| https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-colleagues-send-letter-biden-impact-recent-houthi-attacks-global-trade | Miller, Colleagues Send Letter to Biden on the Impact of Recent Houthi Attacks on Global Trade | 2023-12-22 | 2023 | 2023-12 | Republican | House | WV | Carol D. Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) led a letter to President Joe Biden urging him to neutralize recent threats and attacks from an Iranian-backed militia, known as the Houthis, on trade cargo ships in the Red Sea near Yemen. The letter also urges the Biden Administration to work with our international partners to secure our trade lanes. These attacks have caused many major trade companies to redirect their cargo shipments which delays arrivals and increases costs for consumers. Click HERE for the full letter. Joining Congresswoman Miller in sending the letter are Representatives Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA), Chuck Fleischmann (R-TN), Randy Weber (R-TX), Cory Mills (R-FL), Mike Carey (R-OH), Nick LaLota (R-NY), August Pfluger (R-TX), Doug LaMalfa (R-CA), and Claudia Tenney (R-NY). On the attacks by Houthi’s on the global trade market in the Red Sea: While the world remains stunned by the senseless violence committed by Iran-backed militias in Israel, Iran has stepped up their international attacks by having the Houthis, an Iran-backed militia group in Yemen, send shockwaves through the global trade market by attacking global shipping in the Red Sea, near the Suez Canal. The Suez Canal and Red Sea provide passage to about 12% of the world’s seaborne oil and 8% of its liquefied natural gas. As much as 8.2 million barrels per day of crude oil and oil products traversed the Red Sea from January to November of 2023 and 20% of all shipping containers globally rely on safe passage through it. The route through the Suez Canal is also the most direct route used to ship goods between Europe and Asia. On the impact of Houthi’s attacks on the global supply chain and rising shipment times and costs: These attacks have forced trade giants, such as BP and Maersk, to suspend passage through the Suez Canal and opt to direct their ships around the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, a substantially longer and more expensive journey. Experts have estimated that traveling from Asia to Northern Europe around … | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z |

Miller and Chairman Smith Call IRS Commissioner Werfel to Testify before the Ways and Means Committee | 2023-12-21 | 2023 | 2023-12 | Republican | House | WV | Carol D. Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV), Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO), and all Ways and Means Republicans sent a letter to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner Daniel Werfel calling on him to testify before the Ways and Means Committee on the Biden Administration’s failure to follow a law passed by Congress and signed by President Biden. In November, the IRS announced its decision to delay implementation of the Democrat-mandated lower 1099-K reporting threshold that was included in the American Rescue Plan Act. In its flawed guidance, the IRS also made the legally dubious decision to change the law without any authority to do so from Congress. “This Administration is hellbent on picking winners and losers in how they interpret the law. Unfortunately, the loser is always the American taxpayer," said Congresswoman Miller. “The change of the reporting 1099-K threshold from $20,000 and over 200 transactions to only $600 would have hurt over 44 million American taxpayers and the IRS’ refusal to implement the change has created more uncertainty going forward. For this reason, the reporting threshold should remain at $20,000 which protects Americans from paying redundant taxes. My bill, the Saving Gig Economy Taxpayers Act will return the threshold to the time-tested standard and save the IRS and Americans alike from unnecessary headaches for the foreseeable future. I am looking forward to the Commissioner’s testimony before the Committee, he will have many tough questions to answer.” “The IRS should not be shielding Democrats from the consequences of their own bad lawmaking – the clear intent of which was to maximize tax revenues, even if that meant placing 90 percent of the tax burden on middle-class families and gig workers,” said Chairman Smith. “Congress alone can repeal the unpopular, unworkable 1099K reporting requirement that Democrats and President Biden rammed through on a purely partisan basis. Republicans stand ready to do just that if the President and Senate Democrats would agre… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) released the following statement slamming the proposed rule put out by the Treasury Department which allows foreign companies to profit from American subsidies and receive manufacturing tax credits. “The combination of the poorly written Inflation Reduction Act and the Treasury Department’s careless proposed rule on the 45X tax credits shows the Biden Administration's complete disregard for American jobs and the U.S. economy,” said Congresswoman Miller. “Under President Biden’s weak guidance for yet another IRA provision, $125 billion of American tax dollars will be handed to Chinese manufacturers. American taxpayers should not be the source of funding for foreign adversaries. Congress must pass my bill with Senator Marco Rubio, the Protecting American Advanced Manufacturing Act, which will ensure Chinese companies do not get a penny of hardworking American tax dollars.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) and Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) introduced the Protecting American Advanced Manufacturing Act to ensure that nations aiming to weaken the U.S., including Communist China, do not receive American tax credits. The Biden Administration’s Inflation Reduction Act gives foreign entities opportunities to receive generous tax credits regardless of if their work puts American manufacturers out of business. 45X is an “advanced manufacturing” tax credit. Currently 97% of all solar wafers are manufactured by Chinese solar companies and are eligible to claim the 45X credit. “The Biden Administration allowing China to access American tax credits is unacceptable," said Congresswoman Miller. "The weak guardrails from the administration for the 45X tax credits continues to give China an advantage over American manufacturers, effectively killing American jobs and stifling innovation. The government’s first responsibility is to protect the United States, not give handouts to our adversaries. The Biden Administration and Washington Democrats have failed American taxpayers and American businesses on every account. We need a strategic decoupling from China; stopping them from taking our tax credits is the bare minimum.” “President Biden has prioritized a radical climate agenda ahead of our national security, and his Inflation Reduction Act is giving foreign adversaries the opportunity to benefit from U.S. tax dollars while they simultaneously put American companies out of business," said Senator Rubio. "I am proud to introduce the Protecting American Advanced Manufacturing Act, which would ensure that future benefits for American companies do not end up in the hands of our adversaries.” Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) introduced companion legislation in the Senate.

The Protecting American Advanced Manufacturing Act would prevent 45X tax credits from supporting companies: Who are owned, controlled, or operated by a foreign adversary, such as China, R… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) joined Congressional Youth ChalleNGe Caucus Co-Chairs Grace F. Napolitano (D-CA), Salud Carbajal (D-CA), and Brett Guthrie (R-KY) in introducing a bipartisan resolution to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program (NGYCP). For 30 years, NGYCP has been educating at-risk youth between the ages of 16 and 18 in 39 different program locations across 28 states, including West Virginia. The Senate introduced bipartisan companion legislation earlier this year. “The National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program has given incredible opportunities to thousands of at-risk high school students for three decades,” said Congresswoman Miller. “NGYCP’s commitment to providing education and life skills is honorable and is a model for schools across the United States. This program provides stability and encouragement to students who are exploring every option, instead of placing expectations for what a career should look like. I am grateful to NGYCP and am confident it will serve our communities for years to come.” Click HERE for the full text. Congresswoman Miller and the Congressional Youth ChalleNGe Caucus Co-Chairs were joined in introducing the resolution by Representatives Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), Ken Calvert (R-CA), André Carson (D-IN), Ryan Zinke (R-MT), Morgan McGarvey (D-KY), Bill Huizenga (R-MI), Shri Thanedar (D-MI), Jennifer Kiggans (R-VA), Jill Tokuda (D-HI), Alex Mooney (R-WV), Josh Harder (D-CA), Julia Letlow (R-LA), Michelle Steel (R-CA), Harold Rogers (R-KY), and William Timmons (R-SC). Background: The NGYCP is funded by the Department of Defense and was designed to assist youth affected by gangs, violence, and drug abuse to aid them when making educational and life decisions at a critical time in their lives. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) released the following statement on the passage of her legislation, the Clinical Laboratory Price Transparency Act, on the House of Representatives floor. The Clinical Laboratory Price Transparency Act passed as part of the larger Lower Costs, More Transparency Act, and ensures clinical labs publish their prices before administering treatment, giving patients a clear understanding on their health care costs. "Unknown health care prices should not be a factor that patients are worried about when making health care decisions," said Congresswoman Miller. "Patients should know their health care treatment prices upfront and not be surprised by sky-high bills they were unaware of. The passage of the Clinical Laboratory Price Transparency Act is a necessary first step in allowing clinical labs to publish their prices upfront, so patients are given the opportunity to make wise health care decisions. Providing patients with health care price transparency is long overdue and I am pleased this legislation will deliver and prioritize the needs of patients across the United States.” Click HERE for bill text. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) led a letter to President Joe Biden to express concern about Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) expanding its operations in the United States and how the Biden administration's proposed menthol cigarette ban may contribute to CJNG's expansion. The letter highlights CJNG’s recent growth in operations, which includes cigarette smuggling, and raises concerns about the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) proposal to ban menthol cigarettes in the United States. The letter raises concerns that the proposed ban will only provide Mexican cartels and illegal markets with increased opportunity for illicit activity and more potential funding for cartel operations, including the smuggling of fentanyl across our borders. Congresswoman Miller was joined by Representatives Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), Brian Babin (TX), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Lori Chavez-DeRemer(R-OR), Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ), Anthony D’Esposito (R-NY), August Pfluger (R-TX), and Michael Waltz (R-FL) in sending the letter to the Biden administration. Click HERE for the full letter. On the significant threat from CJNG to the United States: As you are aware, Mexican cartels pose a deadly threat to the United States. As the greatest criminal drug threat to the U.S., the Mexican cartels are also involved in several other criminal activities, including but not limited to human trafficking, money laundering, and extortion. In recent years, the Mexican cartels are believed to be responsible for a large portion of synthetic opioid trafficking in the U.S., where overdose deaths due to synthetic opioids like fentanyl have skyrocketed. We are very concerned about the Mexican cartels and their presence in the United States and urge you to take action that would limit the cartels’ funding and ability to operate within our borders. Specifically, it has come to our attention that the Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) has gained power in Mexico and expanded its operations to the U.S. The Department of Just… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) sent a letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy regarding the Mail Processing Facility Review at the Charleston Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC), which was recently announced by the United States Postal Service (USPS). The full letter can be found below or HERE. I am writing to voice my concern regarding the Mail Processing Facility Review at the Charleston Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC) which was announced by the United States Postal Service (USPS). The Charleston P&DC is a critical part of postal operations in West Virginia. The center employs over 800 West Virginians and delivers economic success for the state. Over 98% of our state’s businesses are small businesses that rely on the mail system to send products and newsletters out to their customers, along with checks and mortgage payments to the bank. Mail delivery also affects older Americans in rural areas who rely on the postal service to deliver their life-saving medications and veterans who depend on the postal service to deliver their hard-earned federal benefits. Not to mention the kids and adults who still expect to receive cards on their birthdays. While I understand that the USPS is attempting to streamline mail service as part of the Delivering for America Plan, I urge you to consider the impact that moving any services out of West Virginia would have on the jobs and economy of the state. Southern West Virginia needs timely mail delivery to continue to be a great place to live, work, and raise a family. I appreciate your attention to this issue and look forward to continuing to work with the USPS to ensure the people of West Virginia can count on the USPS to deliver their mail efficiently. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) joined Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) and Representatives Doug LaMalfa (R-CA) and Alex Mooney (R-WV) in sending a letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to issue a commemorative stamp honoring West Virginia native, Brigadier General Charles Elwood “Chuck” Yeager. Click HERE for the full letter. On issuing a commemorative stamp honoring Brigadier General “Chuck” Yeager: We write to encourage the United States Postal Service to issue a commemorative stamp honoring Brigadier General Charles Elwood “Chuck” Yeager. Chuck Yeager is an American hero and a legendary figure in the history of aviation, and it is our strong belief that his historic accomplishments in service to our nation merit celebration and recognition on a commemorative stamp. A native of Myra, West Virginia, Chuck was raised a few miles up the Mud River in the small town of Hamlin, where his family moved when he was five years old. Chuck demonstrated an affinity for machines from an early age, and by the time he was a teenager, he commanded an advanced knowledge of complicated mechanical systems. Chuck graduated from Hamlin High School in June 1941, six months before the United States entered World War II. Three months after graduating high school, Chuck enlisted in the Army Air Corps. He was selected for pilot training in July 1942 and earned his pilot’s wings with Class 43-C on March 10, 1943, and from that moment on the course of aviation history was changed forever. On Chuck’s impact and service to the United States: Chuck dutifully served his country for another 28 years after his record-breaking flight until his retirement from active duty on February 28, 1975. Over the course of his distinguished career, Chuck fought for his country in two wars, accumulated a total of 10,131.6 flight hours in 361 different types and models of military aircraft, and was the first commander of the Aerospace Research Pilot School, where he mentored a new generation of American… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z |

During the meeting, Congresswoman Miller heard from the community on different issues Raleigh County is experiencing, including flooding, limited access to clean water, and the drug crisis. “I had a productive discussion today with Raleigh County officials about some issues and problems the community is experiencing and how Congress can best assist and work alongside local government to solve them,” said Congresswoman Miller. “Hearing about the damage caused by recent floodings, the limited access to clean water for households, and the drastic impact of the drug crisis in Raleigh County highlighted how crucial it is to provide necessary resources to our communities. The drug epidemic has recently caused an extreme spike in crime and has taken too many lives, which is why I will continue fighting for policies that will secure our border and help West Virginians that have been affected by the ongoing drug crisis. My top priority in Congress continues to be making West Virginia the best place to live, work, and raise a family." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z |

This potential plan to move jobs and services to a P&DC in Pittsburgh is illogical and would threaten the economy in West Virginia while leaving the state’s dedicated postal delivery workers uncertain about their job security and commutes. Our state is full of older Americans in rural areas that rely on the postal service to deliver their life-saving medications and veterans who rely on the postal service to deliver their hard-earned federal benefits. Any policy that would jeopardize the timely delivery of the mail to West Virginians is unacceptable and downright dangerous. I encourage everyone who lives in West Virginia to share your concerns about the proposed changes to our P&DC with the USPS at the link here. As Charleston’s representative in Congress, I will do everything in my power to ensure that the Charleston Processing and Distribution Center continues to serve West Virginia for years to come,” said Congresswoman Miller. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z |

Congresswoman Miller spoke on the United States - Taiwan Expedited Double-Tax Relief Act and the VSO Equal Tax Treatment (VETT) Act. Click HERE for video. On the United States - Taiwan Expedited Double-Tax Relief Act: “Taiwan and the United States have a long and mutually beneficial relationship. I deeply value our continued partnership with our ally Taiwan and I believe that this bill will go a long way to secure our economic relationship for years to come. Ending double taxation between our two countries will be beneficial to both of us, both the American businesses in Taiwan, and Taiwanese businesses investing in the United States. As a member of the trade subcommittee, this is very important to me. And of course, being a West Virginianian, I always welcome our friends from Taiwan to visit our beautiful state,” said Congresswoman Miller. Click HERE for video. On the VETT Act: “Our Veteran Service Organizations are the bedrock of our service members communities when they return home. West Virginia has one of the highest rates of proud veteran’s living in our state, and our citizens have long answered the call to serve our country in times of need. Many of my constituents have served in conflicts not really considered to be a wartime conflict, but still deserve the same treatment as other servicemembers. I want to thank Congressman Wenstrup for introducing the VETT Act and wish him all the best in his future endeavors. Our Committee is certainly losing a good one with your retirement,” said Congresswoman Miller. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:01:09Z |

This legislation will protect faith-based child welfare providers from being discriminated against for acting in accordance with their religious beliefs. It will also prohibit federal, state, and local government agencies that receive federal adoption assistance funding from holding child welfare service providers religious beliefs against them. “Faith-based welfare providers are a glimpse of hope for many families who are seeking care and resources in their time of need,” said Congresswoman Miller. “The Child Welfare Provider Inclusion Act will safeguard faith-based organizations from the Biden administration's discriminatory policies and ensure providers receive the federal support they need to help families in our community. I look forward to the swift passage of this bill in Congress as we protect the right to religious freedom in the United States.” Click HERE for bill text.

Congresswoman Miller opened the ceremony with the following remarks. Click here for video. Remarks as prepared below: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! I am excited to stand before you all today to begin this year’s U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree lighting ceremony! Thank you to Speaker Johnson, all the hardworking volunteers, staff, the Richwood High School Band, and the architect of the Capitol who made this event possible. Every year since 1967, families across the United States come together to decorate and gift a tree from their state to the U.S. Capitol, hence receiving the name, “The People’s Tree”. As you know, this year’s tree is from my wild and wonderful state of West Virginia. But what you may not know is that the ornaments are made by children from all around the state. The first capitol Christmas tree from West Virginia was in 1970, and then again in 1976 and now to today. As the second largest hardwood producer in the United States, it’s only fitting the Christmas Tree comes from West Virginia. I may be biased, but I think it’s the Capitol’s best tree yet! This 63 foot, Norway Spruce was named wa’feem’tekw by the Shawnee tribe and means Bright Star which is a great representation of what West Virginia is to the rest of America. From having an abundance of natural resources, to being our nation's energy powerhouse, West Virginia continues to amaze people with its beauty and history. It’s filled with hardworking, dedicated, and resilient people, but most importantly with people who value community and family above all else. For my family, the Holiday season is our favorite time of the year. Gathering for different Christmas traditions and experiencing the joy and peace of the Christmas spirit is very dear to my heart. As we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, I wish you will take time to get toget… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:01:09Z |

Making sure families across our nation can afford the resources they need is one of my main priorities in Congress and I will continue fighting for policies that put Americans first.” “As a result of these misguided taxes, U.S. manufacturing competitiveness is further threatened by countries like China,” said the American Chemistry Council. “The taxes single out the chemical industry at a time when supply chain challenges and new proposed restrictions from the Biden administration pose significant challenges for the business of chemistry and our industry’s ability to create products that are important to national priorities.” Click here for bill text. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:01:09Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) penned an op-ed in The Hill on how coal and natural gas should contribute to all-of-the-above energy production in the United States. As a member of the Ways and Means Committee, Congresswoman Miller is focused on implementing laws as they were intended, not as they are falsely interpreted by the Biden Administration. Administration’s effort to limit access to hydrogen tax credits will hurt energy production The Hill “Everyone wants to live in a clean, healthy environment. As stewards of our beautiful earth, we should want to leave it better than we found it. Because of the brilliant innovators in the United States, we have the ability through modernization and technology to incorporate new energy production with traditional sources. This leads us to incorporate all-of-the-above energy solutions. “Hydrogen is often described as the future of clean and affordable energy. There are multiple ways it can be developed, but the most effective way is through a process called carbon capture utilization and storage. This process takes coal and natural gas emissions and converts them into hydrogen. At the beginning of 2022, hydrogen was supplied almost entirely from fossil fuels. More than 70% was generated from natural gas and 27% generated from coal. In the last year, my home state of West Virginia’s coal and natural gas production rose 5.7% and 6%, respectively. Using natural gas and coal emissions to create hydrogen energy is the perfect example of a comprehensive all-of-the-above energy solution. “Enter the 45V Hydrogen Production Tax Credit, which was passed through Congress and signed into law to help incentivize the production of hydrogen. Tax credits are complicated, but important for American businesses to succeed. Unfortunately, in the case of the 45V tax credit, the Biden Administration is doing what it does best – completely ignoring Congressional intent to push an unworkable Green New Deal agenda.

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) released the following statement on the illegal delay of the implementation of the 1099-K requirements for an additional tax year from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Based on today's announcement from the IRS, implementation of the 1099-K requirements will be delayed for the 2023 tax year at the threshold of $20,000 and then will implement a $5,000 threshold for the 2024 tax year which will immensely hurt taxpayers and independent contractors who use online services, payment platforms, and marketplaces. The IRS does not have the authority to delay implementation of the policy or set a new threshold contrary to what is passed into law by Congress. “The IRS is completely out of control and must be held accountable as they continue to make up the law as they go. Last year, the IRS took the legally dubious action of delaying implementation of the lower 1099-k threshold for 2022. Now they’ve done it yet again, giving Americans taxpayers no certainty on what the future of this policy will hold. The Biden Administration must be reminded that Congress writes the laws, they are the ones who must correctly implement them. Congress must give taxpayers the certainty they deserve when using online payment platforms and participating in the gig economy. That is why I introduced the Saving Gig Economy Taxpayers Act. This bill will keep the reporting requirement at $20,000 and over 200 transactions, protecting Americans who use online payment platforms, gig economy workers, and small e-commerce sellers from being taken advantage of by the IRS and will ensure they have access to modern financial services platforms. This bill has already passed the Ways and Means Committee and stands ready for a vote on the House floor and swift passage in the Senate. While I am strongly opposed to lowering the reporting requirement from $20,000 to $600, that is the law that was passed with only Democrat votes and signed by President Biden in the American Rescue Plan.

The letter highlights 365,000 acres in the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) that the permits cover and if canceling them constitutes a “rule” for purposes of the Congressional Review Act (CRA). Click here for letter. On urging the GAO to review Department of Interior's announcement: On September 6, 2023, the Biden Administration’s Department of Interior posted a press release announcing Secretary of Interior Deb Haaland’s cancellation of seven oil and gas lease permits covering 365,000 acres in the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). We write to seek your review of whether the September 2023 announcement from the Department of Interior, titled “Biden-Harris Administration Takes Major Steps to Protect Arctic Lands and Wildlife in Alaska,” constitutes a “rule” for purposes of the Congressional Review Act (CRA). On the Biden Administration's anti-energy policies: As you well know, President Biden’s disastrous America-last energy policies and his embrace of the radical Green New Deal agenda have jeopardized American energy independence and have cost hard-working Americans, already battling soaring inflation, both at the gas pump and in their utility bills. First, the Biden Administration halted construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline, then they froze all oil and gas lease permits on federal lands, and later they drained our Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to boost political capital while putting American national and energy security at risk. This latest decision by the Department of Interior is nothing more than a continuation of the Biden Administration’s war on America’s energy independence.

This bill will extend the Medicare-dependent hospital program and Medicare low-volume hospital payments for five years each and include a GAO report to ensure Medicare rural hospital designations are bolstering rural health care. “Hospitals in rural communities should have access to the same resources as any other hospital to keep their doors open and administer efficient and quality care,” said Congresswoman Miller. “In the midst of rising health care prices and medical workforce shortages, the ARCH act will provide Medicare-dependent and Medicare low-volume hospitals with much needed financial stability. I was pleased to introduce this bill on National Rural Health Day and bring awareness to the concerns rural patients and hospitals are experiencing. I am grateful to Congresswoman Sewell for joining with me on this issue as we champion rural hospitals and provide them with the support they need to serve our communities.” “We in Alabama have seen our rural hospitals come under immense strain, threatening to make it harder for our communities to access the services they need,” said Congresswoman Sewell. “This legislation is about providing stability to our rural hospitals so that they can keep their doors open and continue serving patients. There is no time more befitting than National Rural Health Day to shine a spotlight on the needs of our rural hospitals. I thank Congresswoman Miller for her partnership and urge my colleagues to join us in supporting this legislation.” "On behalf of the 69 hospitals of West Virginia, we are grateful for Congresswoman Carol Miller’s support for our rural hospitals here in our state and across the country,” said Jim Kaufman, President and CEO, West Virginia Hospital Association.

Due to the war on Israel and the recent rise of antisemitic activities against Jewish students on college campuses, Congresswoman Miller questioned Adam Lehman, President and CEO of Hillel International and Noa Tishby, Israeli actress, activist, and author on the influence foreign governments have on tax exempt universities and how it leads to support terrorist organizations like Hamas. Click here for video. Congresswoman Miller on the influence of foreign governments on tax-exempt college campuses, specifically Qatari funding for Northwestern University: “I am still absolutely horrified by the atrocities committed against our ally Israel on October 7th. This depravity is being met fiercely and I pray that the terrorist organization Hamas is destroyed so they can never commit these kinds of attacks ever again. A concerning trend that we have witnessed is the influence of foreign governments on tax-exempt college campuses, [specifically] Qatari funding for Northwestern University. It is no coincidence that it now has a campus in the Gulf country and has become a pipeline for reporters for the Qatari state-owned media Al Jazeera and their youth-focused subsidiary, AJ+... This has led me to wonder if Qatar’s funding for Northwestern plays a role in their non-statement on this geopolitical event. It is hard to miss that Qatar is actively housing Hamas’ leadership in luxury hotels while Palestinians suffer, or that AJ+ has been at the forefront of spreading pro-Hamas propaganda on social media sites, especially on Tik Tok, misinforming students across the country and inspiring additional antisemitism.” Congresswoman Miller questioned Mr. Lehman on other colleges responses to the Hamas attacks and the possible financial ties to countries known to support terrorist organizations: “How do you think we should loo… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:01:09Z |

They are the future of West Virginia. While in Wirt, I also had a great discussion with Courthouse officials about the new developments and resources they need for their new emergency management system.

This stopgap funding bill temporarily funds the government and extends the government funding deadline until January 19 for Agriculture, Energy and Water, Military Construction-VA and Transportation-Housing Urban Development spending bills and the remaining eight bills until February 2. “Once again, House Republicans have averted a government shutdown,” said Congresswoman Miller. “For too long, Congress has abandoned regular order and passed fiscally irresponsible spending bills during the holidays, instead of taking the time to govern properly throughout the year. As the end of the year approaches, the last thing Americans need is a government shutdown which would result in the loss of billions of taxpayer dollars. The two-part Continuing Resolution will allocate time for Congress to discuss, debate, and come to a consensus on funding for federal agencies. Under Speaker Johnson’s leadership, House Republicans are putting the American people before politics. I urge the Senate to quickly pass this funding package and meet us at the negotiating table to deliver on our commitment to America.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:01:09Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) published an Op-Ed in The Charleston Gazette - Mail, highlighting the Hershel “Woody” Williams National Medal of Honor Monument Location Act and its passage in the House of Representatives. Earlier this week, Congresswoman Miller spoke in favor of the Hershel “Woody” Williams National Medal of Honor Monument Location Act on the House floor. Senate Should Support Bill to Honor Veterans It’s imperative for every American to remember and honor the heroes who sacrificed in service to our country. West Virginia’s own Hershel “Woody” Williams is one such hero worth remembering. As a Marine Corps veteran of World War II and a Medal of Honor recipient, he distinguished himself by risking his life to defend America and its values. When his time in the Marine Corps ended, he dedicated the rest of his life to serving America here at home by uplifting and supporting America’s veterans and their families. Woody was the best of us; he loved his country with zeal and did everything he could to defend it. As we pay tribute this week to the more than 40 million Americans who served our country in uniform, there’s something we can learn from Woody’s story and from the stories of other Medal of Honor recipients. It’s not just that they lived for America; it’s that they were willing to give everything for America. In both their living and their dying, they exemplified the very best of what Americans can do, and we owe it to them and to the next generation to ensure that the memory of their heroism lives on. It’s for this reason that I was honored to speak on the floor of the House of Representatives in unwavering support of the Hershel “Woody” Williams National Medal of Honor Monument Location Act. It will locate the new National Medal of Honor Monument near the Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, DC.

Congresswoman Miller highlighted how ESG mandates are devastating coal communities and steering investment funds away from energy companies and toward woke, environmentalist corporations. Congresswoman Miller also questioned Marlo Oaks, Utah State Treasurer and Mason Bolay, Senior Vice President of First Bank and Trust Company, on the Biden Administration’s radical ESG policies. Click here for video. Congresswoman Miller on the devastating impact of ESG mandates on West Virginia energy communities: “I am from the beautiful state of West Virginia, which for those who might not know, it is a leading energy producing state. Since 2008, the radical left-wing war on coal and, quite frankly [a war on] all forms of traditional base load energy, has devastated the communities in my home state of West Virginia. Despite Washington liberals’ best efforts, coal exports still amounted to $3.8 billion of economic activity in my home state. ESG mandates are just another opportunity for unelected bureaucrats to force freedom-loving Americans to accept one more step towards global socialism. We will never, never surrender to those who want to see our energy producing state destroyed, and we will fight these mandates tooth and nail.The fact that the Biden administration is encouraging retirement plan managers to steer investment funds away from profitable, time-tested energy companies and toward their pseudo-woke environmentalist corporations is not only fiscally irresponsible — it is a real slap in the face to hardworking folks like my constituents who are counting on these managers to do their job and ensure their retirement accounts are secure.

Click here for video. Remarks as prepared are below: “Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak in favor of the Hershel "Woody" Williams National Medal of Honor Monument Location Act, which would locate the new National Medal of Honor Monument near the Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, DC. Woody was an American hero from my home state of West Virginia. When he passed last year, we paid tribute to him as he was laid in honor in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol. Woody was a country boy tried to enlist at 16. He grew up hunting and was always a good shot. He loved his country more than anything and did everything he could to defend it. He was awarded the Medal of Honor in 1945 for his courage during the battle of Iwo Jima where he singlehandedly fought the Japanese with flamethrowers, clearing a path for more American troops. Marines raised the American flag on Mount Suribachi that very day, resulting in the iconic photo that showed that America was winning the war in the pacific. Woody was not just a constituent and a hero – he was a friend. His legacy of service, dedication, and patriotism will live on through the countless lives he touched. His impact on our West Virginia community cannot be overstated, as his service to our veterans continued long after his career in the Marine Corps. With Veterans Day on Friday, this bill couldn’t be more timely to honor our servicemen and women who were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.

The Protect our Power Plants Act will prevent the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from implementing their proposal that would close coal- and gas-fired power plants across the nation. The POPP Act highlights EPA’s proposal of restricting power generation at new and existing energy facilities across the United States, hence undermining domestic energy production. "Republicans in Congress are once again defending American energy production. The House of Representatives passed the Protect our Power Plants Act in the Fiscal Year 2024 Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill which protects U.S. energy plants, bolsters our energy independence, and stops President Biden’s Green New Deal agenda from destroying our energy dominance,” said Congresswoman Miller. “Senator Capito and I are focused on promoting American energy policies that will ensure West Virginia remains an energy dominant state for years to come. The Protect Our Power Plants Act is a needed check on Washington Democrats’ radical environmental policies and promotes American energy production. This is a win for West Virginia and the United States as we prioritize U.S. energy policies and our coal- and gas-fired power plants fuel the United States." “The Biden administration’s Clean Power Plan 2.0 makes it clear they intend to ignore the Supreme Court’s ruling in West Virginia v. EPA, put the people who help power our nation out of work, and increase energy costs for millions of Americans.

Funding for Israel will be offset by recissions from the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, cutting the budget for hiring an army of agents at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to harass American taxpayers. “Today, I voted in favor of providing Israel with $14.3 billion in resources to support them as it continues to defend itself and fight against the violence and evil acts of Hamas,” said Congresswoman Miller. “With Israel being one of our most important allies, this funding package affirms that the United States unequivocally stands with Israel and condemns any form of attacks against it. The Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act will ensure government accountability is enacted as we provide the necessary funds for Israel. I am looking forward to the swift passage of this bill on the Senate floor.” Click here for bill text. Background: The $14.3 billion emergency supplemental appropriations packaging includes funding for: $4 billion to replenish Iron Dome and David’s Sling missile defense systems, $3.5 billion for the “Foreign Military Financing Program” procurement of advanced weapons systems and defense articles and services, $1.2 billion for the continued development of the Iron Beam system to counter short-range threats, $1 billion for artillery and munitions production: $800 million to the Army for ammunition, $10 million to the Navy for weapons, and $38 million to the Air Force for missile procurement. Additional funding will provide the American military with $4.4 billion to replenish domestic defense stockpiles, $150 million for an enhanced security presence in the U.S. Embassy, and $50 million for the evacuation of U.S. citizens from Israel.

Heavy rains caused damages by flooding, landslides, and mudslides in 5 counties throughout central and southern West Virginia from August 28, 2023 to August 30, 2023. Persistent rains resulted in major flooding events in Boone, Calhoun, Clay, Harrison and Kanawha Counties. As the heavy downpour of rains fell, areas surrounding rivers, creeks and small streams were unable to absorb the excess precipitation causing flooding and residential damage.

Robert Pritchard Dialysis Center through Community Project Funding in 2022 and toured the future nephrology program expansion site. CHH will use the funding to establish a nephrology program that will have the ability to serve over 36,000 kidney disease patients per year and provide resources to offer an option for in-home dialysis treatments. “Investing in kidney care projects is crucial for the wellbeing of kidney disease patients in West Virginia,” said Congresswoman Miller. “Securing this earmark was a top priority for me as it will save lives in our community from the “silent killer” of kidney failure. I will continue to focus on legislation that provides kidney care and health care access to patients in rural America. I am looking forward to the great impact this nephrology program at the Fresenius Kidney Care J. Robert Pritchard Dialysis Center will have on West Virginia.” What They're Saying: The Herald Dispatch- "We want to draw attention to Congresswoman Miller's efforts on behalf of many things in Central Appalachia, and today in particular with regards to her support of nephrology services and the expansion of home dialysis services," Dr. Kevin Yingling, CEO of Marshall Health Network said. "She wrote a letter and asked Medicare to cover home dialysis for patients with acute kidney injury, which will allow patients to be in the comfort of their home as they take control of their well being. She also was the leader in one piece of legislation, the Chronic Kidney Disease Improvement and Research Treatment Act, a bipartisan bill, which many understand will expand access to kidney care because it will make it part of the Medicare annual wellness benefit."

Congresswoman Miller highlighted the importance of school choice and questioned Cory DeAngelis, Senior Fellow for American Federation for Children, and Jerome Redmond, President and CEO of the American Truck Training, on the importance of giving power back to the parents to make decisions on behalf of their children’s educational needs. Click here for video. On the success of school choice in West Virginia: “As a mother and a grandmother, I know the importance of allowing parents to choose which schools are best for their children and their own unique skills. Mr. DeAngelis, thank you for highlighting in your testimony that my home state of West Virginia provides parents with one of the most expansive education savings account programs in the country. This program is called the Hope Scholarship Program and it has an eligibility rate of 93% across all students in my state, making West Virginia a leader in giving parents the opportunity to build an individual learning experience that works best for their child,” said Congresswoman Miller. On radical, woke ideology being incorporated in children’s curriculums in schools: “We have all seen how radical, woke ideology which really sluffs over history and civics, but includes gender and sexual orientation which has made its way into our children’s curriculum in school. In your opinion, how do you see school choice as a way to protect our children from the radical and damaging ideology of the left?” asked Congresswoman Miller. “Too many schools are focusing on indoctrination, not education. And the best solution to this problem is to allow the families to choose for their own kids. Every other so-called solution from the top down is within the one-size-fits-all system that by definition is never going to meet the needs of individual families.

Israel has every right to exist, protect its people, and defend itself against the evil of Hamas. My heart is broken for the innocent loss of life and we must make sure this never happens again. The antisemitism across the globe is appalling and is completely rejected by House Republicans.

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) joined Representatives Suzan DelBene (D-WA), Tony Cárdenas (D-CA), and Larry Bucshon, M.D. (R-IN) in sending a bipartisan letter to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator, Chiquita Brooks-LaSure to expand access to home dialysis for Americans who are at risk of kidney failure. The letter also highlights the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to cover home dialysis for Medicare patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) in the final 2024 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) payment system rule. Home dialysis for AKI will allow patients to be in a comfortable setting to control their dialysis treatment schedule and environment. Click here to read the full letter. On urging CMS to expand access and cover home dialysis for Medicare patients with AKI: Giving patients the option to receive dialysis at home can dramatically improve health outcomes and quality of life. Unfortunately, the U.S. ranks far behind other comparable countries in use of home dialysis. As you work to finalize the calendar year 2024 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) prospective payment system rule, we urge you to expand access to home dialysis for the millions of Americans who either have or are at risk of kidney failure. To advance that goal, we believe that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) should cover home dialysis for Medicare patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) if they are no longer hospitalized and have decided, along with their doctor, that home dialysis is the right choice for them as they attempt to regain kidney function. On urging Medicare to cover both in-center and home dialysis for AKI patients: Treatment of AKI often requires a hospital stay where patients receive dialysis in the hope that their kidneys will regain function. Many patients who are stable enough to leave the hospital still require dialysis. While Medicare covers both in-center and home dialysis for ESRD patients with kidney failure, in-center dialysis is the onl… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:49:26Z |

Click here for resolution text. “Terrorists are taking advantage of Joe Biden’s open northern and southern border policies. Since President Biden took office, there have been over 1.5 million known getaways at the southern border and many of the suspected terrorists in the United States have come through the northern border. That is unacceptable and every community is suffering the from consequences of having an open border. With the crises around the world, America cannot afford to be soft on our border policies. Our northern border must be fortified,” said Congresswoman Miller. "At a time of increased global uncertainty, we must take every measure necessary to secure our country. That includes our Northern border, which is greatly unsecured and overexposed," Rep. Kelly said. "The majority of suspected terrorists caught this year have crossed between the U.S. and Canada, which is the longest continuous border between two countries in the entire world. I'm calling on Secretary Mayorkas to recognize the unique crisis along the Northern border and to work with Congress to solve this problem that gravely threatens our entire nation." "The first thing bad guys do is go where the good guys aren’t. Right now, all our good guys are dealing with Biden’s crisis on the Southwest border leaving the north unprotected and vulnerable to criminals, cartels, and terrorists," Rep. Zinke said. "In the wake of tragedy the world is experiencing in the Middle East, it is imperative we look in every direction and lock it down so Americans stay as safe as possible – that includes the North where Mayorkas is failing."

House Republicans have worked overtime to ensure that our troops are paid, disaster relief is distributed, and that the government keeps working for Americans. However, our work is far from over. With no help from House Democrats, the White House, or the Senate, House Republicans have already voted to fund 70% of the government through fiscally responsible appropriations bills, and we will continue to work to fund the rest of it. I encourage my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to put aside partisan antics and do what you were elected to do: pass legislation that benefits Americans,” said Congresswoman Miller. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:37:48Z |

This bill will require mandatory data reports of Opportunity Zone investments to increase transparency on the streamlining reporting process on projects in rural communities. Click here for bill text. “Creating Opportunity Zones have promoted businesses to settle in southern West Virginia and communities across the country. Promoting high-impact projects, particularly in rural and overlooked areas, will set future generations up for success and drive economic growth. The Opportunity Zones Transparency, Extension, and Improvement Act will advance success across the United States and establish a standard that all opportunity zone policies should follow,” said Congresswoman Miller. "Opportunity Zones have breathed new life into neighborhoods and Main Street businesses that have not seen private investment in years, all without spending a single taxpayer dollar," Rep. Kelly said. "This legislation builds upon the successes of Opportunity Zones and now adds new guidelines to make sure this program can benefit more communities for years to come." Background: Opportunity Zones are tax incentives which were established to drive capital to impoverished and overlooked communities across the United States. The OZ Transparency Extension and Improvement Act will: Extend the incentive for two years in order to facilitate continued investment, Reinstate and expand reporting requirements, Early sunset Opportunity Zones that are not impoverished, Create pathways for smaller-dollar impact investments, Provide operating support and technical assistance to high-poverty and underserved communities through a State and Community Dynamism Fund, Designate certain brownfield tracts as OZ's.

By allowing solar panels manufactured with Chinese polysilicon to avoid detection, they are encouraging Uyghur forced labor, distorting the market, and killing American jobs. I am calling on Customs and Border Patrol to strongly enforce the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act and stop products that were made by forced labor into the United States. We have the moral obligation to initiate a strategic decoupling from China and their inhumane labor practices,” said Congresswoman Miller. Congresswoman Miller was joined by Representatives Bill Pascrell (D-NJ), Blake Moore (R-UT), Greg Steube (R-FL), Terri Sewell (D-AL), Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), Jodey Arrington (R-TX), Michelle Steel (R-CA), Claudia Tenney (R-NY), and Beth Van Duyne (R-TX) in sending the letter to Commissioner Miller.

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) and Congresswoman Terri Sewell (D-AL) introduced the Increasing American Ferrosilicon Production Act in the House of Representatives, which will impose a tariff on Si 75% ferrosilicon, the last remaining Russian ferrosilicon product that is imported into the United States duty free. This bill will encourage U.S.-based producers of ferrosilicon to increase domestic production and create more jobs in steelmaking and other industries. Currently, the United States imports large amounts of ferrosilicon from Russia. This important alloy of silicon and iron is used in many applications, including steel production. Companies such as Ferroglobe, which have production sites in West Virginia and Alabama, produce ferrosilicon and have unused capacity. Companion legislation has been introduced by Senators Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) and Sherrod Brown (D-OH) in the Senate. “Russia has initiated a war on the free world. The United States should be doing everything to stifle their economic growth, not fuel it. By implementing a large tariff on Russian made Ferrosilicon, we are enabling Ferrosilicon production in places like West Virginia and Alabama to flourish. Stopping Russia’s access to American markets will decrease our reliance on Russia and increase our exports, while making the United States more competitive globally. The Increasing American Ferrosilicon Production Act will create more jobs, improve U.S. national security, and grow the American economy,” said Congresswoman Miller. “We know that when producers and workers in Alabama’s Black Belt are given a level playing field, they can compete and win,” said Congresswoman Sewell. “That’s why this legislation is so critical. The Increasing American Ferrosilicon Production Act will bring more jobs and opportunities to the people of the Black Belt and strengthen our economy. I urge my colleagues to give it their support!” “We don’t need to rely on Russia for the iron alloys we use for batteries, steel, semiconducto… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:37:48Z |

This lawsuit aims to remove and disqualify President Trump from appearing on the 2024 presidential election ballot in West Virginia. West Virginia Republican Party Chairwoman, Elgine McArdle, filed a motion to intervene in the case. “The obvious obstruction of justice by Democrats across the United States is not lost on voters. Donald Trump is the front runner to be the Republican nominee for President of the United States,” said Congresswoman Miller. “Democrats are terrified of having a candidate who will represent the American people, not Washington politicians. This latest attempt to strip West Virginians of their right to vote for who they want for President is shameful and I will not stand for it. I applaud the West Virginia Republican Party and the American Center for Law and Justice for challenging this egregious lawsuit and I am confident President Trump will be on the ballot in 2024." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:37:48Z |

The focus of the Bipartisan Rural Health Caucus is to advocate for health care policies and highlight challenges that Americans are experiencing in rural communities across the United States. “Having access to affordable health care is the difference between life and death for many rural Americans,” said Congresswoman Miller. “It is unacceptable that all West Virginian’s don’t have quality health care available to them when they need it. I am looking forward to working with the Bipartisan Rural Health Caucus on health care policies that will provide quality care in our communities, prioritize our health care workforce, and educate members of Congress on why rural America needs better and more accessible health care.” Background: The Congressional Bipartisan Health Caucus will promote and advance legislation and policy actions that help increase access to quality, affordable health care, and mental health services for all rural Americans. They will also create opportunities for members to hear directly from patients, providers, and health advocates about the challenges and successes with health care delivery for rural communities.

Congresswoman Miller questioned Ed Gresser, the Vice President and Director for Trade and Global Markets at Progressive Policy Institute, on the GSP program in the United States. Click here to watch. Congresswoman Miller on the importance of the GSP program to the United States and international trade: GSP is one of the most necessary trade programs that the United States has developed, and it is essential for providing fairly priced imports for American producers and consumers, as well as helping developing countries grow their economies to one day stand on their own. The Biden Administration’s lack of focus on trade has severely weakened our standing amongst once key trading partners, therefore cracking the door open for the Chinese Communist Party to take our place and exert their dangerous ideology. It is essential that we ensure the GSP program is working properly to accomplish our goals and not undermine American producers of certain products. We must be careful to not overburden the program with more government red tape. Businesses just want certainty, and we must work to ensure as much of it as possible, so they [companies] can make safe investments and can trust their government not to pull the rug out from under them. Unnecessary oversight and continued uncertainty will have the unfortunate consequence of raising prices for American consumers. Congresswoman Miller questioned Mr. Gresser on the impact of GSP on workers in developing countries: “Having worked under both the Trump and Obama Administrations, I am very interested in hearing your insights on the impact of GSP on the lives of workers in developing countries and the need for certainty when companies are making investment decisions,” asked Congresswoman Miller.

The bipartisan No Surprises Act has was into law by President Donald Trump in 2020 and aims to protect patients from surprise medical bills. Click here for video. Congresswoman Miller began by highlighting the lack of clarifications in the No Surprises Act for ground ambulance services: One concern I have about the No Surprises Act’s implementation is that Congress was very clear that ground ambulance services were not included in the NSA. However, I understand that some insurers are telling customers that ground ambulance services are subject to the NSA. I would also like to note that the failure of CMS to issue a clarification is creating real problems. Rural ground ambulance services are particularly harmed because they are often small companies or businesses with very limited resources — and many are struggling just to keep their doors open. Reports that some insurers are trying to force these rural providers to use the time consuming and IDR (Independent Dispute Resolution) process — when they are not even subject to it nor do they have an established qualified payment amount — this is concerning to me. I am dismayed CMS hasn’t issued the written clarification that would solve this confusion, and I hope this is an issue we will continue to keep an eye upon. Congresswoman Miller questioned Dr. Bleier on how the No Surprises Act implementation affects rural staffing shortages: “One issue that we hear about time and time again is the lack of staffing available in our health care workforce. In rural areas, it’s becoming harder and harder to find physicians that are willing to practice where their reimbursement rates are much lower. This is due to the coverage-mix of their patients.

The Methane Reduction and Economic Growth Act of 2023 will encourage the capture of mine methane to be used as energy, create and support American jobs, and enhance energy security. “Since my first term in Washington, I have been a strong advocate for increasing U.S. energy independence and unleashing domestic energy production,” said Congresswoman Miller. “I am grateful to CEO of CNX Resources, Nick DeIuliis, for joining our roundtable as we discussed ways we can further prioritize the development of local energy, like we have in Appalachia, rather than relying on foreign adversaries.

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) joined the West Virginia delegation including, Congressman Alex Mooney (R-WV), and Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) in sending a letter to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure. This letter urges Administrator Brooks-LaSure to consider a proposal of a “treat-in-place” model that will support West Virginia hospitals and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) providers while reducing unnecessary emergency room trips for low-acuity 911 calls. The West Virginia Office of Emergency Medical Services (OEMS) and the West Virginia Hospital Association (WVHA) sent a proposal to CMS to support the new “treat-in-place” model. Click here for full letter. On the consideration of a “treat-in-place” model proposal: We write to you to ask you to review the proposal submitted by the West Virginia Office of Emergency Medical Services (OEMS) and the West Virginia Hospital Association (WVHA) along with a small coalition of emergency medicine physicians, EMS providers, and payers to explore a statewide, multi-payer demonstration to address the workforce challenges faced by West Virginia hospitals and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) providers. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI), or “Innovation Center,” was authorized under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and tasked with designing, implementing, and testing new health care payment models to address growing concerns about rising costs, quality of care, and inefficient spending. We feel that the proposal submitted by the coalition of providers in West Virginia warrants a closer review by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and CMMI. On the lack of the “treat-in-place” model in West Virginia rural communities: During the Public Health Emergency (PHE), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) provided greater flexibility allowing EMS to treat certain conditions at the scene or transport patients to an alternative… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:37:48Z |

This bill will aim to eliminate contraband, including fentanyl and other synthetic opioids from being smuggled into Federal prison facilities through inmate postal and legal mail. “The fentanyl and opioid crises in America have devastated our communities and will continue to until we combat the flow of drugs throughout the United States,” said Congresswoman Miller. “The Interdiction of Fentanyl in Postal Mail at Federal Prisons Act will prevent fentanyl from being smuggled through postal mail into federal prisons and implement better living and working conditions at these facilities. The safety of our inmates, officers, and staff is of the utmost importance as we take crucial steps to stop the drug crisis in America.” “We must keep fentanyl out of the hands of inmates,” said Congressman Bacon. “Digitizing mail has been shown to be an effective method for keeping this deadly drug away from inmates and protecting employees who are tasked with processing the mail. Neglecting this simple solution diverts resources and threatens health and safety at our prisons.” Click here for bill text. Background: The Interdiction of Fentanyl in Postal Mail at Federal Prisons Act will demonstrate Congress’ support for safer working conditions for up to 38,000 correction officers and staff and avoid unnecessary exposure to drug substances in inmate postal mail. This bill will fund a program that will implement digital mail scanning systems in U.S. prisons. In 2020, the first MailGuard program was successfully tested at the Federal Correctional Institution in Beckley, West Virginia. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:37:48Z |

The proposed mining reforms undermine American energy independence, disrupt domestic energy production, and show yet another failure in the Biden administration's rush-to-green agenda. “The United States has abundant resources that should be used to promote energy production and economic growth," said Congresswoman Miller. "Mining in other countries when we have the ability to mine cleaner and cheaper in the United States is a slap in the face to American workers. The IWG’s recommendations will slow domestic mining and force us to rely more on foreign adversarial nations for the minerals we use every single day. West Virginia is full of natural resources that can stimulate jobs, improve U.S. mining capacity, and ensure our domestic energy production.” Background: DOI report includes 60 recommendations by the IWG, with the primary goal of reforming the General Mining Act of 1872. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:37:48Z |

This funding will be invested in the establishment of a health clinic that will include a permanent drive-thru facility, a pharmacy, fitness center, and a community health education center. The Boone Memorial Health and Wellness Center will continue to positively impact our community and prioritizing the wellbeing of patients in rural areas of West Virginia.” "Most importantly, the Boone Memorial Health and Wellness Center will bring the same level of experience, service, and compassion patients have come to expect from BMH," said Boone Memorial Health CEO Virgil Underwood. "Our partnerships with federal, state, and local governments continue to allow Boone Memorial Health to improve health equity by breaking down barriers to health care access while working to eliminate preventable health disparities.

This bill includes legislation that will provide patients with healthcare price transparency and lower costs across communities in the United States. "Unknown health care prices should not be a factor that patients are worried about when making health care decisions," said Congresswoman Miller. "Patients should know their health care treatment prices upfront and not be surprised by sky-high bills they were unaware of. My Clinical Laboratory Price Transparency Act being included in the Lower Costs, More Transparency Act will allow clinical labs to publish their prices upfront, so patients are given the opportunity to make wise health care decisions. I am looking forward to the passage of this bill on the House of Representatives floor which will put our patients first.” “Too often, American families are unable to obtain up-front price information for basic procedures like blood draws and tests,” said Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (MO-08). “I want to thank Rep.

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) and Congresswoman Terri Sewell (D-AL) published an Op-Ed in Roll Call on the importance of the Chronic Kidney Disease Improvement in Research and Treatment Act for kidney disease patients across the United States. The Chronic Kidney Disease Improvement in Research and Treatment Act was recently introduced by Congresswoman Miller and Congresswoman Sewell in the House of Representatives. This bill will expand the Medicare Annual Wellness Benefit to include kidney disease screening, include support for kidney disease therapies through the End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) payment bundle, and bolster the kidney care workforce in rural communities across the United States. We Must Help Improve the Outlook for Individuals Living with Chronic Kidney Disease Nationwide, roughly 37 million Americans — nearly five times the combined population of Alabama and West Virginia — live with chronic kidney disease. This illness, if not properly diagnosed and treated in time, can result in kidney failure. Each year, more than 130,000 Americans receive a diagnosis of kidney failure or end-stage renal disease (ESRD), an irreversible condition that can be fatal. If left untreated, chronic kidney disease will result in dialysis care or a kidney transplant. There are often no apparent symptoms of chronic kidney disease. Many of those with the condition may be unaware they have it. To address this problem, we need to expand access to prevention, education and treatment efforts that will help patients and providers more effectively recognize and treat this “silent killer.” That is why we have partnered to introduce the Chronic Kidney Disease Improvement in Research and Treatment Act (HR 5027) in the House of Representatives. If passed, this bipartisan legislation would aid the nationwide fight against chronic kidney disease by improving patient access to the most effective treatments, technology and innovations. The most important step in this fight is prevention. Our bill wou… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:35:26Z |

Congresswoman Miller has voiced strong opposition to this global socialist agenda negotiated by the Biden Administration. In a meeting with the OECD, the international association coordinating the global tax deal, members of the House Ways and Means Committee made clear that countries that attempt to use the OECD global tax deal to capture American tax revenues and harm our domestic job market can expect retaliation and economic consequences. “I am from southern West Virginia, and I am a small business owner and as a business owner, two things that always stand out is we want consistency…for Congress, who is the tax-writing body in the U.S. government, the time to engage with this has long passed because there’s very little chance that these kinds of things are going to pass until things are renegotiated and concerns are addressed. The project has gotten out of control, and that the U.S. tax base is becoming more of a golden egg to fund foreign governments… I strongly urge that the OECD puts the brakes on rushing the negotiations and to ensure either the GILTI is grandfathered in or that the guidance around the UTPR [Undertaxed Profits Rule] is drastically scaled back and the U.S. and our companies will not become a source for foreign nations who have driven away competition and innovation through their own draconian domestic policies,” said Congresswoman Miller. The deal negotiated by the Biden Administration, without consulting Congress, surrenders America’s sovereignty over our tax laws, gives foreign competitors like China an economic advantage, and would cause the United States to forfeit over $120 billion of tax revenue over the next decade.

The report highlighted the New River Gorge’s generation of $9.1 million of economic output and over 1,000 new jobs for West Virginia. “The New River Gorge showcases the best of West Virginia," said Congresswoman Miller. "When the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve Designation Act was introduced, I was confident in how the new designation would promote tourism while protecting West Virginia’s abundant resources. From its natural beauty to the positive economic impact, the United States is better off having the New River Gorge as a national park." Background: In October 2019, Congresswoman Miller introduced the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve Designation Act which would redesignate the New River Gorge National River as a National Park and Preserve. Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) introduced companion legislation in the Senate. In December 2020, language to make the New River Gorge a national park was included in end of year funding and signed into law by President Trump, creating the 63rd national park. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:30:18Z |

Congresswoman Miller accompanied officers in an observational capacity as law enforcement officers conducted the operation. “The fight for the United States is not overseas or at the border, but it’s right here in our communities. When Speaker McCarthy appointed me to serve on the task force to combat Mexican drug cartels, it was important to see firsthand what was happening at the front lines. Witnessing ICE and law enforcement lay their lives on the line to protect Americans every day was a humbling experience I won’t soon forget. I will continue fighting to stop the flow of drugs and human trafficking that comes across the southern border every single day,” said Congresswoman Miller. Since her first term in Congress, Congresswoman Miller has been fighting to secure the border to prevent drugs and crime from affecting communities in the United States. She currently serves on Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) Congressional task force targeted on combating Mexican drug cartels. Congresswoman Miller joined the Field Office Director Cammilla Wamsley for a pre-operational briefing and rode along with law enforcement to where the operation took place.

The Kidney PATIENT Act will provide access to critical care and affordable oral medicines for chronic kidney disease patients. “Kidney patients should be able to access as many therapies as possible, as cost-effectively as possible,” said Congresswoman Miller. “Access to oral-only drugs is critical to many patients. The Kidney PATIENT Act will not only save taxpayers money but provide affordable treatment for kidney patients across the country.” “We cannot let bureaucracy get in the way of patients’ health and well-being,” said Congressman Carter. “As a pharmacist, I know just how important it is for patients, especially those with kidney disease, to be able to access and afford the medicine prescribed by their doctor. This is bipartisan, it’s been done before, and it will save taxpayer dollars. Let’s pass this bill and stop CMS from gambling with patients’ lives.” “Patients with complex medical conditions like End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) must have access to the medications that they need,” said Congresswoman Kuster. “Changes in Medicare’s ESRD Prospective Payment System could create barriers to essential medications and should be delayed until it's clear that patients’ access will not be impacted." “The Kidney PATIENT Act is key to maintaining access to oral only medications that have been proven to increase the quality of life for millions of Americans experiencing kidney disease," said Congresswoman Sewell.

Click here to read the full letter. "To be abundantly clear: Congress controls tax policy, not the Biden Administration,” said Congresswoman Miller. “The current tax negotiations with the OECD will effectively send American tax dollars to fund global socialist programs, instead of serving our families and funding our military. We will continue to demand Secretary Yellen stops conceding to unelected bureaucrats and undermining Congressional authority.” "Secretary Yellen and Biden negotiators have put America last as they make tax deals that undermine our sovereignty and harm the U.S. economy and jobs," said Congressman Estes. "Rep. Miller and I are demanding answers and accountability from Treasury to safeguard our U.S. tax base from the disastrous tax scheme cooked up by Biden officials who, ignoring concerns from Congress, are putting the interests of foreign countries over the American people." The letter has been signed by the following members of the Ways and Means Committee: Reps. Carol Miller (R-WV), Ron Estes (R-KS), Adrian Smith (R-NE), Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), Drew Ferguson (R-GA), Lloyd Smucker (R-PA), Greg Murphy, M.D. (R-NC), Claudia Tenney (R-NY), Blake Moore (R-UT), Michelle Steel (R-CA), Beth Van Duyne (R-TX), Randy Feenstra (R-IA) and Mike Carey (R-OH). On Biden Administration’s global tax negotiations with the OECD: We write to you today to express our continued frustration and grave concerns with the Biden Administration’s unprecedented and anti-America concessions throughout the OECD global tax negotiations.

Miller, Colleagues Introduce the Build the Wall and Fight Fentanyl Act | 2023-08-01 | 2023 | 2023-08 | Republican | House | WV | Carol D. Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) joined Congressman Randy Feenstra (R-IA) in introducing the Build the Wall and Fight Fentanyl Act. This legislation would equally dedicate assets confiscated from drug traffickers or other transnational criminal organizations by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to two separate funds to build the border wall and fight the fentanyl crisis impacting rural communities. The two funds – which would be housed at the U.S. Department of the Treasury – are the “Southern Border Wall Fulfillment Fund” and the “Combating The Fentanyl Epidemic Fund.” Any assets seized from the drug cartels include the proceeds from said assets upon their sale at auction. “The open southern border has brought a flood of drugs and crime that has taken too many American lives,” said Congresswoman Miller. “I am honored to cosponsor Congressman Feenstra’s Build the Wall and Fight Fentanyl Act which will ensure federal resources are allocated to build the border wall and halt the fentanyl crisis in the United States. It is long past time to secure the southern border.” “Criminal drug traffickers have smuggled enough fentanyl into our country to kill every man, woman, and child in the United States, and tragically, too many families know the pain of losing a loved one to this deadly crisis,” said Congressman Feenstra. “As a father of four, I’m proud to introduce the Build the Wall and Fight Fentanyl Act, which will fund two separate priorities – building the border wall and supporting fentanyl treatment and recovery services – with assets confiscated from the drug cartels by our brave border patrol agents. While President Biden has failed to uphold his oath of office and secure our border, I remain committed to delivering real solutions to the border crisis by beating the drug traffickers at their own game and using their illegal financial gains to finish the border wall and support our famili… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:30:18Z |

This legislation will expand the Medicare Annual Wellness Benefit to include kidney disease screening, support innovative kidney therapies within the End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) payment bundle, and encourage the kidney care workforce in rural and underserved areas. Click here for bill text. “West Virginia has the highest mortality rate of chronic kidney disease in the country, and I am working to change that. The Chronic Kidney Disease Improvement in Research and Treatment Act is exactly what my constituents need,” said Congresswoman Miller. “Being on the Ways and Means Health Subcommittee, I’m focused on legislation that will benefit the health and wellbeing of my state. This bill will provide the necessary resources and affordable access to treatment for patients suffering with chronic kidney disease in communities across West Virginia and the country. This is the first step in preventing the ‘silent killer’ from taking more American lives.” “Tens of millions of Americans are impacted by kidney disease,” said Congresswoman Sewell. “For too many Alabamians, its negative health effects are accompanied by financial challenges and barriers to receiving care. Increasing access to quality, affordable health care continues to be one of my top priorities in Congress, and I’m so proud to introduce the Chronic Kidney Disease Improvement in Research and Treatment Act with Congresswoman Miller. This legislation will make critical improvements to the way patients with kidney disease, especially those in underserved communities, access and receive care.” “From expanding prevention and education resources to encouraging the development of breakthrough technologies and treatments, the Chronic Kidney Disease Improvement in Research and Treatment Act sets the stage for the future of kidney care,” said John P.

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) joined the Conservative Political Action Coalition (CPAC) for an anti human trafficking summit. Remarks as prepared are below. Click here to watch Rep. Miller speak on the panel. Thank you for having me today. This is a sobering topic, but not one we should shy away from. Americans are well aware of the broader crisis at the southern border. The media and politicians are quick to highlight the flood of illegal drugs and illegal immigrants into the United States, but the evil of human trafficking is often overlooked. It’s nearly impossible to know the exact statistics of human trafficking. Mexican cartels have found that trafficking people is actually more profitable than drug smuggling. Think of the moral repercussions that the open southern border has. Parents are lured to America with the false promise of a better life. They figure that to give them the American dream, they sell their children to the cartels who will transport them to the states, but those children are often trafficked and forced into slave labor and sex slavery. The American dream becomes a never-ending nightmare for these children. House Republicans see the layers of devastation happening at the southern border and I have seen it first-hand. I have travelled on Congressional delegation trips to the Border, to Mexico, and to several other Latin American countries. What I learned on all these trips is how important a range of U.S. policies is to protecting women and girls. From trade policy to border policy, we must use our full range of options to stop the horror of human trafficking. Speaker McCarthy formed the ‘Combatting Mexican Cartels’ taskforce to put legislative solutions in place that will restore integrity back to Americas borders. I am proud to serve on this task force. As the taskforce meets and gathers information, it becomes clearer and clearer that human trafficking is a massive problem that will continue to get worse until we take power away from the cartels.

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) introduced the Rural Jobs Act which will create a focused New Market Tax Credit (NMTC) allocation of $1 billion over the years of 2023 and 2024 for impoverished rural communities in America. “With the largest city in West Virginia qualifying as a Rural Jobs Zone, I know how impactful the Rural Jobs Act will be on Americans in rural communities," said Congresswoman Miller. “This bill will create jobs and opportunities for rural Americans through a tax credit which will boost investment through public-private partnerships in the communities that need it most. Americans who don’t live in big cities are often neglected, but with this bill, rural communities become a priority. I am honored to lead on this legislation and fight for resources for all Americans, regardless of where they live.” “The New Market Tax Credit is a lifeline for rural communities across the country and right here in Alabama’s 7th District, spurring much needed investment and creating good-paying jobs in regions that need them most,” Representative Sewell said. “By expanding the NMTC, the Rural Jobs Act recognizes the promise and the potential of some of our most underserved communities, which is why I am proud to serve as the Democratic lead as we introduce this critical legislation. This is one more step toward ensuring that our rural, underserved communities in the Black Belt and throughout Alabama are not left behind.” This legislation has been previously introduced by Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) and Congresswoman Terri Sewell (D-AL), Senators Roger Wicker (R-MS), Mark Warner (D-VA), Jerry Moran (R-KS), Mike Braun (R-IN), and John Boozman (R-AR) have introduced companion legislation in the Senate.

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | July 27, 2023 WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) released the following statement after Chief Justice Roberts vacated stays issued by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals regarding the Mountain Valley Pipeline. The construction of the Mountain Valley Pipeline will now resume without delay. “All three branches of government agree: the completion of the Mountain Valley Pipeline is legal and must be finished immediately," said Congresswoman Miller. "The American people are tired of politics interfering with domestic energy production in the name of climate change, and I am looking forward to Mountain Valley Pipeline’s swift completion which will lower energy costs and provide jobs across West Virginia.” Background: Congresswoman Miller has led efforts to ensure the Mountain Valley Pipeline is completed. Most recently, Congresswoman Miller, along with Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) and Representatives Alex Mooney (R-WV) and Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) and five other members of Congress filed an amicus brief on restarting Mountain Valley Pipeline Construction, regardless of the fourth circuit court’s baseless blocking of the pipeline. Congresswoman Miller played a crucial role in including the completion of the Mountain Valley Pipeline into the Fiscal Responsibility Act and introducing the Completing American Pipelines Act in March of 2023. With inflation and American natural gas prices at record highs, the completion of the Mountain Valley Pipeline will bring hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue to West Virginia without raising taxes and send strong signals to global energy markets that the United States is a stable energy producer. The pipeline will provide up to 2 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day from the Marcellus and Utica shale formations to consumers in North Carolina and South Carolina within months of this legislation being signed into law. The Mountain Valley Pipeline will sustain about 5,800 jobs and $5.9 billion in economic activity in West Virginia and Virginia… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:18:03Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) introduced the Clinical Laboratory Price Transparency Act which will provide patients with clear price transparency when making health care decisions regarding clinical laboratory tests. This bill will require clinical labs to publish their health care prices and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to monitor compliance. "Unknown health care prices should not be a factor patients are worried about when making health care decisions," said Congresswoman Miller. "Patients should know their health care treatment prices upfront and not be surprised by sky-high bills they didn't know they would be getting charged for. This legislation provides price transparency for patients when considering basic lab tests and ensures the patients is in control of their health care decisions and wellbeing." “Too often, American families are unable to obtain up-front price information for basic procedures like blood draws and tests,” said Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (MO-08). “I want to thank Rep. Miller for her leadership in introducing the Clinical Laboratory Price Transparency Act that will empower patients to comparison shop for affordable, quality lab work in their community.” Click here for bill text. Background: The Clinical Laboratory Price Transparency Act will require labs, effective January 1, 2025, under Medicare to publish their health care prices, require CMS to provide standard reporting formats for providers to use, and ensure CMS specifies the services to which transparency will apply while monitoring compliance. This legislation will be included in a larger price transparency package to be marked-up by the Ways and Means Committee on July 26th, 2023. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:18:03Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) published an Op-Ed in Fox News on the global minimum tax regime that the Biden Administration has negotiated through the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) which will surrender American tax dollars to foreign countries. Congresswoman Miller highlights how these failed negotiations hurt American taxpayers and the economic development of U.S. businesses by ceding our economy to global socialism. Op-Ed: The Quiet New Way Biden Wants to Tax You It’s been said that there are two things certain in life: death and taxes. With Joe Biden as President of the United States, you can also be sure that you will be paying more than your fair share of the taxes you owe. Americans have already been crushed by inflation caused by the Biden Administration. But now, they want to add fuel to the fire by giving American taxes to foreign countries, raising costs for Americans, and sticking us with the bill for funding a global socialist agenda. Over the past 2 years, President Biden and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen have negotiated a global minimum tax through the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD). This organization surrenders America’s sovereignty over our tax code and allows foreign countries to take our taxes that were meant for our own essential programs and military. In short, Biden and Yellen were failures in their tax negotiations. Now Republicans in Congress must clean up their mess. At a time when the United States is actively vying to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving global economy, allowing American businesses to be subjected to mandatory foreign taxes that would pay for woke, green policies in other countries are irrational and absurd. “Globalists” will tell you this is better for the American economy. They are wrong. The Founding Fathers purposely entrusted Congress with developing our country’s tax code. We will not cede that authority to unelected global bureaucrats, as President Biden wants to… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:18:03Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) joined Representatives Ronny Jackson (R-TX), Derek Kilmer (D-WA) and 21 of their colleagues in co-sponsoring the bipartisan Rural Hospital Technical Assistance Program Act which will provide support to hospitals in rural America. This bill will make permanent a program under the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) that provides technical assistance for rural hospitals to help prevent closures, strengthens essential healthcare services in rural communities, and improves financial and operational performance. “Hospitals, health care workers, and patients in rural West Virginia deserve the same benefits and assistance like any other hospital across the United States,” said Congresswoman Miller. “Bipartisan bills such as this make sure hospitals are provided with the resources they need to deliver the best care for patients in rural communities. Keeping our rural hospitals open ensures access to health care services for all Americans and is my number one priority in Congress.” “From my career as a physician and my experience growing up in West Texas, I understand the importance of rural health care. While rural America faces many challenges, health care must be immediately addressed,” said Congressman Jackson. “The rural hospital closure crisis continues to intensify with more than 500 rural hospitals nationwide vulnerable to closures soon, and Texas’ Thirteenth Congressional District is home to more rural hospitals than any other district in the state. My district has seen first-hand the challenges faced by rural hospitals, with Bowie Hospital closing in 2020 and Chillicothe Hospital closing in 2019. Programs like the one created by the Rural Hospital Technical Assistance Program Act are vital to ensuring rural America continues to have access to quality care, which is why I am proud to introduce this legislation along with Congressman Kilmer to help prevent rural hospitals from shutting their doors and ensure that rural communities have access to the… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:18:03Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Yesterday, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) questioned a panel of witnesses in a Ways and Means Tax Subcommittee hearing on the impact on American companies if the global minimum tax was to take effect. She highlighted the Biden Administration’s failure to negotiate on behalf of the American taxpayer and how foreign governments will be profiting off American tax dollars. Click here for video. Congresswoman Miller began by asking how the Undertaxed Profits Rule (UTPR) would impact American companies. “It's of the utmost importance that we stopped the OECD's forced march to socialism. I appreciate the opportunity to talk to our expert witnesses here today on how the Biden administration has failed the American people and attempted to abdicate key congressional responsibilities to unelected global bureaucrats who do not have our best interest in their heart in the slightest, said Congresswoman Miller. “Ms. Herzfeld, have experts warn the UTPR may violate the terms of bilateral tax treaties?” “Yes, they have,” responded Ms. Herzfeld, Professor of Tax Practice, University of Florida Levin College of Law. “Could you describe just how foreign governments could tax U.S. based companies under UTPR?” asked Congresswoman Miller. “UTPR looks at every company multinational operates and it says ‘to the extent that anywhere in the world a company is not paying a 15% rate, then other countries have the right to tax that income and it includes also the parent company's income," continued Ms. Herzfeld. "So it means that if because of credits or other incentives, a U.S. company is not paying a 15% rate in the U.S. Other countries have the right to tax that income. Taxing another jurisdictions income is a treaty violation.” Congresswoman Miller proceeded to ask more about how the global minimum tax would hurt the American economy. “The OECD arrangement doesn't stop countries from competing to attract business, investment, and jobs. It just makes the current U.S. system less competitive. What makes this ag… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:18:03Z |

On July 11, 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit again halted construction of the 303-mile pipeline, which is nearly 95% complete, despite Congress and the President's explicit approval of the project through the passage of the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission green-lighted the construction on July 9, 2023. If completed, this pipeline will help reduce energy costs for hardworking Americans in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia. It will also stimulate the economies of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia with thousands of construction jobs, millions in royalties to landowners (including $150 million per year for Pennsylvania), and direct investments into rural communities. “Because of the bipartisan Fiscal Responsibility Act, the Mountain Valley Pipeline will be completed. The Fourth Circuit no longer has any jurisdiction over the Mountain Valley Pipeline and Republicans are fighting back," said Congresswoman Miller. "While it is unfortunate that this amicus brief and case are necessary, I look forward to the Supreme Court coming to a swift decision confirming Congress’ intent to increase domestic energy production, particularly in West Virginia. I continue to encourage the parties involved with construction of the Mountain Valley Pipeline to ignore the fourth circuit and complete production as scheduled." “By filing this amicus brief, my colleagues and I are speaking directly to the Supreme Court, urging them to uphold the clear intent of the language we included in the bipartisan Fiscal Responsibility Act, which was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Biden," said Senator Capito.

This legislation will prevent U.S. jobs and tax revenues from being surrendered to foreign governments through the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)’s Pillar 2 also known as the Under Taxed Profit Rule (UTPR) surtax. If foreign countries issue the UTPR surtax on American businesses and taxpayers, under the Unfair Tax Prevention Act the United States will impose reciprocal tax measures on the foreign country for as long as the unnecessary UTPR surtax remains in place. Click here for bill text. "Republicans in Congress reject the premise that foreign governments and organizations should be dictating how Americans are taxed in America," said Congresswoman Miller. "As I’ve previously warned, countries that implement the UTPR will feel the repercussions of their bad tax policies. The Unfair Tax Prevention Act stands up for American businesses and tax payers by ensuring companies from country’s that target U.S. businesses will feel the pain more than ours do." “After repeated objections from policymakers, including myself, and business leaders, the Biden administration has negotiated a deal with the OECD that has a disproportionately negative effect on the United States and our economic competitiveness,” said Congressman Estes. “Building on the Defending American Jobs and Investment Act, introduced by Ways and Means Republicans, this legislation protects the U.S. tax base from unfair extraterritorial taxes by foreign countries – and imposes stiff penalties on those countries if they implement them. It’s time for the OECD and foreign countries to abandon the UTPR surtax and its fundamental flaws.” “Congressional Republicans are not going to turn a blind eye to other countries – emboldened by the Biden Administration's dangerous and misguided policies – targeting U.S.… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:18:03Z |

Congresswoman Miller has been outspoken about the global socialist agenda and when questioning a treasury official on the Biden Administration’s position on socialism, he could not answer. Click here for full clip. Rep. Miller started out by highlighting the Biden Administration’s failure to negotiate productive policy with the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and how that negatively impacts the American taxpayer. "I am really incredibly disappointed and quite frankly, disgusted by the Biden administration's abject failure to negotiate in America's best interests at the OECD. In my view, you and your colleagues have completely failed your fiduciary responsibility to the American taxpayers, American workers and American companies… It’s reprehensible and downright outrageous. It's very hard for me to believe. The American people empower you to negotiate on their behalf, and instead you've surrendered to global socialist tax scheme that will ultimately make America poorer and less competitive, placing our children and grandchildren, our children and our grandchildren, their future at risk, not to mention that you've denigrated our nation's status as a beacon of strength, democracy, and capitalism in an increasingly dangerous world." Congresswoman Miller proceeded to ask: “Do you consider socialism to be a key goal of the Biden administration?" Mr. Plowigan could not answer. Click here for video. Congresswoman Miller responded by laying out the facts on how the OECD and their global socialism policies would devastate the American economy. "The OECD tax project is a thinly veiled attempt to neuter the US economy and drive America into the arms of global socialism. Europe's economy struggles to adapt to the modern world.

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) released the following statement on the passage of the FY24 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) in the House of Representatives. Click here for bill text. “The passage of the NDAA demonstrates that House Republicans are continuing to deliver on our commitment to keep the United States safe,” said Congresswoman Miller. “As our service members make sacrifices protecting the United States’ national security, it’s crucial that we continue to strengthen and improve our defense, instead of enacting a woke agenda in our military. Our national security should not be compromised by radical ideals that have nothing to do with protecting the United States. This legislation puts Americans first.” Background: The FY24 NDAA prioritizes United States national defense, supports service members, and prevents radical woke ideology in the military. This legislation will also include an increase in pay, improve housing for service members, access to healthcare for U.S. service members, and provide resources to protect the United States from foreign adversaries. FY24 NDAA - Cost Savings and Reforms: Saves $40 billion of taxpayer's money. Service members Pay and Benefits: Provides a 5.2% increase in pay for service members, making it the largest pay raise in over 20 years. Deterrence: Increases funding to enhance United States deterrence and defense in the Indo-Pacific region as well as the innovation of new technologies. Strengthens Homeland Defense and Prevents CCP Espionage: Requires the Department of Defense to be laser focused on countering rising threats from the Chinese Communist Party. Supports Taiwan and Pacific Allies: This legislation reaffirms U.S. defense support for Taiwan and prevents Chinese influence operations. Oversight: Increases oversight on Ukraine security assistance. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:18:03Z |

This task force will work to create policies that will prevent drug cartel operations from crossing southern borders and keep United States communities safe from crime, fentanyl, and other drug substances. "West Virginia has experienced first hand the devastation fentanyl has on communities," said Congresswoman Miller. "Being on the task force to combat Mexican cartels is something I do not take lightly. This is the start of cutting off these deadly drugs off at the source and beating the crisis at the Southern border. I thank Speaker McCarthy and Congressman Crenshaw for their leadership and vigilance in protecting our country from cartels that want to destroy the United States." “I am proud to be leading this Congressional task force specifically focused on neutralizing the Mexican drug cartels,” said Congressman Dan Crenshaw. “The cartels have operational control over our southern border, facilitate and take advantage of our immigration crisis, and are killing tens of thousands of Americans every year with fentanyl. Until now, Congress has not taken this threat seriously nor have we shown the American people that we have a plan to deal with these transnational criminal organizations. This task force will rectify that by fully investigating cartel activity, producing policy recommendations, educating the American public, and bringing legislation to the House floor to wholistically target the drug cartels so they can no longer threaten our safety and sovereignty. I applaud Speaker McCarthy for recognizing the severity of this issue and thank him for the opportunity to lead this task force.” Joining Representatives Miller and Crenshaw are Representatives Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-MO-03), Rick Crawford (R-AR-01), Brian Babin (R-TX-36), Glenn Grothman (R-WI-06), Warren Davidson (R-OH-08), Andy Biggs (R-AZ-05), Clay Higg… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:18:03Z |

Congresswoman Miller secured Community Project Funding for this project in the Fiscal Year 2023 funding worth $200,000. “Being able to interact with these young students was fruitful. I encouraged them to be bold and not be afraid to take a chance in approaching their future," said Congresswoman Miller. "It is important we invest in West Virginia’s children, so they want to be part of West Virginia’s economic success. Providing the resources our children need brings the opportunity for hard working West Virginians to be successful. We want our kids to stay here and to flourish." Background: Jobs for West Virginia’s Graduates is a non-profit program for high school students facing challenges to their success. The mission is to help students find post-graduation success in employment, post-secondary education, or the military. Jobs for West Virginia’s Graduates uses the proven strategies created by Jobs for America’s Graduates and has a 96% graduation rate and 78% job placement success rate. Jobs for West Virginia Graduates is in its second year of operations. The program is currently active in all Logan and McDowell County high schools and is serving 300 students.

The letter urges the EPA to provide a 120-day extension for the comment period and to facilitate public hearings for areas affected by the proposed regulations in the New Carbon Rule. Congresswoman Miller introduced the Protect our Power Plants Act (POPP) with Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) which will prevent the EPA from imposing rules that will lead to the closure of coal- and gas-fired power plants. Click here to read the full letter. On the limited public engagement in the rulemaking process for the New Carbon Rule: “We write to express our deep concerns regarding the limited opportunities for public engagement in the rulemaking process for the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) New Carbon Rule, as published in the Federal Register last month. The proposal introduces new legal interpretations and presents sweeping claims about the future of technologies and infrastructure used in powering our electric grid. However, the drafted proposal appears to exceed the EPA's statutory limits under Section 111 of the Clean Air Act, as clearly articulated by the Supreme Court in West Virginia v. EPA.” On urging the EPA to provide a 120-day extension to the comment period: “As representatives of the coal industry and the communities it supports, we firmly believe that the voices of our constituents deserve to be heard and valued throughout the rulemaking process. We therefore strongly urge the EPA to extend the comment period by at least 120 days after August 8, 2023 to allow for the necessary legal, economic, technical, and grid analyses to be conducted. It is crucial to fully understand the potential legal and practical issues, assess the ongoing EPA power sector dockets, and heed the warning signs that inadequate consideration of these factors could result in irreversible and tragic consequences.” On EPA’… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:08:25Z |

The roundtable discussion focused on policies that highlight the importance of American energy independence and stop the Biden Administration’s war on energy. “The United States produces energy cleaner, safer, and more efficiently than anywhere else in the world,” said Congresswoman Miller. “We should be empowering American energy production instead of buying oil and gas from our adversaries. When we increase domestic energy production, costs for Americans go down. The House Republican majority knows energy security is national security, and we will continue to hold the Biden Administration and Senate Democrats accountable for their anti-American energy policies.” “I am grateful to join Rep. Carol Miller and Americans for Prosperity policy fellow Marc Marie for an important discussion with energy industry and community leaders today in Huntington on unleashing American energy independence by passing H.R. 1, The Lower Energy Costs Act. This bill would bolster American energy production and reduce our reliance on adversaries by making commonsense reforms to our nation’s outdated permitting laws. The reforms in H.R. 1 are critical to economic growth all across our country, including southern Ohio,” said Congressman Wenstrup. “I firmly believe that we need to make America the best place to do big things, and permitting reform is an important step towards unlocking abundance for our nation. It will lead to us building more homes, more factories, and more infrastructure, producing more critical minerals, energy, and pharmaceutical ingredients, and ultimately making us a more prosperous nation.” Background: Americans for Prosperity is a political advocacy organization that has coalitions of more than two dozen groups including the Heritage Action, … | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:08:25Z |

"This critical partnership to integrate academic medicine will be an invaluable asset to the patients in the care of surgeons, physicians, physical therapists, and other health professionals. I look forward to seeing this partnership progress and the opportunities it brings to strengthen the health care workforce in Appalachia." “We have the best in-class orthopaedics and athletic training services,” said Christian Spears, Marshall University Athletic Director. “Fully integrating and aligning our resources and services to support not just our athletes but our community and region made sense to us all. This partnership is only going to get better as we continue to grow and expand together, which will benefit all those with sports medicine or rehabilitation needs.” Background: The Marshall Sports Medicine Institute (MSMI) is a collaboration between Marshall Health, Marshall Athletics, and the Cabell Huntington Hospital.

The whistleblower’s testimony included evidence of special treatment from the IRS and the Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding Hunter Biden’s taxes and financial situation. The whistleblower’s report showed a lack of tax law enforcement and intentional delays within the investigation from the DOJ. Congresswoman Miller released the following statement. “The brave IRS whistleblower’s testimony regarding Hunter Biden’s financial situation is disturbing," said Congresswoman Miller. "As President Biden’s son, he has been able to avoid many charges for the heinous crimes he committed, while the IRS and DOJ continue to target everyday Americans for their Venmo transactions or their religious beliefs.

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Last week, the Committee on Ways and Means passed three major bill packages, including Congresswoman Carol Miller’s (R-WV) bill The Saving Gig Economy Taxpayers Act. For the past two years, Congresswoman Miller has been working with Republicans to fix another liberal tax increase in the American Rescue Plan which targets hardworking taxpayers and independent contractors who use online services, payment platforms, and marketplaces. This bill will return the 1099-K reporting requirement to the time tested $20,000 and 200 separate transactions from the Democrats' disastrous budget gimmick, which lowered the threshold to just $600. Democrats in Congress won’t acknowledge the tax nightmare they’ve created for working class Americans and failed to fix the issue in the FY23 omnibus spending package, leaving taxpayers days away from disaster. “The Saving Gig Economy Taxpayers Act will protect Americans who use online payment platforms, gig economy workers, and small e-commerce sellers from being taken advantage of and will ensure they continue to have access to reliable income streams,” said Congresswoman Miller. “Because of Democrat’s change to the 1099-K threshold, an American getting rid of old exercise equipment from his garage online now qualifies as a salesman of workout equipment, a teenager babysitting the neighbors’ kids is in the childcare business, and roommates who split rent are now property managers, and are all eligible to be taxed by the IRS. The Republican led House will restore the 1099-K threshold to levels that were working just fine before Democrats complicated the system. I thank my colleagues on the Ways and Means Committee to supporting this bill and I look forward to the passage of this bill on the House floor as soon as possible.” Watch Congresswoman Miller discuss the Saving Gig Economy Taxpayers Act in the markup. “Thank you, Chairman, for including my bill H.R. 190 – the Saving Gig Economy Taxpayers Act - in the Small Business Jobs Act.

The bipartisn Energy Export Caucus is focused on implementing an all-of-the-above energy agenda that promotes American energy independence. Republicans and Democrats can agree on energy policy. We're proof. America faces significant challenges in securing its energy independence. Despite partisan divisions, the scientific community, industry leaders, and policymakers have shared goals to ensure Americans have access to affordable, reliable, and clean sources of energy. That’s why we formed the Congressional Energy Export Caucus — to implement a pro-energy trade agenda to promote all-of-the-above American energy solutions. Sound energy policy can stabilize the global energy market, strengthen our economy, and bolster American national security. Getting the right energy policy for America is more important than political differences. As the United States lessens its energy production and exports, OPEC+ willingly meets the global energy demand. This weakens our influence in a world where Europe and our allies are trying to become less dependent on bad actors, like Russia and China, amidst serious global conflicts and rising tensions between democracies and autocracies. There is an energy vacuum, and our adversaries are filling it while the United States watches from the sidelines. Talk is not enough. We need tangible action from both sides of the aisle. Fundamentally, decreasing American energy production signals to the world that we have forgotten the painful lessons we learned from the OPEC+ oil embargo and the catastrophic impact it had on the world. When the United States promotes strong energy production, for both traditional and renewable energy, global energy prices should stabilize.

On the United States Taiwan Initiative on 21st- Century Trade First Agreement Implementation Act: “Apparently while the current Administration has been busy making trade suggestions, our adversaries have been very busy outmaneuvering us at every turn when it comes to trade, especially in the indo-pacific. The United States Taiwan Initiative on 21st-Century Trade First Agreement Implementation Act is an important step to reasserting Congressional authority over trade, sending a strong message to China that they must respect Taiwan’s sovereignty, and showing that the United States will not bow to threats or intimidation and will continue to support Taiwan. I commend the Chairman and Ranking Member’s leadership and the bipartisan support of this commonsense bill.” Click Here for Video. On the Small Business Jobs Act: “Thank you, Chairman, for including my bill H.R. 190 – the Saving Gig Economy Taxpayers Act - in the Small Business Jobs Act. My bill, which is co-sponsored by all Republican Ways and Means members, is a huge step in turning back the Democrat's disastrous American Rescue Plan provision which will send tens of millions of forms to taxpayers and small businesses in every congressional district. Even the IRS knew that lowering the threshold would be a disaster, so they single handedly and extra-legally delayed implementing the lower threshold for another year.

Op-Ed: West Virginia's Future is Still in the Coal Mines “Before West Virginia was a state, the impact of coal formed the makeup of America. Coal has a long, rich history of spurring economic growth and energy production–and that shouldn’t change anytime soon. “Washington Democrats have had little respect for the deep roots coal has in West Virginia’s communities, workers, and economy. Due the trend of “green policies,” the far left has waged war on coal. Many coal mines have been forced to close or been abandoned, causing communities to be uprooted and jobs to disappear. “Specifically, southern West Virginia has been left devastated and forgotten by the war on coal. McDowell County was once a thriving community with over 100,000 people, but a generation later, the census revealed there were only 19,111 people left because the jobs and opportunities dried up. This heartbreaking reality is seen across my entire Wild and Wonderful state. It’s apparent to me that Washington Democrats didn’t have West Virginians’ livelihoods in mind when they crafted their anti-coal agenda. We need to bring jobs back to West Virginia and jump-start the massive economic growth potential in our state. “That’s why I’m introducing The Methane Reduction and Economic Growth Act. This legislation re-purposes both abandoned and active coal mines that are emitting methane gas that can be used as an energy source. It would update and amend the section 45Q tax credit for carbon oxide sequestration so that any mine which releases methane as a greenhouse gas can be eligible to claim the credit. This will allow methane to be captured and injected into a pipeline for energy use. Utilization of this methane to enhance our nation’s natural gas supply will compliment new natural … | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:08:25Z |

The Protect Our Power Plants (POPP) Act outlines the illegalities of the EPA’s latest proposal, which attempts to severely restrict power generation at new and existing facilities, and states, “the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency may not finalize, implement, or enforce” the proposed rule. “The Environment Protection Agency has overstepped their role and is waging war on power plants across the United States. The Biden administration and Washington Democrats continue to shut down domestic energy production in the name of their Green New Deal agenda while the United States should be focused on maintaining its energy dominance. West Virginia will not stand for this spineless, and frankly, ridiculous rule. Senator Capito and I are focused on promoting American energy policies that will ensure West Virginia remains an energy dominant state for years to come. The Protect Our Power Plants Act is a needed check on Washington Democrats’ radical environmental policies and promotes American energy production,” said Congresswoman Miller. “With its Clean Power Plan 2.0, the Biden administration has made it quite clear they intend to ignore the Supreme Court’s ruling in West Virginia v. EPA, put the people who help power our nation out of work, and increase energy costs for millions of Americans. In the face of this illegal overreach, Congresswoman Miller and I are standing up for workers and families in energy-producing communities across the country, including those in West Virginia. The Protect Our Power Plants Act would maintain America’s status as a leading global energy producer and prevent the EPA’s current proposal from inflicting further damage on our state,” said Senator Capito. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:08:25Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) introduced the Methane Reduction and Economic Growth Act of 2023. This bipartisan bill focuses on capturing and repurposing mine methane emissions from active and abandoned mines to be used as an energy resource across the United States. Click here for bill text. Click here for Bloomberg's exclusive on the Methane Reduction and Economic Growth Act of 2023. Joining Congresswoman Miller are Representatives Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA), Terri Sewell (D-AL), and Chris Deluzio (D-PA). “Coal has been the bedrock of West Virginia for generations, and I’m making sure it stays that way," said Congresswoman Miller. "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. The Methane Reduction and Economic Growth Act is a win for energy security, clean air, and the American economy." “Methane is one of the leading contributors to climate change, which is why Congress must incentivize innovative approaches to reduce emissions such as methane capture technology,” said Congresswoman Sewell. “This legislation will help create new, green energy jobs while also cleaning up our air and advancing environmental justice.” “Our tax code currently incentivizes the capture of carbon oxide emissions – but not mine methane, which accounts for a tenth of all U.S. methane emissions,” said Congressman Reschenthaler. “This omission should be added to boost America’s energy security and spur new economic production in southwestern Pennsylvania. I thank Representatives Miller and Sewell for their leadership in spearheading the commonsense Methane Reduction and Economic Growth Act that supports the proper capture and utilization of mine methane.” "This bill will incentivize efforts to capture methane emissions from mines and to turn them into a source powering our grid and e… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:08:25Z |

Miller Announces $498,840 for Water System Projects in McDowell County | 2023-06-08 | 2023 | 2023-06 | Republican | House | WV | Carol D. Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) announced $498,840 secured through Community Project Funding from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the DigDeep Right to Water Project that will be invested into a sanitary septic and sewerage service project in McDowell County. “The health and wellbeing of West Virginians is my priority in Congress,” said Congresswoman Miller. “Securing this funding and investing it into cleaner and safer water systems is crucial for the prosperity of our community. I was honored to visit and speak at events hosted by DigDeep and now am excited to see this grant aid in the revitalization of our septic and sewage systems to improve the lives of McDowell County residents." Background: In Fiscal Year of 2022, the EPA chose 483 water infrastructure projects through Community Project Funding, totalling $841 million in EPA Community Grants under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022. The grant will be invested into new sanitary septic and sewerage systems for 35 households (80 individuals) in McDowell County, West Virginia. Additional 17,000 McDowell County residents will benefit from new septic systems that will be administered to eliminate raw sewage from streamlining into the country's waterways. Congresswoman Miller prioritizes securing community project funding for wastewater projects in West Virginia. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:08:25Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) and Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo (D-CO) introduced the Truth in Buffalo Labeling Act. This bipartisan legislation will give the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authority to ensure that products that use water buffalo are marketed as "water buffalo" so that consumers aren't misled to believe the product contains bison. Click here for bill text. “Owning a bison farm, I am aware of what it takes to raise bison and the many benefits that come with the production of bison products for West Virginia,” said Congresswoman Miller. "When a product is labeled as "buffalo," consumers usually think that product contains bison. This bill makes absolutely certain that only bison products are labeled as “buffalo” and that any water buffalo products have their own specific label. This will help consumers make better choices and bolster the American bison industry." “The American people deserve to know what they’re eating, and that means ensuring what’s on the label is an accurate description of what’s inside the package," said Congresswoman Caraveo. "The Truth in Buffalo Labeling Act will prevent imported water buffalo products from being deceptively labeled as buffalo, which many Americans associate with American bison. I’m glad to join Rep. Miller in this bipartisan effort to give consumers this clarity and peace of mind.” Background: This bill will prevent water buffalo products from being labeled as “buffalo,” which is a term often associated with the American bison. In 2018, the FDA admitted that there should be separate and specific labels for water buffalo and bison. Bison products are highly sought after for human and pet food products because of their great taste and nutritional benefits, along with the sustainable practices used in raising bison. This bill is supported by the National Bison Association and the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:08:25Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) spoke at a Ways and Means Committee markup on the Telehealth Expansion Act of 2023 and the importance of access to telehealth for patients in rural America. Click here for video. On access to telehealth in rural America: "If COVID-19 taught us anything, it is how critical telehealth is for patients in rural America for them to receive care. Especially for patients like in my hometown and my state of West Virginia, where it can take at least 5 hours to get to a hospital. Because of our mountainous terrain, it became not a silver lining, but a glaring need in our health care. A recent study showed that 91% of patients nationwide reported that telehealth made it easier to get the care that they needed. We must ensure that this important flexibility is readily available to patients in the future, regardless of whether there’s a pandemic or not. That’s why I am a co-sponsor of this bill, the Telehealth Expansion Act, which will make it easier for patients and employees to access telehealth when using a high-deductible health plan. I applaud Representatives Michelle Steel (R-CA), Susie Lee (D-NV), Adrian Smith (R-NE), and Brad Schneider (D-IL) for introducing this commonsense legislation, and I look forward to seeing it reported favorably out of committee today."

This bipartisan bill will provide industries 60 days’ notice before imposing tariffs on products and goods. Click here for bill text. “It is imperative American importers are taken care of as they stimulate the U.S. economy. Suppliers should not be unfairly hit by tariffs for goods that have been already purchased,” said Congresswoman Miller. “The FAIR TARIFF Act equips our importers for success, ensures USTR gives U.S. companies ample warning when implementing tariffs, and corrects the tariffs that have put unnecessary costs on U.S. businesses that get passed down to consumers.” "When tariffs are enacted, we should not punish American businesses who already have supply or consumer orders en route — a problem I have heard about directly from Ohio businesses,” said Congressman Wenstrup. “I am proud to reintroduce the FAIR TARIFF Act to ensure that American companies are not surprised with high fees and penalized on goods already in transit.” "Alabama workers and consumers deserve trade laws that are balanced and fair," said Congresswoman Sewell. "The bipartisan Fair Tariff Act is a common sense bill that modernizes our trade laws to ensure that tariffs are not placed on goods already in transit. As a proud member of the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Trade, I will continue to advocate for legislation that creates a fairer and more equitable trading system." "When tariffs are imposed on goods in transit, American importers are hurt,” said Congressman Thompson. "The Fair Tariff Act will ensure that any penalties are enforced on foreign exporters, rather than American importers. I am proud to introduce this bipartisan bill with Reps.

Miller Op-Ed: Why Is the EPA Making It Harder for Family Farms to Succeed | 2023-06-05 | 2023 | 2023-06 | Republican | House | WV | Carol D. Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) wrote an op-ed highlighting the difficult regulations imposed on American farmers by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Lootpress titled, "Why is the EPA Making It Harder for Family Farms to Succeed?" Op-Ed: Why is the EPA Making It Harder for Family Farms to Succeed? The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has taken on the role of enforcing unnecessary and harmful regulations on America’s agriculture and energy industries. Before the EPA implements new rules, regulators should be required to visit the parts of the country that stand to get destroyed by higher costs. It’s important for the EPA to understand the unintended consequences of their actions. The EPA officials who want to make air quality rules tighter should visit my district in rural West Virginia where we produce the goods our country relies on. While those fields are a primary source of livelyhood for my constituents, they are a primary target for the EPA. The EPA’s proposal’s to raise the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) targets a pollutant called PM2.5. This will have a major impact on my district. PM2.5 is a type of dust that gets kicked up when you till a field or drive down an unpaved road, which happens every single day in rural areas and agricultural regions. West Virginia is well known for our wild and wonderful mountains, but a fair amount of agriculture takes place here. Ninety-five percent of West Virginia farms are family-owned – the highest percentage in the country. My family owns a bison farm, and we know many family farmers who grow apples, corn, and many other crops who struggle with overbearing and unproductive EPA regulations and government overreach. It's not easy being a farmer in the United States with China waiting to snatch up any American farmland they can. We’ve seen examples across the country of the Chinese Communist Party buying farmland in order to have a sizable presence in American agriculture. Now, even the EPA is working against far… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:08:25Z |
