This reckless spending is a direct affront to the will of the voters.\n\n\"The 4,126-page, $1.8 trillion spending spree takes the problem of record-high inflation from bad to worse and adds hundreds of billions more to our already massive national debt.\n\n\"Among the many disastrous ironies buried in this omnibus spending package is a provision barring border patrol from investing in proven methods to curb the flow of illegal drugs and migrants across our southern border while simultaneously investing $410 million to secure the borders of Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman.\"\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:32:05Z"], ["https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2360", "Balderson Backs Legislation to Put Investors Ahead of Woke Initiatives", "2022-12-16", "2022", "2022-12", "Republican", "House", "OH", "Troy Balderson", "B001306", "balderson.house.gov", "balderson", "https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27&Page=9", "scraper", "H.R. 9527 reins in proxy advisors and limits their influence over American corporate governance.\n\nCongressman Troy Balderson today cosponsored the Putting Investors First Act, legislation aimed at ensuring pension funds put the financial interests of investors ahead of woke initiatives.\n\nH.R. 9527 reins in proxy advisors and limits their influence over American corporate governance.

Ukraine, Romania, Georgia, Bulgaria and Turkey are strategic partners in the region and are vital for U.S. security interests. The region also has economic importance as a transportation nexus for many goods, including grain exports from Ukraine, and energy products from the Caspian Sea. Representatives Keating and Turner believe it is important for the U.S. to play both a more proactive role in the region, establishing a formal US strategy that bolsters security and encourages trade with the region.\n\nCongressman Turner said, \u201cThe U.S. and our allies must maintain a strong presence in the Black Sea region to maintain and expand energy imports, digital infrastructure and economic development. Our goal is to deter malign attempts by Russia and China to control the region \u2013 a move that would threaten our security interests abroad. This legislation creates a roadmap for the U.S. and our allies to strengthen economic ties, counter our adversaries and defend democracy abroad.\u201d\n\nCongressman Keating said, \u201cThe Departments of State and Defense have been working for years developing a U.S. strategy for how we can best bolster security and stability in the region. This legislation formalizes those efforts and provides greater certainty for our partners in the region going forward. Strong Black Sea partners serve as a buffer against further Russian aggression and protect vital market access to the rest of the world.\u201d\n\nSpecifically, this legislation:\n\nCalls for a more robust foreign policy toward the Black Sea region, including increased advocacy between U.S., NATO and EU and bolstering economic ties between the U.S. and the Black Sea region;\n\n180 days following passage of legislation, requires an interagency strategy to increase military assistance and coordination with NATO and the EU, deepen economic ties, strengthen democracy and economic security and enhance security assistance with Black Sea countries.\n\nThe Black Sea Security Act of 2022 is the House companion of a bill introduced by Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Mitt Romney.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:32:05Z"], ["https://carey.house.gov/2022/12/12/exclusive-republicans-warn-biden-hes-putting-us-flight-safety-risk-holiday/", "EXCLUSIVE: Republicans warn Biden that he\u2019s putting U.S. flight safety at risk this holiday season by sending Air Marshalls to the border to deal with the migrant crisis \u2013 and demand to know how much it is costing taxpayers", "2022-12-12", "2022", "2022-12", "Republican", "House", "OH", "Mike Carey", "C001126", "carey.house.gov", "carey", "https://carey.house.gov/press-releases/", "scraper", "Daily Mail\n\nElizabeth Elkind\n\nDecember 12, 2022\n\nHouse Republicans are warning the Biden administration that its plan to utilize US Air Marshals along the southern border will put \u2018the lives and safety of airline passengers at risk\u2019 over the holidays, according to a Monday letter obtained first by DailyMail.com.\n\nOhio GOP Rep. Mike Carey is leading a request for more information to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, whose department oversees both Customs and Border Patrol as well as the Transportation Security Agency \u2013 which runs the Federal Air Marshal Service.\n\nCarey\u2019s letter lists a series of questions for Mayorkas about the plan, including \u2018an estimate of the cost\u2019 of sending Air Marshals to the border, what they\u2019re working on, and what \u2013 if any \u2013 public safety evaluation was done before taking action.\n\nThe letter is co-signed by six other Republican members of Congress.\n\n\u2018As we enter one of the busiest travel times of the year, it is imperative that we have every Federal Air Marshal tending to their actual job rather than assisting in a problem your administration created and continues to ignore,\u2019 the lawmakers stated.\n\nThey also raise concerns about how the Biden administration\u2019s impending rollback of the COVID pandemic-era Title 42 expulsion policy would exacerbate the record surge of people trying to cross the border.\n\nAir Marshals are armed federal agents who are tasked with anonymously riding commercial airline flights, in case an emergency threat arises.\n\nThere are an estimated 3,000 Air Marshals in the United States.\n\nBiden\u2019s plan would reduce the force covering flights to just an eighth of its normal operating size, according to the Washington Examiner.

This letter was signed by Rep. Bryan Steil (WI), Rep. Bill Johnson (OH), Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (PA), and Rep. Victoria Spartz (IN).\n\nIn 2009, more than 20,000 Delphi Salaried Retirees lost portions of their retirement benefits in the aftermath of the General Motors bailout. Following the bankruptcy filing, the company surrendered its pension obligations to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) as part of its 2009 bankruptcy agreement. The Obama Administration then worked behind closed doors to slash the pensions promised to the 20,000 non-unionized salaried staff.\n\nThe Susan Muffley Act works to correct the egregious wrongs and injustices imposed upon the Delphi Salaried Retirees under the Obama Administration and must be considered in any potential year-end legislation.\n\nIn part, the lawmakers wrote, \u201cWith only one month left in the 117th Congress, passing the Susan Muffley Act must be a high priority. After 13 years of working to fix this injustice, Delphi Salaried Retirees should not have to start over again next Congress. It is imperative that the Senate finally pass the Susan Muffley Act and that President Biden signs the bill into law. Alternatively, the provisions of the Susan Muffley Act could be included in a year-end package. Congress must not remain silent in the face of the thousands of retirees devastated by this injustice.\u201d\n\nA signed copy of the letter can be found here, and a complete text is below.\n\nAs the House and Senate begin to consider must pass year-end legislation, we urge you to include the Susan Muffley Act as part of these legislative packages.\n\nAs you may know, while facing bankruptcy during the 2009 Great Recession, the Delphi Corporation was acquired by General Motors. As part of the General Motors bailout and restructuring, the Delphi employee pensions were turned over to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC). While General Motors supplemented the pensions of unionized hourly employees, over 20,000 Delphi Salaried Retirees saw their benefits unfairly slashed between 30 and 70 percent.\n\nIn July, the House passed the Susan Muffley Act (H.R. 6929) with a strong bipartisan majority. This legislation would remedy this injustice by restoring Delphi Salaried Retiree pension payments to their full value and providing the Delphi Salaried Retirees with backpay for their missed benefits, with interest. We strongly urge the passage of this critical legislation, either as a standalone bill or as part of any end of year must pass legislation to ensure it becomes law before the end of the 117th Congress.\n\nWith only one month left in the 117th Congress, passing the Susan Muffley Act must be a high priority. After 13 years of working to fix this injustice, Delphi Salaried Retirees should not have to start over again next Congress. It is imperative that the Senate finally pass the Susan Muffley Act and that President Biden signs the bill into law. Alternatively, the provisions of the Susan Muffley Act could be included in a year-end package. Congress must not remain silent in the face of the thousands of retirees devastated by this injustice.\n\nWe appreciate your attention to this time-sensitive matter and look forward to working with you to restore the Delphi Salaried Retirees\u2019 full benefits.\n\nBackground:\n\nThe \u201cSusan Muffley Act\u201d provides backpay for the pension payments that should have been received for the past 13 years via a lump sum payment equivalent to the difference between any benefits that have paid out and what retirees would have been paid without limitations, plus 6 percent interest. It would also restore full pension payments going forward as if never disrupted. There are more than 21 thousand Delphi retirees impacted by this legislation, with approximately 5,180 retirees residing in Ohio.\n\nSince 2009, Congressman Turner has been working closely with the Delphi Salaried Retiree Association (DRSA) to restore their benefits throughout the Obama, Trump and Biden Administrations.\n\nIn October 2020, at the urging of Congressman Turner, former President Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum directing the PBGC to examine the financial status of Delphi Salaried Retirees\u2019 pension fund and to investigate administrative or legislative pathways for the restoration of the fund.\n\nIn December 2021, Turner filed an Amicus Brief when the DSRA filed for Cert with the U.S. Supreme Court in the Dennis Black, et al. v. PBGC case. This past January the case was denied cert, thus Turner authored the \u201cSusan Muffley Act\u201d as the only option to wholly restore the pensions.\n\nIn July 2022, President Joe Biden issued a statement of administrative policy in support of the legislation that would restore the Delphi retirees\u2019 pensions.\n\nMost recently, the Susan Muffley Act passed the House with bipartisan support 254-175, but has faced roadblocks in the Senate.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:32:05Z"], ["https://turner.house.gov/2022/12/turner-secures-oh-10-wins-in-ndaa-to-improve-service-member-quality-of-life-and-modernize-our-military", "Turner secures OH-10 wins in NDAA to improve service member quality of life and modernize our military", "2022-12-08", "2022", "2022-12", "Republican", "House", "OH", "Michael R.

The new legislation would give the U.S. Department of Justice additional authority to pursue cases against suicide assistance forums, including a popular site recently covered by a New York Times investigation.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re facing a mental health crisis in our nation, and suicide \u2013 particularly among young people \u2013 is dangerously on the rise. The last thing we need right now is an online forum operating in the shadows of the internet that actively encourages and even assists people to die by suicide,\u201d said Congresswoman Trahan. \u201cSuicidal ideation must be met with mental health care and therapies focused on prevention \u2013 not real-time instructions and encouragement to die by suicide. This bipartisan legislation will finally ensure the Department of Justice has the authority necessary to target websites and users that push those in need of help toward self-harm instead.\u201d\n\n\u201cAs America\u2019s mental health crisis has escalated in recent years, so too has the rise of malicious actors seeking to take advantage of those who believe suicide is their only option,\u201d said Congressman Carey. \u201cOnline suicide assistance forums are making this crisis worse and it\u2019s time we take a stand by passing the Stop Online Suicide Assistance Forums Act to bring justice for the victims and hold these criminals accountable.\u201d\n\n\u201cIt is heartbreaking for families to lose a loved one to suicide and despicable that online forums would push people in crisis to attempt suicide,\u201d said Congresswoman Porter. \u201cCracking down on online suicide assistance forums will protect teens and young adults, who disproportionately make up the users for these sites and are most vulnerable to suicide.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis legislation has broad, bipartisan support for one simple reason: it\u2019s necessary,\u201d said Congressman Stewart. \u201cSuicide is an issue that hits home for everyone \u2013 it\u2019s a top ten cause of death nationwide, as well as in my home state. If we want to reverse this tragic trend, that means eliminating environments that work to keep us on the same path. Simply put, online suicide assistance forums have no place in our communities. It\u2019s time there be consequences for assisting another individual\u2019s suicide attempt. I\u2019m proud to introduce this legislation alongside my Democrat colleagues, and I\u2019m eager to continue our work toward a healthier nation.\u201d\n\nOnline suicide assistance forums, where people can find detailed instructions and real-time assistance on how to die by suicide, are attracting millions of viewers per month. Many of these sites have easily accessible pages championing highly lethal suicide methods and hundreds of threads pushing distressed users to attempt to die by suicide. A prominent feature of these sites are \u201cgoodbye threads\u201d, where a member actively declares their intention to die by suicide and often documents the process in real time, all while others provide advice and encouragement to advance the attempt.\n\nThe Stop Online Suicide Assistance Forums Act is simple. It establishes a felony offense for anyone who uses mail or interstate communication, including online forums, to intentionally assist in another individual\u2019s suicide attempt that results in death. The bipartisan legislation does not criminalize the act or attempt to die by suicide, and it does not impact state sanctioned physician-assisted end of life care.\n\nThe Stop Online Suicide Assistance Forums Act has been endorsed by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the American Psychological Association, Suicide Awareness Voices of Education, RI International, the American Association of Psychiatric Pharmacists, the Maternal Mental Health Leadership Alliance, and Inseparable.\n\n\u201cAFSP applauds Representative Trahan for taking bold action toward protecting those most at risk of dying by suicide,\u201d said Robert Gebbia, CEO of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. \u201cWe know that social media can be a powerful tool in uniting individuals and providing a sense of community, but it can also have dire consequences for those most vulnerable. Websites that encourage suicide and offer instructions are harmful, particularly to youth and young adults. This bill will enable DOJ to hold these website operators accountable for intentionally promoting dangerous content.\u201d\n\n\u201cAnyone who uses an online forum to promote, support, endorse, encourage and/or contribute to the attempted suicide or death by suicide of someone must be stopped or countless lives will be lost to malicious individuals,\u201d said Dr. Dan Reidenberg, CEO of Suicide Awareness Voices of Education. \u201cI fully support this legislation to try and prevent those with the intent on causing harm to others from doing so by imposing substantial penalties and hope others join this effort to SAVE more lives.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe American Association of Psychiatric Pharmacists (AAPP) is concerned that the national rate of suicide in the United States remains in an upward trajectory. AAPP applauds the introduction of the Stop Online Suicide Assistance Forums Act,\u201d said Brenda Schimenti, Executive Director of the American Association of Psychiatric Pharmacists. \u201cAs clinicians serving on mental health care teams, psychiatric pharmacists treat patients with severe mental illness screening for and potentially preventing suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Those experiencing suicidal ideation deserve safe, appropriate, and effective treatment.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe need to do everything we can to save lives and reduce the heartbreaking toll of suicide, including closing loopholes that allow online platforms to push people toward dying by suicide,\u201d said Bill Smith, President and Founder of Inseparable.\n\nA digital copy of the legislation as introduced can be accessed HERE.\n\nIf you or someone you know is having suicidal thoughts, feeling at risk of suicide, or experiencing a state of distress, it is crucial to find help immediately.

Their letter outlined several solutions to promote America\u2019s energy security.\n\nIn the letter members wrote:\n\n\"While millions of Americans are struggling to fill up their gas tanks, pay their electric bills, heat their homes and feed their families, it was disappointing to see your announcement this week to yet again play politics with our America's Strategic Petroleum Reserve. There is a better way, that will provide lasting energy price relief and security for American families. It is that our nation's abundant natural resources should be unleashed to provide homegrown solutions...\n\nMr. President, this winter, New England should get its natural gas from Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, not Trinidad & Tobago, and certainly not Russia. Americans should not have to rely on foreign natural gas imports because of a lack of adequate energy infrastructure to meet their needs. Increasing our nation's energy infrastructure is critical to ensuring we can meet our growing energy demands while continuing to reduce emissions. We need a holistic approach that includes additional pipelines and U.S. refining capacity..\n\nYour Administration should send a signal of support for the domestic production of oil and gas. Anything to the contrary will send mixed messages to the global community as to the stability and reliability of U.S. oil and natural gas supplies on the market.\"\n\nRead the full letter here.\n\nBackground:\n\nToday, gas prices in Ohio are up $0.50 compared to last year and the cost of heating a home is up 17 percent, costing households nearly $200 more this winter.

Regardless, Secretary Yellen has failed the American people.\u2019\n\nIt comes amid Republican-led criticism of the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act, which outside models have suggested would actually have a negligible impact on inflation despite Democrats\u2019 assurances that it could help slow rising costs.\n\nBiden critics argue that the vast climate and healthcare bill is ill-timed given the cost of consumer goods skyrocketing at levels not seen in four decades, while the Federal Reserve\u2019s bold interest rate hikes have spurred concerns that the economy could soon crash into a recession.\n\nIn Thursday\u2019s resolution, a draft of which was obtained by DailyMail.com, Republicans are specifically inquiring about the inflationary effects of Biden\u2019s bipartisan $1.2 trillion infrastructure law and progressives\u2019 Build Back Better bill.\n\nThe latter failed to pass in its original form, but parts were later revived to make up the Inflation Reduction Act \u2013 which approves more than $700 billion in federal spending.\n\nThe resolution would give Yellen two weeks to produce \u2018copies of any document, memorandum, correspondence, and other communication\u2019 that discusses the legislation\u2019s effect on inflation.\n\nVoter dissatisfaction with Biden\u2019s handling of the economy has been a cornerstone of the Republican bid to reclaim the House and Senate majorities in November\u2019s midterm elections.\n\nWhile the resolution is unlikely to pass in the current Democrat-controlled House of Representatives, it\u2019s another signal to voters from the GOP that they\u2019re keeping Americans\u2019 economic frustrations at the forefront just over a month before Election Day.\n\nIt\u2019s also a sign of where Republicans could put their investigative efforts next year if they win the House majority.\n\nSpeaking to CNBC late last year, Yellen dismissed concerns that the infrastructure law and progressives\u2019 bill \u2013 which had a $1.8 trillion price tag at the time \u2013 would impact the consumer price index.\n\n\u2018I don\u2019t think that these investments will drive up inflation at all,\u2019 she said in October 2021.\n\nThe inflation rate later hit a 40-year high of 9.1 percent in June.\n\nYellen also touted the economic effects of Biden\u2019s Inflation Reduction Act in a trip to North Carolina this week.\n\n\u2018The President\u2019s economic plan will strengthen our economy for decades to come,\u2019 Yellen said according to the Carolina Journal.\n\n\u2018It will make our economy more productive and resilient \u2013 and advance economic fairness for all Americans.\u2019\n\nShe has, however, also conceded on multiple occasions that the inflation rate is \u2018unacceptably high\u2019\n\nThe most recently available inflation data shows that costs rose an average 8.3 percent in August, despite plummeting gas prices at the pump.\n\nThe increase is chiefly driven by food and rent costs, which have soared since the economy began rebounding from the pandemic.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:08:33Z"], ["https://davidson.house.gov/2022/9/davidson-demands-va-protect-veterans-from-fraud", "Davidson Demands VA Protect Veterans From Fraud", "2022-09-22", "2022", "2022-09", "Republican", "House", "OH", "Warren Davidson", "D000626", "davidson.house.gov", "davidson", "https://davidson.house.gov/press-releases", "scraper", "WASHINGTON, D.C.\u2014Today, Congressman Warren Davidson (R-OH) led 59 of his colleagues in sending a letter to Secretary Denis McDonough and the Department of Veterans Affairs regarding increased fraudulent activity targeting veterans.\n\nThe PACT Act is the most significant expansion of VA healthcare in more than 30 years.

With inflation rates at historical highs, it is critical that Congress continue to ease the economic hardships and pass legislation that allows small businesses to flourish.\"\n\n\"The NFIB Guardian of Small Business Award is presented to members of Congress who have proven themselves to be real champions of small businesses,\" said NFIB President and CEO Brad Close. \"This Congress, small businesses emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic but faced continual threats of high inflation, workforce shortages, and supply chain disruptions. These NFIB Guardians demonstrated strong support of small businesses on key issues. NFIB is unique in that we only represent small and independent businesses, and our members decide our policy positions. We are proud to recognize the elected officials from the 117th Congress who earned this distinction by taking pro-small business votes that supported an extension of the Paycheck Protection Program and opposed tax increases, new mandates, increased legal liability, and problematic employment law revisions that would have threatened Main Street's economic recovery. NFIB commends Rep. Turner for earning the Guardian of Small Business Award.\n\nThroughout the 117th Congress, Turner has supported a number of bills to support small businesses and their employees, including the Paycheck Protection Program Act. In 2021, $820 million in federal assistance was awarded by the Small Business Administration to OH-10, which allowed for 7,300 local small businesses to receive loans. These loans helped support 1 in 3 jobs and retain as many as 35,562 jobs in the Miami Valley area.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:08:33Z"], ["https://turner.house.gov/2022/9/rep-turner-on-the-21st-anniversary-of-9-11", "Rep.

Turner also announced his intention to revitalize the Wright Company Factory through the federal appropriations process.\n\n\"In 2009, I had the Wright Company Factory placed under protection of the National Park Service and it seems only fitting we celebrate this historic site on the day the National Park Service was created in 1916.\" said Turner. \"I will continue to put forth legislation that bolsters the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Park and other historic sites in our communities to keep our history alive for future generations.\"\n\nLooking forward, as co-chair of the House Historic Preservation Caucus, Turner will be leading the charge in securing funds for the Wright Company Factory in West Dayton. The National Park Service's initial assessment of restoring the Wright Company Factory is an estimated cost of $20 million. So far, Dayton Aviation Heritage National Park has received $6 million in funds from the Dayton community for development of the park's campus. During Turner\u2019s time as Mayor of Dayton he found restoring historical sites brought economic growth and revitalization to communities. The restoration of the Wright Company Factory will increase economic development in West Dayton.\n\nJoyce serves as the Top Republican of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior, Environment and Related Agencies and oversees the federal funding that many historical preservation sites receive.\n\n\"It was great to join Congressman Turner today for such an informative tour of the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park,\u201d said Congressman Joyce. \u201cHistoric places like this site tell the story of America. By preserving them, we don\u2019t just keep our nation\u2019s cultural resources alive, but we also protect their patriotic significance, create jobs, and expand local economies. That\u2019s why, as the lead Republican in charge of funding for the Historic Preservation Fund and Heritage Partnership Programs, I\u2019m committed to preserving nationally significant museums, historic sites, and collections, especially those here in Ohio. It\u2019s critical that we continue to save the past so we can enrich the future.\u201d\n\nBackground on Turner's previous legislative efforts:\n\nOn March 24, 2009, Turner's historic preservation legislation passed the House of Representatives and soon after became law. The legislation placed Hawthorn Hill and the Wright Factory buildings in the Dayton area under the protection of the National Park Service. The legislation also authorized grants for local community organizations such as Dayton History to help with operating costs.\n\nIn December 2017, Turner's legislation, which renamed the John W. Berry Sr. Wright Brothers Aviation Center as the Wright Brothers National Museum, was signed into law after passing in the FY18 National Defense Authorization Act. Turner's efforts made Dayton the official birthplace of aviation.\n\nOn August 25, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the National Park Service Organic Act, establishing the National Park Service that allowed Turner nearly a century later to preserve these historic sites.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:59:24Z"], ["https://turner.house.gov/2022/8/turner-secures-10-million-for-new-national-advanced-air-mobility-center-of-excellence-at-springfield-beckley-airport", "Turner secures $10 Million for new National Advanced Air Mobility Center of Excellence at Springfield-Beckley Airport", "2022-08-23", "2022", "2022-08", "Republican", "House", "OH", "Michael R.

NAAMCE would be home to research and development opportunities on unmanned drones and electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft programs.\n\n\u201cThe National Advanced Air Mobility Center of Excellence will strengthen Ohio\u2019s growing defense industry and create new economic opportunities for the Springfield region,\u201d said Turner. \u201cSecuring federal funding to establish NAAMCE over the past 5 years has been a priority of mine in order to bring research and innovation initiatives, such as unmanned aircraft systems, to the Miami Valley. I will continue to work with local and state partners to secure additional resources for new capabilities and programs at the Springfield-Beckley Airport.\u201d\n\nBackground:\n\nAs a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, Turner began his efforts to bring new defense and research opportunities to the Springfield-Beckley Municipal Airport more than 4 years ago via the annual National Defense Authorization Acts (NDAA). The airport is home to the Springfield Air National Guard Base.\n\nIn the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 NDAA, Turner authored a provision requiring the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Department of Defense (DoD) to enhance collaboration to benefit research on unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) \u2013 commonly known as drones - at the airport.\n\nIn the FY19 NDAA Turner requested funding to create the NAAMCE under the Defense Community Infrastructure Program (DCIP). These grants were originally designed to address deficiencies in community infrastructure that are supportive of military installations in order to enhance military value, installation resilience, or military family quality of life. The DCIP grants were also targeted to rural communities of less than 50,000 residents.\n\nFunding for the NAAMCE was initially denied for two reasons: competitiveness of other sites in the country based on non-defined grant guidelines of DoD and the existing population cap. Springfield\u2019s approximate population was 59,000 at that time.\n\nIn response, Turner used the FY21 NDAA to refine DoD\u2019s funding criteria to place \u201cenhancing military value\u201d at the top priority and expanded the cap on participating rural communities to 100,000 residents. Turner\u2019s modification placed Springfield at a strategic advantage for the competitive grant program the following year that allowed him to secure a $6 million DCIP grant.\n\nIn the FY22 NDAA Turner secured an additional $4.7 million in federal funding for the base-wide microgrid at Springfield-Beckley Airport which will provide the infrastructure capabilities needed for the NAAMCE to conduct its operations.\n\nIn addition to the $10.7 million in federal funding secured, JobsOhio - a private economic development corporation - plans to support the project through the Ohio Site Inventory Program (OSIP). A multi-million dollar OSIP grant would cover site preparation, utility extensions, an access drive, and parking area for the facilities. The grant is awaiting final approval.\n\nThe National Advanced Air Mobility Center of Excellence is expected to be complete by June 2023.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:59:24Z"], ["https://davidson.house.gov/2022/8/davidson-leads-bill-to-prevent-student-loan-bailouts", "Davidson Leads Bill to Prevent Student Loan Bailouts", "2022-08-19", "2022", "2022-08", "Republican", "House", "OH", "Warren Davidson", "D000626", "davidson.house.gov", "davidson", "https://davidson.house.gov/press-releases", "scraper", "WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2014 Today, Congressman Warren Davidson (R-OH), joined by 12 of his colleagues, introduced the House companion bill to Senator Rick Scott\u2019s Debt Cancellation Accountability Act.

It serves around 40 percent of all infants born in the United States and accounts for half of formula consumption.\n\nUnder current law, states are required to contract with only one baby formula manufacturer for the WIC program. As a result, three companies, Abbott, Reckitt, and Gerber, provide 95 percent of the total baby formula supply nationwide.\n\nThe state of Ohio contracts with Mead Johnson, a division of Reckitt, to produce its Enfamil products. Its contract with Mead Johnson began in October 2021 and will be up for renewal in 2024. Ohio WIC contracts renew every 3-5 years and the state previously contracted with Gerber.\n\n75 percent of caregivers rely on formula, at least in part, to feed their children. Therefore, when one manufacturer stops operations, as Abbott did in February, there are shortages nationwide and caregivers cannot properly feed their children.\n\nAccording to the Wall Street Journal, as of July 2022, 30% of baby formulas products remained out of stock nationwide, with some states dropping below 60%.\n\nThe INFANT Act differs from previous legislation aimed at solving the baby formula crisis as it establishes both short-term solutions to increase baby formula supply and long-term provisions to prevent another shortage.

With gas prices and utility prices a record-highs nationwide, we are advocates for an all-of-the-above energy solution to meet our nation\u2019s needs through innovative solutions like nuclear energy,\u201d said Congressman Jeff Duncan- SC. \u201cWe believe in unleashing American energy production by utilizing our nation\u2019s vast natural resources and innovation, refusing to pick the winners and losers when it comes to energy production. Unleashing an all-of-the-above energy strategy will inevitably lower energy costs for Americans and strengthen our energy economy.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe must reject the Biden Administration's false notion that a cleaner environment can only be achieved at the peril of the United States\u2019 energy security and independence,\u201d said Congressman Troy Balderson-OH. \u201cWe are blessed to live in a country with such diverse and abundant energy resources.

Record-high gas prices and rising costs for consumers all point to the urgency of embracing our potential as a global energy leader,\u201d said Congressman Rick Allen-GA. \u201cTo reclaim our energy independence and return our nation to prosperity, Congress \u2014 and the Biden administration \u2014 must work to advance policies that put American energy first. We must have an all-of-the above energy portfolio, including nuclear and other critical alternative energy sources like we saw here today, but Democrats must also reverse course and acknowledge that oil and natural gas remain essential in delivering the baseload power necessary to sustain American homes, businesses, and livelihoods.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe United States has the resources needed to be an energy powerhouse. Whether it is a hydropower or nuclear plant in South Carolina, or the Bakken oil patch in North Dakota, we need to empower them to provide the energy Americans need, not burden them with endless and harmful regulations,\u201d said Congressman Armstrong-ND. \u201cI thank Congressman Duncan for leading this delegation of Republicans in highlighting our support for unleashing domestic energy production.\u201d\n\n\u201cAs Americans are facing intense financial pressures to fill their tanks and cool their homes, President Biden continues to insist on a one-size-fits-all approach to energy that allows Green New Deal zealots to pick winners and losers,\u201d said Congressman Ron Estes-KS. \u201cInstead, Republicans want to pursue an all-of-the-above strategy that provides clean, affordable energy options produced right here in the United States. It's clear that we have the capacity to expand energy production in our country, and it's the path that would provide the most benefit to consumers today and for decades to come.\u201d\n\n\u201cUnder this administration, gas prices have hit historic highs and energy costs are continuing to soar as a result of their radical and deeply flawed America last policies,\u201d said Congressman Drew Ferguson- GA. \u201cInstead of picking winners and losers in the energy industry, Republicans stand united in supporting the \u201call-of-the-above\u201d energy approach needed to ensure America is energy independent, and not subject to the uncertainty \u2013 and national security risks \u2013 of being reliant on foreign imports. I was pleased to join Rep. Jeff Duncan and my colleagues to learn about the work, research, and partnerships in the energy space taking place at Clemson University, along with touring a local hydro facility, the Oconee Nuclear Station, and the Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative. These energy programs and facilities are a prime example of how communities across America can utilize innovative solutions and natural resources to safeguard our energy sector.\u201d\n\n\u201cEnergy independence is crucial to our National Security, which is why we must utilize every resource we have at our disposal,\u201d said Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger- TN. \u201cNuclear, hydropower, and natural gas are all available to us on American soil! If the progressive climate warriors want clean energy, then here you go! These forms of energy are clean and efficient and can be acquired right here at home. This administration isn\u2019t anti-energy, they are anti-American energy. We cannot afford to turn to our adversaries to supply our energy needs when we can provide clean energy, create jobs, and protect our national security with \u201call of the above\u201d solutions here at home.\u201d\n\n\u201cAmerican families are suffering under misguided energy policies that have driven costs to record levels,\u201d said Congressman Richard Hudson- NC. \u201cInstead, we must pursue an all-of-the-above strategy and unleash American energy to bring down costs and defend our national security. I thank Congressman Duncan for leading a delegation to learn more about the domestic energy potential that exists throughout our nation.

Veterans need these records to access the VA benefits they earned while serving the country. Everything from medical care to student loans to burial services\u2014and even COVID vaccinations\u2014require proper documentation.\n\nIn April 2021, Rep. Davidson led a letter to President Biden and David Ferriero, Archivist of the United States National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) requesting immediate action to eliminate the significant backlog of veteran records requests.

Rosser Post Office.\"\n\nThe bill passed the House Tuesday afternoon and now advances to the Senate for further consideration.\n\nWatch Rep. Balderson's remarks from the House Floor and view the transcript below:\n\n\"Mister Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 4622 to designate the Roseville, Ohio Post Office as the 'Ronald E. Rosser Post Office.'\n\n\"The second-oldest of 17 siblings, Mr. Rosser always had a sense of duty to his family and country. First enlisting in the United States Army in 1946, Rosser served as a paratrooper for three years before returning home to Ohio to work as a coal miner.\n\n\"In February of 1951, he learned that his brother, Richard Rosser, was killed while fighting in the Korean War and immediately reenlisted to avenge his death.\n\n\"In Korea, Rosser served as a forward observer, attached to the Infantry Division known as the \"Iron Triangle.\" At 20 degrees below zero, they were sent on a mission to raid a Chinese Communist-held mountaintop outpost and dismantle their winter apparatus.\n\n\"Tragically, the operation went south as Rosser's group was met with fierce enemy fire. Heavily outnumbered, Rosser charged up the mountain with just a rifle and one grenade. He was able to suppress hundreds of enemy soldiers and returned to the bottom of the hill to advise the Captain to withdraw. Despite his wounds, he scaled the mountain - directly into opposing fire - several more times to rescue fellow soldiers.\n\n\"His actions that day were the embodiment of courage, valor, and patriotism.\n\n\"Upon his return home, Rosser was awarded the Medal of Honor in a White House Rose Garden ceremony led by President Harry S. Truman.\n\n\"After his military service, Rosser worked as a letter carrier for the United States Postal Service, advocated for veterans, and was inducted into the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame. Sadly, Mr. Rosser passed away - at age 90 - in August of 2020.\n\n\"Army Sgt. 1st Class Ronald E. Rosser was an American war hero and a Muskingum County icon who saved countless American lives during the Korean War and serves as an inspiration for us today \u2013 and will for many generations to come.\n\n\"It was an honor and a blessing for me to personally know Mr. Rosser.\n\n\"I want to thank Chairwoman Maloney and Representative Keller for their support in moving this bill forward, and I urge a yes-vote on H.R. 4266.\n\n\"Thank you, Mister Speaker.

This bipartisan legislation, which the lawmakers chose to introduce during PTSD Awareness Month, aims to help police, fire, emergency services and 911 personnel cope with the unique and immense stress they face on the job. Specifically, the bill would help establish mental health programs for America\u2019s law enforcement and first responders who often endure long-term challenges from providing life-saving services in moments of crisis. Senator Chuck Grassley has introduced the legislation in the Senate.\n\n\u201cEach day our first responders face immense stress and heavy responsibilities as they keep our communities safe. When they need our help, it is our duty to respond. The Fighting Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Actwill provide our first responders with the mental health support they rightly deserve when they need it,\u201dsaid Congressman Turner. \u201cAs Mayor and now in Congress, I have worked alongside our first responders to make sure they have the professional and personal resources needed to safely do their jobs. This bipartisan legislation continues that effort.\u201d\n\n\u201cPolice officers and other public safety personnel are the first line of defense in our communities when disaster strikes,\u201d said Congressman Joyce. \u201cUnfortunately, the danger and stress they face on the job doesn\u2019t just disappear when they\u2019re off the clock. I\u2019m proud to introduce this bill to ensure law enforcement officers and first responders have access to the mental health care they need to cope with trauma they face while selflessly serving our communities. I thank my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for joining me in this important effort and urge the rest of the House to support this bipartisan bill so that the men and women who risk their lives to save others are able to get the care they need.\u201d\n\n\u201cWhile serving on the frontlines protecting our communities, our police officers and first responders often face traumatic situations that can leave them with invisible wounds,\u201d said Rep. Brown. \u201cIn fact, as many as 15 percent of all officers in the U.S. suffer from PTSD, which takes a toll on their well-being and impacts their decision making. This long overdue bipartisan legislation would bring us one step closer to ensuring our public safety officers can access much-needed mental health resources for PTSD.\u201d\n\n\u201cOur first responders and law enforcement officers put their lives on the line to protect our communities and this service can take a tremendous toll,\u201d said Congresswoman Ross. \u201cThese careers often pose serious physical and mental risks, resulting in higher rates of post-traumatic stress disorder and related mental illnesses than in the general population. This bipartisan bill will ensure that public servants who are delivering life-saving aid have access to the resources and care they need to stay healthy and continue protecting communities in North Carolina and across the country.\u201d\n\nPolice officers, firefighters, emergency medical technicians, and 911 dispatchers routinely encounter high-stress situations, making them more likely to suffer from PTSD and less likely to receive help for their illness than the average American. In fact, it is estimated that as many as 15% of public safety officers currently working suffer from PTSD, with documented rates higher among female officers. Despite these statistics, only 3-5% of the 18,000 police departments across the country have suicide prevention training programs. A 2019 Office of Community Oriented Policing Services report found that many law enforcement agencies do not have the capacity, funding, or local access to mental health professionals necessary to support their officers.\n\nIn an effort to reverse these statistics and direct federal resources to law enforcement agencies to better support America\u2019s local heroes struggling with PTSD, the Fighting Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Act would require the Attorney General to establish at least one evidence-based treatment and preventative care program within the Department of Justice to help public safety officers with job-related PTSD.\n\nThe legislation would also require the Attorney General to consult relevant stakeholders while crafting the program(s), including federal, state, tribal, territorial, and local agencies employing public safety officers as well as non-governmental organizations that support law enforcement officers and their families. By doing so, this bipartisan legislation lays the groundwork for much-needed action aimed at offering increased support to law enforcement officers and first responders struggling with PTSD.\n\nYou can read the full bill text here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:39:01Z"], ["https://turner.house.gov/2022/6/turner-hosts-wright-patterson-regional-council-of-governments", "Turner Hosts Wright-Patterson Regional Council of Governments", "2022-06-02", "2022", "2022-06", "Republican", "House", "OH", "Michael R.

Mellino uses Intel\u2019s recent announcement to argue for incentivizing renewable energy production (and reliance) in Ohio\u2013all while ignoring the massive benefits of natural gas for Ohio\u2019s consumers, the environment, and job growth.\n\nThe argument is tone-deaf to the need for reliable base load energy as Ohioans see skyrocketing energy costs and rising prices at the pump. We\u2019ve also seen the stark reality unfolding in Europe, as Vladimir Putin wages an unjust and illegal war in Ukraine. When green-at-all-cost advocates in Europe shut off nuclear and fossil fuel power generation years ago, without concern for their own baseload needs, they found themselves beholden to the likes of Putin for oil and natural gas. We cannot allow ourselves to fall victim to their same fate.\n\nI applaud Intel\u2019s announcement of an initial $20 billion investment, putting Licking County at the epicenter of a new Silicon Heartland, and Ohio at the forefront of lessening our reliance on China and other countries for semiconductors, which are vital to both our national security and our economy. I also support the decision by Intel to set goals for renewable generation. Doing so is aspirational but also acknowledges a reality ignored by many \u2014 that renewables fall short and blindly flipping the switch would increase \u2014 not lessen \u2014 our reliance on bad actors.\n\nChina supplies many of the key components in solar panels, including more than 80 percent of the world\u2019s polysilicon, a raw material that most solar panels use to absorb energy from sunlight. In 2019, less than 5 percent of the world\u2019s polysilicon came from American-owned companies. We have a long way to go.\n\nIf the U.S. wants to compete in renewables, we must bring critical production back home, not increase investments in Chinese technology. That is just one reason the Intel announcement is so profound \u2013 it is a crucial step in reclaiming U.S. manufacturing leadership on the world stage, albeit in semiconductors, not solar panels. Reclaiming American manufacturing leadership in one area \u2014 only to sacrifice it in another \u2014 is counterproductive.\n\nOthers will surely follow, but the reality is, going fully renewable is not ready for prime time. That\u2019s why I favor an all-of-the-above approach to meeting the power generation needs of Ohio\u2019s growing economy. This includes both renewables and natural gas, which is clean, affordable, and abundant \u2014 and it\u2019s right here in Ohio. By setting reasonable long-term goals, companies like Intel allow themselves the flexibility of meeting their initial power needs while working to responsibly transition to renewables.\n\nTransition is the operative word. While renewable technologies continue to develop, Ohio is uniquely positioned as a leader thanks to an abundant supply of natural gas. It is estimated that the Marcellus and Utica shale deposits combined have a total of 214 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas. Natural gas that can power the country in addition to reducing the carbon dioxide emissions of Ohio\u2019s electric generation by 38 percent.\n\nWe must reject the false notion that a cleaner environment can only be achieved at the peril of the United States' energy security and independence. That means avoiding the dangerous green-at-all-cost rhetoric that ultimately led to the predicament that Europe now faces. At both the local level and geopolitical level, energy transitions must be guided by reality, not rhetoric.\n\nThis column appeared in the Columbus Dispatch on Friday, April 8, 2022.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:19:30Z"], ["https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2270", "Balderson: Rescinding Title 42 Creates a Payday for Drug Cartels, Nightmare for Law Enforcement", "2022-04-07", "2022", "2022-04", "Republican", "House", "OH", "Troy Balderson", "B001306", "balderson.house.gov", "balderson", "https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27&Page=10", "scraper", "WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Troy Balderson issued the following statement today criticizing the Biden Administration's recent decision to rescind Title 42, an effective Trump-era mechanism helping to prevent illegal entries:\n\nSince October 1, 2021, more than 1 million migrants have been apprehended at the southern border. An estimated 300,000 illegal immigrants, known as \"got-aways,\" have managed to evade border patrol officers and entered the country illegally.\n\nBorder Patrol officials estimate they have enough personnel to effectively manage up to 5,000 encounters per day.

The security of the free world depends on a credible American military. We must work together to ensure the men and women of our Armed Services have the resources and support they need to successfully carry out their missions now and for decades to come.\u201d\n\nThe full letter can be read here and below:\n\nDear President Biden,\n\nAs you prepare your fiscal year 2023 (FY23) budget for submission to Congress, we strongly encourage you to reject the approach you took last year when you proposed to cut defense spending below the rate of inflation. Instead, we urge you to request a 5 percent increase over the inflation-adjusted FY22 enacted level.\n\nSince the publication of the 2018 National Defense Strategy, and particularly over the past year, the threats to our national security have grown exponentially. Unprecedented Chinese military modernization has left us behind in key areas in the Western Pacific, and each day the Chinese Communist Party more clearly shows us that its interests are diametrically opposed to ours.\n\nPutin\u2019s aggression against Ukraine has already left us and our NATO allies less secure, and his appetite and erratic behavior is likely to grow. There is much more work to do in Eastern Europe to secure the peace.\n\nYour decision to unconditionally withdraw U.S. forces from Afghanistan allowed terrorist organizations to regain their capability to strike the American homeland. Similarly, little progress has been made to deter the North Koreans, and Iranian aggression has escalated, with the potential for further escalation in the near future.\n\nWe understand that despite these threats to our national security, many on the left continue to encourage you to cut or freeze spending on our national defense. As you know, during consideration of the FY22 National Defense Authorization Act and the FY22 Consolidated Appropriations Act, overwhelming bipartisan majorities in both houses of Congress voted to reject that short-sighted approach. Instead, Congress acted in a bipartisan manner to provide nearly $30 billion more than you requested. We hope that action convinces you that overwhelming political support exists for increasing immediate investment in our national defense.\n\nWe also urge you to use your FY23 budget request to target investments in programs that will modernize the force and fill ongoing readiness gaps. Specifically, it is imperative that we improve force proficiency on new battlefields such as cyber; continue work at DoD and the National Nuclear Security Administration to modernize our nuclear triad; grow our naval and projection forces; and quickly incorporate the latest innovations and enhancements into warfighting capabilities, including air and sealift, space, missile defense, munitions, and electronic warfare.\n\nFinally, in order to protect the buying power of these investments, we need to ensure the budget achieves real growth. Not since 1982 has our nation experienced this level of inflation. It is driving up the cost of fuel, supplies, and labor for the defense industrial base and the Department of Defense. Failing to provide a budget request that exceeds the rate of inflation equates to a cut in real dollars \u2014 a cut we can no longer afford.\n\nThis is a crucial period for our national security. If we do not make the investments our military needs today, we will not be able to defend our nation or our allies in the future. The security of the free world depends on a credible American military. We must work together to ensure the men and women of our Armed Services have the resources and support they need to successfully carry out their missions now and for decades to come.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:06:17Z"], ["https://turner.house.gov/2022/3/turner-s-statement-on-the-passing-of-secretary-madeleine-albright", "Turner's statement on the passing of Secretary Madeleine Albright", "2022-03-23", "2022", "2022-03", "Republican", "House", "OH", "Michael R.

The lawsuit, Massie et al v. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, seeks to end the CDC's illegal mask mandate for individuals traveling on commercial airlines. Massie's lawsuit takes on additional significance in the face of news reports indicating the Biden Administration is extending the CDC's mask mandate until April 18.\n\n\"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not have the legal authority to force people traveling on commercial airlines to wear masks,\" said Rep. Thomas Massie. \"Congress never passed a law requiring masks on commercial flights. This lawsuit targets the faceless bureaucrats who are behind the CDC's unscientific regulation so that this illegal mask mandate can be brought to a permanent end.\"\n\nMassie et al v. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention contains two primary claims:\n\nFirst, none of the statutes or regulations cited by the CDC for the authority to mandate that individuals wear masks on commercial airlines, conveyances, and at transportation hubs, permit the CDC to implement or enforce this mandate.\n\nSecond, even if Congress had granted the CDC the authority to promulgate the mask mandate, the granting of this authority would violate a principle known as the \"non-delegation doctrine.\"\n\nRepresentative Massie and his co-plaintiffs are asking a federal court to declare that \"the mask mandate is beyond the CDC\u2019s statutory authority or is unconstitutional.\" Further, the plaintiffs seek an injunction that prohibits the CDC, or anyone acting on the CDC's behalf, from enforcing the mask mandate.\n\nIn addition to Rep. Davidson (R-OH), fifteen Republicans have signed on to Massie et al v. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as co-plaintiffs. They are: Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Rep.

Warren Davidson. \"The CDC lacks the legal authority to make law, it hasn\u2019t used rule-making consistent with the Administrative Procedures Act, and shouldn\u2019t be able to use coercion to compel airlines or TSA to enforce its mandates.\"\n\n\"I\u2019ve been leading the charge in the Senate to end these unscientific, unconstitutional mask mandates, and am proud to continue the fight by joining Rep. Massie on this effort,\" Sen. Rand Paul said.\n\n\"The CDC\u2019s mask mandate does not protect public health and is beyond the agency\u2019s statutory authority,\" said Rep. Andy Biggs. \"That\u2019s why nearly a year ago I introduced H.R.4441 - Travel Mask Mandate Repeal Act of 2021 that repealed mask mandates on public transportation. CDC\u2019s tyrannical bureaucrats must be held accountable for placing anti-science restrictions on individuals who have faced hardship for some time now. Mask mandates are old news, and are only being kept in place by those who relish controlling our day-to-day lives.\"\n\n\"The CDC\u2019s arbitrary mask mandate has caused so much damage to this country. There was never any science behind their mandate, and now it's time for America to officially close the chapter on the CDC's political science charade. I\u2019m proud to join Rep.

Dan Bishop said.\n\n\"From asthmatic toddlers to elderly grandmothers, millions of Americans have been subject to Joe Biden\u2019s mask mandate on planes, even while liberal politicians fly maskless on their private jets,\" said Rep. Brian Mast. \"The CDC\u2019s refusal to let go of the power and end this unscientific, big government edict has forced us to take action. I\u2019m confident that the judicial system will see this for what it is: an unconstitutional overreach that never should have been allowed in the first place.\"\n\n\"Government bureaucrats desperate for relevancy are waging a war against everyday American citizens and their constitutional freedoms,\" said Rep. Barry Moore. \"The unscientific mask mandate for commercial air travel should be ended immediately, and I am proud to join my friend Rep. Massie in this lawsuit to end this charade permanently.\"\n\n\"The CDC has forced Americans to wear masks on commercial flights for two years without legal standing. A mandate is not law, and Congress never passed legislation codifying the CDC\u2019s mask wearing demands,\" said Rep. Matt Rosendale. \"It is unconstitutional for the Director of the CDC to suppress the freedoms of the American people in such a way, and political pressure to control the fearmongering narrative of COVID-19 needs to end.\"\n\n\"From the start of the pandemic, the CDC has issued arbitrary and brazenly politicized guidance that was not authorized by Congress,\" said Rep. Chip Roy. \"Never was this more obvious than at the State of the Union where attendees were told they could go mask-less just days before the CDC renewed its mask mandate on public transportation.

Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Gary Peters (D-MI) and Rob Portman (R-OH) are introducing partner legislation in the Senate.\n\n\u201cThe Delphi Salaried Retirees were robbed of their hard-earned benefits when the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation terminated their pension plans in 2009,\u201d said Congressman Turner. \u201cToday, we stand united in demanding moral and legal justice for the thousands of retirees who have yet to see some or all of their pensions. Congress must pass the Susan Muffley Act so we can finally repay these men and women what they are rightfully owed.\u201d\n\nFor over a decade, the Delphi Salaried Retirees have been fighting to restore their benefits. In September 2009, the Delphi Salaried Retirees Association (DSRA) filed a lawsuit against the PBGC to restore their pension benefits. After losing decisions at lower courts, the DSRA petitioned to take their case to the U.S. Supreme Court. Now that the U.S. Supreme Court recently denied this request, congressional action is the only option for restoring their pensions.\n\nThe legislation is named after Susan Muffley who was part of the DSRA\u2019s core leadership in the effort to restore their pensions. Her husband, David, worked at Delphi as an electronics technician for 31 years, but lost the full value of his pension in 2009. Despite health problems, Susan avoided seeing her doctor given her family\u2019s financial constraints due to losing their pension. She was ultimately diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and passed away on August 9, 2012.\n\n\u201cIf you work hard and play by the rules, you should be able to retire with dignity,\u201d said Congressman Kildee. \u201cThe government rescued GM but left these workers hanging. That\u2019s why what happened to the Delphi Salaried Retirees is such an injustice. These hardworking retirees have waited too long to receive the benefits they earned, and I am proud to introduce legislation today to finally deliver.\n\n\u201cAfter years of work by workers and retirees Ohio and Michigan, it\u2019s past time to restore the full benefits of the Delphi Salaried Retirees,\u201d said Senator Brown. \u201cI\u2019ll keep working with members of both parties and the White House to get results for these retirees.\u201d\n\n\u201cMichiganders who have worked hard their entire lives and played by the rules deserve the benefits they earned,\u201d said Senator Peters. \u201cTo deny workers the ability to retire with dignity after a committed career, is entirely unacceptable. I\u2019m proud to support this legislation that will restore the benefits that thousands of Michiganders were promised.\u201d\n\n\u201cI am pleased to introduce bipartisan, bicameral legislation with Senator Brown to reinstate the Delphi Salaried Pension Plan so that these retirees can finally receive the benefits they worked so hard to earn,\u201d said Senator Portman. \u201cIn 2009, the Delphi Salaried Pension Plan was terminated, leaving the long-term financial security of the nearly 20,000 salaried employees at Delphi in jeopardy. It is time to correct this unfair action.\u201d\n\n\u201cI\u2019ve been working tirelessly for over a decade to restore the pensions of the Delphi retirees, and now with this bipartisan legislation we will finally provide them with the retirement benefits that they have always deserved,\u201d said Congressman Ryan. \u201cThe favorable resolution that this legislation provides has been too long in the making, and I encourage my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to join us in support. It is the right thing to do.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe are grateful to Representatives Dan Kildee, Tim Ryan, Mike Turner, Marcy Kaptur and Bill Johnson, Debbie Dingell and Warren Davidson and also to Senators Sherrod Brown, Debbie Stabenow, Gary Peters and Rob Portman and all those elected officials who stand up for fair and equitable treatment for all American workers. If it passes, this bill will restore fairness and dignity in retirement. It will relieve the suffering of thousands of salaried and hourly workers who were left behind after GM filed for bankruptcy. It will greatly help their families and their communities also. This is very important and necessary legislation. Thank you to all those who are working to help pass this bill,\u201d said Bruce Gump, Chair of the Delphi Salaried Retiree Association.\n\nThere are over 20,000 affected Delphi retirees across the country, including:\n\nOhio: 5,181\n\nMichigan: 5,859\n\nIndiana: 4,044\n\nNew York: 2,337\n\nFlorida: 801\n\nTexas: 564\n\nAlabama: 564\n\nWisconsin: 405\n\nMississippi: 387\n\nArizona: 198\n\nNorth Carolina: 156\n\nTennessee: 156\n\nCalifornia: 153\n\nSouth Carolina: 147\n\nGeorgia: 141\n\nPennsylvania: 117\n\nOther States: 672\n\nCongressmen Turner, Kildee and Ryan formed the Congressional Task Force on Delphi Pensions in 2013 to help these hardworking retirees get the earned benefits they deserve.

The American people, through their representatives in Congress, deserve to have a say before U.S. troops are placed in harm\u2019s way or the U.S. becomes involved in yet another foreign conflict.\u201d\n\nErik Sperling, executive director of the advocacy organization Just Foreign Policy commented on the letter, \u201cWith the risk of war over Ukraine escalating rapidly, this level-headed bipartisan letter reaffirming that only Congress can authorize military action is very timely. While the Biden administration has ruled out sending additional troops, even allowing U.S. advisers and special forces to remain in harm's way in Ukraine without authorization creates the potential for direct conflict between the world\u2019s leading nuclear powers. Regardless of one\u2019s view on how the U.S. should respond to tensions over Ukraine, these are precisely the critical questions that the framers of our Constitution sought to entrust to the American people through their representatives in Congress.\u201d\n\nMarcus Stanley, Advocacy Director for the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft stated, \"A direct military conflict between the two largest nuclear powers on Russia's border would be incredibly risky and dangerous. The Biden Administration has wisely stated its intent to avoid U.S. military involvement in the Ukraine conflict, but the situation on the ground is chaotic. It is critical that the President get explicit and official Congressional authorization before taking any steps involving U.S. military personnel in Ukraine, as required by the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution.\"\n\nCavan Kharrazian, Foreign Policy Campaigner for Demand Progress said, \"We applaud the signatories of this letter for rightfully asserting Congress's jurisdiction over the involvement of US armed forces in hostilities. By no means should the President put American troops \u2014 including embedded military advisors and special forces \u2014 into harm's way in Ukraine without a debate and vote in Congress. While Congress remains divided on many issues, we are glad to see such a diverse range of representatives defending our Constitutional system of checks and balances when it comes to war.\"\n\nThe letter to President Biden reasserts the war powers authority vested in Congress under the Constitution and U.S. law, including the War Powers Resolution of 1973. Article I of the U.S. Constitution grants Congress the power to finance and declare war, and the War Powers Resolution states that Congressional authorization is required before the \u201cintroduction of United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances.\u201d\n\nThe lawmakers urge President Biden to make the case to Congress before involving the U.S. military in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Following introduction, the members released the following statements:\n\n\u201cThe Due Process Continuity of Care Act helps address the opioid misuse crisis by fixing an unconstitutional flaw in our Medicaid system. The current Medicaid Inmate Exclusion Policy perpetuates a dangerous cycle of treatment interruption and recidivism. I am proud to support this reform that provides pretrial inmates the medical treatment they need to recover from opioid abuse disorders,\u201d said Congressman Turner. \u201cSeizing Medicaid coverage from pre-trial detainees, who experience higher rates of mental health and substance use disorders, is destabilizing and counterproductive,\u201d said Congressman David Trone (D-MD-06).\n\n\u201cNot only does this policy hurt these vulnerable populations, but it also disproportionately affects low-income folks who are unable to pay bonds. This bill would bridge those inequities and allow for a more humane, more just pre-trial health care system.\u201d \u201cFor the more than approximately 20% of inmates in our nation\u2019s jails with mental illness and substance use disorder (SUD), treatment isn\u2019t a luxury, it\u2019s a necessity.

It\u2019s time we fixed this oversight and ensure these individuals have a chance to heal.\u201d \u201cFor years, I\u2019ve worked to advance bipartisan legislation that expands access to addiction treatment and delivers needed support to our most vulnerable communities,\u201d said Congressman Tonko (D-NY-20). \u201cThe Due Process Continuity of Care Act builds powerfully on this effort by ensuring that people not convicted of a crime retain lifesaving Medicaid coverage. I am proud to introduce this legislation that will reduce recidivism, protect due process, and save lives.\u201d\n\nBackground: This bill amends the Medicaid Inmate Exclusion Policy to ensure that states have the option to provide Medicaid coverage for pre-trial detainees. Additionally, the bill provides $50 million in planning grant dollars for the HHS Secretary to award to states with the goal of providing additional support to state, county and local jails for implementing this policy, improving the quality of care provided in jails and enhancing the network of available providers to treat this population. U.S. Senators Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), and Ed Markey (D-MA) introduced mirror legislation in the Senate last year.

Balderson's remarks as delivered on the House Floor:\n\nMister Speaker, I rise today to express my concerns with H.R. 4521.\n\nI want to talk for a moment not about China, but about Licking County, Ohio \u2014 in the district I represent.\n\nLicking County - located on the outskirts of Columbus - was cast into the national spotlight last month when a major U.S. tech company announced an initial $20 billion investment to build the first phase of what they plan to grow into the world\u2019s largest semiconductor manufacturing facility.\n\nThis investment will put Licking County at the epicenter of a new Silicon Heartland and at the forefront of addressing the nation\u2019s semiconductor shortage.\n\nThis investment will have an economic ripple effect throughout the region. Indeed, it will benefit our entire country.\n\nSemiconductor chips are crucial components to products Americans use and rely on every day, including cars, computers, cell phones, and virtually every electronic device in our homes.\n\nSince the early 1990s, the United States' share of semiconductor manufacturing has fallen from 37 percent to just 12 percent today.\n\nAsian countries now account for more than 70 percent of semiconductor chip manufacturing globally.\n\nThe COVID-19 pandemic and its following supply chain disruptions have brought this issue to the forefront for every American.\n\nOne concern for Americans in the market for a new car is the empty lots at dealerships as automobile production lines wait for chips from Asia.\n\nFailing to address the shortage of semiconductor chips could have dire consequences for our national security.\n\nWith production of U.S. military defense systems dependent upon access to these chips, over-reliance on foreign countries leaves U.S. national security interests vulnerable too.\n\nWe cannot allow ourselves to be held hostage by the imbalance of foreign chip production.\n\nThe United States is not alone.\n\nOther countries are waking up to this reality too.\n\nAs I speak, the European Union is developing CHIPS legislation in an effort to quadruple their production of semiconductor CHIPS by 2030.\n\nFalling further behind in chip manufacturing is a national security issue that we just can\u2019t afford.\n\nI am honored to represent a community that will soon play a leading role in addressing the global chip shortage and producing these vital components to our modern economy.\n\nI am excited that we have an opportunity to help grow U.S. manufacturing of chips to epic proportions with a much-needed investment.\n\nThe CHIPS act investment will level the playing field and let U.S. manufacturers compete in this market.\n\nBut once again, Democrat leadership is doing it the wrong way.\n\nMy constituents - and all Americans - were hopeful that the Majority here in Congress had learned from their recent failures about what happens when these packages become too big, too costly, and too partisan.\n\nThe CHIPS Act presents Congress with a golden opportunity to FINALLY pass a bipartisan, common-sense investment that would bolster American competitiveness on the world stage.\n\nUnfortunately, the CHIPS Act constitutes a small fraction of the bill\u2019s overall price tag, which is over $300 billion.\n\nInstead, House Democrats worked behind closed doors - with no Republican input - and managed to bury good provisions under a mountain of unrelated policies that have nothing to do with American competitiveness.\n\nIn their hasty attempt at a partisan victory, the Democrats\u2019 bill:\n\nFunnels $8 billion to the unaccountable U.N. Green Climate Fund, which has already given $100 million to the Chinese Communist Party\n\nPours billions of dollars into offshore Climate Change Resiliency programs instead of holding China - the world\u2019s worst polluter - accountable for its own destructive emission standards\n\nCreates unlimited visas and immigration pathways for Chinese nationals with STEM degrees\n\nThis allows the CCP to handpick which Chinese nationals apply for visas and opens the door for the CCP to use unlimited visas to engage in espionage and theft of sensitive technologies.\n\nCreates \u201cClimate Change Officers\u201d within the Foreign Service, weakening our diplomats\u2019 focus on our core national interests.\n\nIn an effort to improve this bill, I offered common-sense amendments to encourage domestic manufacturing of critical products.\n\nI also offered amendments to remove the billions of dollars in partisan spending for global green new deal programs and shift focus on what this bill should be about.\n\nMister Speaker, the bill before us today is proof House Democrats learned nothing from their disastrous Build Back Better blunder.\n\nRather than allowing American economic competitiveness to be a rallying point for bipartisanship, the Majority\u2019s all-or-nothing approach makes this yet another missed opportunity.\n\nIf this bill advances to the conference committee, I am hopeful that conferees will focus on areas of bipartisan, bicameral agreement, like the CHIPS Act.\n\nIt\u2019s past time to bolster this production here at home.\n\nI urge my colleagues to stop with the messaging bills and bring a piece of legislation to the Floor that can win strong, bi-partisan support.\n\nTogether, we can ensure that the serious business of American competitiveness gets the careful consideration and support that it deserves.\n\nMister Speaker, I yield back.\n\n###\n\nRelated News\n\nBalderson Statement on the End of the Democrat Shutdown\n\nNovember 12, 2025 | Posted in Press Releases\n\nBalderson Sees Opportunity in Grant Announcement for Intel Ohio\n\nMarch 20, 2024 | Posted in Press Releases\n\nBalderson Recap: Looking Back at 2023\n\nDecember 30, 2023 | Posted in Press Releases\n\nProtecting consumer choice and standing up to Biden\u2019s EV mandate\n\nDecember 15, 2023 | Posted in Articles\n\nBalderson Applauds Passage of Bill Blocking the Ban of Gas-Powered Vehicles\n\nSeptember 15, 2023 | Posted in Press Releases", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:57:46Z"], ["https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2243", "Balderson Joins Bipartisan Group of Lawmakers to Introduce Commercial Driver's License Reforms", "2022-02-02", "2022", "2022-02", "Republican", "House", "OH", "Troy Balderson", "B001306", "balderson.house.gov", "balderson", "https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27&Page=10", "scraper", "WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2013 Congressman Troy Balderson (OH-12) introduced a bipartisan, bicameral bill today to address the nation\u2019s ongoing supply chain shortages by eliminating regulatory barriers preventing eligible drivers from entry into the trucking workforce.\n\n\u201cThis legislation eliminates regulatory barriers to filling in-demand truck driver jobs,\u201d said Congressman Balderson. \u201cI\u2019m proud to support making these common sense waivers permanent. Doing so provides much-needed relief for our truckers and will help to ensure products arrive on-time to doorsteps and store shelves across the country.\u201d\n\nThe Licensing Individual Commercial Exam-takers Now Safely and Efficiently (LICENSE) Act, streamlines burdensome licensing regulations by making permanent several waivers that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) implemented in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic last November.\n\nRep. Balderson is joined by Reps. Darin LaHood (R-IL), Henry Cuellar (D-TX), and Josh Harder (D-CA) as the legislation\u2019s lead sponsors in the U.S. House of Representatives. The Senate companion bill was introduced by Senators Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) and Mark Kelly (D-Arizona).\n\nThe bill would allow state and third-party examiners previously authorized to administer the commercial driver\u2019s license (CDL) skills test to also administer the CDL knowledge test without having to complete the training course. This will help get additional drivers on the road faster without compromising safety.\n\nThe bill would allow states to administer driving skills tests to applicants from other states. This will streamline the credentialing process and allow future truckers to get tested where they live rather than only where they received their training.\n\n\u201cOne of the first steps towards fixing our current supply chain crises is to increase the number of truck drivers delivering goods to stores around the country,\u201d said Senator Lummis. \u201cAs a rural state, Wyoming is particularly reliant on trucking, but streamlining commercial driver\u2019s licensing and getting rid of overly burdensome regulations will benefit everyone, whether you live in Manhattan or Cheyenne. I\u2019m proud to work with my fellow western senator, Mark Kelly, to reform the licensing process for America\u2019s truckers.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe pandemic continues to impact our supply chains and Arizonans are feeling the strain of higher prices at the supermarket and the gas pump. Our bipartisan bill cuts red tape and boosts our trucking workforce so we can safely and quickly deliver essential supplies and goods across the country. I will continue to ensure the federal government uses every available tool to strengthen our economy and bring down costs for Arizonans,\u201d said Senator Kelly.\n\n\u201cSome of the biggest issues I hear about in central and west-central Illinois are worker and trucking shortages,\u201d said Congressman LaHood. \u201cAs we face unprecedented supply chain challenges, this legislation will help streamline the process to obtain a commercial driver\u2019s license and reduce unnecessary red tape. The downstream economic effects of the driver shortage are immeasurable and American families continue to face further disruption in the delivery of groceries, medical supplies, and business inventories across the nation. I am proud to join this bipartisan and bicameral group to introduce this commonsense legislation that will give companies the ability to hire qualified, safe drivers and strengthen the economy in Illinois.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe LICENSE Act is a critical piece of legislation that will help alleviate stressors on the supply chain and remove burdensome regulatory barriers to obtaining commercial driver\u2019s licenses,\u201d said Congressman Cuellar. \u201cAs we look to recover from the pandemic, we must adapt and innovate to the needs of our growing economy. These waivers make our roads safer while removing unnecessary red tape. As the representative for the largest land port of entry, I will continue to prioritize the needs of our truckers who are essential to the success of our national economy.\u201d\n\n\u201cI\u2019m laser focused on making it affordable to raise a family in the Valley. Right now the cost of everything from groceries to gas is just plain out of control and we have to fix it,\u201d said Congressman Harder. \u201cThis bill cuts through the red tape and gets more truck drivers on the road. More drivers means lower shipping costs, and lower shipping costs means families can actually afford what they need at the grocery store. I\u2019m proud to join my Republican and Democratic friends in introducing this bill.\u201d\n\nThe American Trucking Associations endorsed the bill, noting, \u201cIn the context of the current supply chain disruptions, the LICENSE Act is a sensible remedy to the unnecessary regulatory barriers that make the CDL training and testing process so arduous.\u201d\n\nTo read the American Trucking Associations\u2019 letter of support for the bill, click here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:57:46Z"], ["https://turner.house.gov/2022/1/turner-statement-on-dayton-being-selected-as-home-of-snc-aircraft-facilities", "Turner Statement on Dayton being selected as Home of SNC Aircraft Facilities", "2022-01-31", "2022", "2022-01", "Republican", "House", "OH", "Michael R.
