1 percent of NIH grants compared to 40 percent for allopathic schools in Fiscal Year 2024. Congress has repeatedly highlighted the need for increased funding for \u2013 and representation from \u2013 the osteopathic medical education (OME) community in committee and conference reports accompanying consolidated appropriations acts from Fiscal Years (FY) 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. Twenty-six members of Congress also sent a letter to the Acting Director addressing this topic in July 2022. Despite encouraging the NIH to increase representation of the osteopathic medical community within its agency, no additional osteopathic physicians have been named to NIH National Advisory Councils despite many nominations.\n\nWe believe NIH is missing significant opportunities to collaborate with COMs and OME to advance research in primary care, address health disparities in rural and underserved communities, strengthen nonpharmacological treatments, and invest in other vital medical areas. Osteopathic medicine continues to be associated solely with complementary and integrative health, despite data demonstrating that osteopathic scientists participate in the full continuum of medical research. We encourage the NIH to expand funding opportunities for COMs to other NIH Institutes and Centers beyond just the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH).\n\nAs Members of Congress, we urge the NIH to prioritize this issue and establish a plan to increase osteopathic research funding and representation across the NIH enterprise.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:57:20Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-kuster-lead-letter-extend-telehealth-flexibilities-opioid-use-disorder", "Miller, Kuster Lead Letter to Extend Telehealth Flexibilities for Opioid Use Disorder Treatment", "2024-10-03", "2024", "2024-10", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

This lifesaving action and its subsequent extension by the Biden-Harris Administration have prompted sweeping changes to addiction care delivered via telehealth. The pandemic telehealth flexibilities increased access to buprenorphine for vulnerable Americans with OUD, improved addiction treatment retention, and reduced overdoses.\n\nThose telehealth flexibilities are now set to expire in December 2024. Worryingly, the Drug Enforcement Administration\u2019s (DEA) forthcoming rule reportedly includes new and onerous in-person visitation and burdensome special registration requirements for telehealth prescribing which will gut access to this life-saving medicine.\n\nOur national public health response to the opioid epidemic has finally paid off: fewer people died from opioid overdoses over the 12-month period ending in April 2024. Now is not the time for the DEA to limit access to a key medical intervention that saves lives and prevents overdoses.\n\nOn the urgency of finalizing a telemedicine rule that does not restrict access to buprenorphine products:\n\nCongress has granted the DEA the authority it needs to maintain the existing telehealth flexibilities for buprenorphine products approved to treat OUD without in-person visitation requirements or a burdensome special registration. The DEA can use one of the \u201cpractice of telemedicine\u201d exceptions under either 21 U.S.C. 802(54)(D) or (G) to extend telehealth flexibilities. Your Administration should use this authority to ensure people with OUD do not lose access to the medication they need.\n\nThere are at least two additional policy considerations that support allowing a more permissive initiation regimen via telehealth for buprenorphine. First, buprenorphine is a partial agonist medication, which makes it safer and less likely to be misused compared to full-opioid agonists. Second, the highly lethal illicit opioid market poses an immediate threat to the lives of Americans struggling with opioid use disorder. These facts should lead you to maximize access to buprenorphine as a tool to prevent overdoses and put people on the road to recovery, not limit access over a misplaced fear of diversion.\n\nWe urge you to ensure the DEA finalizes a telemedicine rule that extends existing telemedicine flexibilities for buprenorphine products approved for OUD without imposing unnecessary barriers to lifesaving treatment.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:57:20Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-colleagues-send-letter-us-department-commerce-revisit-regulations", "Miller, Colleagues Send Letter to U.S. Department of Commerce to Revisit Regulations on Hardwood Imports", "2024-10-01", "2024", "2024-10", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

We are interested in the impact the current anti-circumvention action continues to have on a significant employer in our districts. Northwest Hardwoods (NWH) is primarily a producer of wood products operating 20 facilities in twelve states.\n\nIn 2020, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) initiated an anti-circumvention inquiry into imports of hardwood plywood from Vietnam. As part of that inquiry, DOC stated that \u201c{t}he merchandise subject to these anticircumvention and scope inquiries does not include core veneers fully produced in Vietnam or a third country that are assembled into a veneer core platform in Vietnam and combined with a face and back veneer produced in China.\u201d This announcement was helpful to NWH because the products it imports are out of scope of the inquiry. However, Commerce concluded that these products are physically indistinguishable from the in-scope imports and therefore imposed a certification regime to ascertain whether imports are subject to the scope of the relevant orders. Unfortunately, through no fault of its own, NWH\u2019s imports are currently not eligible for the certification regime. The administrative review, therefore, represents an opportunity for Commerce to revisit its decision about which importers can participate in the certification regime.\n\nOn the importance of revisiting the anti-circumvention inquiry to protect United States companies and the economy:\n\nNWH, like other wood products companies, supports efforts of your department to enforce our trade laws against unfairly subsidized wood products originating from China. In doing business with Vietnamese exporters, NWH made diligent efforts to ensure that such products were sourced and processed in Vietnam. In fact, it retained a third-party auditing firm that provided assurance that all its imported products originated in Vietnam and were consistent with Commerce Department regulations.\n\nThe preliminary decision issued by Commerce on August 8, 2024, allowed several additional Vietnamese exporters to participate in the certification regime because these companies have satisfactorily responded to questionnaires about the source of their export products. The Vietnamese companies that failed to respond remain subject to anti-circumvention duties.\n\nNWH is confident that all the product it imported was of Vietnamese origin, outside the scope of the anti-circumvention inquiry, and has already shared some of that information with Commerce in April 2024. We urge your department to consider such information from NWH and other potentially affected importers as it renders its final decisions. We believe that American companies should not be disadvantaged due to a failure by Vietnamese firms to fully comply with questionnaires, where Commerce has independent record information confirming that a U.S. company\u2019s imports are outside the scope of the relevant orders.\n\nThe significant duties that Commerce previously instructed CBP to levy would cause severe harm to NWH\u2019s U.S operations, potentially causing layoff of many employees as is the strain on its financial resources could force it to idle facilities. As you consider these issues, we urge you to carefully assess impacts upon domestic companies such as NWH and the economic harm rendered to U.S. companies and their employees if they are unfairly harmed in this process.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:57:20Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-colleagues-send-letter-us-international-trade-commission-investigate", "Miller, Colleagues Send Letter to U.S. International Trade Commission to Investigate Effect Foreign Ferrosilicon Has on U.S. Production", "2024-09-30", "2024", "2024-09", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

Without it, unfair foreign trade will continue to injure American workers. Dumped and subsidized imports from Russia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, and Brazil have already harmed workers in several states: the unfair competition has caused plant shutdowns and restrictions in production. In December 2023, CC Metals was forced to lay off workers at its Calvert City facility due to unfair import competition. We must do everything we can to provide American ferrosilicon producers with a fair chance to compete.\n\nU.S. trade enforcement mechanisms are meant to provide American workers with a level playing field to compete in domestic and international markets.

Miller: Raising the corporate tax rate will hurt American business, investment, and consumers\n\n\"For the past three years, politicians, businesses, and families have been grappling with inflation. Pundits across the political spectrum have argued that dramatically raising taxes on American corporations would be a quick fix to this burden on Americans. The Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, has argued that increasing the corporate rate to 28% 'is a fiscally responsible way to put money back in the pockets of working people and ensure billionaires and big corporations pay their fair share.' However, the clear economic truth is the opposite: Raising taxes on corporations will raise prices for consumers\u2014and inflation will spike yet again.\n\nThe Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) that passed under President Donald Trump in 2017 changed the trajectory of tax policy in the United States. Finally, a policy was enacted that lowered taxes for all Americans and made the United States more competitive globally.\n\nBefore the TCJA, America\u2019s corporate tax rate was one of the highest in the world, and American businesses were at a competitive disadvantage in the global market. This hurt companies and workers alike. Lowering the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% gave every American more opportunities to succeed in business because they weren\u2019t as burdened by unnecessary taxes. The results proved out: In 2018, 263,000 manufacturing jobs were created and wages increased by 3%, according to a National Association of Manufacturers analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Many economists have credited the TCJA for America\u2019s continued outperformance relative to most of the world\u2019s advanced economies.\n\nReducing the corporate tax rate was the cornerstone of the TCJA. Today, some in Congress want to raise it in the name of increasing federal revenue. That would be a catastrophic mistake. Raising the corporate rate doesn\u2019t punish companies\u2014it punishes Americans.\n\nMultiple studies show that corporate tax increases are directly passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices. A higher rate will also make American exports more expensive and companies less competitive in the global market. The result will be slower economic growth, fewer jobs, and less innovation.\n\nAs the Ways and Means Committee prepares for the reauthorization of the TCJA, Chairman Jason Smith created 'tax teams' to evaluate which policies worked well and which could use improvement for the 2025 reauthorization. I am the Chairwoman of the Supply Chains Tax Team, which focuses on the corporate rate, energy tax credits, and capital gains tax. We\u2019ve had many meetings with small businesses, Fortune 100 companies, and economists who have all emphasized the importance of maintaining a corporate rate that is pro-growth and pro-American.\n\nA lower corporate tax rate keeps costs down, leading to lower prices for consumers and more investment in their workers. The reality is that if the corporate rate goes up, the burden will fall on consumers, employees, and retirees. As a small business owner, I know firsthand how important it is to take care of your employees and produce the best possible product. If I suddenly must pay more in taxes, I either have to cut back on investments into the business that create more jobs or pass increased costs onto my customers. This would happen to businesses around the country and would slow economic growth in the U.S. to a grinding halt.\n\nAnother key benefit of a low corporate rate is how much more attractive America becomes to investors. When the U.S. corporate tax rate was 35%, it was one of the highest corporate tax ratesamong developed countries. For any startup or subsidiary company, it made more sense to do business in China, India, or even within the famously high-tax European Union. With the lower rate, the U.S. is more inviting for nearly every industry.\n\nWhile some may argue that the federal government is leaving money on the table by maintaining or lowering the corporate rate, the opposite is true. The TCJA grew the American economy to the extent that the significantly lower corporate tax rate was offset by increased tax collections.\n\nThe U.S. government doesn\u2019t have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem. Thanks to the TCJA, the 21% corporate rate has kept business taxes low, which softened the blow from the Democrats\u2019 ill-advised (and utterly misnamed) Inflation Reduction Act. Without the TCJA, inflation would have been much higher. This is why even Democrats refused to hike the rate or repeal the TCJA when they had full control of the House of Representatives, Senate, and White House.\n\nThe solution to inflation isn\u2019t to increase taxes on American business, it\u2019s to get federal spending under control and spur economic growth. Keeping the corporate rate low\u2014or better yet, lowering it, as former President Trump has suggested\u2014gives financial freedom to American consumers and businesses. The one-two punch of lower taxes and a lower debt burden will bring back the strong growth we saw in the first three years of the Trump presidency.\"\n\nThis article originally appeared on Fortune.com\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:43:57Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-colleagues-introduce-bipartisan-resolution-recognizing-national-fall", "Miller, Colleagues Introduce Bipartisan Resolution Recognizing National Fall Prevention Awareness Week", "2024-09-24", "2024", "2024-09", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

The resolution seeks to raise awareness, encourage the prevention of falls among older adults, and highlight evidence-based programs that help reduce fall risks and save the lives of seniors.\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s no secret the U.S. population is aging, and it\u2019s important to ensure there are enough resources and education for seniors as they are more at risk of falling. By designating a National Fall Prevention Awareness Week, we are bringing awareness to this important issue that affects many of our constituents. I\u2019m glad to join my colleagues in sponsoring this resolution to help prevent falls and protect seniors as they age,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cWith over 365,000 seniors in Palm Beach County, this issue is near and dear to my heart. Falls are the leading cause of injury among adults over 65. They can be debilitating, heartbreaking, and expensive, but the good news is they are preventable! This year, we\u2019re marking National Fall Prevention Awareness Week to spread the word that tools and resources are available to help prevent falls before they happen, ensuring our seniors can live with the safety and dignity they deserve,\u201d said Congresswoman Frankel.\n\n\u201cAs our loved ones get older, we must ensure they have the resources and support to age in place safely, independently, and with dignity. Falls can be scary and have serious health consequences for older individuals. It\u2019s critical we do everything we can to promote fall prevention to help save lives and give seniors and their loved ones some well-deserved peace of mind. I\u2019m proud to join my colleagues in support of this resolution, and I look forward to working with them to secure resources and support for older Americans,\u201d said Congressman Morelle.\n\n\u201cAs someone who has experienced a fall that resulted in broken ribs, I am very familiar with the pain that often comes from a fall. The risks associated with falling are especially high for seniors over the age of 65. According to the CDC, 36 million seniors fall each year. Tragically, these falls result in 34,000 deaths and three million serious injuries that require an emergency room visit. The good news is that falls are preventable and do not need to be an inevitable part of aging. I encourage all seniors and their loved ones to learn more about how to stay safe and active by taking advantage of the fall prevention programs offered in their community. Local Area Agency on Aging organizations have wonderful resources that can help save lives,\u201d said Congressman Bilirakis.\n\n\u201cFalls can be serious\u2014and even deadly\u2014for older Americans, and Congress must consider this issue as seriously as we would for any other medical condition. Designating a National Fall Prevention Awareness Week will help bring attention to this critical issue and support programs that protect seniors, reduce falls and save lives,\u201d said Congressman Magaziner.\n\n\u201cThe cost of falls among older adults is staggering: $80 billion/year, and untold suffering and pain. We welcome this Congressional resolution to draw attention to the fact that falls can be prevented. There are proven, cost-effective ways to reduce fall risk. We are grateful to Rep. Frankel for championing this issue and her steadfast leadership throughout the Capitol and across party lines,\u201d said Ramsey Alwin, President and CEO of the National Council on Aging.\n\nThe resolution is supported by the National Council on Aging (NCOA) and AARP.\n\nClick here for bill text.\n\nBackground:\n\nEach year, 14 million older Americans experience falls, resulting in 3 million emergency room visits and 39,000 tragic deaths.\n\nFalls are the leading cause of injury for adults aged 65 and older, with non-fatal falls costing our health care system $80 billion annually.\n\nSeniors can reduce their risk of falling through basic home modifications, daily exercises, and other simple precautions.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:43:57Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-speaks-need-reform-temporary-assistance-needy-families-during-ways-and", "Miller Speaks on the Need to Reform Temporary Assistance for Needy Families During Ways and Means Hearing", "2024-09-24", "2024", "2024-09", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

She asked former professional football player, Brett Favre, to share his concerns about the misuse of these funds spreading throughout the country.\n\n\u201cI was reviewing the Government Accountability Office\u2019s (GAO) statement for the record highlighting the forthcoming report Chairman Smith and Chairman LaHood requested investigating TANF non-assistance spending. One thing that disturbed me was how widespread and repetitive TANF waste, fraud, and abuse is in the country and how weak our accounting systems are to catch and correct it. According to the GAO, 99 of the 155 audit findings have repeated for at least 1 year. West Virginia has had the same internal control deficiency finding reported for 15 years and nothing has been done to correct it. Mr. Favre, do you believe more scandals like the one you found yourself involved in is possible across the country if we don\u2019t act now to reform and bring more transparency and accountability to the TANF program?\u201d asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201c100% absolutely. If it can happen in my state, it can happen in any state. You just spoke on the statistics and it\u2019s kind of frightening to be honest with you what is being wasted,\" responded Brett Favre.\n\nCongresswoman Miller asked Sam Adolphsen, the Policy Director for the Foundation for Government Accountability, about what necessary steps the Federal Government should take to ensure that TANF non-assistance funds are going to the right places.\n\n\u201cTANF is our nation\u2019s primary welfare program, but it\u2019s my understanding that there are no federal guidelines about eligibility and that there are issues with how funding is allocated to states. Based on your testimony, we know that you believe TANF could be better utilized if that were the case. For example, West Virginia has historically had a higher poverty rate compared to the rest of the country. That would mean that my home state would need more funds to address the unique challenges and demographic of my rural community. What can we do at the federal level to make sure TANF money is actually getting to families in poverty and to states with the highest rates of poverty?\u201d asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cOne of the things we could do to stop this from happening is to actually enforce some of the rules we do have. California has been out of compliance for 15 years with their work participation rate. [The Department of Health and Human Services] HHS has said that there\u2019s $1 billion in fines, essentially that they should levy, but they\u2019ve written that down to $60 million. We have these audits, that you mentioned, that the GAO is looking at. The first and easy step is just to act on those basic oversight measures that we can already take. I think just the question of the funding is exactly the right question. How do we make sure there\u2019s money in these programs, right? There are unobligated funds, there are carryover funds, there is a large outlay of funding to the states. We need to make sure it gets targeted down to the folks who need it the most. We need to get into the rural areas of each state with the highest levels of poverty where they need some assistance to help get back on their feet. The way that can be done is by making sure states use most of that funding to meet the core objectives because those are going to target those in poverty directly,\u201d responded Mr. Adolphsen.\n\nCongresswoman Miller proceeded to ask Mr. Adolphsen to identify what other possible factors to consider when deciding who is eligible for TANF funds.\n\n\u201cIs there any criteria other than \u2018poverty rates\u2019 that you believe could be prioritized when determining which families receive TANF funds, so we ensure that the neediest families [are adequately supported]?\u201d asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cIt should be. There should be some income thresholds associated with this support and not just the cash support in the states, but also these other job assistance programs, education attainment. Again, California spends $1 billion a year on tuition for a higher education, for college. That is not directly for the purpose of the program when that has no income threshold on it and you have families well above the poverty line, 6 figures getting those tuition grants they\u2019re working in the system. That has to stop in order to make sure we can target the funds to those who are truly in need,\u201d responded Mr. Adolphsen.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:43:57Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-honors-deputy-district-director-her-25-years-service-house", "Miller Honors Deputy District Director for her 25 Years of Service in the House of Representatives", "2024-09-20", "2024", "2024-09", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

I am very concerned that such an important, strategic ally like the Republic of Korea is pursuing economic policies that target and discriminate against U.S. technology companies while welcoming state-owned Chinese companies with open arms. Chinese firms are the fastest growing tech companies in Korea, with many leveraging strategic partnerships with Korean monopolies who have a strong influence in Korea\u2019s legislature. I am very concerned about the national security implications of Korea\u2019s ill-advised economic discrimination and would urge them not to go down this path, and instead, continue our important technology partnership and the goals established in our free trade agreement. Our trade agreement with Korea is the second largest Free Trade Agreement (FTA) by trade flows, second only to the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). \u200b\u200bIt is extremely concerning to me that our two biggest FTAs are both facing obstacles in the world of digital trade,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller.\n\nCongresswoman Miller asked the President of Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF), Robert D. Atkinson, how China will benefit from the Korean digital policies and how this will affect the United States regarding the economy and national security.\n\n\u201cCan you explain how China wins if Korea pursues economic discrimination policies against the United States and why are Chinese firms seeking to drastically increase their Korean userbase? Do you believe that Korea is assisting them in their growth?\u201d asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cLast time I was there [in Korea], I tried to use google maps to figure out where to go and I couldn\u2019t. I could use a Korean app company and they say it\u2019s national security. It has nothing to do with national security. It's the fact that they wanted to favor their own domestic map companies, their own domestic players. That's what they're doing now by copying the European Digital Markets Act (DMA) and what they want to do is they want to be able to pass a law that would require American companies to turn over data to be interoperable to do other kinds of things that would benefit Korean companies. But they can't write the law so blatantly that it admits that, so it would benefit Korean companies, but it would also benefit Chinese companies. They\u2019re willing to make that trade-off because they think it's going to benefit their companies more, and it'll hurt our companies. This will benefit Chinese companies and make them stronger. I would put Korea again in the same categories as I'd put Canada. They need us a lot more than we need them. They're dependent upon us not just for military, but they're so focused right now on building technology partnerships. They want technology partnerships with us and we're going ahead and saying \u201cyes,\u201d but I think there must be a quid pro quo with that. Yeah, we want technology partnerships with you so we can both be stronger against the Chinese, but we're not going to do partnerships with you if you do these kinds of discriminatory things,\u201d responded Dr. Atkinson.\n\n\u201cWhat are the national security concerns related to U.S. foreign policy in the Indo-Pacific should the U.S. be less economically tied to our strategic ally as they grow closer to China?\u201d asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cSo, the fundamental question I think in, in the Indo-Pacific is, are these countries going to gradually move over into the China orbit or are they going to stay in the Western democratic market orbit? The Koreans don't want to pick. They want to have really close relationship with the Chinese because they know Chinese are predatory and retaliatory. They will hurt the Korean companies. They've done that before, but we need to let them know that they can't have it both ways. They have to pick. We\u2019re their defender. They need to be on the side of the allies and democracy, so I think it\u2019s a critical, critical issue that we make them choose and choose us,\u201d responded Dr. Atkinson.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:43:57Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-colleagues-send-letter-urging-cms-increase-support-living-kidney-donors", "Miller, Colleagues Send Letter Urging CMS Increase Support for Living Kidney Donors", "2024-09-19", "2024", "2024-09", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

It\u2019s extremely personal to me and my constituents because I am from West Virginia and West Virginia has the highest rates of diabetes, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and kidney disease in the country. This is nothing to brag about, but it is something that constantly guides my work and the work of health care providers in my home state,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller.\n\nCongresswoman Miller shared examples of positive outcomes patients have had from food assistance programs when trying to live healthier lifestyles and asked Dr. Mark Hyman from the Institute for Functional Health about how food can help patients manage chronic diseases.\n\n\u201cOne effort that I have been very impressed by is the \u2018Food is Medicine\u2019 program at Marshall Health Network that\u2019s in my hometown of Huntington. The \u2018Food is Medicine\u2019 program screens patients for food insecurity and social needs, provides medically indicated food assistance, and encourages nutritious food utilization. This approach to chronic disease management has been working wonders for patients in our state. There is a medically indicated food box program in a little tiny town of Lavallette, which is led by a community health worker, and it recently showed that all 61 patients participating in the program have gotten their blood pressure under control. Similar food assistance programs provided to dialysis and oncology patients with food insecurity have improved nutrition and outcomes as well. Dr. Hyman, you\u2019ve dedicated your career to the notion that food plays a huge part in managing chronic disease. Can you speak a little bit more on some of the benefits of getting patients on track for healthier living?\u201d asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cI\u2019ve been practicing for 30 years and I would say that food is the most powerful tool in my toolkit as a doctor for a broad range of diseases, obviously diabetes but many other things. For example, dementia which is one of the most costly diseases because of the effect on caregivers and the loss of proactivity is now called Type-3 diabetes of the effective resistance of sugar on the brain. Across the spectrum of chronic disease, not just the ones we are particularly thinking about like heart disease, lyme disease, and hyper-tension, even cancer is primarily driven by sugar and starch in our diet, the main cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and these cancer rates are rising in younger members of our population in 30, 40 year olds. The real driver is our diet. Until we come to terms with the fact that in our country we\u2019re going to not only threaten the health of our nation, we\u2019re challenging our economy at the $4.9 trillion. 40% of that bill is footed by the federal government in one program or another. 30% of our federal budget is completely unsustainable and some of it\u2019s also preventable. If we tackle this intelligently, coherently, and look to cross policies that have to be done across different committees, across different jurisdictions, whether it is medicare reform, whether it is food labeling, package labeling from the FDA, addressing the problems of food marketing for children, or addressing the problem with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or dietary guidelines, or nutrition research funding. There are so many levers to pull as we try to change this tsunami that\u2019s coming at us. It\u2019s almost been this invisible threat because when we graduated medical school this wasn\u2019t a problem,\u201d responded Dr. Hyman.\n\nCongresswoman Miller highlighted her Chronic Kidney Disease Improvement in Research and Treatment Act and asked Dr. Anne Peters from University of Southern California (USC) Schaeffer to explain the advantages of screenings and educating patients on chronic diseases.\n\n\u201cStudies have overwhelmingly showed us that screenings for diabetes, cholesterol, chronic kidney disease, and cancers can be the difference in a [patient\u2019s] health journey. I introduced a bill, called the Chronic Kidney Disease Improvement in Research and Treatment Act, to address these issues just for kidney disease. My bill would expand the Medicare annual wellness benefit to include kidney disease screening for seniors, as many patients do not know they have kidney disease until it is too late. The bill would also increase access to the Medicare kidney disease education benefit so that physicians can help teach patients more about managing their disease and any comorbidities they may have and not know. Dr. Peters, you have done tons of work surrounding preventative care for chronic diseases. Can you speak to the clinical benefits of increasing education and screening so that patients are more informed about their options?\u201d asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\"I think those are incredibly powerful tools because if you don\u2019t know you have a risk, you\u2019re not going to go find out and see if you can do anything about it, but education alone in many areas, particularly with diabetes, isn\u2019t enough. You need to couple that with treatment and treatment should start with lifestyle. I see all of that as part and parcel of the same process, but education is necessary so people realize that they must do something. I think that people go into these weird states of denial. I\u2019m not a psychologist, but they\u2019ll see family members who are blind or on dialysis, but they won\u2019t get tested because they are too afraid to find out if they have the same disease.

I think we wait too late; we are reactive and not proactive in medicine. That's part of why co-founders of the company Function Health allows people access to their own biological data without having to go through insurance or doctors. They can track all these things from kidney function, cardiovascular health, to metabolic health, and diagnostics that are not done at your annual physical. I think early screening detection is important. It\u2019s essential and I think it\u2019s something that needs to be looked at very carefully as something we can motivate our Medicare patients to do as well as our citizens in general to do early screening detection,\u201d responded Dr. Hyman.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:43:57Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-wm-republicans-house-republican-leadership-send-letter-oecd-secretary", "Miller, W&M Republicans, House Republican Leadership Send Letter to OECD Secretary-General on Biden-Harris Admin Global Tax Deal", "2024-09-18", "2024", "2024-09", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

The letter highlights how the OECD is subjecting U.S. employers to a new undertaxed profits rule (UTPR), surrendering U.S. sovereignty and economic competitiveness, forfeiting over $100 billion in tax revenue, and violating Constitutional principles by attempting to coerce Congress to implement a deal that the Administration has no authority to implement.\n\nJoining Congresswoman Miller in sending the letter are House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN), House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO), and all Ways and Means Committee Republicans.\n\n\u201cImplementation of the UTPR and other OECD policies would force the United States to forfeit $120 billion in revenue to foreign governments while offering competitive advantages to China and others,\u201d said House Republican Leadership and Ways and Means Republicans. \u201cUltimately, the Biden-Harris administration lacks the authority to impose any tax deal on Americans without the approval of the U.S. Congress \u2013 doing so would violate the United States Constitution\u2026The United States Constitution expressly grants the taxing power to Congress, not to the President. Specifically, the U.S. Constitution requires that \u2018[a]ll bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives.\u2019 This constitutional structure makes the Committee on Ways and Means, the tax-writing committee in the U.S. House of Representatives, the only entity where changes in U.S. tax law may originate. Thus, the Biden-Harris administration\u2019s unilateral negotiations without consultation with Congress constitutes a major overstep of its authority, with dire consequences for American workers and businesses.\u201d\n\nIn addition to circumventing Congressional authority, the policy puts American workers and businesses at a competitive disadvantage against countries like China who have already indicated a willingness to game the system.\n\n\u201cChina will exploit the OECD global tax deal\u2019s loophole for direct government subsidies, which are a hallmark of Chinese economic activity. Other countries will likely do the same, thwarting the OECD\u2019s stated purpose of ensuring a minimum level of taxation. Ultimately, the UTPR will target U.S. workers and businesses by allowing foreign governments to claw back important U.S. tax incentives (e.g., tax credits for research and development and low-income housing) and attack the operations of American companies in third-party jurisdictions...And even if a country like China were to move forward, there is no assurance that the CCP would play by the rules. For instance, last year it was reported that the Chinese government instructed state-owned companies to phase out their use of the big four accounting firms to address security concerns and Western influence. They were instead instructed to use auditors local to China and Hong Kong, subject to the control of the CCP.\u201d\n\nThe letter expresses support for a lawsuit filed by the American Free Enterprise Chamber of Commerce that challenges the UTPR and makes clear that should the OECD \u2013 in collusion with the Biden-Harris Administration and other countries \u2013 proceed with this aspect of the global minimum tax deal, Congress will be forced to pursue countermeasures to protect U.S. sovereignty and the fair treatment of American workers and businesses.

Gone are the days of pro-energy policies and a president who stood up for this region. Instead, the energy-producing communities that power our nation have seen their lights turned off, savings dwindled, and livelihoods crushed.\n\nUnder Trump, middle-class families saw their incomes increase by nearly $6,000, while wages for low-income and blue-collar workers increased by 16%.\n\nAmerica also witnessed an energy independence revolution, becoming the No. 1 producer of oil and natural gas in the world and a net energy exporter for the first time in 70 years. Many of these gains were thanks to the Trump administration\u2019s pro-growth policies, which brought newfound prosperity to Appalachia and other areas nationwide.\n\nWhen Biden took office, much of our energy independence was lost due to his disastrous socialist economic agenda and Green New Deal policies. And Bidenomics created record inflation that forced people to make tough choices regarding whether to feed their families or fill up their gas tanks.\n\nSimply put, life is unaffordable under this administration.\n\nCombine this frustration with Biden\u2019s rush-to-green policies, and the problems for Appalachia continue to mount. For example, Biden\u2019s indefinite liquefied natural gas export pause has negatively affected our region. EQT, the largest domestic producer of natural gas, has warned that this decision will send a \u201cchilling effect\u201d to our region.\n\nBut Biden\u2019s war on the energy sector does not end there. We have seen coal-fired power plants shutter, job-killing regulations on steel manufacturing, and more than 200 executive actions making it harder to produce energy in places such as Pennsylvania and West Virginia.\n\nClearly, this White House has forgotten the people of Appalachia and their needs.\n\nWe\u2019ve been working in Congress to do the opposite.\n\nEven after being halted by far-left activists for nearly a decade, the Mountain Valley Pipeline was successfully completed this year after our efforts in Congress. This 304-mile pipeline is now in service and will usher Appalachia into a new era. The MVP has and will continue to stimulate the economies of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia with millions in royalties to landowners, including $150 million per year for Pennsylvania and $250 million per year for West Virginia, and direct investments into rural communities. At the height of its construction, the MVP also supported 15,000 good-paying union jobs.\n\nBuilding on this success, we created the Congressional Appalachian Caucus, which promotes policies that will create jobs, strengthen our nation\u2019s energy independence, and generate economic growth for the region. We have introduced bipartisan legislation to incentivize the capture of coal mine methane emissions. This will be used as an energy source and help clean our air. Coal has been a bedrock of Appalachia, and this effort will make sure it stays that way.\n\nAdditionally, recent studies have shown that the Marcellus Shale basin may hold up to 40% of our nation\u2019s domestic need for lithium as a byproduct of fracking. We also know rare earth elements and critical minerals are found in acid mine drainage, mine tailings, and other coal byproducts. These materials are critical to our growing economy, and we should no longer be dependent on China for them.\n\nWill the Biden administration and far-left Democrats hold our prosperity hostage with burdensome regulations? We won\u2019t let that happen. The public can rest assured that our caucus will be at the forefront of holding the Biden administration accountable should it attempt to restrict and limit this incredible opportunity for these communities.\n\nThe region has suffered enough under Biden\u2019s anti-energy agenda \u2014 and we won\u2019t let it continue. The Appalachian Caucus will ensure that the 26 million people who reside in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and other states are no longer forgotten.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:36:13Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-energy-export-caucus-members-send-bipartisan-letter-calling-biden-admin", "Miller, Energy Export Caucus, Members Send Bipartisan Letter Calling for Biden Admin to Approve LNG Export Permits", "2024-08-01", "2024", "2024-08", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

Intentionally stopping American energy production allows our adversaries to step in where we are failing to deliver at home and abroad. When the United States is energy independent, more jobs are created, our national security is protected, and energy costs are lowered. The Biden administration must begin expedited review of existing permits immediately,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cSince his first day in office, President Biden has launched a unilateral assault on American oil and gas, choking the lifeblood of our economy, crushing consumers with high energy costs, and sending oil production overseas \u2014 enriching our adversaries like Russia and China. Thankfully, Biden\u2019s ban on American LNG export permits was blocked. Yet, his administration is still dragging its heels on approving these permits in an attempt to placate the far-Left.

Limiting these exports risks ceding America\u2019s energy advantage to hostile nations and undermining our national security. We thank Congress for their bipartisan efforts to restore American leadership on LNG,\u201d said American Petroleum Institute Vice President of Natural Gas Markets Rob Jennings.\n\n\u201cOur allies are counting on American natural gas to meet their energy needs for decades to come, but the Administration\u2019s moratorium on LNG licenses effectively hung a \u2018closed for business\u2019 sign on new export projects. This is harming investment and job opportunities while driving trading partners to alternative suppliers that are often adversaries, and alternative energy sources with far higher emissions footprints. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce commends and supports House Energy Export Caucus leaders and the dozens of members calling on DOE to immediately resume processing of LNG export terminal applications,\u201d said U.S. Chamber of Commerce Global Energy Institute Vice President Dan Byers.\n\n\"American LNG production is a powerhouse for our national and global economies. By expediting LNG export permit approvals, the Department of Energy can bolster American energy workforce, empower our European allies, and cement U.S. leadership in global energy production. The Energy Workforce & Technology Council commends Congressman Arrington and the bipartisan Energy Export Caucus for advocating swift, actionable measures to keep American energy exporters competitive and ensure a reliable energy supply for our friends and allies during a time of global conflict,\u201d said Energy Workforce & Technology Council President Tim Tarpley.\n\nClick here for the full letter.\n\nBackground:\n\nLNG exports supports energy security in the United States and strengthens our allies\u2019 energy supply.\n\nIn January, the Biden-Harris administration placed a temporary pause on LNG export permits.\n\nIn February, Congresswoman Miller, her fellow co-chairs of the Energy Export Caucus, and other Members of Congress sent a letter to President Biden voicing their concerns on the administration's plan to limit LNG exports.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:36:13Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-colleagues-ask-cms-more-information-oral-only-drugs-coming-esrd-bundle", "Miller, Colleagues Ask CMS For More Information on Oral-Only Drugs Coming into ESRD Bundle", "2024-07-30", "2024", "2024-07", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

ESRD patients now have broad access to phosphate binders under Medicare Part D, but unless action is taken to delay implementation, oral-only therapies like phosphate binders will move into the bundle, impacting patient access to care starting on January 1, 2025.\u201d\n\nOn Concerns About How These Guidelines Could Harm Current ESRD Patients:\n\n\u201cCMS has stated both in recent guidance and preambles to prior rules, and most recently in the Calendar Year 2025 (CY25) ESRD PPS Proposed Rule that the agency plans to replicate the process used for incorporating the calcimimetics when implementing the phosphate binder class in the ESRD PPS. We have concerns about the translatability of the calcimimetics process and the impact that policy will have on quality patient care. Calcimimetics are a smaller class of products used in about 32 percent of patients living with ESRD, and there were only two products available at the time of the bundling of this class of drugs, one of which was administered intravenously. Unlike calcimimetics, phosphate binders must be taken with food, meaning they should not be taken during a dialysis session where consuming food and drink are generally not allowed.\n\n\u201cEvery patient\u2019s treatment plan and response to certain phosphate binders is different, and many patients only respond to one drug or a combination of drugs to achieve their goal serum phosphorus level. The Government Accountability Office\u2019s (GAO) November 2023 report warns that moving these drugs into the bundle would potentially result in a reduced or delayed availability of phosphate binders for patients as the number of oral drug prescriptions dispensed by dialysis facilities is expected to \u201cquadruple.\u201d The report also highlights that staff, including pharmacists, will need to be hired if oral-only phosphate binders move into the bundle, further exacerbating workforce pressure.\n\n\u201cWe are also concerned about the impact of this policy change for the near 50 percent of Medicare ESRD patients now enrolled in Medicare Advantage (MA). By the end of 2022, almost half of the roughly 450,000 Medicare beneficiaries with ESRD enrolled in an MA plan. Unlike Traditional Medicare, MA plan contracts do not account for newly bundled products until they are updated, which can take up to 18 months. In the case of oral-only drugs, where patients are already on these prescribed therapies, the change in coverage from Part D to Part C could cause sudden disruption for patients enrolled in MA plans. With the rapid shift of beneficiaries to MA, we believe it is imperative for policymakers to better understand the impact bundling has on this sizeable segment of the ESRD population.\u201d\n\nClick here to read the full letter.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:24:45Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/millers-supply-chains-tax-team-hosts-roundtable-tours-oil-and-gas-rig", "Miller's Supply Chains Tax Team Hosts Roundtable, Tours Oil and\u00a0Gas Rig", "2024-07-26", "2024", "2024-07", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

The tax team also toured an Ascent Resources oil and natural gas rig. Joining Congresswoman Miller were Representatives Michelle Fischbach (R-MN) and Randy Feenstra (R-IA).\n\n\u201cI had a wonderful time visiting the Ascent Resources oil and natural gas rig in Ohio with my tax team to see and discuss oil and gas extraction. Both Ohio and West Virginia are full of invaluable energy sources, that\u2019s why it\u2019s our goal to rely on our own sources found here in the United States to keep our country energy independent. We must also protect intangible drilling costs and percentage depletion to create more opportunities to drill for oil and gas in the United States which will produce additional jobs, promote investment, and strengthen our national economy,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cI was excited to join my fellow Supply Chains Tax Team members in Ohio. We took a tour to see for ourselves just how complex oil and natural gas production really is. We also had a productive roundtable discussion on the importance of domestic fuel production for our economy and our national security. I am committed to American energy independence. I enjoyed hearing the industry perspective regarding what Congress can do, specifically regarding tax policy, to support our fuel production industries and lower energy costs for consumers,\" said Congresswoman Fischbach.\n\n\u201cFollowing our recent trip to Southwest Virginia, I enjoyed touring an oil rig in Ohio to see the unlimited potential of American energy production. We had a firsthand look at the intricacy of oil extraction and its importance to our economy. American energy production strengthens our economy, supports good jobs, and protects our national security. As a member of the Supply Chains Tax Team, I will continue to work with my colleagues to support homegrown American energy like oil, gas, and Iowa biofuels,\u201d said Congressman Feenstra.\n\n\"The House Ways & Means Supply Chains Tax Team, led by Chairwoman Carol Miller, should be commended for their work to gain first-hand experience on the crucial role American-made energy plays for our country's well-being.

During COVID-19, these hospitals stepped up to ensure patients on ventilator support had the care they need, and they continue to provide care to those that need it most. Providing adequate reimbursement for LTCHs will ensure they have the stability they need to continue serving our most vulnerable populations. I\u2019m glad to introduce the Patient Access to LTCH Care Act to support stability in Medicare reimbursement for LTCHs and ensure patient access to these lifesaving facilities. I look forward to this legislation moving through the House of Representatives quickly to provide hospitals the resources they need to deliver the best care for their patients,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cFor areas of the country like the Third District with numerous critical access hospitals (CAHs), permitting CAHs to discharge patients directly to a long term care hospital is a critical flexibility to effectively care for patients. This legislation would enact this and other necessary reforms. I thank Rep. Miller for her leadership and my other colleagues for their cooperation in championing this effort to modernize LTCH regulations to support health care providers and enhance care for patients,\" said Congressman Smith.\n\n\"Excessive regulations and rising costs have forced many health care providers to close their doors. Some of the most endangered facilities are Long Term Care Hospitals which provide extended ICU-level care to patients facing complex medical issues. These facilities are crucial for our nation\u2019s most vulnerable, especially in rural and underserved communities where emergency care is not easily accessible. Our bill will help LTCHs keep their doors open by ensuring they receive adequate Medicare reimbursements.

The important reforms in this comprehensive legislation would ensure Long Term Care Hospitals (LTCHs) are more accurately reimbursed for the costs of caring for our most critically ill seniors. Specifically, key provisions in the bill include reforming the High Cost Outlier Fixed Loss Amount, expanding LTCH standard rate criteria, increasing reimbursement for the most medically complex patients and allowing Critical Access Hospitals to discharge patients directly to an LTCH. NALTH urges Congress to swiftly consider and pass this important legislation to stabilize the LTCH industry so the needs of the sickest and most vulnerable Americans can continue to be met,\u201c said Dr. Ed Prettyman, President of National Association of Long Term Hospitals.\n\n\u201cThe Coalition of Long-Term Acute Care Hospitals is deeply grateful to Rep. Carol Miller, along with Reps. Adrian Smith, Lloyd Smucker, Beth Van Duyne and John Joyce, for introducing the Patient Access to LTCH Care Act. LTCHs fill a vital role in the health care continuum, providing ICU-level care to those very ill patients who need sustained care. Changes to Medicare payment policies, sicker patients, and higher operating costs have caused many LTCHs to shutter their doors in recent years, leaving patients in those communities without access to this level of care. The Patient Access to LTCH Care Act will allow LTCHs to care for the very sickest patients, will improve access to long-term acute care in rural areas, and will ensure that patients across the country have access to the intensive care they require when they need it,\u201d said Ellen Kugler on behalf of the Coalition of Long-Term Acute-Care Hospitals.\n\nClick here for bill text.\n\nBackground:\n\nThe Patient Access to LTCH Care Act:\n\nCaps the FY25 and FY26 high-cost outlier fixed cost amount to $50,000 and limits any future year-over-year fixed loss amount increases to 110%;\n\nProvides a 5% increase in reimbursement for patients with more than 5 major complications or comorbidities (MCCs) and fewer than 6 complications or comorbidities (CCs), or between 3 and 5 MCCs and 5 or more CCs;\n\nProvides a 10% increase in reimbursement for patients with more than 5 MCCs and more than 5 CCs;\n\nExtends the LTCH PPS rate to patients with severe wounds, DRG 189 (pulmonary edema and respiratory failure), DRG 871 (septicemia or severe sepsis), or COVID-19;\n\nExtends the LTCH PPS rate to the top 20% of DRGs with the highest relative rates; and\n\nAllows for patients to be discharged to an LTCH directly from a Critical Access Hospital (CAH).\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:24:45Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/millers-bills-help-strengthen-child-welfare-system-pass-ways-and-means", "Miller's Bills to Help Strengthen the Child Welfare System Pass the Ways and Means Committee", "2024-07-24", "2024", "2024-07", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

An issue that I am particularly passionate about is care for patients with End Stage Renal Disease. Kidney care does not often see innovation, which I think you are a living example of, which is an extremely pressing issue for us. We\u2019ve also got to consider the very basic challenges rural patients face when they\u2019re trying to access lifesaving dialysis services. Many ESRD patients in my district have to travel for hours to a dialysis center to receive the care they need, dialyze for two to three hours, then drive back home those hours and they must do this three times a week just to survive. This burden on some of our most vulnerable patients is unbearable. Thankfully, the technology exists for patients to receive home dialysis. Home dialysis can be a God send for rural patients, people with jobs, families, or without access to transportation. I have worked very hard in Congress to increase access to home dialysis for ESRD patients,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller.\n\nCongresswoman Miller asked Kasey DeLynn Shakespear, a parent of a rare disease patient and rural health champion, about his experience with providing medical care for his son, Isaac.\n\n\u201cMr. Shakespear, I\u2019m a mother, I\u2019m a grandmother, and I was so touched by your testimony about your son. [Our] hearts ache just trying to understand all you have been through and how any parent would go to the ends of the earth to save their baby. Unfortunately, for parents like us that live in rural areas, as you have pointed out, there are patients that don\u2019t get care. Can you walk us through what it was like finding care for Isaac? Was it a pediatric nephrologist or a dialysis clinic or was it a social worker [that helped you] navigate the health care [system]?\u201d asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cOne of the challenges has been that Isaac has received care across many different organizations and unfortunately care coordination across different organizations is very challenging. Throughout the process in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), he was cared for by a wide variety of specialists, but each condition that he came across usually required a different specialist. Most of the burden for coordinating that care was falling on my wife and I. Throughout the process in every hospitalization, we have had to be advocates for our own child and understand the treatments that he was going through and ask questions and be able to explain in clinical terms to the next provider,\u201d responded Mr. Shakespear.\n\nCongresswoman Miller ended her questions by asking Frank Watanabe, the President and CEO of Arcutis Biotherapeutics, how President Trump\u2019s 21% corporate tax rate could be an advantage to medical companies and innovation in the United States.\n\n\u201cMr. Watanabe, Chairman Smith recently created ten tax teams [made up of Members of this committee] because you all know about the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. [These teams] are focused on [the 2025 tax cliff and addressing many issues within the tax code.] I am heading [the Supply Chains Tax Team] and what I\u2019m hearing about the most is the corporate tax rate because of President Trump\u2019s work [in 2017]. We tried to create a favorable environment for companies engaged in R&D and it\u2019s disturbing to me that our medical supply chain is heavily reliant on foreign manufacturers. Could you explain to me the benefits of a 21% corporate tax rate and how that helps [medical companies looking to engage in domestic manufacturing?] asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201c[Most] of the smaller companies are not actually profitable, so we don\u2019t pay taxes at the moment, although we hope to at some time in the very near future. It's also important to understand that small biotechs exist inside of a much larger ecosystem. For example, the importance of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) to finish development and to bring the therapies to patients. So, I think that any change that fosters the health of the overall biotechnology sector in America, like the corporate tax code, will have a very positive effect on the research and development (R&D),\u201d responded Mr. Watanabe.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:24:45Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/millers-supply-chains-tax-team-hosts-roundtable-tours-cnxs-mine-methane", "Miller's Supply Chains Tax Team Hosts Roundtable, Tours CNX's Mine Methane Capture Facility", "2024-07-12", "2024", "2024-07", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

Joining Congresswoman Miller were Representatives Mike Kelly (R-PA), Randy Feenstra (R-IA), and Morgan Griffith (R-VA).\n\n\u201cOur Supply Chains Tax Team is focused on ensuring energy tax credits are being utilized in the United States. Energy production has been the bedrock of Appalachia for generations, and I'm making sure it stays that way. Expanding the Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage tax credit is an important first step to secure our economic and energy success. If we can take mine methane emissions and turn them into an energy source, the United States will remain dominant on the global stage,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cOur latest Tax Teams visit highlights the need for energy policy that can once again make America a global energy leader while also demonstrating the important role America can lead in the global energy supply chain. I want to thank Rep. Miller and my colleagues for an insightful tour on Thursday,\" said Congressman Kelly, Chairman of the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Tax.\n\n\u201cI appreciate Congresswoman Miller for arranging an informative visit with American energy producers. Our Supply Chains Tax Team is working on legislative solutions that support domestic energy production and make our country energy independent again. As we work to reauthorize and improve the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, we must ensure that we support American energy production \u2013 including homegrown Iowa biofuels \u2013 to lower costs for our families and reduce our reliance on foreign oil and gas,\u201d said Congressman Feenstra.\n\n\u201cSouthwest Virginia provides numerous opportunities for American coal and natural gas production.

That fact speaks directly to the need to incentivize this behavior so that such investments can accelerate across Appalachia and beyond. Capturing waste methane and utilizing it for our energy needs is a win-win. We can clean up the environment and at the same time create good jobs in communities that need it the most while increasing our energy security.

Specifically, Congresswoman Miller\u2019s Supply Chains Tax Team focuses on energy tax credits, the corporate rate, and capital gains tax.\n\nCongresswoman Miller introduced the Methane Capture and Economic Growth Act, a bipartisan bill which will encourage the capture of fugitive mine methane through the 45Q tax credit. While other carbon emissions are already covered under 45Q, mine methane is not yet, even though it\u2019s more damaging to the environment and has the highest potential to generate a new source of energy.\n\nThis legislation will also bring new investments in mine methane capture.

The bill would allow seniors on Medicare to receive at-home emergency medical services to treat minor medical incidents.\n\n\u201cEmergency Medical Services (EMS) providers are at the frontline of delivering care and transportation in rural America. In West Virginia, many patients live hours from a hospital and must consistently rely on EMS for treatment. Our EMS personnel are equipped to provide care to patients that may not be in a dire medical situation, rather than spend precious time and resources on transporting non-emergency patients to a hospital emergency department. This commonsense legislation builds upon the Treatment-in-Place Model to provide timely care to our rural patients and empower EMS providers, and I will continue to work to improve access to quality health care for patients in West Virginia and across the U.S.,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cNot every patient is best served by an emergency room visit. In fact, for many seniors, a trip to the hospital can mean long wait times, increased costs and potentially life-threatening complications. We\u2019re proud to lead this bill to give our seniors access to the highest caliber of care,\u201d said Congressman Carey.\n\nThe bill has received support from the National Rural Health Association, International Association of Fire Chiefs, International Association of Firefighters, American Ambulance Association, Congressional Fire Service Institute, National Association of Towns and Townships and the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians.\n\n\"We greatly appreciate the leadership of Representatives Mike Carey, Lloyd Doggett, Carol Miller, Debbie Dingell and Pat Ryan in laying the foundation for future Medicare reimbursement of vital ambulance services provided at the scene of a patient in need of medical care but doesn't require a transport to a health care facility. The Improving Access to Emergency Ambulance Services Act will establish a pilot project that will demonstrate the financial and medical benefits to the Medicare program of reimbursing for treatment in place of patients by paramedics and emergency medical technicians,\" said Randy Strozyk, President of the American Ambulance Association.\n\n\"EMS is an integral part of our nation\u2019s healthcare system and has been proven effective in the health continuum. EMS Practitioners are now providing medical care in a variety of settings. Our role has become much broader than ambulance transport. NAEMT has long advocated for providing EMS agencies the flexibility to navigate patients to the right care in the right setting through federal and state reimbursement of Treatment in Place (TIP). We applaud Rep. Mike Carey, Rep. Lloyd Doggett, Rep. Carol Miller, Rep. Pat Ryan and Rep. Debbie Dingell for their leadership and introduction of the Improving Access to Emergency Medical Services Act of 2024. Reimbursing EMS agencies for TIP will save Medicare billions of dollars on unnecessary emergency department visits, enhance patient experience, shorten task times for EMS agencies struggling with workforce shortages, help decompress overcrowded hospitals and emergency departments, and meet patients\u2019 needs without long waits at the hospital,\u201d said Susan Bailey, MSEM, NRP, President of NAEMT.\n\n\u201cEMS is a fundamental, core service that fire departments provide in their communities. Fire fighters are among the most skilled and experienced pre-hospital emergency care providers in the nation, and it is long past time that we reimburse them for the full range of care that they give to ill and injured patients. Updating Medicare\u2019s reimbursement policies is a common-sense way to drive EMS innovation and improve the patients\u2019 experiences during medical emergencies. The IAFF applauds Reps. Carey, Doggett, Miller, Ryan, and Dingell for their bipartisan leadership in developing this bill, and we urge Congress to answer our call to bring EMS into the 21st century,\u201d said IAFF General President Edward A. Kelly.\n\nClick here for bill text.\n\nBackground:\n\nTreatment-in-place options for emergency medical services reduces costs, increases convenience, and protects seniors from potentially life-threatening infections.\n\nAdults aged 65 and older account for nearly 20 percent of all ER visits. This population contributes to the backlog in waiting rooms, even when they might not have an issue requiring inpatient treatment.\n\nIn a 2021 study, patients who received at-home care had a lower risk for readmission by 26 percent and a lower risk for long-term care admission as compared to patients who received in-hospital treatment.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:24:45Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-delbene-applaud-cms-extending-home-dialysis-coverage-aki-patients", "Miller, DelBene Applaud CMS for Extending Home Dialysis Coverage to AKI Patients", "2024-07-10", "2024", "2024-07", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

In October 2023, Congresswoman Miller and Congresswoman DelBene led a letter to CMS asking for coverage of home dialysis services for Medicare patients with Acute Kidney Injury (AKI).

I, along with Congresswoman DelBene, sent a letter to CMS to advocate for access to at home dialysis treatments, for patients with acute kidney injury, and I am thrilled that CMS listened. Patients with AKI often require dialysis even after they are stable enough to leave the hospital, and this policy will give those patients the freedom and flexibility to dialyze and regain kidney function at home. We appreciate CMS taking active steps to grant more coverage to those who need it most,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cWe can make a difference for the 37 million Americans living with kidney diseases by advancing policies that improve their lives and health outcomes. This includes expanding access to home dialysis so patients aren\u2019t forced to go to a center for hours a day to receive this life-sustaining care. Empowering patients with in-home treatments leads to better health outcomes and dramatic improvements in quality of life. It\u2019s clear the U.S. is way behind our allies in providing this care option. I\u2019m pleased that CMS has followed our call and is proposing to cover this option for the thousands of Medicare patients with acute kidney injury and urge them to quickly finalize this rule.

Many clinics report that they are not able to match the current $100,000 maximum grant but would find it much more challenging to scale donations to receive a larger grant.\n\nThis legislation would solve that problem by giving the Secretary of the Treasury the authority to lower the matching funds requirement (but not below 25 percent) where doing so would improve access to taxpayer services.\n\nThese two provisions are included as a Top 10 Legislative Recommendation for 2024 by the Taxpayer Advocate Service, an independent organization within the IRS dedicated to ensuring every taxpayer is treated fairly.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:24:45Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-highlights-challenges-value-based-care-models-rural-health-care", "Miller Highlights Challenges of Value-Based Care Models for Rural Health Care Providers in Ways and Means Subcommittee Hearing", "2024-06-27", "2024", "2024-06", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

She was schooled there and [received medical training at Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine] and practiced [medicine] in West Virginia for such a long time. She\u2019s been a tireless advocate for the people in West Virginia and has [served as the Medical Director] for West Virginia\u2019s Public Employees Insurance Agency (PEIA). She served as the Chief Medical Officer at the state\u2019s second largest Federally Qualified Health Center. In that role she oversaw clinics across the central part of the state that is so mountainous,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller.\n\nCongresswoman Miller asked Dr. Chouinard to explain why rural providers partake less in Medicare\u2019s value-based payment systems compared to non-rural providers.\n\n\u201cI have worked endlessly on rural health care because it can take you five hours to get to the hospital if that\u2019s where your physician is. I\u2019ve dedicated my time on the Health Subcommittee to help rural West Virginians and rural patients all over the country. People who live in urban areas don\u2019t really comprehend the difference. Unfortunately, with Medicare\u2019s value-based care models, we have seen multiple instances of rural providers being left behind and unable to participate. According to a 2021 report from the Government Accountability Office, rural providers participate in value-based care programs at lower rates than non-rural providers. Dr. Chouinard, in your opinion, what are some of the primary factors preventing our rural physicians from participating in value-based payment systems?\u201d asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cAdministrative burden comes to the top of the pile. When you\u2019re in small practices it becomes very difficult to dedicate a team to be able to understand what the opportunity is, and then the tracking that goes along with it, the reporting that has to go along with it. At Main Street, what we\u2019re trying to do is take some of that burden off so that rural clinicians have a better glide path to participate. Primary Care Associations are another great stopping place for people to find information and really be able to figure out how to participate. I think on top of that, we\u2019re just so busy, the demand for care is so high that in order to make that change, there are a lot of technology tools that we need to use. One of my fears is that we lose rural clinicians because it\u2019s just too darn hard. If we can support them in those ways, I think that\u2019s really the most important thing we can be thinking about right now,\u201d responded Dr. Chouinard.\n\nCongresswoman Miller explained how some value-based care models like the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation\u2019s (CMMI) Emergency Triage, Treat, and Transport (ET3) model do not adequately consider rural realities when creating participation guidelines. Congresswoman Miller then asked Dr. Chouinard how CMMI can improve their models so that rural providers can participate.\n\n\u200b\u200b\"One particular example of a value-based care model that failed to adequately consider rural providers was the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation\u2019s (CMMI) Emergency Triage, Treat, and Transport or \u2018ET3\u2019 model. The ET3 model was launched as a voluntary, five-year payment model to provide greater flexibility for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) providers following a 911 call. [EMS] providers, including those in the state of West Virginia, were thrilled about the chance to treat certain conditions at the scene of a 911 call or transport patients to alternative sites of care, outside of the typical emergency room transport. Many rural providers were discouraged, however, to learn that CMMI did not adequately consider that not all rural communities have an alternate site of care within their model regions, which made them unable to participate in the model.\n\nI, along with the rest of the West Virginia delegation, sent a letter to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator last year highlighting these issues and asking for the agency to consider allowing West Virginia to advance a statewide demonstration of a treat in place model since the state was not able to participate in the ET3 model. Not only did CMS deny the state\u2019s request, but it also decided to end the ET3 model two years early rather than remedy the issues that prevented EMS providers from participating in the first place.\n\nDr. Chouinard, in your opinion, how can CMMI do a better job of integrating small, rural, and independent providers into models? What factors of rural care delivery does CMS not seem to adequately consider when creating these models?\u201d asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cOne of the things I think is problematic are volume thresholds. In the example that you gave, you had to have \u2018X\u2019 numbers of transports in order to participate. The only county in West Virginia who met that threshold was Kanawha County. Having served in a rural emergency room, lots of patients come in who did not need to be in the emergency room. But again by law, there was really no choice. The other thing that contributes to a model like that is social isolation and loneliness. Lots of patients who are anxious and lonely end up calling EMS as a result, thinking they have a heart attack and get transferred. Thinking about programs that would engage rural seniors to be able to have rural seniors have extra support, we mentioned these phone calls in between visits, checking on patients making sure we\u2019re getting ahead of things in the vein of prevention, ensuring that if a congestive heart failure patient has swollen ankles or they\u2019re short of breath that we\u2019re getting ahead of that and bringing them into the office. Your suggestion that we think about the unique scenarios, problems, the geographic distance, and just the volume of people in rural communities should be a thrust of design principles in future models,\u201d responded Dr. Chouinard.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:11:47Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-participates-ways-and-means-committee-hearing-strengthening-child", "Miller Participates in Ways and Means Committee Hearing on Strengthening Child Welfare", "2024-06-26", "2024", "2024-06", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

Many children entering the child welfare system have urgent, material needs that can be addressed without direct government intervention. In West Virginia, 53% of our foster children are cared for by relatives, often older grandparents who are retired. They struggle to afford unexpected expenses, things like car seats or formula. Given the rural nature of our state, accessing these much-needed resources can be very challenging. I introduced H.R. 476, the \u2018Helping HANDS for Families Act,\u2019 with Representative Judy Chu, as she mentioned earlier, [to allow Title IV-B funds] to be used for electronic services and tools that connect families to essential support services online,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller.\n\nCongresswoman Miller questioned Rob Geen, the Chair of Board of Trustees of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption and Bipartisan Policy Center Fellow, on how Title IV-B services are offered to rural families.\n\n\u201cMr. Geen, do you believe that providing more flexibility in how Title IV-B services are delivered could better serve families, particularly in rural areas like West Virginia?\u201d asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cThere\u2019s no doubt in my mind that the type of coordination and navigation you\u2019re talking about is essential for the birth parents, essential for the kinship caregivers. My understanding or my read of Title IV-B would say that it is already something that is allowable. Clarifying that with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) might be a first step,\u201d responded Mr. Geen.\n\nCongresswoman Miller discussed the purpose and benefits of both the Court Improvement Program (CIP) and the Court Improvement Program Enhancement Act regarding child welfare cases.\n\n\"Another policy that I have worked on with my colleagues would be providing additional flexibilities within the Court Improvement Program. The Court Improvement Program helps courts conduct hearings on child abuse and neglect in a timely matter, and provides training to judges with trauma-informed care. This will ensure that children who enter these courts have the support they so desperately need. Along with Representatives Blake Moore and Judy Chu, I introduced the Court Improvement Program Enhancement Act which will allow CIP funds to be used towards improving technology support for remote hearings, and allow state courts to use CIP funds [for remote training for judges, attorneys, and other legal personnel] to improve parent, family, and youth engagement in their child welfare proceedings,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller.\n\nCongresswoman Miller questioned Mr. Geen on the impact of fully preparing individuals for child welfare proceedings and the benefits of remote hearing flexibility.\n\n\u201cMr. Geen, can you speak to the importance of ensuring that everyone involved in a child welfare proceeding is appropriately trained, and how more remote hearing flexibilities would actually allow for better overall outcomes [for children in a courtroom setting]?\u201d asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cI think that the child welfare system as a whole learned a lot during COVID. Many courts experimented with remote hearings. My reading of the experience is that it was mixed. They definitely appreciated the opportunity, and it is a vital component moving forward, but it\u2019s not a catch all, it\u2019s not a silver bullet. Just because we have a remote hearing doesn\u2019t make it a high-quality hearing. We need to keep a close eye on what those hearings look like and make sure that everyone involved is trained to use the technology in a way that we\u2019re treating families fairly, but as an option, absolutely,\u201d responded Mr. Geen.\n\nCongresswoman Miller thanked Lived-Experience Advocate and CEO of 11:11 Media, Paris Hilton, for her advocacy on behalf of youth in foster care. Congresswoman Miller also asked Mrs. Hilton about ways to help teens who struggle with mental health and substance abuse.\n\n\u201cFirst and foremost, thank you for using your platform and personal story to bring attention to the troubling experiences that so many youths are facing in our foster and residential treatment homes. It is absolutely critical that we keep the wellbeing of children at the forefront of all these discussions, and you have been tireless in turning your personal trauma into advocacy on behalf of troubled youth, so thank you. We hear a lot about the increase in mental health disorders in youth, including disorders like ADHD, depression, anxiety, and suicide. In my home state of West Virginia, we also struggle with high rates of substance use disorder among children and have been fighting the opioid epidemic for years. Far too many young people are struggling with their mental health and are unable to get the support they need. How do you think we can improve the support we give teens and youth to help them cope, and to have a healthy transition into adulthood, especially when you\u2019re talking about foster youth who have already had so much trauma?\u201d asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cThank you so much. I am grateful that we are having this discussion to figure out what the kids need. I think that the first step is asking the youth. We should prioritize Lived Experience voices to ensure that we truly understand what could help them and then figure out how to do that. I believe youth need access to mental health in their communities, mentorship, and community. We do have a mental health crisis for our kids, and it scares me for my own children. I\u2019m confident that we can bolster support for children and their parents in the community and will prevent trauma by removing children and placing them in facilities, as no child should spend their childhood in a facility,\u201d responded Mrs. Hilton.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:11:47Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-speaks-us-coast-guard-change-command-ceremony-and-tours-marshall", "Miller Speaks at U.S. Coast Guard Change of Command Ceremony and Tours Marshall University's Physical Therapy Building", "2024-06-21", "2024", "2024-06", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

In West Virginia, we are blessed with the beautiful Appalachian Mountains, gorgeous forests, and plentiful water, but these things can pose challenges to those who need medical assistance. They can also lead to even higher costs for care. Despite what the government or the medical giants may tell you, there cannot be a one-size-fits-all health care solution. For example, West Virginia and New York City have drastically different needs, and I\u2019m working in Congress to advocate on behalf of our rural health care patients and providers.\n\nAs a member of the Ways and Means Health Subcommittee, I often advocate for access to quality health care in rural areas. It\u2019s clear to me that when rural health systems are overflowing, the rest of the health care system can become overwhelmed. To ensure the health care system remains helpful to patients, it is important to have enough staff to meet their needs. Due to a lack of resources, rural hospitals have more difficulty training nurses and doctors. That\u2019s why it is critical that the government makes investments into the health care workforce. I introduced the Community Training, Education, and Access for Medical Students (TEAMS) Act to give medical students the ability to receive training in rural areas. This will enable them to better understand the challenges that may arise while serving in rural communities and provide them with opportunities to practice medicine alongside the rural workforce. The Community TEAMS Act will help remedy the workforce shortage, so that many rural hospitals are facing. By training medical students in underserved areas of our country, we are laying the foundation for better health care in the U.S.\n\nThere are many heartwarming benefits to living in rural areas, but the lack of access to quality health care in the most rural of areas continues to be a challenge. In West Virginia, It can take hours to get to the nearest hospital. In a medical emergency, every minute counts. Due to the terrain of West Virginia, many of our hospitals qualify as Critical Access Hospitals. This means these hospitals are at least 35-miles from a health care provider and have 25 beds or less in their hospital. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid created the 'mountainous terrain exception' which allows hospitals in rugged areas to qualify as a Critical Access Hospital with only a 15-mile radius from another provider.\n\nThe 'mountainous terrain exception' is critical in West Virginia, as we have the most mountainous Critical Access Hospitals in the country. Unfortunately, when the 'mountainous terrain exception' was created, ambulance services were not included. This means that even though these mountainous Critical Access Hospitals qualify for the designation with a 15-mile radius, their ambulance services must still meet the standard 35-mile radius requirement. This is devastating for rural areas, like West Virginia, where in areas with no other ambulance provider, the ability for Critical Access Hospitals to provide ambulance services is absolutely lifesaving. The difference between 20 minutes and 2 hours is what saves lives.\n\nI introduced a bill that fixes this issue by allowing Critical Access Hospitals in mountainous areas to receive fair compensation for their ambulance services. The Preserving Emergency Access in Key Sites Act is life-saving legislation that will ensure Critical Access Hospitals in mountainous areas are compensated fairly for the ambulance services they provide to patients and positively impact rural communities across the nation. For a hospital to be able to receive these payments, they must be both a mountainous Critical Access Hospital and have no other ambulance providers within a 15-mile radius of their facility. It\u2019s imperative that all patients, especially those of us who live in unforgiving terrain, can access emergency medical care.\n\nIn Congress, we see a lot of politicians talking about a problem that needs fixing, instead of actually taking steps to find a solution. The Community TEAMS Act and the PEAKS Act provide support to rural hospitals and ensure patients can access quality care. If these bills are signed into law, rural hospitals in West Virginia and across the country will receive the resources they need to succeed. These bills also aim to bridge the gap in healthcare disparities between urban and rural areas, ensuring that every American, regardless of their location, has access to lifesaving medical care. By addressing the unique challenges faced by rural health care facilities, we can strengthen the overall health care system and foster healthier communities.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:11:47Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/millers-statement-mountain-valley-pipeline-beginning-operations", "Miller's Statement on the Mountain Valley Pipeline Beginning Operations", "2024-06-14", "2024", "2024-06", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

I can\u2019t really comprehend it. Ms. Dror, you seem like a very strong young woman.

Did you have any help from the university planning ahead of where you are going to go with your life in your senior year? Did you have any of that kind of support?\u201d asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cI just graduated and had a pretty busy year trying to deal with the hatred on my campus. I have sent multiple emails to my university, calling out the hate, asking for help, asking them to do something. I\u2019ve been met with generic email responses saying, \u2018Please see the office with help, care, love, and hugs,\u2019 and that absolutely will not do it for me. I\u2019ve also turned to career services for help. I remember particularly in one meeting, I was working with a staff member, when she told me, \u2018By the way, I just want you to know, people might not hire you because of your political involvement.\u2019 My political involvement is standing against Jews feeling afraid to walk on their campus. If people aren\u2019t hiring me, we have a much, much bigger problem. That\u2019s bigotry,\u201d responded Ms. Dror.\n\nCongresswoman Miller continued her questioning by asking the Honorable Kenneth L. Marcus, Founder & Chairman of Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law about his thoughts on Institutional Neutrality across colleges and universities.\n\n\u201cMr. Marcus, in spite of instances of physical violence against Jewish students, universities have still held to inaction. They\u2019re hiding behind \u2018free speech\u2019 as the reasoning for their silence. Violence is not free speech. Many colleges and universities have adopted a policy of what is called \u2018Institutional Neutrality,\u2019 which means that the institution won\u2019t take a public position on social or political issues unless it threatens the very mission of that school and its values. Since its creation, Institutional Neutrality has since been adopted by a number of schools across the country. What do you think of this policy of Institutional Neutrality?\u201d asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cWhen the principle of Institutional Neutrality first became popular, I thought it was a fine idea because too many institutions are taking the wrong sides of issues and impairing the environment on their campus by doing so. On the other hand, I noticed that there are many institutions that are now adopting that principle only when they've been asked to condemn terrorist attacks against the Jewish people. Then all of a sudden, they say, \u2018Oh, well maybe we don\u2019t want to have to take a stand. Maybe if we adopt this principle, we will have some sort of cover, some sort of excuse for why we don\u2019t do it.\u2019 I would say that in those instances, it\u2019s not really about neutrality. It\u2019s about cowardice and should be called out as such,\u201d responded Mr. Marcus.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:11:47Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-participates-ways-and-means-trade-subcommittee-hearing-renewing-trade", "Miller Participates in Ways and Means Trade Subcommittee Hearing on Renewing Trade Programs for Sub-Saharan Africa, Haiti", "2024-06-12", "2024", "2024-06", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

Under AGOA, U.S. imports of apparel rose from $696 million in 2000 to $1.4 billion in 2021. In Haiti, apparel industry exports account for nearly 90% of total exports. Importantly, Haitians have shown resilience despite the unrest in their country and are still showing up to work. Mr. Richmond, as an employer of 5,000 workers in a developing country, how have you witnessed the apparel industry lift citizens out of poverty, and what more can Congress do to help the growth of this industry?\u201d asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cWe've witnessed great things, and that's exactly why we started our business. We recognize the power for good that the apparel industry has. [Most of] everyone we hire has no previous experience. There's no educational requirement, most of them have never had a formal job. We hire them, and they make a wage that they can live on. We have countless stories of women who joined us at one level and then have been promoted to supervisory or management positions and now are paying for their siblings or others to go to school,\" responded Mr. Richmond.\n\nCongresswoman Miller proceeded to ask Mr. Richmond about program certainty.\n\n\u201cDo companies like yours need a strong sense of certainty of the American preference programs in order to commit to your investments in these regions?\u201d asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cAbsolutely. We do and so do so many others who are looking to grow. There are so many new brands. Everyone\u2019s looking to source from Africa, but there aren\u2019t enough qualified suppliers like ourselves. There needs to be more in order to incentivize the brands to place business there,\u201d responded Mr. Richmond.\n\nCongresswoman Miller continued by asking the Senior Vice President of Center for Strategic and International Studies, and Schreyer Chair of Global Analysis, Daniel Runde, about how critical minerals in AGOA could benefit both American producers and consumers.\n\n\u201cAnother area of particular concern for me is our reliance on China and Russia for our critical minerals. I have introduced several pieces of legislation, including the End Chinese Dominance of Electric Vehicles in America Act, to close these loopholes and counteract the leg up our adversaries have in this sector. Mr. Runde, I appreciated hearing from you that Africa houses substantial critical mineral deposits. How could inclusion of critical minerals in AGOA benefit American producers and consumers?\u201d asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cIf we\u2019re going to have a carbon transition, we better love mining to the tips of our toes. I was at Agency for International Development (AID) for a long time, and I like AID a lot. I was in the international development business, and I worked at the World Bank Group. But asking my friends in the international development community to work on mining projects, they would rather get a root canal than work on mining projects. We need to spend a lot more foreign aid on minerals and mining. We need to make sure it\u2019s clean, that there\u2019s fair money, that people are getting a fair share of the resources and that the people are treated well, labor wise,\u201d responded Mr. Runde.\n\nCongresswoman Miller ended her questioning by asking Mr. Runde about the threat of Chinese trade agreements in South America.\n\n\u201cI want to ask you about the [threat of] Chinese trade agreements in South America and what an individual preference program for a country like Ecuador could mean for competing in the region and the possibility of a full Free Trade Agreement?\u201d asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cWe absolutely should have a free trade agreement with Ecuador. I think the Innovation and Development in Ecuador (IDEA Act) is ok, but I think China has a free trade agreement. It\u2019s a lost opportunity for us. I\u2019m in agreement that we should have a free trade agreement with Ecuador as soon as possible. They have a pro-American president. There\u2019s going to be an election in Ecuador soon. They\u2019ve been knocking on our door for a while. We ought to show up for our friends,\u201d responded Mr. Runde.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:11:47Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressional-coal-caucus-co-chairs-statement-bicameral-resolution-block", "Congressional Coal Caucus Co-Chairs' Statement on the Bicameral Resolution to Block Biden's Plan to Close American Power Plants", "2024-06-06", "2024", "2024-06", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

Sometimes it can take from an hour to almost five hours to get to your doctor or to your hospital because our terrain is very challenging. It\u2019s critical that our local, rural, physician practices exist so that they aren\u2019t always burdened with a far drive and expensive visits to a hospital for something very minor. Today\u2019s economic environment with inflation through the roof, thanks to the reckless spending that continues to go on with this Administration, many independent physician practices simply cannot afford to keep their doors open. Frankly, the federal government doesn\u2019t reimburse well enough to make [staying open] feasible for you to do it at all. This is a huge issue for physicians as well as patients,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller.\n\nCongresswoman Miller asked Dr. Jennifer Gholson, a Family Practitioner, to describe the differences between physician-patient relationships in rural areas and physician-patient relationships in large health systems.\n\n\u201cDr. Gholson, I was really disheartened to hear about your struggles you and your practice have endured because of bad federal policy. I know firsthand how devastating it is for rural communities to lose their local doctor. To help paint the picture for my colleagues that might not be from rural areas, can you go into detail about the different physician-patient relationship that happens in independent practices, particularly in rural areas compared to physicians in these huge practices?\u201d asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cTo paint the picture of how rural my community is, we are a one stoplight town. My patients could walk to my practice to see me because we were right downtown. I was able to do home visits with my patients which gave incredible insight to what was going on in their life. I would see them at Walmart [or Church] and they would talk to me about their care. Even though I closed my practice in 2022, I still get those questions from my former patients even today. You really are part of the community. You're part of the fabric. You sponsor the local baseball teams. You're at the team events as team physicians. The whole community becomes like family,\u201d responded Dr. Gholson.\n\nCongresswoman Miller continued by asking Dr. Gholson to explain what it felt like to compete with larger health systems.\n\n\u201cAs much as I\u2019d love to see every independent practice thrive, I know that there are tons of challenges out there that you all face that can drive you to close or sell your practice and move into a larger health system. Prior to having to make the impossible choice to close your practice, can you tell us some of the pressures that came with competing for workforce with larger health systems or if there was any pressure to consolidate your practice?\u201d asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cCompeting with the local hospital was probably the biggest thing with my workforce that I could not compete with what they were able to pay my nursing staff. We already had a nursing shortage going into COVID-19, and COVID-19 exacerbated the nursing shortage. It was very difficult to compete, and the hospitals had an advantage because of the facility fees, they were able to garner from the care that they were receiving, so that made it very difficult to compete,\u201d responded Dr. Gholson.\n\nCongresswoman Miller asked Dr. Timothy Richardson, an Independent Physician with Wichita Urology, if there were any Medicare regulations or reimbursement requirements that limited his practice\u2019s ability to provide high-quality care to rural patients.\n\n\u201cDr. Richardson, in order for people to understand more of the business side of how Medicare reimbursement [policy] is simply not enough to even cover the costs of operating in a rural area, are there examples where Medicare regulations or reimbursement requirements have limited your practice\u2019s ability to provide high-quality services to your rural patients?\u201d asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cI think everything\u2019s more difficult when you\u2019re treating patients in rural areas unless you actually have a provider in that area. From a specialist standpoint, you're traveling. We get in our car, grab our staff, grab our equipment, our scopes, our drugs, put them in our trunk and drive to that community to run a clinic and sometimes do some simple outpatient surgeries at that local rural hospital and then drive back. It's a burden to your quality of life [and] to your practice at home. We have had the discussion of consolidating care and making patients drive to the Wichita Metro area because we are so overburdened there. We just haven't had the heart to do it because many of these patients simply cannot or would not make the travel. They don't have the social support or the resources to drive three to four hours. One of the good things that came out of the pandemic was telemedicine. There are so many of these patients in rural Kansas that need a five-minute appointment with me that could be easily done over telemedicine and so we\u2019ve tried to take advantage of that,\u201d responded Dr. Richardson.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:01:11Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-wv-colleagues-urge-hrsa-include-terrain-factors-rural-definition", "Miller, WV Colleagues Urge HRSA to Include Terrain Factors in Rural Definition for Federal Health Care Resources", "2024-05-23", "2024", "2024-05", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

Importantly, our bill will increase access to and modernize legal services through continued flexibility for virtual proceedings, strengthen state court interactions with tribal courts, and increase funding for State and Tribal courts.\u201d\n\nClick here for bill text.\n\nBackground:\n\nThe Court Improvement Program Enhancement Act would clarify that CIP funds may be used towards technological improvements including technology support for remote hearings, development guidance, and coordination with other agencies on backup approaches to prevent disruption and enable recovery from public health crises, natural disasters, cyber-attacks, and more.\n\nThe bill will also revamp current state court requirements to better handle foster care and adoption proceedings by allowing state courts to use CIP funds for remote hearing technology and training for judges, attorneys, and other legal personnel to improve parent, family, and youth engagement in child welfare proceedings.\n\nThe Court Improvement Program supports Superior Courts in overseeing cases and hearings on child abuse and neglect in a timely manner.\n\nThe CIP enhances courts' capabilities in handling child welfare hearings, providing essential training to judges on trauma-informed care and promoting quality care and improved outcomes for children and families.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:12:30Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-highlights-benefits-opportunity-zones-small-businesses-ways-and-means", "Miller Highlights Benefits of Opportunity Zones for Small Businesses in a Ways and Means Field Hearing", "2024-05-21", "2024", "2024-05", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

It\u2019s so important and it's what's coming ahead. I bought apartments and I painted them when I couldn't afford somebody else to do it. I've been ankle deep in sump pump water. I'm a small business owner. I'm an LLC. I am not a bad person for being a corporation. I can remember those huge printouts every time I had to make a payment; I'd mark it off. My interest was huge. People who make policy don't often understand the risk that people in business take, small businesses in particular. Those small business people are the ones that support the Little League teams, that help the Boy Scouts, and Girl Scouts. They're the ones that are reinvesting in their people and in their community. West Virginia is about 95% small businesses. I do represent rural West Virginia, and we live in a community that's very similar here. We have suffered from bad policy and bad ideas, but like these Opportunity Zones, they have become a very effective tool to help investment in our communities. I saw so many plants leaving in the \u201880s and in the \u201890s because of policy, so it's so important that we do what we do. I'm an original cosponsor of Chairman Kelly's Opportunity Zones and Transparency Extension and Improvement Act, and I strongly support it,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller.\n\nCongresswoman Miller asked Drew Whiting, CEO of Erie Downtown Development Corporation, for the timeframe of when he began to see the benefits of the Opportunity Zone policies and why it\u2019s important to extend the program.\n\n\u201cMr. Whiting, thank you for being here. I'm impressed what I've heard about Erie\u2019s development today. We're redeveloping Huntington and Charleston along our main streets in our town. Can you explain how long it\u2019s taken for Erie to see the benefits of the Opportunity Zone program and why it\u2019s so important that it should be extended?\u201d asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cAt the beginning of our seventh year of action on this right now, and I would say that we're probably a year and a half into seeing some of these benefits. It does take a while and that's because development takes some time, and for the effects to take hold after that will take time as well. We need more time,\u201d responded Mr. Whiting.\n\nCongresswoman Miller ended her questioning by asking Mr. Whiting to explain his experience with using OZs to address the housing shortage in Erie.\n\n\u201cHousing is also a big issue in West Virginia and in my district, and we do have access to more recent data, which indicates the OZs have had such a significant impact on adding to our housing supply. It's up from 8% before designation, so we also know that this new activity has a positive spillover in our neighboring communities. Can you also speak about your experiences of using OZs to address the housing shortage here in Erie?\u201d asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cOur OZ work has resulted in about 110 new apartments where 14 existed prior. It's also spurred on additional activity that has led to efforts at more supportive and low income, affordable housing around the community. We have something to work for. This is a place worth investing in. This is a place worth creating new housing in now. So the organizations like the Hamot Health Foundation, the Community Foundation, are doing that work. I'm not sure that there would be the impetus to do it 10 years ago,\u201d responded Mr. Whiting.\n\n\u201cThank you, all of you for being here and taking the time today. We really appreciate it. God bless you,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:12:30Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/millers-statement-usps-postmaster-general-louis-dejoys-decision-pause-changes", "Miller's Statement on USPS Postmaster General Louis DeJoy's Decision to Pause Changes to USPS Facilities", "2024-05-20", "2024", "2024-05", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

The Biden Administration\u2019s final rule on the Electric Vehicle Credit makes it clear that they are prioritizing misguided Green New Deal products coming from China over American investment in our domestic supply chain. Not only is this rule making clearly illegal, but it also undermines American manufacturing and economic growth. Allowing Chinese entities to deluge the United States with products that should and can be made in America is a betrayal of American manufacturers and producers. Our adversaries should not have access to American tax credits, plain and simple. This bipartisan, bicameral Congressional Review Act resolution holds the Biden Administration accountable for the economic and national security disasters they are bestowing upon the American people. The Biden Administration\u2019s alignment with the Chinese Communist Party weakens the United States, and Congress must lead when Joe Biden refuses to,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\"This new Treasury rule misses the point of the IRA: We're supposed to be prioritizing American manufacturing, not using taxpayer dollars to reward our foreign competitors\u2019 market distortions by cementing their position in our supply chain. I support this CRA because it makes Congressional intent clear: More production in the United States,\" said Congressman Golden.\n\n\u201cThe Inflation Reduction Act was written specifically to bring our energy and manufacturing supply chains back to the United States and eliminate our dependency on foreign adversaries, especially China. This Administration continues to ignore the law that Congress agreed upon and implement a bill that they did not pass that allows China to gain control of our nation\u2019s auto industry. I am proud to introduce this bipartisan, bicameral CRA resolution of disapproval to hold the White House and its radical climate advisors accountable, protect American jobs and secure our energy supply chains,\u201d said Senator Manchin.\n\n\u201cPresident Biden wants to prop up America\u2019s transition to EVs by keeping Chinese graphite flowing into the United States.

The Treasury Department has issued weak Foreign Entity of Concern definitions that fail to protect American tax dollars from flowing to Chinese companies.

The Biden Administration has shockingly announced its plan to raise taxes by over seven trillion dollars next year,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cI am deeply concerned about our domestic industries\u2019 reliance on Chinese technologies and investments. As the recently appointed Chairwoman of the Supply Chains Tax Team, I look forward to working with my colleagues to improve upon the broken IRA\u2019s energy credits, protecting a competitive corporate rate, and ensuring the United States is the best place to invest, as it was under President Trump\u2019s historic tax cuts. I have introduced two bills, the Protecting American Advanced Manufacturing Act and the End Chinese Dominance of Electric Vehicles Act, to improve the Foreign Entity of Concern definitions for the 45X and the 30D tax credits respectively. The current agreements establish a dangerous precedent that will take the U.S. decades to reverse, by creating a future where our automotive and other industries are heavily reliant on foreign technologies. Without immediate passage of both of my bills, Chinese entities will receive billions of American tax dollars every single year. Secretary Yellen, yes or no, does the Biden Administration support taxpayer dollars funding Chinese entities?\" askedCongresswoman Miller.\n\n\"When it comes to electric vehicles, the IRA, which obviously the Administration supports, has foreign entity of concern restrictions coming into effect this year and next, which will almost prevent entirely, participation of Chinese firms in producing components, minerals, or processing going into batteries,\" responded Secretary Yellen.\n\n\"That's not a yes or no,\" said Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\"It\u2019s a very significant restriction that will protect our supply chain.

The United States must call out Iranian groups who commit such evil attacks for what they really are: terrorist organizations. President Biden has shown nothing but weakness and inconsistency when it comes to supporting Israel, and it\u2019s unacceptable.

In addition to this weekend\u2019s unprecedented attack directly from Iran on Israel, we\u2019ve seen ramped up, repeated proxy attacks on U.S. troops and our other allies in the Middle East. Iran is clearly emboldened by the Biden administration\u2019s weakness,\u201d said Congressman Steube. \u201cWashington has failed to designate most of the Iranian-backed militias as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.

This legislation aims to increase access to home dialysis by providing trained, professional staff assistance to patients in the home and ensuring that all patients are given the education and support they need to utilize this modality if they so choose. Representatives Marilyn Strickland (D-WA), Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA), and Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) joined the Congresswoman in introducing the legislation.\n\n\u201cIndividuals with End Stage Renal Disease are often faced with difficult decisions when choosing where to receive dialysis services. In rural areas, some patients must forgo a full-time job or time with their family to travel hours back and forth to dialysis centers to receive the life-sustaining care they need. Home dialysis is a wonderful tool that allows patients to be at the center of their own care, and Congress should be working to ensure patients that choose this modality receive the training necessary to dialyze safely in their home. The Improving Access to Home Dialysis Act will provide patients the education and support they need to utilize home dialysis if they so choose,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cHigh-quality and affordable kidney care should not be considered a luxury in the United States,\u201d said Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland. \"We must work together with caregivers and providers to ensure that patients have the resources and training they need to receive dialysis in the comfort of their own homes, and make sure that patients know that in home care is an option.\u201d\n\n\u201cAs a physician in Congress, I know how important it is to increase patient choice. With advancements in technology and care, people with kidney failure should be informed of options beyond in-center dialysis. Our bipartisan bill would enhance access, reduce travel time, and improve the well-being and quality of life of those Americans needing dialysis and for whom home dialysis is a feasible option,\u201d said Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks.\n\n\u201cHome dialysis is a powerful model that puts patients and families in control of their care. This legislation is a simple, common-sense proposal that does not need to be unduly complex and will improve outcomes. I look forward to working in a bipartisan manner to advance it,\u201d said Congressman Earl Blumenauer.\n\n\u201cPatients deserve to know about all options for dialysis so they can make an educated choice for themselves. Too many patients are never told they have options besides in-center dialysis that could improve their quality of life. We are deeply appreciative of Reps. Miller, Strickland, Blumenauer, and Miller-Meeks for their introduction of the Improving Access to Home Dialysis Act, which will help more patients learn about and gain access to home dialysis,\" said Kevin Longino, CEO of the National Kidney Foundation.\n\n\"ASN commends Representatives Miller, Strickland, Miller-Meeks, and Blumenauer for introducing the Improving Access to Home Dialysis Act. Home dialysis can increase independence and improve quality of life for many people with kidney failure, yet too often patients who are medically eligible to receive home dialysis are not able to choose this modality due to inadequate social support in their home. By providing in-home staff assistance when a patient needs it most, this legislation will empower more patients to choose home dialysis,\u201d said Deidra C. Crews, MD, ScM, FASN, President, American Society of Nephrology.\n\n\u201cI am grateful to Reps. Miller, Strickland, Blumenauer, and Miller Meeks for spearheading this push to make home dialysis more accessible for us. Policies like this make me increasingly optimistic that more kidney patients struggling with dialysis can have a chance to get some of their life back,\u201d said Bell Maddux, Home Dialysis Patient.\n\nClick here for bill text.\n\nBackground:\n\nMore than 800,000 adults in the United States have irreversible kidney failure and require either a transplant or multiple dialysis treatments per week to survive. The average in-center dialysis treatment takes 3-4 hours to complete, not including travel to and from the center.\n\nHome dialysis, including peritoneal dialysis and home hemodialysis, is a treatment modality that can be performed in the patient\u2019s residence. Home dialysis is currently used by about 12% of U.S. dialysis patients.\n\nThe bill is a continuation of the Ways and Means Committee\u2019s efforts to enhance access to care at home.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T20:47:55Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-questions-united-states-trade-representative-ambassador-tai-biden", "Miller Questions United States Trade Representative Ambassador Tai on the Biden Administration's 2024 Trade Agenda", "2024-04-17", "2024", "2024-04", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

The Biden Administration has allowed China to lead on global trade initiatives for far too long, and I am eager to implement an America first trade agenda that ensures American manufacturers, businesses, and innovation thrive. These bills are vital to securing American trade priorities, and I look forward to working with Chairman Smith, along with the rest of our colleagues, to choose American taxpayers over Chinese billionaires,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller.\n\nThe End Chinese Dominance of Electric Vehicles in America Act of 2024 would tighten the Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) definition for the 30D electric vehicle (EV) tax credit and prohibit Chinese companies from accessing U.S. tax dollars.\n\nClick here to watch.\n\nKey Quote: \u201cThe Biden Administration has been more concerned about bowing to radical environmentalists than actually helping develop these technologies in America. This legislation will close the Chinese billionaire loophole that currently allows entities owned by billionaires from countries of concern to benefit from the Electric Vehicle (EV) subsidies, if their ties to these hostile governments are only unofficial. This bill will also ensure all components going into the battery are not sourced from China. To fix the Biden Administration\u2019s China favorable regulations that effectively exclude the top half of the supply chain from being subject to any limitation at all. Finally, this bill will prevent companies that merely partner with FEOC firms without developing any domestic intellectual property or knowledge transfer from benefiting from this tax break. I urge all my colleagues to vote yes and choose American taxpayers over Chinese billionaires,\" said Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cThis bill is a major step towards fixing the loopholes in the Inflation Reduction Act that allow China and other foreign entities of concern to profit from American tax dollars. We shouldn\u2019t be handing a blank check to those wishing to do us economic harm. I\u2019m thankful to Rep. Miller for introducing this legislation,\u201d said Chairman Jason Smith.\n\nThe Expedited Review of Products for GSP Act would create an expedited process for stakeholders to petition the addition or removal of products from the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program.

This will ensure that Congress has the information it needs to quickly add or remove products from GSP to ensure the program is as effective as possible while also protecting American manufacturing. While this bill is a great first step, there are other trade priorities I\u2019d be remiss to highlight. As a Chair of the Friends of Ecuador Caucus, I look forward to working with my colleague and Co-Chair Congresswoman Sewell to continue to advocate for increased trade with Ecuador and an eventual Free Trade Agreement. I appreciate that in this bill\u2019s Competitive Need Limitations (CNL) reforms will ensure that Ecuadorian roses will remain in the program. This is fantastic evidence that preference programs, like GSP, are effective at helping both developing countries and American consumers,\" said Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\u201cToo many times President Biden has effectively handed the pen to China to write international trade standards. Ensuring modernization of the GSP product list is necessary for maintaining U.S. leadership on trade matters. Thanks to Rep.

Davis (D-IL). This bill reauthorizes reentry grant programs from the Second Chance Act of 2008 for an additional five years, allowing the government to continue making important investments across the U.S. to bolster reentry services and help people successfully reenter their communities after incarceration.\n\n\u201cIn West Virginia, we know how important it is to provide everyone with opportunities to succeed. The Second Chance Reauthorization Act is an important component of my efforts to reduce recidivism rates and increase public safety. When we invest in our communities and put in place strong reentry services and supports for people released from prisons and jails, we build stronger and safer communities,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller. \u201cThe bill\u2019s strengthened provisions around transitional housing services and substance abuse treatment will be instrumental in helping people in West Virginia and across the nation get back on the right path as they reenter their communities.\u201d\n\n\u201cSecond Chance reentry programs and services have reached hundreds of thousands of individuals and families across the country, creating healthier families and safer communities,\u201d said Congressman Davis. \u201cContinuing to invest in these evidenced-based interventions is a commonsense approach to strengthen individuals, re-build families, and grow our economy.\u201d\n\nJoining Representatives Miller and Davis are Representatives Darin LaHood (R-IL), Bobby Scott (D-VA), Kelly Armstrong (R-ND), Jerry Nadler (D-NY), Bruce Westerman (R-AR), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), Barry Moore (R-AL), and Mike Turner (R-OH).\n\n\u201cThe Second Chance Act provides an invaluable safety net for those returning to society. Recently incarcerated individuals require a number of stabilizing services and opportunities to get their life back on the right track. We have the evidence and tools at our disposal to reduce recidivism and encourage successful reentry, and we know that the programs funded through the Second Chance Act work. I thank my colleagues for joining this bipartisan effort with me,\u201d said Congressman Scott.\n\n\u201cFor 15 years, the Second Chance Act has supported communities by improving the re-entry process from incarceration back into society,\u201d said Rep. Armstrong. \u201cAs a former criminal defense attorney, I saw firsthand how the program reduced recidivism to make these communities safer and lowered costs to taxpayers. It requires constant communication between parole and law enforcement officers, family members, employers, and other entities. I am proud to join this crucial reauthorization so we can continue to build on the successes of the Second Chance Act and work to guarantee a safer system for all,\u201d said Congressman Armstrong.\n\n\u201cThe Second Chance Reauthorization Act bolsters support for people reentering society after incarceration, ensuring they have robust reentry services and a chance to lead honest, productive lives. I am honored to join my colleagues in affirming the transformative ability of second chances and empowering formerly incarcerated individuals who are striving to become valued contributors to our communities,\" said Congressman Nadler.\n\n\u201cPromoting second chances is essential to breaking the cycle of crime. When we meet individuals who have paid their debts to society with the support and tools they need to succeed, rather than with burdensome legal and social barriers, they are less likely to re-offend and more likely to be positive members of our communities. I'm proud to support the Second Chance Reauthorization Act to promote second chances and foster safer communities. The opportunities and resources provided by this legislation will be paramount in breaking the cycle of crime and reducing recidivism rates in Arkansas and nationwide,\u201d said Congressman Westerman.\n\n\u201cFor far too long, the American criminal justice system has operated based on a misguided understanding of how to promote and achieve public safety. As we continue to embrace and uplift the importance of providing critical reentry programming and services to help promote public safety and provide second chances to individuals returning to their homes and communities, I am pleased to join my colleagues in introducing The Second Chance Reauthorization Act of 2024. Research has long shown that punitive carceral environments which lack meaningful rehabilitative measures only further foster dangerous and unsafe outcomes for everyone within the walls of American jails and prisons including correctional staff. Those conditions then contribute to increased rates of recidivism \u2013 putting communities outside prison walls at risk of harm. Meaningful investment in rehabilitative re-entry services, the kinds of partnerships and opportunities made possible by the Second Chance Reauthorization Act, have been shown to reduce recidivism rates and make our communities safer. Congress must continue expanding and shifting strategies - like the Second Chance Act - to advance public safety to ultimately reach our paramount goal of keeping our communities safe,\u201d said Congresswoman Jackson Lee.\n\n\u201cSecuring a steady job, housing, and reintegrating into a community after serving time is a challenge more than 70 million Americans face,\u201d said Moore. \u201cThe Second Chance Act helps programs that assist these individuals with reentry and has been proven to reduce recidivism. I have seen the benefits of this legislation in my own district at J.F. Ingram State Technical College, where they offer 20 technical training programs for incarcerated adults including automotive repair, construction, cosmetics, and logistics,\u201d said Congressman Moore.\n\nClick here for bill text.\n\nBackground:\n\nThe bipartisan Second Chance Act was signed into law by President Bush in April 2008.\n\nSince its enactment, Second Chance Act programs have supported states, local governments, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations in their efforts to reduce recidivism.\n\nThe Second Chance Act has presented over 1,100 awards to grantees since 2009, totaling over $600 million dollars.\n\nTo date, more than 442,000 justice-involved individuals have participated in reentry services through these programs.\n\nWest Virginia has received nine grants totaling over $5 million dollars, which has changed many lives across the state.\n\nIn Huntington, West Virginia, the Second Chance funded \u201cturn around\u201d program ran by the Huntington Police Department, reduced recidivism by 9% last year.\n\nThe legislation is supported by the American Jail Association, American Parole and Probation Association, Catholic Charities USA, Conservative Political Action Coalition, Correctional Leaders Association, Council of State Governments Justice Center, Major County Sheriffs of America, National Alliance on Mental Illness, National Association of Counties, National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors, National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors, National District Attorneys Association, National League of Cities, Prison Fellowship, Safer Foundation, Treatment Alternatives for Safe Communities, and U.S. Chamber of Commerce.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T20:47:55Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-introduces-expedited-review-products-gsp-act", "Miller Introduces the Expedited Review of Products for GSP Act", "2024-04-16", "2024", "2024-04", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

Drew Ferguson IV (R-GA).\n\nOn USTR's failure to consult Congress about the lack of references to trade barriers in the digital sector in the recent NTE:\n\nWe write with deep concern about the recently released National Trade Estimate (NTE) on Foreign Trade Barriers, which does not include references to trade barriers in the digital sector and other sectors. This new approach of excluding these barriers is alarming and undermines the purpose for which Congress created the NTE, which is to identify and address foreign trade barriers. In addition to our substantive opposition to such an approach, we note with disappointment that USTR has failed to consult with Congress about this significant policy change, which we learned about through press reports before the release of this year\u2019s NTE.\n\nDigital trade is central to U.S. economic growth and innovation as well as U.S. global leadership. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. companies earned $626 billion from digitally-enabled service exports in 2022. Moreover, the livelihoods of 3 million Americans depend on open trade channels in the digital and e-commerce sector. Unfortunately, these jobs and U.S. competitiveness are at risk from digital trade barriers around the world. Countless countries are actively seeking to knee-cap American technology firms in a variety of unfair, discriminatory, and trade-distorting ways. For instance, the Republic of Korea is considering discriminatory platform monopoly legislation, while many others, including Canada and France, are imposing digital services taxes targeted at American companies. It is in the national interest to take proper stock of these efforts so that we can mount an effective response.\n\nRecognizing the importance of taking proper stock, Congress created the NTE in the Trade Act of 1974. Significantly, for our present purposes, the law requires an \u201can inventory of significant foreign barriers to, or distortions of, U.S. exports of goods and services, including...U.S. electronic commerce.\u201d Operationalizing the principle that you can\u2019t fight what you can\u2019t see, the NTE has helped the United States knock down a wide range of trade barriers, including digital trade barriers, thereby supporting U.S. technological competitiveness abroad.\n\nOn USTR's explanation of scaling back references to digital trade barriers:\n\nWe find USTR\u2019s explanation that scaling back references to digital trade barriers warranted with respect to any barrier that is \u201can effort to regulate in the public interest\u201d to be as curious as it is concerning. Immediately, the question comes to mind: the interest of what public? Certainly, the American public does not benefit from trade barriers that reduce our national competitiveness. Nor did the American public elect those foreign policymakers seeking to discriminate against U.S. firms. In fact, they elected Members of Congress to make policy on these issues. Perhaps the Office of the United States Trade Representative believes it capable of objectively ascertaining the interest of a foreign public. However, it is not in the interest of the United States to allow other countries deploy the \u201cpublic interest\u201d as a talisman to ward off legitimate critique.\n\nIf anything, the decision to change the standard of inclusion for digital barriers sets USTR on quite a slippery slope. Surely, any trading partner enacting a tax or regulation that unfairly harms American farmers, manufacturers, or workers will argue that its measure advances its \u201cpublic interest,\u201d but that excuse does not reduce the resulting harm to Americans! Coming on the heels of USTR\u2019s recent pullback on longstanding digital trade priorities at the World Trade Organization and in ongoing negotiations of the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework trade pillar, this NTE decision further suggests the administration is uninterested in supporting American digital economy leadership.\n\nUltimately, a weaker stance on digital trade in this year\u2019s NTE is a signal that USTR will no longer resist new foreign digital trade barriers, an even more expansive position than the current digital trade abdication. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to continue the NTE\u2019s focus on digital trade barriers, consistent with your statutory mandate. This is critical to provide the American companies that depend on the free flow of these products the adequate protections to which they are entitled. We strongly encourage you to uphold your Congressionally authorized role and look forward to working with you to resolve this matter to ensure U.S. companies can continue to compete on the world stage, with confidence that the U.S. government will forcefully confront unfair trade practices imposed by foreign governments in all sectors of the economy.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T20:47:55Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-highlights-benefits-gop-tax-reform-ways-and-means-committee-hearing", "Miller Highlights Benefits of GOP Tax Reform in a Ways and Means Committee Hearing", "2024-04-12", "2024", "2024-04", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

It's entirely different. It's just so good to hear the voices of businesses owners from my home state to discuss the benefits of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and our Committee's work to extend key benefits for hardworking Americans like Mr. Ervin and his employees. You are all what make this country great,\" said Congresswoman Miller.\n\nCongresswoman Miller highlighted the significance of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and how it positively impacts everyone from corporations to individuals.\n\n\"The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was one of the most important policies passed into law in generations, thanks to the work of President Trump and the united Republican governance in the House and Senate. To this day, the positive impacts of a simpler tax code are still being felt. It is telling that Biden and his liberal colleagues in the House and Senate did not repeal any key provisions of President Trump's landmark legislation and failed to gain the requisite support within their own party to raise our tax rate or strip small businesses of the fairer treatment that the TCJA provided. Lowering our corporate tax rate to a globally competitive 21 percent has been a key driver in drawing investment to our country and allowing our businesses to reinvest in their employees and communities. I strongly support maintaining this rate,\"said Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\"Any increase to pay for any industry specific handouts undermines the core tenant of the TCJA, and broadening our tax base and simplifying the tax code. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was extremely successful at simplifying the code on the individual side as well. In West Virginia, over 97 percent of filers utilize the increased standard deduction included in the TCJA. This means that more families spend less time worrying about their taxes and have more money in their pockets. At the end of the day, families, large employers, and small businesses all benefited from the passage of the TCJA. In West Virginia, only 98% of our businesses are actually small businesses. The 199(A) small business deduction allows for pass through entities to receive a comparable tax rate to larger corporations, allowing small businesses to stay competitive and reinvest in their employees. I look forward to working with a re-elected President Trump, Chairman Smith, and all my colleagues to extend the essential components of the TCJA and spent the next year hearing from our constituents on how to improve on this essential legislation,\"said Congresswoman Miler.\n\nCongresswoman Miller asked Mr. Ervin what the possible outcome would have been on his coffee company if the 199(A) deduction had not been extended.\n\n\"Mr. Ervin, can you describe what the impact on Coal River Coffee would be if the 199(A) deduction was not extended?\" asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\"Let me just start off by saying, we've only existed since this has existed. When I started my company, I was probably considered low income, and to answer Ms. Sanchez's question earlier, yes, I'm qualified to answer and speak to these aspects. It created an environment for entrepreneurship in a very depressed and economically depressed state. If we lose that deduction, in particular, it will squelch, it will kill that environment. Not only that, there won't be as much of an incentive to actually start something and take a risk, maybe take a loan, and do the things that are necessary to create economy and that's what we're doing is creating economy, creating jobs, doing what the American dream is. Just like my friend over here, his father started their journey in this dream, and that's what I'm doing. Hopefully, for my children who are sitting in the back of this right now watching this, they can inherit my business someday. If deduction is not extended, were made permanent, which is what I hope, then me and the other entrepreneurs, business owners in 98% of the business in my state, might have to close and that's why I'm here today,\" responded Mr. Ervin.\n\nCongresswoman Miller ended her questioning by asking Mr. Ervin how he has invested in his community.\n\n\"How have you reinvested in your company since the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act?\" asked Congresswoman Miller.\n\n\"We help start organizations. We give money towards title league programs in particular. are these bigger corporations doing that? No, they're not. We give to almost every sporting team that comes to us. We obviously have our program with the recovery network. We help with organizations that integrate folks with disabilities, we employ folks with disabilities. They love being a part of something that is bigger,\" responded Mr. Ervin.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T20:47:55Z"], ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-colleagues-introduce-bipartisan-bill-reassert-congressional-authority", "Miller, Colleagues Introduce Bipartisan Bill to Reassert Congressional Authority on\u00a0Indo-Pacific Trade", "2024-04-11", "2024", "2024-04", "Republican", "House", "WV", "Carol D.

The U.S. Trade Leadership in the Indo-Pacific Act will reassert Congress\u2019s authority over trade to combat China\u2019s growing economic influence in the Indo-Pacific through renewed American efforts at re-engaging our allies and identifying opportunities for regional partnerships.\n\nIt is evident that the United States is falling behind in the Indo-Pacific region. China has engaged our allies to pursue active trade agendas that block the US from competing. The U.S. has not concluded a single comprehensive trade agreement with an Indo-Pacific partner in more than 10 years. Trade with our Indo-Pacific allies is critical as it supports millions of American jobs and represents several of our top export markets. A targeted U.S. International Trade Commission study will develop meaningful solutions to achieve U.S. objectives through a bipartisan Indo-Pacific Trade Strategy Commission, which will deliver recommendations on options that Congress can take to compete in the region.\n\nClick here for bill text.\n\n\"Now more than ever, it is imperative that the United States has strong trade relationships in the Indo-Pacific. The Biden Administration\u2019s inaction on trade has left gaping holes that the Chinese Communist Party is more than happy to fill, and Congress must step up. The U.S. Trade Leadership in the Indo-Pacific Act is just the first of many necessary steps that the United States needs to take to remain leaders in global trade. The bipartisan Indo-Pacific Trade Strategy Commission will deliver recommendations to Congress on options that it can take to compete in the region to achieve U.S. objectives and deliver measurable outcomes,\" said Congresswoman Carol Miller.\n\n\"The United States needs to step it up when it comes to its role in trade relations for the Indo-Pacific region. The bipartisan U.S. Trade Leadership in the Indo-Pacific Act would establish a dedicated independent trade commission tasked with developing a comprehensive strategy to promote U.S. innovation, exports, and economic opportunities while countering the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s aggressive trade policies. This legislation would prompt America to work with our regional partners, strengthen our economies, and provide stewardship in an area of growing competition and immense opportunity,\" said Congressman Jimmy Panetta.\n\n\"Due to inaction by the current administration, we are losing ground in global markets for American producers. Considering the challenges to security in the Indo-Pacific and aggression by China, we cannot allow the United States to miss crucial opportunities to stand up for American workers, benefit consumers, and strengthen relationships with allies. This bill is an important step as Congress works to reassert its constitutional authority over trade matters, and I thank Rep. Miller and my other colleagues who have come together to introduce it,\" said Congressman Adrian Smith.\n\n\"It is hard to overstate the tremendous and growing importance of the Indo-Pacific region for the U.S. economy, either as a destination for American exports, a key link in critical supply chains, or as a source of foreign direct investment. It is crucial that the United States is at the table as the rules governing Indo-Pacific trade are being crafted. This legislation will provide us with the information we need and recommendations on how to best engage with our allies and partners to put the U.S. workers in a position to succeed in the years ahead,\" said Congressman Don Beyer.\n\n\"The United States must not relinquish its lead on trade in the Indo-Pacific as the Chinese Communist Party seeks to exert their influence economically and militarily in the region and around the globe. The bipartisan U.S. Trade Leadership in the Indo-Pacific Act reasserts the United States\u2019 economic leadership in the Indo-Pacific and states unequivocally our interests there for the benefit of farmers and small and medium-sized enterprises, nationwide. I am proud to join this bipartisan group in introducing this legislation, which takes necessary steps in outlining a long-term economic strategy in the Indo-Pacific region,\" said Congressman Darin LaHood.\n\n\"As the epicenter of the 21st century global economy, the Indo-Pacific region is crucial for American prosperity and security. Given Beijing\u2019s assertive efforts to shape the trade agenda in the region, it is vital that the United States reassert leadership to ensure the rules governing trade in the Indo-Pacific support American values. This bipartisan legislation underscores our commitment to fostering innovation, expanding exports, and safeguarding American interests in the Indo-Pacific region,\" said Congressman Ami Bera.\n\n\"The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is pleased to support the United States Trade Leadership in the Indo-Pacific Act. By the end of this decade more than 60% of the world's middle class consumers will reside in the Indo-Pacific region, and American workers, farmers, and companies need better access to those growing markets. This bill provides a roadmap that will lead the United States back the negotiating table for new market-opening trade agreements to support jobs and growth here at home,\" said John Murphy, Senior Vice President and Head of International, U.S. Chamber of Commerce.\n\n\"Manufacturers thank Representative Carol Miller for her leadership on advancing trade in the Indo-Pacific region. Strengthening economic ties with the Indo-Pacific region is vital for manufacturers, as the region represents two-fifths of total U.S. manufacturing trade \u2013 nearly two-thirds of which is with markets outside of China. Our competitors are actively negotiating new agreements in the Indo-Pacific that exclude us, putting manufacturers at a disadvantage. One of the primary ways the U.S. can better assert global economic leadership is through the negotiation and implementation of strong trade agreements with our friends and allies in the Indo-Pacific region and elsewhere. Trade deals play a key role in promoting U.S. economic leadership, deepening ties, opening markets for American-made goods and diversifying supply chains. By advancing an ambitious U.S. trade agreement agenda, we can ensure that the U.S., and not our competitors, writes the rules for the global economy and trading system,\" said Chris Netram, Managing Vice President for Policy at the National Association of Manufacturers.\n\n\"PhRMA strongly supports this legislation, appreciates the leadership of its sponsors, and agrees that the United States must pursue an ambitious trade agreement with our Indo-Pacific partners. The IPEF is unambitious and disappointing. More meaningful commercial engagement in the region requires strong market access, intellectual property, and other pro-innovation policies,\" said Douglas Petersen, Deputy Vice President, International, PhRMA.\n\n\"The National Foreign Trade Council applauds the introduction today of the U.S. Trade Leadership in the Indo-Pacific Act and congratulates its bipartisan cosponsors. This legislation reflects strong, bipartisan support for consistent, durable, and aggressive U.S. leadership that builds confidence with our allies in the region. Congress has an important role to play in signaling that the United States is committed for the long-term and will work to promote our economic security by deepening economic integration across the Indo-Pacific, creating new commercial opportunities for our companies, farmers, and workers. We hope the actions proposed by this legislation will help to inform policymakers about the risks to U.S. security and economic interests of inaction - or insufficient action - and spark more aggressive leadership that can deliver meaningful results for American businesses and workers,\" said Tiffany Smith, Vice President for Global Trade Policy, National Foreign Trade Council.\n\n\"The U.S. must reestablish leadership on the global trade front and NRF applauds Representatives Carol Miller, R-W.V., Ami Bera, D-Ca., Adrian Smith, R-Neb., Don Beyer, D-Va., Darin LaHood, R-Ill., and Jimmy Panetta, D-Calif., for introducing the U.S. Trade Leadership in the Indo-Pacific Act. This important bill will not only help identify the current gaps in our trade policy toward the region, but also find opportunities to re-engage and help U.S. companies, including retailers, compete globally. The retail industry overwhelmingly supports a more comprehensive and economic strategy to ensure further certainty and resiliency in the supply chain,\" said David French, Senior Vice President, Government Relations, National Retail Federation.\n\n\"Increasing our trade and investment ties within the Indo-Pacific region would not only benefit U.S. workers, it would greatly improve America's strategic interests. By working with like-minded nations, the United States can increase prosperity at home and abroad, and I applaud Reps. Miller, Panetta, Smith, Beyer, LaHood, and Bera for prioritizing this critical issue,\" said Nancy Mclernon, Global Business Alliance.\n\n\"Leading retailers welcome today\u2019s introduction of the United States Trade Leadership in the Indo-Pacific Act, which will help chart a path towards meaningful U.S. engagement in the Indo-Pacific region and create vital market access opportunities that American businesses need to create more diversified and resilient supply chains. This bill sends an important signal that the U.S. must engage proactively with trading partners in the region or risk falling behind \u2013 disadvantaging American businesses, workers, and consumers. RILA and our members thank Rep. Carol Miller for her leadership on this bill, as well as Ways and Means Trade Subcommittee Chair Adrian Smith and Reps. Darin LaHood, Ami Bera, Don Beyer, and Jimmy Panetta for joining in the introduction of this important legislation that will help American businesses compete globally,\" said Blake Harden, Vice President of International Trade, Retail Industry Leaders Association.\n\n\"AAFA fully supports re-engaging with our allies in the Indo-Pacific on trade. The U.S. is left out of key markets because we are not negotiating meaningful and comprehensive trade agreements in the region, specifically with Vietnam. Many thanks to Rep. Carol Miller for her leadership in introducing this important measure and ensuring we can advance U.S. trade priorities in the Indo-Pacific region,\" said Stephen Lamar, President and CEO of the American Apparel & Footwear Association.\n\n\"America's most recognizable food, beverage, household and personal care manufacturers applaud the introduction of the U.S. Trade Leadership in the Indo-Pacific Act and Congressional efforts that will strengthen supply chains and connectivity with key global markets in the region. As the largest domestic manufacturing sector, the CPG industry is bullish on harnessing the potential of Congressionally supported trade efforts to promote U.S. competitiveness, grow the economy and support American manufacturing jobs,\" said David Chavern, President and CEO, Consumer Brands Association.\n\n\"The US-ASEAN Business Council, which represents 175 American companies doing business in Southeast Asia, with over $7 trillion in combined revenue, welcomes Rep. Miller's legislative leadership in reinvigorating the competitiveness of US trade policy in Asia. While US trade growth with Southeast Asia is strong, reaching over $500 billion last year and supporting over half a million jobs across the nation, all of America's trade competitors already have \u2014 or are negotiating \u2014 preferential market access trade agreements for their businesses with Southeast Asia, a region forecasted to be 4th largest economy in the world by 2030,\" said Amb.
