Sen. Moran will replace retiring U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) as Co-Chair.\n\n\u201cI am honored to be selected to serve as the next Co-Chair of the Senate Army Caucus,\u201d said Sen. Moran. \u201cKansas has a proud history of military service and is home to a significant Army presence with Fort Riley, Fort Leavenworth and the Army National Guard and Reserve. Throughout my time in Congress, it has been a priority to support our military institutions in Kansas and this position will allow me to better advocate for our soldiers and their families in Kansas, the United States and across the globe.\u201d\n\n\u201cSen. Inhofe has been one of Congress\u2019 most influential and strongest advocates for servicemembers and their families, and I am grateful for his many years of leadership on the Senate Army Caucus and in the U.S. Senate,\u201d continued Sen. Moran. \u201cI look forward to working with Sen. Reed, Army leaders and members of the Senate Army Caucus to support our nation\u2019s soldiers and their missions.\u201d\n\n\u201cI am proud to welcome Senator Jerry Moran as Co-Chair of the Army Caucus,\u201d said Sen. Reed. \u201cSen. Moran has long been a steadfast advocate for our nation\u2019s soldiers, and I look forward to serving with him in this new leadership role. The Army is fundamentally a \u2018People First\u2019 organization, and the Senate Army Caucus is committed to supporting our soldiers, their families, and our Army civilians and veterans. Sen. Moran will be a tremendous partner in this endeavor.\u201d\n\n\u201cI am also grateful to my good friend, Senator Jim Inhofe, for his tremendous leadership as Co-Chair of the Senate Army Caucus, and I congratulate him on his well-earned retirement,\u201d continued Sen. Reed. \u201cThe Army is stronger and America is safer because of his service.\u201d\n\n\u201cIt was an honor to support the United States Army during my time as Army Caucus Co-Chair, and now I am proud to see that position filled by someone with great dedication and integrity \u2013 my friend, Kansas Senator Jerry Moran,\u201d said Sen. Inhofe. \u201cI am certain that Sen. Moran will continue to keep the best interest of the U.S. Army at heart as he co-leads this caucus with Senator Reed into the future.\u201d\n\nThe bipartisan Senate Army Caucus includes more than 30 Senators from across the country. The Army Caucus is one of the largest and most active caucuses in the Senate. The caucus\u2019 goal is to advocate on behalf of the U.S. Army in the Senate and educate members on the importance of supporting Army goals. The caucus meets regularly with Army leadership to receive updates on the service\u2019s readiness, assess soldier quality of life initiatives and develop legislation to advance the goals of the Army.\n\n# # #", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:41:06Z"]], "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://www.moran.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases?ID=D0D89E1A-C470-43D5-BA17-E524D869BB05"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.298321109265089, "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"}
