Congressman Riley M. Moore proudly voted for this legislation that lays the groundwork for American energy dominance, reduces our reliance on foreign adversaries for critical minerals, prohibits the sale of crude oil from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China, strengthens our nation\u2019s waterways infrastructure, and defunds all woke and weaponized Biden Administration policies.\n\nThis is a great step toward codifying many of President Trump\u2019s American energy dominance objectives. Additionally, the final legislation included an amendment Congressman Moore secured during the Appropriations Committee\u2019s markup that restores critical funding to the Appalachian Regional Commission.\n\nCongressman Moore issued the following statement:\n\n\u201cI proudly voted for the Energy and Water Appropriations bill, today. This important America First legislation included an amendment I was able to add during markup that restores critical funding for the Appalachian Regional Commission. West Virginians know that the Appalachian Regional Commission is an invaluable resource for our state that creates jobs, combats addiction, provides job training resources, and improves the Mountain State\u2019s infrastructure. I will always fight for West Virginia and will always make sure that Appalachia\u2019s voice is heard in Congress.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:10:29Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://rileymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-moores-amendment-restores-funding-appalachian-regional-commission-energy"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7247952744364738, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
