Moore | M001235 | rileymoore.house.gov | rileymoore | https://rileymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Congressman Riley M. Moore today praised the release of Sunday Jackson, a Nigerian farmer who was sentenced to death after killing a Fulani Islamic radical in self-defense following an attack on his home, following a pardon issued by Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri. For months, Congressman Riley M. Moore has publicly called for Jackson’s release, raising the case for his release duringCongressional hearings, in media interviews, and in private meetings with senior Nigerian officials including meetings in Washington D.C. and during his Congressional Delegation visit to Nigeria. Sunday Jackson’s release is a positive development in the relationship between the Nigerian government and the United States which demonstrates a willingness by President Bola Tinubu and his government to work in coordination and cooperation with the United States to address the persecution of Christians. Congressman Riley M. Moore released the following statement: “Sunday Jackson is free! After more than a decade in prison serving a death sentence for defending himself, Sunday Jackson has been pardoned. Sunday is a Christian farmer who, like countless of other Christians in Nigeria, was brutally attacked by an Islamic radical. Sunday fought back in self-defense, killing his attacker. I have been advocating for Sunday’s release both in public and in private meetings, including during my recent Congressional Delegation visit to Nigeria. There is much more to do, but I continue to see positive steps that my concerns and the concerns of President Trump are being taken seriously by the Nigerian government. I want to thank President Tinubu for his administration’s willingness to engage in continued constructive discussions with the U.S. Government on establishing a strategic security framework between our two countries to tackle the multifaceted security challenges facing Nigeria. The Nigerian government at the Federal and State level must ensure Sunday’s safety during and following his release. Our Lord came… | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, Representatives Carol Miller (R-WV) and Terri Sewell (D-AL) reintroduced the Rural Hospital Flexibility Act. This bipartisan legislation strengthens the Medicare Rural Hospital Flexibility Program so Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) have the resources they need to improve quality, modernize services, and adapt to new care models. "Rural hospitals are the backbone of health care in communities like mine, but too many are struggling to keep their doors open. It is critical to families in rural West Virginia and across the country to provide CAHs with the adequate funding needed so folks can access care close to home. Strengthening healthcare in rural hospitals helps these facilities meet patients’ needs, track outcomes, and deliver vital behavioral health and substance use services. The Rural Hospital Flexibility Act of 2025 reauthorizes the FLEX program to ensure rural communities are supported with policies that reflect their unique healthcare needs," said Congresswoman Miller. “At a time when Alabama’s rural hospitals are facing enormous financial challenges, we must do all we can to ensure that patients in rural communities can access the lifesaving services they need. Reauthorizing the Rural Hospital Flexibility Program will help Critical Access Hospitals in Alabama keep their doors open and improve the quality of care they deliver to patients. I thank Congresswoman Miller for her partnership and urge my colleagues to join us in supporting this legislation," said Congresswoman Sewell. “The reauthorization of the FLEX-SHIP program is critical to sustaining rural healthcare in West Virginia. These grants give our Critical Access Hospitals access to essential education and technical support that directly drives our Top-10 national Medicare Beneficiary Quality performance. Most rural hospitals simply could not access this level of training on their own, and these programs ensure every CAH, especially those in West Virginia, have the tools to strengthen operations and improve care for t… | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Miller (R-WV) spoke in support of her House Resolution 923 to honor U.S. Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and U.S. Air Force Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe of the West Virginia National Guard. The resolution passed the House of Representatives with the Senate's companion legislation, S. Res. 537, passing by unanimous consent last week. A video and full transcript of Congresswoman Miller's remarks can be found below. “Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe embody the very best of our nation’s service members. As members of the West Virginia National Guard, they chose to serve their country with courage and a clear understanding of the risks that come with wearing the uniform. On November 26th, they were targeted and shot in a cowardly attack in the streets of Washington, D.C. Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, just 20 years old, later succumbed to her injuries on Thanksgiving Day. Known for her kind spirit and love of country, Sarah’s passing is deeply felt across West Virginia and throughout our nation. Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe continues to recover from his injuries and has made remarkable progress. Thanks to exceptional medical care, the unwavering support of his loved ones, and his own determination, he has been discharged from the hospital. We are grateful for this answered prayer and are continuing to pray for him to make a full recovery. This resolution ensures that Congress formally honors their courage, sacrifice, and selfless service, and affirms that our nation will never forget those who put their lives on the line in defense of others,” said Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV). “Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe represent the very best of our state. Specialist Beckstrom’s tragic passing is a heartbreaking reminder of the immense sacrifices our service members make to protect our country and our communities.

I want to thank Chairman Smith for advancing the re-authorization of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). This is critical legislation. AGOA is key to lifting the world’s most dire populations out of poverty while combatting China’s growing influence in Africa. [African] nations are great partners for sourcing products that may be best produced in friendly countries, such as apparel and travel goods, which in turn supports American consumers and jobs by ensuring the lowest prices across the supply chain. However, China is actively spreading their influence across the continent. We run the risk of losing ground to them if we don’t actively engage and build stronger partnerships with friendly African nations. The Ways and Means Committee has held robust conversations on AGOA and have identified ways the program can be strengthened including providing incentives for nations to graduate from the program and also clarifying rules of origin. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |

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 RCORP Authorization Act, a bipartisan bill that amends the Public Health Service Act and ensures the continued operation of the Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP). This legislation secures and strengthens vital prevention, treatment, and recovery services for individuals struggling with opioid use disorder in rural communities. This bill will also help local providers expand medical care and better respond to emerging public health challenges. “Supporting communities battling addiction remains one of my highest priorities. Representing a rural district, I know how critical it is for families to have reliable access to quality health care and recovery services. RCORP delivers essential funding to rural areas that lack the resources needed to address substance use disorders, and formally authorizing this program provides stability for the providers doing this lifesaving work. I’m grateful to my colleagues for joining me in this bipartisan effort to strengthen prevention and recovery services in some of the most underserved parts of our nation," said Congresswoman Miller. “For the millions of Americans battling substance use disorder, having access to proven, affordable treatment can mean the difference between life and death. The RCORP program is critical in bringing those lifesaving services to our rural communities, including those in our own Capital Region. I’m proud to join my colleagues to introduce this legislation that ensures those living with the disease of addiction have access to the health care treatment and resources they need to find and follow the path to recovery," said Rep. Tonko (D-NY) "Opioid addiction doesn’t discriminate by age, income, or political party, and it's going to take all of us working together to end to this national crisis.

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | December 4, 2025 Washington, D.C. – This afternoon, Congresswoman Miller and her colleagues introduced the Rural Residency Planning and Development Act. The bill authorizes the Rural Residency Planning and Development Program , which provides federal grants to support start-up costs to establish new rural residency programs. "The Rural Residency Planning and Development Program is vital to addressing physician shortages in rural communities. It is our job in Congress to invest in the next generation of rural health care workers and provide these hardworking men and women the proper resources and program stability they need to learn and continue to practice in rural communities," said Rep. Miller (R-WV). “Rural hospitals across the country, including in Nebraska’s Third District, struggle to recruit and retain enough providers to fully meet the needs of their communities. Part of this problem comes down to lack of exposure: only two percent of residency training occurs in rural areas. We know training new physicians in rural areas builds connections to rural communities and encourages them to seriously consider jobs in similar areas. Extending the RRPD’s authorization will help more rural hospitals establish new residency programs and bolster the workforce pipeline to our rural communities,” said Rep. Smith (R-NE). "I’m proud to lead this bipartisan effort to strengthen the pipeline of physicians who live and practice in rural America. This bill makes a simple but powerful commitment: if we want more doctors in our rural communities, we must train them in our rural communities. HRSA’s RRPD program has already delivered real results, including in Louisiana, by helping towns build new residency programs from the ground up. By authorizing and sustaining this program, we’re giving rural hospitals, clinics, and training partners the tools they need to recruit and prepare the next generation of family physicians, internists, OB-GYNs, psychiatrists, surgeons, and more.

Specialist Beckstrom succumbed to her injuries on Thanksgiving Day, and while Staff Sergeant Wolfe is showing improvement, he remains in the hospital fighting for his life. Representatives Miller and Moore express their gratitude to Senators Capito (R-WV) and Justice (R-WV) for their work on the companion legislation in the Senate. “Serving our nation in the National Guard takes immense courage, and Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe embodied that courage to its fullest. They represent the very best of us and exemplify true dedication to their country. As a mother and grandmother, I grieve with Sarah’s family as her life was taken far too soon. I am also praying earnestly for Andrew, who continues to fight for his life with incredible strength. This resolution honors Sarah and Andrew and ensures that Congress stands with all their loved ones, as they face the unthinkable. We honor their selfless service and, as Americans, stand united against the evil that has struck our nation," said Congresswoman Miller. “As a father, my heart breaks for the family of Specialist Sarah Beckstrom. She volunteered to serve, and in the end gave the last full measure of devotion to her country. Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe, who comes from a proud West Virginian family dedicated to serving their community and country, continues to fight for his life in the hospital. My heart is with their families and loved ones. This resolution sends a clear message that the American people stand with the Beckstrom family, Andrew Wolfe, and the whole West Virginia National Guard community.

Moore and Zinke Praise the Trump Administration’s Decision to Make Our National Parks Beautiful Again | 2025-11-26 | 2025 | 2025-11 | Republican | House | WV | Riley M. Moore | M001235 | rileymoore.house.gov | rileymoore | https://rileymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. - Today, Congressman Riley M. Moore (WV-02) and Congressman Ryan Zinke (MT-01) applauded the Trump Administration’s decision to secure the future of America’s national parks through a new fee structure that ensures international visitors are paying their fair share to keep our national heritage beautiful. The recent policy, issued by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, establishes an Annual Pass that will cost $80 for U.S. residents and $250 for nonresidents and will apply an additional $100 surcharge per foreign visitor to enter 11 of the most visited national parks while keeping the entrance fee for Americans the same. The National Parks system faces a $23 billion deferred maintenance backlog. This America-First policy will ensure our children and grandchildren can enjoy our great natural heritage for years to come, beautify our National Parks, and secure funding to address our critical maintenance backlog. Congressman Moore and Congressman Zinke issued the following joint statement: “President Trump and Secretary Burgum are putting Americans first by asking foreign visitors to pay their fair share while holding entrance fees steady for the American people. This policy ensures that our beautiful national heritage is preserved and the critical maintenance backlog is addressed so that America’s national parks will remain affordable, well-maintained, and financially sustainable for generations to come. We owe it to future generations of Americans - our children and grandchildren - to ensure our beautiful natural heritage that God created is well preserved. Now, Congress must act to codify this America-First fee structure by passing our bill, The PATRIOT Parks Act. Our legislation is essential to guaranteeing that these reforms remain in place for generations to come, and that Americans are put First in our own parks.” In July, Congressman Riley M. Moore (WV-02) and Congressman Ryan Zinke (MT-01) introduced the PATRIOT Parks Act in the House- which codifies President Trump’s Executive Order “Makin… | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |

This bipartisan bill will strengthen Medicare’s kidney care benefits by ensuring sustainable reimbursement for dialysis providers, expanding access to patient education resources, and supporting a long-term payment pathway for new therapies and emerging technologies. "Nearly 4,000 West Virginians are living with kidney failure and rely on dialysis treatments or a kidney transplant to survive. As co-chair of the Congressional Kidney Caucus, I’m proud to introduce the Kidney Care Access Protection Act – a commonsense solution that will bolster access to cutting-edge treatment options while helping kidney care providers weather inflationary pressures,” said Rep. Miller. “I am proud to champion the Kidney Care Access Protection Act. For Americans living with the kidney disease, this legislation would provide access to quality healthcare. This legislation makes critical improvements that ensures patients living with kidney failure can receive life-sustaining care,” said Representative Sewell. "We thank Congresswomen Miller and Sewell for introducing the Kidney Care Access Protection Act – a bipartisan solution that helps address the structural payment issues that have limited patients’ access to care and innovations for years,” said Hrant Jamgochian, CEO of Dialysis Patient Citizens. “KCP is proud to support this bipartisan legislative effort to protect and expand care choices for individuals living with kidney disease and kidney failure,” said LaVarne A. Burton, Chair-Elect of Kidney Care Partners and President & CEO of the American Kidney Fund (AKF).

Moore met with a delegation of senior members of the Nigerian government, led by Mr. Nuhu Ribadu, National Security Adviser to the President of Nigeria, during the delegation’s visit to Washington, D.C. The meeting allowed for a frank, honest, and productive discussion about the ongoing persecution of Christians and ongoing terrorist threats in Nigeria and opportunities for strengthened cooperation and coordination between the United States and Nigeria to end the bloodshed. During the meeting, Nigerian officials shared their government’s challenges and concerns regarding counterterrorism, security assistance, protection of vulnerable communities, and ongoing issues involving violence across Nigeria. Congressman Moore clearly stated that the United States stands ready to coordinate and cooperate with Nigeria, and that, as President Trump made abundantly clear, the United States will not tolerate continued violence against Christians or other forms of religious persecution. President Trump does not make idle threats. Congressman Moore will continue monitoring new developments and pushing the Nigerian government to accept the open hand of cooperation to stop the ongoing persecution and violence against Christians and combat the threat terrorist groups pose to the Nigerian population. Congressman Moore issued the following statement: “Today, I had a frank, honest, and productive discussion with senior members of the Nigerian government regarding the horrific violence and persecution Christians face and the ongoing threat terrorism poses across Nigeria. I made it crystal clear that the United States must see tangible steps to ensure that Christians are not subject to violence, persecution, displacement, and death simply for believing in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Congressman Moore issued the following statement: “Today, House Republicans took an important step to provide the American people the radical transparency they deserve regarding Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s horrific crimes. I voted to release the files today. This bill continues the Trump Administration's efforts to provide as much information to the public as possible. The Justice Department has already turned over more than 62,000 documents to the House Oversight Committee, and this bill requires the Justice Department to release all remaining documents to the public. Specifically, the bill requires production and release of all documents from Epstein-related investigations and prosecutions, flight logs and travel records, records of all government officials who are referenced in connection with Jeffrey Epstein, entities with ties to Jeffrey Epstein, and all related communications. Republicans promised radical transparency, and today we took a concrete step to provide that transparency that the American people deserve.” Congressman Moore stressed that releasing these files is essential to restoring public trust and delivering justice for victims that have suffered for far too long. ### | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |

Moore | M001235 | rileymoore.house.gov | rileymoore | https://rileymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Congressman Riley M. Moore introduced new legislation authorizing a land transfer between U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the National Park Service (NPS), enabling a long-awaited expansion of the CBP Advanced Training Center (ATC) in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. The bill transfers 25 acres of currently unusable NPS land to CBP in exchange for 72 acres of CBP land, clearing the final barrier to expanding the ATC’s critical training infrastructure. For years, both the Biden and Trump administrations have supported expanding the Harpers Ferry Advanced Training Center, but existing land boundaries prevented such progress. The new influx of federal agents has made the need even more urgent. The Advanced Training Center in Harpers Ferry is the only facility in the country dedicated to training CBP’s elite management-level agents. The newly authorized expansion will accommodate increased personnel, enhance operational readiness and training requirements, and support the Trump Administration’s expanded border security mandates. Congressman Riley M. Moore issued the following statement: “With more than 18,000 new Border Patrol agents authorized under the One Big Beautiful Bill, this expansion to the Advanced Training Center in Harpers Ferry is essential. Every new management-level Border Patrol agent will be trained right here in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, and our facility must be prepared to meet that mission. This bill gives CBP the resources it needs to train the next generation of border security leadership. This land swap solution strengthens our border, bolsters national security, and brings additional opportunity to West Virginia. Harpers Ferry plays a vital role in preparing the brave men and women who safeguard our nation every day. I am proud to introduce legislation that finally allows this important expansion to move forward.” Joining Congressman Riley M. Moore on this legislation are the following members of Congress: Representatives Carol D. Miller (WV-01)… | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |

Upon signage by President Donald Trump, the continuing resolution will reopen the government immediately by extending funding through January 30th. The resolution will also provide back pay to all federal workers. Congresswoman Miller released the following statement following the bill's passage: "I was happy to join my House colleagues in ending the Democrats' hostage takeover of the federal government leading to the longest shutdown in our nation's history. For 43 days, our service members have gone without pay, thousands of federal workers were furloughed, and essential programs, such as SNAP, were left unfunded. The American people deserve a government that works for them. Instead, Democrats used our citizens' safety and security as a bargaining chip for their $1.5 trillion demands. This is disgraceful. House Republicans acted responsibly by passing the original Continuing Resolution in September and continue to put Americans first by passing this new funding bill today," said Rep. Carol Miller. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:52:45Z |

Moore | M001235 | rileymoore.house.gov | rileymoore | https://rileymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Congressman Riley M. Moore released the following statement after the House voted to end the 43-day Schumer Shutdown. The House passed the Senate Amendment to H.R. 5371 - Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act 2026 that extends funding for most agencies until January 30th, 2026. The measure also includes three full-year funding bills, the Legislative Branch, Agriculture and Rural Development, and the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations bills. The legislation also includes key national security provisions written by Congressman Moore, including language prohibiting the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Legislative Branch from purchasing compromised technology tied to the Chinese Communist Party. Congressman Riley M. Moore issued the following statement: “The Schumer Shutdown is finally over after the Democrats held the American people hostage for 43 days. Republicans held the line and did not cave to the Democrats’ insane $1.5 Trillion wishlist, including giving healthcare benefits to illegal immigrants. We can now get back to work enacting the America First agenda. I’m also grateful to Chairman Cole for including my language to protect our national security by preventing the VA and Legislative Branch from purchasing harmful technology tied to the Chinese Communist Party.” Major Investments Secured for West Virginia: The legislation not only reopens the federal government, restoring pay for workers and providing stability for families, but also includes major local investments in West Virginia, championed by Congressman Riley M. Moore: $712,500 for a new Preston County Senior Center. The center has vastly outgrown its current facility, and the new location will expand access to vital services for thousands of seniors—including in-home care, meal delivery, and transportation to medical appointments. This investment will strengthen community care and improve quality of life for senior West Virginians. $1,668,750 for the construction of a new Barbour County A… | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |

Moore | M001235 | rileymoore.house.gov | rileymoore | https://rileymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Congressman Riley M. Moore introduced a resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives condemning the ongoing persecution of Christians in Nigeria and supporting President Donald J. Trump’s announcement to officially designate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern. This bold decision is a clear message to the world that the United States will never turn a blind eye to our brothers and sisters in Christ who are being martyred for their faith. This resolution draws attention to the horrific persecution Christians face across Nigeria. 50,000-100,000 Christians have been murdered since 2009. At least 7,000 Christians have been killed this year alone - an average of 35 deaths each day. 19,000 churches have been destroyed. Data from Open Doors indicate that more Christians are killed every year in Nigeria than the rest of the world combined. This resolution supports President Trump as he seeks to utilize every tool at the United States’ disposal - diplomatic, economic, humanitarian, and security - to defend Christians in the region. The measure also reaffirms America’s commitment to defending the right of Christians to worship freely without fear of violence, persecution, or death. Earlier this month, Congressman Moore sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio urging the Trump Administration to take “immediate action to address the systematic persecution and slaughter of Christians in Nigeria,” highlighting the nation’s growing reputation as “the deadliest place in the world to be a Christian.” President Trump previously designated Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern in 2020, but President Biden removed the designation in 2021. Congressman Riley M. Moore issued the following statement: “This resolution condemns the horrific persecution of Christians in Nigeria. For far too long, the world has turned a blind eye to the suffering of innocent Christians—entire villages destroyed, churches burned, pastors tortured, families torn apart. This grave suffering must end now. I’m call… | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |

"It is essential we strengthen America’s trade relationships with Central Asian countries to ensure that all of our nations can thrive economically. The Jackson-Vanik Amendment is a relic of the Cold War that hinders our growing partnerships in the region. Granting Central Asian allies Permanent Normal Trade Relations reaffirms our commitment to building lasting economic agreements grounded in shared prosperity and a collective vision for a more stable and interconnected global economy. I look forward to continuing these conversations with President Trump and my colleagues in Congress," said Rep. Miller. "The Jackson-Vanik Amendment is an antiquated law that no longer applies to many countries, like Kazakhstan, that could be key to America's economic and strategic interests in Central Asia. By rolling back this outdated policy, we could modernize our trade practices, promote greater economic cooperation, increase investment opportunities, and strengthen our relationships in the region. It’s long past time we got rid of Jackson-Vanik and brought U.S. trade partnerships in Central Asia into the 21st century,"said Rep. Panetta. “What was once a useful tool to coerce the Soviet Union into improving its treatment of Soviet Jews and minority groups, today the Jackson-Vanik amendment is an outdated policy that is holding back our partnerships with important countries in Central Asia. This bipartisan legislation is an opportunity to redefine our relationship with the region and advance America’s economic and national security interests," said Sen. Murphy. “Central Asia is rich in natural resources and is a strategically critical region for the U.S. Unfort… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:52:45Z |

Moore applauds President Donald Trump’s decision to redesignate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) due to the alarming and ongoing persecution of Christians across the country. President Trump also asked Congressman Moore, alongside House Committee on Appropriations Chairman Tom Cole, to lead an investigation into the slaughtering of Christians in Nigeria. Earlier this month, Congressman Moore sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio urging the Trump Administration to take “immediate action to address the systematic persecution and slaughter of Christians in Nigeria,” highlighting the nation’s growing reputation as “the deadliest place in the world to be a Christian.” More than 7,000 Christians have been killed in Nigeria in 2025 alone—an average of 35 per day—with hundreds more kidnapped, tortured, or displaced by extremist groups such as Boko Haram, ISIS West Africa, and the Fulani militants. Reports indicate that between 50,000 and 100,000 Christians have been killed and more than 19,000 Christian churches have been attacked or destroyed since 2009. Data from Open Doors indicate that more Christians are killed every year in Nigeria than the rest of the world combined. President Trump previously designated Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern in 2020, but President Biden removed the designation in 2021. Congressman Moore issued the following statement: “I want to sincerely thank President Trump for his incredible leadership and decisive action to designate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern. Nigeria has become ground zero for Christian martyrdom and I am proud to have been leading the effort in Congress to defend our brothers and sisters in Christ who are being slaughtered since I was first sworn into Congress.

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) penned the below op-ed discussing the ongoing federal government shutdown and the effect it is having on West Virginians. "All too often in Washington, politicians make decisions without understanding the real-world consequences for everyday Americans. We are witnessing that in real time with the ongoing government shutdown led by Senator Schumer and the Democrats, who have once again chosen to put political agendas ahead of the livelihoods of their constituents. Instead of working to fund essential programs that keep our government agencies running, they have prioritized policies that benefit illegal immigrants over hardworking Americans. Meanwhile, men and women across the nation, especially in rural West Virginia, are bearing the cost. With government operations stalled, families are losing access to vital services, paychecks are being delayed, and small businesses and farms are struggling to make ends meet as support programs remain frozen. Mountaineers, in particular, will bear the burden of the left’s misplaced priorities, facing delays or even denials in flood insurance and disaster assistance. After the severe flooding that struck West Virginia earlier this year, it’s deeply concerning that so many families and farmers are now left without the coverage and support they need to protect their homes and livelihoods. This failure will directly harm family-owned farms and rural landowners who depend on these programs to recover and rebuild when disaster strikes. The current, clean Continuing Resolution (CR) passed by the House prioritizes the needs of our farmers and ensures that resources stay where they belong, which is supporting hardworking Americans, not illegal immigrants. While House Republicans have done our job, Democrats in the Senate would rather play political games and punish American workers than pass the same type of measure they supported more than a dozen times under the Biden Administration.

In his letter, Congressman Moore urged President Trump’s administration to take “immediate action to address the systematic persecution and slaughter of Christians in Nigeria,” highlighting the nation’s growing reputation as “the deadliest place in the world to be a Christian.” Congressman Moore’s letter detailed that over 7,000 Christians have been killed in Nigeria in 2025 alone—an average of 35 per day—with hundreds more kidnapped, tortured, or displaced by extremist groups such as Boko Haram. The Congressman also pointed to reports indicating that 19,100 Christian churches have been attacked or destroyed since 2009 and that elements of the Nigerian government may be complicit in the violence. Reports from Open Doors indicate that more Christians are killed every year in Nigeria than the rest of the world combined. The Congressman noted that President Trump previously designated Nigeria as a CPC, a designation reversed under President Biden, and called on Secretary Rubio to restore the designation and suspend all U.S. arms sales and technical support to Nigeria until the government takes swift action to protect the persecuted. Congressman Moore issued the following statement: “Nigeria has become the deadliest place in the world to be a Christian. Just this year, a priest was kidnapped and murdered on Ash Wednesday and 54 Christians were martyred on Palm Sunday. 7,000 Christians have been martyred this year alone. More than 50,000 Christians have been murdered since 2009. The United States cannot stand idly by while believers are slaughtered.

Moore | M001235 | rileymoore.house.gov | rileymoore | https://rileymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Congressman Riley Moore today issued a strong condemnation of the violent takeover of and reported targeting of Christians in Kirawa, a border town in northeastern Nigeria, by Boko Haram militants. The assault — which reportedly involved the burning of homes, military barracks, and the district leader’s palace — has forced more than 5,000 civilians to flee into neighboring Cameroon, including many Christians. According to reports, Christians’ homes were targeted for destruction. This is part of a wider pattern of extremist violence targeting Christians and Christian communities in the region. Congressman Moore introduced H.Res. 594, condemning the persecution of Christians in Muslim-majority nations. Congressman Moore issued the following statement: “The world cannot stand idly by while violent Islamic extremists rampage through communities, violently targeting Christians, displacing thousands, and committing horrendous atrocities. Boko Haram’s seizure of Kirawa is not an isolated incident — it is the latest in a long campaign of terror, much of which is explicitly aimed at persecuting Christians in the region. These acts of barbarism demand immediate international condemnation and swift action. I urge President Trump to use every tool at his disposal to defend Christians from this scourge of Islamic persecution and terror.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | October 1, 2025 Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) released the following statement in light of the federal government shutdown, effective October 1, 2025. On September 19, Congresswoman Miller voted in favor of the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, which would have continued Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations through November 21, 2025. The bill passed in the House of Representatives 217-212, but failed in the Senate. “Democrats are holding our government hostage unless their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands are met. Their shutdown will leave our service members unpaid, put vital healthcare and housing programs for Veterans at risk, and jeopardize flood insurance for millions of Americans during Hurricane season. Meanwhile, House Republicans have passed a clean, simple budget extension to ensure stability for our seniors, veterans, and troops across the country. I urge my Democrat colleagues in the Senate to abandon their ‘obstruction at all costs’ politics and pass this continuing resolution so our federal services can continue operating without interruption," said Congresswoman Carol Miller. Background On September 19, 2025, Congresswoman Carol Miller voted in favor of H.R. 5371 - Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, which provides continuing FY2026 appropriations to federal agencies through November 21, 2025, preventing a government shutdown that would otherwise occur if the FY2026 appropriations bills have not been enacted when FY2026 begins on October 1, 2025. The bill funds most programs and activities at the FY2025 levels with several exceptions that provide funding flexibility and additional appropriations for various programs. For example, the bill provides additional funding for security for Members of Congress, Supreme Court Justices, and executive branch officials. It also authorizes the District of Columbia to spend local funds at the rates included in its FY2026 local budget. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z |

This update comes less than one month after Congressman Moore announced he and his team had returned more than $3 million to West Virginians. The Congressman’s casework team is based in the Morgantown and Martinsburg district offices. The staff are well-trained in dealing with the federal bureaucracy and stand ready to assist constituents who are having issues with any federal agency.

Moore (WV-02) and U.S. Senator Jim Risch (R-ID) filed an Amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of the cases State of West Virginia v. B.P.J and Little v. Hecox. The brief supports both West Virginia and Idaho in their defense of state laws that ensure Title IX protections continue to keep men from playing and participating in women’s sports. “West Virginia passed a law making it clear that men shouldn’t play in women’s sports. This is just common sense – men and women are biologically different. Men cannot become women and they certainly shouldn’t be forced to compete together. We have a duty to protect our children and ensure that no more girls are injured by transgender athletes pretending to be women. I’m proud to lead this bicameral amicus brief with Sen Jim Risch (R-Idaho) in defense of protecting women’s sports at the Supreme Court,” Congressman Riley M. Moore (WV-02) said. “Life isn’t fair, but sports should be. Idaho passed a strong law to uphold Title IX’s intended purpose and prevent biological men from competing in women’s sports,” said Risch. “This amicus brief demonstrates that any attempt by the courts to rewrite Title IX protections throws away decades of progress made by women and jeopardizes their right to fair, equal athletics. Our daughters and granddaughters deserve an even playing field, and Idaho’s law does just that,” Senator Jim Risch (R-ID) said. “Women’s sports should remain just that – women’s sports,” Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) said. “West Virginia has a proud tradition of female athletes who deserve a level playing field, and I’m proud to stand with my colleagues in defending that principle—something I’ve long-championed. Allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports undermines the very fairness and protections Title IX was designed to provide. This amicus brief makes clear that protecting women’s sports is not only common sense, but also the law and I’m confident the Court will come to the same co… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:10:29Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – On Tuesday, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) participated in an Oversight Subcommittee hearing aimed at providing background on the role and purpose of non-profit hospitals, the federal benefits these institutions currently receive through the tax code, and an assessment of whether these non-profit hospitals are operating in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of their tax-exempt status. A video and transcript of the Congresswoman's questions and provided responses can be found below. Image Congresswoman Miller began by highlighting the growing problem of rural hospitals being taken advantage of by large, tax-exempt hospitals. "I appreciate the opportunity to discuss tax-exempt hospital statuses and what our hospitals are doing to fulfil their community benefit standard. As many of you know, I represent the wild and wonderful state of West Virginia, which has one of the largest rural populations in the country. Our rural hospitals go above and beyond to provide patients with the care they need. Many of these rural hospitals can provide such community services with savings from being tax-exempt entities. I think this is a fair trade-off for hospitals to make – but I have recently been alarmed at a growing trend of urban tax-exempt hospitals reclassifying as rural to receive additional benefits meant to help treat our most vulnerable rural patients. These rural hospitals have been shown to provide a higher share of health services as a percentage of community benefit than other types of hospitals, including nonprofit community hospitals, children’s hospitals, and teaching hospitals. According to your recent study about the rise in urban hospitals with rural status in Medicare, there has been a sharp increase of geographically urban hospitals dually classifying as both rural and urban to access benefits intended for hospitals serving our rural populations. In fact, the fair share deficit at non-profit hospitals was estimated to be $11.5 billion per year from 2020 to 2022, s… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:10:29Z |

Click HERE for the full letter. On the lawmakers’ concern regarding the need to preserve and increase access to ambulance services: The need to preserve and increase access to ambulance services is clear when considering 4.5 million Americans that live in ambulance deserts – areas located 25 minutes or more away from an ambulance station. Unsurprisingly, 2.3 million of those individuals live in rural counties and 84 percent of rural counties have at least one ambulance desert. Despite the best efforts of rural ambulance providers, rural patients in ambulance deserts often experience care delays that can devastate a person’s health and can lead to death. For example, in the event of a stroke, a patient loses 1.9 million neurons each minute during which a stroke is untreated. Meanwhile, nearly 600 patients per 100,000 in rural America suffer from strokes – a rate nearly 20 percent higher than that of urban America. Limited availability of ambulance services in ambulance deserts results in care delays for all patients, and actively endangers the life of stroke patients or others suffering from significant emergencies.

Carol Miller (R-WV), Suzan DelBene (D-WA), Claudia Tenney (R-NY), and Don Beyer (D-VA) introduced the Fusion Advanced Manufacturing Parity Act. This bipartisan legislation would extend the Advanced Manufacturing Tax Credit (45X) to include fusion energy components, allowing the United States to accelerate domestic fusion energy manufacturing, create high-paying jobs, and strengthen our energy and national security. “As the fusion energy industry grows, the United States must ensure we are on the forefront of not just innovation but also manufacturing. Time and time again, we have seen American innovation become dominated by a Chinese supply chain – and fusion technology is currently running that risk. The Fusion Advanced Manufacturing Parity Act ensures fusion energy component manufacturers have support here in the United States to cement our foothold in this emerging, multi-trillion-dollar industry. We must act fast to ensure this critical supply chain takes root in the United States, allowing us to lead the world in commercial fusion,” said Rep. Carol Miller. “Harnessing the power of fusion energy is imperative to meet our increasing energy demands. The United States cannot let other countries lead the development of this technology. The Fusion Advanced Manufacturing Parity Act will make sure the right incentives are in place to accelerate domestic manufacturing and strengthen our economy,” said Rep. DelBene. “Including fusion power technologies and their critical components in the Section 45X advanced manufacturing tax credit will secure U.S. leadership in the next generation of fusion power. American companies are on the cusp of commercial deployment while private capital has already invested more than $10 billion in U.S. ventures.

Armstead, who passed away on August 26, 2025, previously served in the West Virginia Legislature as the Speaker of the House of Delegates before being appointed and later elected to the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia. He retained his position on the Court until his passing weeks ago. A video and transcript of the Congresswoman's remarks can be found below. Image "Mister Speaker, I rise today to posthumously recognize West Virginia Supreme Court Justice Tim Armstead. Tim was born to James and Myrtle Armstead on February 26, 1965 and passed away on Tuesday, August 26th of this year. His life was one of dedicated service to our state of West Virginia. Beginning as an intern in the Governor’s office after graduating from the West Virginia College of Law, he rose to work as the Executive Assistant for the Governor’s Chief of Staff and served on the Governor’s Cabinet for Children and Families. Tim’s passion for public service eventually led him to be elected to the West Virginia House of Delegates in 1998. He would later serve as the Minority Leader and rise to become Speaker of the House of Delegates in 2015. He was appointed and later elected to the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia in 2018, and would retain his position until his passing weeks ago. Tim’s life was one guided by his Christian faith and marked with dedication to our state and its people, especially children suffering from neglect and abuse. He worked tirelessly to defend those children through his position on the Court of Appeals and also worked to retain and recruit attorneys to provide guardian ad litem services for those children’s cases. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:10:29Z |

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 U.S. Army's reversal of their previous decision to inactivate the Reserve Officer's Training Corps (ROTC) program at West Virginia State University (WVSU). On June 27, 2025, the U.S. Army Cadet Command announced a nation-wide strategic rebalancing and optimization of the Senior ROTC program that would inactivate the Army ROTC host unit at West Virginia State University. As a longtime advocate of ROTC programs, Congresswoman Miller communicated her concerns with U.S. Army officials and received word on August 28, 2025 that the initial decision was being reversed and the ROTC program at WVSU would be retained as an extension unit following feedback from community leaders and stakeholders. “ROTC programs play a key role in addressing the recruiting crisis our military is currently facing as well as providing incredible opportunities for scholarships and financial benefits for young people. I am grateful that the U.S. Army Cadet Command has reversed their decision and the ROTC program at WVSU will be retained as an extension unit. Anyone hoping to serve the United States of America should have easy access to do so, and the continuation of this program will allow many of our young mountaineers here in southern West Virginia to receive a first-class education and prepare for a career in the armed services," said Congresswoman Carol Miller. Background On June 27, 2025, the U.S. Army Cadet Command announced the implementation of a strategic rebalance and optimization of the Senior ROTC program which would inactivate the host unit at West Virginia State University. Last Congress, Congresswoman Miller sent a letter to U.S. Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall requesting the Air Force JROTC program at Cabell Midland High School in Ona, WV remain active after a similar decision was made to end the program. The program was continued following the Congresswoman's request. Congresswoman Miller previously worked closely with Con… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:10:29Z |

Moore | M001235 | rileymoore.house.gov | rileymoore | https://rileymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. — This week, Congressman Michael Cloud (TX-27), alongside Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ), partnered with Senator James Lankford (R-OK) and Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS) to lead a group of Republican lawmakers in supporting the Trump administration’s efforts to reverse a Biden-era rule that allowed taxpayer-funded abortion at VA facilities. Under the new leadership of Secretary Collins, the Department of Veterans Affairs is taking necessary steps to rescind the Biden-era rule and restore a legal and medically appropriate standard of care. The proposed rule seeks to align VA practices with existing federal statutes and ensure that resources are focused on providing high-quality, life-affirming care to veterans and their families. In the letter to Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Douglas Collins, the lawmakers wrote: “VA facilities should be empowered to provide the American veteran community with the best health care possible. The Biden rule conflated health care with abortion services, a practice that poses significant medical risks for pregnant women and directly intends to end the life of the second patient, the unborn child. Yet the Biden rule deemed that abortion was necessary to “protect the health” of the mother-patient with a broad and undefined health exception for pregnant women in TRICARE and CHAMPVA. With this broad health exception to operate under, the Biden rule was implemented with a series of VA training materials, including videos, documents, and presentation slides, that gave guidance to health providers on how to promote abortion as the safest option for pregnant veterans and their beneficiaries. Without a narrower definition or gestational limit for this health exception, the VA has been promoting abortion on demand, at any point during pregnancy, so long as the mother-patient is able to secure a medical professional’s opinion that having an abortion would be ‘beneficial’ to her health in any way.” The lawmakers submitted a formal comment backing the proposed chan… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:10:29Z |

Congressman Riley M. Moore proudly voted for this legislation that lays the groundwork for American energy dominance, reduces our reliance on foreign adversaries for critical minerals, prohibits the sale of crude oil from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China, strengthens our nation’s waterways infrastructure, and defunds all woke and weaponized Biden Administration policies. This is a great step toward codifying many of President Trump’s American energy dominance objectives. Additionally, the final legislation included an amendment Congressman Moore secured during the Appropriations Committee’s markup that restores critical funding to the Appalachian Regional Commission. Congressman Moore issued the following statement: “I proudly voted for the Energy and Water Appropriations bill, today. This important America First legislation included an amendment I was able to add during markup that restores critical funding for the Appalachian Regional Commission. West Virginians know that the Appalachian Regional Commission is an invaluable resource for our state that creates jobs, combats addiction, provides job training resources, and improves the Mountain State’s infrastructure. I will always fight for West Virginia and will always make sure that Appalachia’s voice is heard in Congress.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:10:29Z |

I voted for H. Res. 668 that formalizes the Oversight Committee's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s horrendous crimes and requires the Committee to release these documents to the public after ensuring victims' personally identifiable information is protected. Specifically, the resolution requires production and release of all documents from Epstein-related investigations and prosecutions, flight logs and travel records, records of all government officials who are referenced in connection with Epstein, entities with ties to Epstein, and all related communications. The Oversight Committee’s investigation has already produced 34,000 documents from the Department of Justice. The Committee has also issued subpoenas to the DOJ for all documents, the Epstein estate, and 11 deposition subpoenas for testimony to ensure that we are providing the transparency that the American people require." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T15:07:37Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Congresswoman Miller began by discussing the growing number of Medicare Advantage enrollees both nationally and in West Virginia's First Congressional District and the factors leading to increased enrollment. “I appreciate the opportunity to discuss the Medicare Advantage (MA) program with you all today, especially as the program has grown with my generation nationally and in my district. West Virginia’s population is aging, and over a quarter of my home state’s population receives their healthcare through Medicare. Of those patients, 54 percent of West Virginians choose to enroll in Medicare Advantage plans. Patients in my district have gravitated towards MA plans because of their affordability and supplemental benefits they provide. The time and effort it takes to travel to a doctor is a key factor for many patients when deciding what type of plan to enroll in, so MA plans have become increasingly popular among patients that need transportation benefits," said Congresswoman Miller. The Congresswoman then discussed concerns regarding reimbursements to healthcare providers and asked Dr. David Basel, Vice President of Health Clinical Quality and Population Health Officer at Avera Health, how Medicare Advantage providers can better address those concerns and what can be done to provide additional benefits to rural patients. "As MA coverage has increased in West Virginia, we have unfortunately also heard some concerns from patients and providers around prior authorization and payments.” "Across the country, rural hospitals and healthcare providers report experiencing lower reimbursements from MA plans. This has led some providers to leave MA networks which then creates coverage gaps in rural areas. Dr. Basel, some quick questions. What can be done to ensure Medicare Advantage plans work with rural providers to allow beneficiaries to get the coverage they need?" asked Congresswoman Miller.

This amendment directs the EPA to provide information on the resources it has available to assist states and counties with a high prevalence of violations of drinking water regulations, such as Wyoming and McDowell Counties in southern West Virginia. “Clean drinking water is a necessity, but tragically, some communities in West Virginia struggle to access this basic need. Our amendment that passed the House Appropriations Committee today will help us identify and deliver real solutions to this water crisis in the Southern Coalfields. No parent should ever have to wonder how they’re going to ensure their kids have water to drink or bathe in.

Moore | M001235 | rileymoore.house.gov | rileymoore | https://rileymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Riley M. Moore (WV-02) and Congressman Ryan Zinke (MT-01) introduced the PATRIOT Parks Act — which codifies President Trump’s Executive Order “Making America Beautiful Again by Improving Our National Parks.” Currently, the National Parks System faces more than $23 billion in deferred maintenance, including more than $200 million on parklands in West Virginia. This legislation implements increased entrance fees for foreign visitors at National Parks, with the additional funds being reinvested back into parks for maintenance and other basic operating costs. Senator Jim Banks of Indiana and Senator Tim Sheehy of Montana introduced companion legislation in the Senate. The bill is supported by the American Conservation Coalition Action (ACC Action) and the Property and Environment Research Center (PERC). Both organizations were instrumental in helping craft the President’s executive order. The Bull Moose Project and American Prairie are also supportive of the legislation. Congressman Moore issued the following statement: “From the New River Gorge in my home state to Shenandoah, the Great Smoky Mountains, the Everglades, and the Grand Canyon - God blessed our nation with a tremendous natural heritage. We owe it to future generations to ensure these natural marvels are protected. “Unfortunately, the National Park System currently faces a backlog of more than $23 billion in deferred maintenance, including more than $200 million on properties across the Mountain State. Our commonsense legislation keeps entry fees static for Americans while charging more for foreigners visiting our National Parks. This will allow us to finally start tackling this extensive maintenance backlog.” Here’s what others are saying: “National Parks are America’s best idea and maintaining that legacy for future generations means making smart investments in the management of the parks,” said Congressman Zinke. “Americans already pay for parks in our tax dollars as well as at the gates.

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – On Wednesday, Reps. Carol Miller (R-WV), Suzan DelBene (D-WA), Beth Van Duyne (R-TX), and Jim Costa (D-CA) introduced H.R. 4470, The Removing Burdens From Organ Donation Act. This bipartisan legislation modernizes and streamlines the organ donation process by requiring hospitals participating in Medicare and Medicaid to send automated electronic notifications to their designated Organ Procurement Organizations (OPO) when a patient dies or meets criteria for imminent death. It also requires remote electronic access to a patient’s health records to be granted to the OPO at that time—ensuring faster and more informed decision-making in critical moments. “Over 35 million Americans are living with Chronic Kidney Disease. In my home state of West Virginia, nearly 4,000 individuals are experiencing kidney failure and are reliant on frequent dialysis or a kidney transplant to survive. As Co-Chair of the Congressional Kidney Caucus, I have introduced and supported legislation that addresses the needs of these individuals and helps them receive life-saving medical care. The Removing Burdens from Organ Donation Act will bring much needed reform to the organ donation process by simplifying the existing procedures and saving valuable time when viable organs become available. By removing bureaucratic red tape, we can save more lives and secure more organ transplants for patients in need,” said Rep. Carol Miller. “Organ transplant lists grow every day and families are waiting longer for the call that can give their loved ones the gift of life. This bill would cut through unnecessary red tape that slows down the organ donation process. By streamlining and automating how hospitals notify Organ Procurement Organizations, we can save valuable time and more lives,” said Rep. Suzan DelBene. “Organ donation saves lives, but too often, outdated processes, and unnecessary red tape stands in the way.

The legislation provides $831.5 billion for annual military expenses, including operations and maintenance; personnel; procurement; and research, development, test, and evaluation. Congressman Moore issued the following statement: “This defense funding bill makes critical investments to rebuild our military and prioritizes lethality after years of distraction with extreme left-wing ideology. I was proud to vote ‘Yes.’ “The legislation ensures a 21st-century military by modernizing our nuclear triad, investing in hypersonics, propping up the Golden Dome, and developing the next generation of fighter aircraft. It also supports our troops by providing a 3.8% pay raise for all military personnel. “Our bill supports President Trump’s broader strategic vision of peace through strength.

Doing so will ensure every taxpayer dollar advances America’s strategic interests.” Congressman Moore leads the Republican Study Committee’s (RSC) Rescissions Task Force, which serves as the tip of the spear for codifying President Trump’s DOGE cuts.

Moore and Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri introduced a resolution condemning the persecution of Christians in Muslim-majority countries across the globe. In April, Congressman Moore gave a speech on the House Floor highlighting the rampant violence and martyrdom many Christians are facing simply for proclaiming their faith in Jesus Christ. The bill is endorsed by ADF International, Heritage Action for America, the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, In Defense of Christians, Global Christian Relief, CatholicVote, Advancing American Freedom, Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE), Family Policy Alliance, Christians Engaged, and Save the Persecuted Christians. Lawmakers joining on as original co-sponsors included: Greg Steube (FL-17); Michael Guest (MS-3); Glenn Grothman (WI-6); Addison McDowell (NC-6); Brandon Gill (TX-26); Pat Harrigan (NC-10); and Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13) . Congressman Moore issued the following statement: “Around the world, our brothers and sisters in Christ face rampant persecution for simply acknowledging the name of Jesus. That is unacceptable. “In Nigeria alone, more than 50,000 Christians have been martyred and more than 5 million have been displaced simply for professing their faith. During a Divine Liturgy in Damascus last month, an islamic jihadist opened fire on worshippers and detonated an explosive device — killing at least 30 and wounding dozens more. These examples illustrate the violence and death Christians face on a daily basis. “Unfortunately, decades of U.S. foreign policy blunders have exacerbated this crisis, with ethno-religious cleansing accelerating in Iraq after our failure to stabilize the country following the 2003 invasion. “We as lawmakers cannot continue to sit idly by. I urge my colleagues to join me in condemning the persecution of Christians across the globe.” Senator Hawley added: “Our country was founded on religious liberty.

This new law is a key tool in the fight to reduce overdoses and save lives,” said Congressman Moore. “I will continue to champion policies that push back on this deadly poison which has ravaged our communities. BACKGROUND: In recent years, chemically altered fentanyl has been pushed by the drug cartels as a way of getting around existing U.S.’ criminal statutes. The HALT Fentanyl Act closes this loophole. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T14:40:33Z |

It provides relief to gig workers by ending the Democrats' absurd $600 1099K reporting threshold and reverts back to the time-tested standard of $20,000 and 200 transactions.

Moore | M001235 | rileymoore.house.gov | rileymoore | https://rileymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, the House of Representatives passed the final amended version of H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Congressman Riley M. Moore voted “Yes” on the legislation. Congressman Moore issued the following statement: “In November, the American people gave President Trump a mandate for change after years of mass migration, inflation, and progressive insanity. They demanded secure borders, lower costs, and a return to commonsense. The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers on that America First agenda. I proudly voted ‘Yes’ on this historic legislation. “This bill provides the largest border security investment in America’s history - $175 billion to finish the wall, hire thousands of new ICE and Border Patrol agents, and conduct mass deportations – giving the President every tool he needs to restore our national sovereignty. We also provide the largest tax cut in American history – no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and 88% of seniors will pay no taxes on Social Security. “The bill also embraces fossil fuels to power our economy, reindustrialize the heartland, and beat China in the AI arms race. It fully defunds Planned Parenthood, invests in a 21st century military, increases and makes permanent the Child Tax Credit, permanently extends important business tax credits - including the Section 199A deduction - and cuts spending by more than $1.35 trillion. “President Trump’s signature legislation is a huge win for the American people that puts our nation on the path to a new Golden Age.

A video and transcript of the Congresswoman's questions and provided responses can be found below. Image Congresswoman Miller began by discussing the challenges rural patients face accessing medical care. “The majority of my work in the health care space is focused on ensuring robust patient access to care, particularly for rural patients. In my district, many patients have to travel hours to see a physician or specialist. Additionally, 70 percent of people in West Virginia have at least one chronic disease. This leaves the vast majority of patients in my state with some tough decisions about how to manage their health care. Many patients often don’t seek care as much as they might need because of costs, lack of transportation, or an inability to take a day off of work to see a doctor. Wearable devices seem to be a very good solution to some of these problems. If a patient can have a device tracking their vitals, glucose levels, or heart rate on their wrist or finger – they can have some peace of mind about their health. They also will have a better picture of when it might be time to get themselves to the doctor," said Congresswoman Miller. The Congresswoman then asked Dr. Holmes, Global Head of Human Performance at WHOOP, how wearable medical devices can help patients track their vitals and anticipate health conditions that would require medical intervention. “Dr. Holmes, I'm sure you've worked with many patients to help them get the most out of your company's technology. What are some of the benefits rural patients can see with wearable health devices and are the patients able to see and share that data from your device with their physician?” asked Congresswoman Carol Miller. “Yes, we have mechanisms inside the app that allow for really easy sh… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T01:08:28Z |

Congressman Moore issued the following statement: “My heart breaks for our neighbors who are left picking up the pieces after last weekend’s unprecedented floods. I’ve never seen anything like the devastation I saw in Triadelphia and Fairmont. “Even during these trying times, West Virginians are pulling together to rebuild our communities.

This bipartisan legislation introduced by Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) and Congressman Brad Schneider (D-IL) will allow utilities to deduct repair costs from the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax and will ensure that these companies are treated fairly. Click here for bill text. “The Inflation Reduction Act picked winners and losers in energy production, and hard-working Americans suffered the most by having to pay more for everything, including utilities. The Resilience Act of 2025 would fix the unfair tax treatment of utilities under the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax by allowing regulated utilities to fully deduct repair expenditures. This bill would increase energy affordability for consumers and ensures tax fairness, ultimately creating a more resilient and reliable energy grid,” said Congresswoman Miller. The RESILIENCE Act of 2025 is supported by American Water,the Edison Electric Institute, Appalachian Power, Exelon, and FirstEnergy: "We were honored to host Congresswoman Miller at West Virginia American Water for this robust discussion on her RESILIENCE Act. Water utilities are capital-intensive industries. American Water and other providers invest billions to maintain and improve their systems, ensuring safe, clean and reliable service. As it stands without a repairs adjustment, costs for utilities are increased. Congresswoman Miller's legislation would codify this adjustment, benefiting customers – we applaud her for this forward-looking policy," said Christine Keck, Vice President, Chief Legislative and External Affairs Officer at American Water. “Electric companies make substantial investments in the nation’s energy grid every year—investments that are critical to meeting growing electricity demand and to maintaining the availa… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T01:08:28Z |

This legislation protects American digital companies operating in Korea from discriminatory treatment. “With foreign trade at the forefront of President Trump’s focus, the importance of protecting American companies abroad has never been greater. Newly elected South Korean President Lee Jae-Myung’s digital regulatory legislation would disproportionately impact U.S. companies and threaten their ability to operate overseas. I reintroduced the United States-Republic of Korea Digital Trade Enforcement Act this Congress to maintain a level playing field for our companies operating abroad and ensure an environment that allows both of our nations’ digital companies to thrive remains intact. It is the United States’ responsibility to regulate our digital companies, not a foreign government’s. I thank my colleagues for joining me in the re-introduction of this legislation and look forward to working with House leadership to get it passed,” said Rep. Carol Miller. “With the victory of President Lee, the US - ROK Digital Trade Enforcement Act is imperative. His promise to pass PCPA would unduly burden U.S. platforms while benefiting Chinese digital companies. As our trade deficit with South Korea continues to increase, we must ensure free digital trade between our nations is upheld,” said Rep. Max Miller.

A video of the Congresswoman's questions followed by Secretary Bessent's responses can be found here and is transcribed below. Congresswoman Miller began by voicing support for the One, Big, Beautiful Bill’s inclusion of her Saving Gig Economy Taxpayers Act and asking Secretary Bessent about how reverting back to the time-tested standard of $20,000 and 200 transactions for 1099-K will positively affect taxpayers. “One of my top priorities in the tax package is to repeal the Democrat’s absurd 1099-K threshold. Under the Biden Administration, Democrats changed the time-tested standard of $20,000 and 200 transactions to $600 when determining whether a taxpayer receives a 1099-K or not. Before this committee, your predecessor acknowledged that this new threshold would be difficult to administer and lead to the taxpayer's confusion. Instead of working with us to fix it, the Biden Treasury unconstitutionally delayed implementation and then changed the threshold to try and ease the taxpayer's confusion in the election year. Unfortunately, there are still millions more 1099-K forms that were sent out and Republicans have worked to restore the 1099-K threshold to the time-tested standard of $20,000 and 200 transactions by including my Saving Gig Economy Taxpayers Act in the One, Big, Beautiful Bill. Can you shed some light on how this policy and others being produced from your Department will make life easier for taxpayers?” asked Congresswoman Carol Miller. “Representative, thank you for discussing these very important issues.

The Community TEAMS Act creates a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grant program which would provide community-based training for medical students in rural and medically underserved communities. “Americans in rural communities deserve the same quality of health care treatment as patients in more populated areas. The Community TEAMS Act gives medical students the ability to adapt to medical challenges that may arise while serving in rural communities and provides them with opportunities to practice medicine in the rural workforce. By training medical students in underserved areas of our country, we are laying the foundation for better health care in the U.S.," said Congresswoman Miller. “In communities across the DFW area and throughout Texas, where many families rely on Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) for essential care, we need more medical professionals who are trained and ready to meet the needs of underserved populations.

Chaired by Congressman Riley Moore (R-WV), the task force will also work to educate members and staff about the rescissions process & the President’s impoundment authority, as well as make the case for additional rescissions packages to be sent to Congress. The RSC has long supported the use of rescissions to rein in out of control spending, formally endorsing President Trump's first rescissions package when it was sent to Congress in 2017. Recognizing the need to honor the commitment we made to the American people to eliminate woke, wasteful, and weaponized spending, the RSC has decided to accelerate our efforts by establishing the Rescissions Working Group. The committee is grateful to former RSC Chair and current House Majority Leader Steve Scalise for leading the effort to shepherd the rescissions package through the House, and our Rescissions Working Group stands prepared to support the Majority Leader in his determined efforts to get this package over the finish line. “I’m thrilled to be chairing this task force for RSC and thank Chairman Pfluger for his support,” said Congressman Moore. "President Trump was given a historic mandate by the American people to restore common sense and end waste, fraud, and abuse. This rescission package is a key first step in codifying necessary cuts, and I look forward to working with my colleagues and the White House as we continue to deliver for the American people." "The RSC's Rescissions Working Group is the first of its kind, and signals to the American people that House conservatives are ready to meet the moment and assist President Trump in delivering on his historic mandate," said RSC Chairman August Pfluger (TX-11). "The rescissions package sent to Congress serves as a critical opportunity for Congress to ta… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T01:08:28Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington D.C. – Today, Congresswomen Carol Miller (R-WV) and Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), and Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) and Alex Padilla (D-CA), reintroduced the Preserving Emergency Access in Key Sites Act (PEAKS) Act. The PEAKS Act would ensure Critical Access Hospitals in mountainous areas receive fair compensation for ambulatory services and modify distance requirements. “Everyone, regardless of where they live, should have access to quality and affordable health care. My home state of West Virginia has more Critical Access Hospitals in mountainous areas than any other state in the country, and I know how hard it can be for those who live in rural, mountainous regions to receive treatment in a timely manner. The Preserving Emergency Access in Key Sites Act (PEAKS Act) is life-saving legislation that will ensure Critical Access Hospitals in mountainous areas are compensated fairly for the ambulatory services they provide to patients and positively impact rural communities across the nation. It’s imperative that all patients, especially those that live in unforgiving terrain, can access emergency medical care,” said Rep. Carol Miller. “All Americans deserve quality access to health services, even if they reside in areas that are difficult to access. To protect the wellbeing of our rural residents, we must ensure that these hospitals have enough funding to continue providing their life-saving services. The Preserving Emergency Access in Key Sites (PEAKS) Act allows us to do so, by broadening the requirements to become a Critical Access Hospital and by providing fair compensation for their emergency transportation services. The American public should be able to rely on its ambulances,” said Rep. Zoe Lofgren. “As residents of the Mountain State, we are proud of our beautiful peaks, however, we are also aware of the transportation challenges—especially for ambulances—that exist due to our mountainous topography. I’m proud to introduce the PEAKS Act to address this challenge and ensure even our most rural res… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:34:38Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Yesterday, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) and Congressman Danny K. Davis (D-IL) introduced legislation to reauthorize critical reentry grant programs from the Second Chance Act of 2008 to support reentry efforts including housing, career training and job placement, and substance use disorder and mental health treatment. The Second Chance Reauthorization Act of 2025 would reauthorize critical programs to reduce recidivism, invest in communities, and promote public safety. Over 95% of the prison population will eventually be released, with more than 600,000 individuals returning to their communities from prison each year and an even higher number entering and exiting local jails. To address this need and to improve reentry services and lower recidivism rates, the Second Chance Act was passed by Congress with bipartisan support and signed into law by President Bush in April 2008. The Act was last reauthorized by President Trump in 2018. Senators Capito (R-WV) and Booker (D-NJ) introduced companion legislation in the U.S. Senate. “Since the Second Chance Act passed in 2008, formerly incarcerated West Virginians reentering our communities have received the vital services and support they needed to return home successfully,” said Rep. Miller. “We have seen the benefits of the Second Chance Act in West Virginia and across the country. When we put in place strong reentry programming, we are creating safer communities where individuals feel supported and empowered to break the cycle of recidivism.” “Second Chance reentry programs and services have reached hundreds of thousands of individuals and families across the country, creating healthier families and safer communities,” said Rep. Davis. “Continuing to invest in these evidenced-based interventions is a commonsense approach to strengthen individuals, re-build families, and grow our economy.” Joining Representatives Miller and Davis are Representatives Darin LaHood (R-IL), Lucy McBath (D-GA), Bruce Westerman (R-AR), Hank Johnson (D-GA), Laurel… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T00:49:36Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – This morning, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 1, the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act. Congresswoman Miller voted in favor of the legislation, and spoke in support of the bill’s passage on the House floor. Her speech can be viewed here and is transcribed below: “Thank you for yielding. I rise today in strong support of the One, Big, Beautiful Bill. Ways and Means Republicans have worked tirelessly for two years, traveling across America and hearing from real people about the impact that the 2017 Trump Tax Cuts had on them. Working families got more money back in their pay checks from a simplified tax code, Main Street America was able to utilize the small business deduction to weather the storm of high inflation during the Biden years, and larger businesses were able to invest more of their money domestically because of a globally competitive corporate rate. This One, Big, Beautiful Bill builds on all of that successful tax policy – and then some. This bill gives the average working family a $1,300 tax cut. It delivers on President Trump’s promises of no tax on tips and no tax on overtime pay. It makes permanent the 199A small business deduction to keep our economy humming. It also provides relief to gig workers by ending the Democrats’ ridiculous $600 1099-K reporting threshold and reverting back to the time-tested standard of $20,000 and 200 transactions. I have worked tirelessly to fix this problem since Democrats created it – and I am glad to see it included in this bill. This legislation will undoubtedly make the life of the Average American better, and I am proud to support it on the House floor and help get it to President Trump’s desk. I urge my colleagues to do the same.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T00:49:36Z |

Moore | M001235 | rileymoore.house.gov | rileymoore | https://rileymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – This morning, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Congressman Riley M. Moore voted “Yes” on the legislation, and earlier this morning spoke in favor of it on the House floor. Congressman Moore issued the following statement: “77 million Americans demanded generational change in November. Today, House Republicans delivered on that mandate from the American people. “Our One Big Beautiful Bill delivers major victories for the American people: “It unleashes American energy like never before, repeals billions in subsidies for the Green New Scam, expedites permitting, and kills the radical EV mandates. “It delivers the largest tax cut in American history by making the 2017 tax cuts permanent, eliminates tax on tips and overtime, and slashes taxes on Social Security payments. “It sends critical resources to immigration authorities for border security and large-scale deportation efforts, finishes construction of the border wall, invests in 21st-century defense systems like the Golden Dome, restores America’s maritime dominance, and upgrades the nation’s air traffic control system. “It invests in the American family by expanding the child tax credit, enhances the adoption tax credit, establishes federal savings accounts for new babies, defunds big abortion, and ends government funding for all sex-change surgeries. “This bill delivers for West Virginia and the American people. We strengthened Medicaid for those who need it, cut spending by over $1.5 trillion, and will soon see our economy enter a new Golden Age. I’m proud to have voted “Yes” today, and urge the Senate to quickly pass this legislation and send it to President Trump for signature.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T00:49:36Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Last week, after an 18-hour markup session, the Ways and Means Committee voted to build upon the 2017 Trump tax cuts, averting a 22 percent tax hike on American families. The Republican-led bill will deliver meaningful tax relief for average working families, including an additional $1,300 tax cut, increasing annual take-home pay by $4,000 to $5,000, and raising annual real wages by roughly $3,000. This One, Big, Beautiful Bill keeps President Trump’s promises of no tax on tips, no tax on overtime pay, no tax on auto loan interest, and tax relief for seniors. This bill will also bolster small businesses throughout the country by increasing the 199A small business deduction to 23 percent and making the deduction permanent, provide relief to gig workers by ending the $600 1099-K reporting threshold imposed by Democrats, and encourages domestic manufacturing by allowing 100% expensing for new factories and improvements to existing factories. The legislation also ensures taxpayer benefits are going to legal American citizens by requiring a Social Security number for individuals claiming tax credits and deductions. “Ways and Means Committee Republicans are committed to ensuring that American families are once again put at the forefront of our country’s economic policies, rather than foreign governments and illegal immigrants. By passing this tax package through our committee, we are one step closer to securing President Trump’s promises and ushering in a golden age of American manufacturing and economic success. I call on my colleagues in the House of Representatives to pass this bill so that we can continue to work toward getting it to President Trump’s desk,” said Congresswoman Miller. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T00:49:36Z |

Moore issued the following statement on Cleveland-Cliff’s announcement about the future of their Weirton steel facility: “For generations, the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia has forged the steel that kept our country strong, prosperous, and free. Today’s announcement is nothing short of heartbreaking. “Last year I stood in front of the men and women of United Steelworkers Local 2911, laying out a vision to get the plant running again and the steel workers back on the job. Despite today’s disheartening news, Weirton remains one of the best places in America to produce steel because of our hardworking, skilled workforce with a century of experience in the industry. “I’ve had productive conversations about the future of this facility with people in the Trump Administration, neighboring members of Congress, the Congressional Steel Caucus, and our partners in the private sector. I’ll keep fighting for Weirton and to keep these good-paying union steel jobs in the Northern Panhandle.” Background: The tinplate steel facility operated by Cleveland-Cliffs in Weirton, West Virginia was idled during the Biden Administration after the International Trade Commission rejected anti-dumping duties, triggering large job losses. Then-State Treasurer Riley Moore helped secure $50 million in support from the West Virginia Economic Development Authority to retrofit the plant for electrical steel and transformer production. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T00:49:36Z |

This bipartisan legislation will allow utilities to deduct repair costs from the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax and will ensure that these companies are treated fairly. Click here for bill text. “The Inflation Reduction Act picked winners and losers in energy production, and hard-working Americans suffered the most by having to pay more for everything, including utilities. The Resilience Act of 2025 would fix the unfair tax treatment of utilities under the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax by allowing regulated utilities to fully deduct repair expenditures. This bill would increase energy affordability for consumers and ensures tax fairness, ultimately creating a more resilient and reliable energy grid,” said Congresswoman Miller. “EEI’s member electric companies make significant investments each year to maintain the energy grid and to make it stronger and more secure,” said EEI Interim President and CEO Pat Vincent-Collawn. “The current process for taxing these critical investments under the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax needlessly raises costs for electricity customers, threatens job creation, and undermines ongoing efforts to strengthen America’s energy security. We greatly appreciate Representatives Miller and Schneider’s leadership in developing this common-sense solution, which will help keep customer costs as low as possible while enhancing the reliability and resilience of the grid.” “America’s natural gas utilities invest $37 billion each year in enhancing the safety and efficiency of natural gas distribution and transmission systems – these investments help us to deliver affordable, reliable, safe and cleaner natural gas and have lowered emissions from the natural gas distribution system by 70% since 1990.

Click here to watch the remarks. Congresswoman Miller began by highlighting how the Biden administration’s inaction on trade has given other countries, including China, an advantage in global trade. “Thank you for being here today Ambassador Greer. It is my opinion that part of the reason President Trump has taken such drastic action on trade is due to the fact that the United States had virtually no trade agenda under the Biden administration, and I didn’t hear sniping from the other side about that. The past administration’s failure to engage in meaningful conversations with our trade partners has opened the door for countries to run afoul of World Trade Organization tariff agreements and impose excessive non-tariff barriers. These countries have had no incentive to negotiate, they were massively benefiting from the system as it is. For example, the hardwood companies in my district have been pummeled by China dumping their hardwood into the American market. China gained at our expense while we were asleep at the wheel. Thankfully, that is not the policy of the United States anymore. Due to President Trump’s swift action, more than 70 countries are knocking down our door, ready to negotiate a trade deal.” Congresswoman Miller asked about the Trump administration’s commitment to the United States Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA) and how it will improve U.S. manufacturing. “Today I want to focus on the future of our trade agenda. Looking to the very near future, the Administration is required, by statute, to undertake the United States Mexico Canada Agreement review process in 2026. I cannot understate the importance of USMCA to my constituents.

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) participated in a Ways and Means Health Subcommittee hearing to discuss how biosimilars are safe, effective, and affordable options for patients who need complex pharmaceutical products and examine the challenges and opportunities to increase patient access to these alternatives. Click here to watch the remarks. Congresswoman Miller began by highlighting how biosimilars could help reduce health care costs for West Virginians. “The majority of my work in the health care space is focused on ensuring robust patient access to care, particularly for rural patients. In my district, the median household income is $52,742 – which makes my district one of the most financially-constrained in the country. Additionally, 1.2 million people in West Virginia have at least one chronic disease. In a state of only 1.7 million people, that means that most West Virginians are on a tight budget already – and then also have to consider the potential high cost of managing their health. Biosimilars seem to be a great option that can help reduce patient costs, but it appears from your testimonies that we have some work to do to make sure patients and providers are educated on biosimilar options, and insurers are putting these drugs onto their formularies.” Congresswoman Miller asked Dr. Debra Patt, MD, President, Community Oncology Alliance, about the increase in exposure to biosimilars. “The medical community is well versed in comparison to a decade ago regarding biosimilars and I'd mentioned earlier, but I think that conversation has gotten a lot easier. Though, there are other barriers that that we face. For example, if I have a patient that's on Trastuzumab or Herceptin to treat metastatic breast cancer, and I talk to them about switching to a biosimilar product, the insurance company and the pharmacy benefit manager will prioritize a specific biosimilar that we're underwater on, meaning that our costs exceed our reimbursement.

Moore | M001235 | rileymoore.house.gov | rileymoore | https://rileymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Riley M. Moore (R-WV) and Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced the Fairness for Stay at Home Parents Act, which closes a loophole in the Family and Medical Leave Act to ensure employers can’t claw back the cost of health insurance premiums from an employee should he or she choose not to return to work after the birth of a child. With health insurance premiums for family coverage averaging $25,000 per year, this current loophole can compel parents to return to work even if they feel unready or would prefer to stay home. 50% of mothers who return to work after the birth of their child experience feelings of guilt about not being with their newborn. This bill strengthens families by giving new parents the option to raise their children without having to worry about their employer clawing back their healthcare premiums. The legislation has been endorsed by the American Principles Project, the Bull Moose Project, the Human Coalition, and Concerned Women for America LAC. Congressman Moore issued the following statement: “Being pro-life means being pro-family. That means ensuring families aren’t penalized for deciding to have a parent stay home with their new baby. “Our bill ensures families won't face a huge bill for insurance premiums simply for choosing what's best for their family.” Senator Mike Lee added: “Our legislation rectifies a problem with the Family and Medical Leave Act that unfairly impacts mothers who decide to stay home with their newborns after maternity leave. Each additional financial burden we can remove from growing American families is a victory, and this bill will make it easier for hundreds of thousands of new parents to care for their kids.” Brad Wilcox, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Family Studies, further added: “Family policy should give parents the choice to care for their young children. The Fairness for Stay-at-Home Parents Act does this, which is why I think it is a smart idea.” This story was first covered by the Daily Wire.

Moore issued the below statement applauding President Trump’s new executive order to reinvigorate the American coal industry. Rep. Moore was a guest at the formal signing ceremony at the White House this afternoon. Congressman Moore issued the following statement: “President Trump is the first president in my lifetime to highlight the critical need for coal to power our economy and ensure national security. Today’s executive order confirms our new Golden Age will be coal-fired! “This action from President Trump sends the right message to our brave miners and the entire energy industry at a time when ‘transitioning away’ from coal and other fossil fuels has been the number one priority of the radical climate cabal. “We have hundreds of years of coal reserves under our feet in West Virginia, and extracting them will be critical to powering our AI revolution and continuing to provide cheap and reliable electricity for consumers.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T00:33:40Z |

Moore | M001235 | rileymoore.house.gov | rileymoore | https://rileymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Congressman Riley M. Moore joined President Trump at the White House earlier today for the formal “Liberation Day” announcement regarding reciprocal tariffs on select foreign imports. Congressman Moore is the author of legislation in the House to strengthen the executive’s negotiating power on reciprocal tariffs, with the aim of reducing foreign tariff and non-tariff trade barriers that make it difficult for American manufacturers to access foreign markets. Congressman Moore issued the following statement: “For decades, foreign countries have enjoyed free access to the greatest consumer marketplace on the face of the planet, all while still charging our domestic producers hefty duties or imposing significant barriers to access their markets. Today that ends. “President Trump is the only president in my lifetime to acknowledge how unfair trade has gutted the heartland and shipped countless jobs overseas. By finally reciprocating in-kind, we’ll force foreign competitors to the negotiating table, lower trade barriers, and ultimately create real free and fair trade across the board. “I’m confident this move will boost our domestic manufacturing industry and fuel demand for American products across the globe.” See Congressman Moore’s commentary in support of reciprocal tariffs on Fox News, Fox Business Network, CNN, and Just the News. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T00:33:40Z |

The bill would allow seniors on Medicare to receive at-home emergency medical services to treat minor medical incidents by creating a model that reimburses Emergency Medical Service (EMS) providers delivering treatment in place and not just reimburse when Medicare patients are transported to the hospital. Click here for bill text. “Emergency Medical Services (EMS) providers are at the frontline of delivering care and transportation in rural America. In West Virginia, many patients live hours from a hospital and must consistently rely on EMS for treatment. Our EMS personnel are equipped to provide care to patients that may not be in a dire medical situation, rather than spend precious time and resources on transporting non-emergency patients to a hospital emergency department. This commonsense legislation builds upon the Treatment-in-Place Model to provide timely care to our rural patients and empower EMS providers, and I will continue to work to improve access to quality health care for patients in West Virginia and across the U.S.,” said Congresswoman Miller. “For some patients, an emergency room visit may not be necessary and can place additional burdens on our first responders and health care providers in the hospital,” said Congressman Carey. “For many, including seniors on Medicare, treatment in place is more viable, saves time and money, and increases the availability of first responders. These options also save seniors a trip to the emergency room that can result in long wait times, increased costs, and potentially life-threatening complications. I urge my colleagues to join me and pass this bill.” “Treatment In Place (TIP) could save Medicare between $1.2 and $1.5 billion annual… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T00:33:40Z |

Davis (D-IL), Barry Moore (R-AL), and LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), as well as Senators Kevin Cramer (R-ND) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) in reintroducing the bicameral Second Chance Month Resolution. “In West Virginia, we know how important it is to provide everyone with opportunities to succeed. Recognizing April as Second Chance Month gives hope to those who are reentering the workforce after serving their time incarcerated. When we invest in our communities and put in place resources and support for people released from prisons and jails, we build stronger and safer communities,” said Congresswoman Miller. “This resolution will bring more visibility to Second Chance programs that are instrumental in helping people across the nation get back on the right path as they reenter their communities.” “Recognizing April as Second Chance Month is an excellent opportunity to raise awareness on the importance of creating pathways for the millions of Americans previously and currently incarcerated, who have paid their debt to society, and experience the innumerable barriers to re-entering their communities,” said Congressman Westerman. “Each of these Americans have an intrinsic value and are worthy of the dignity that comes with establishing hard-earned jobs and gaining sought-after respect. Everyone deserves a second chance, and Congress must work to break down the stigmas attached to incarceration and reducing recidivism rates. I’m honored to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle on this resolution to restore the dignity of these reformed individuals.” “Since Prison Fellowship launched Second Chance Month in 2017, we are honored to lead this growing national movement that includes more than 1,000 partners committed to unlocking second chances for the 1 in 3 Americans with a criminal record who face nearly 44,000 barriers to building a productive future,” said Hea… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T00:33:40Z |

CMS’ current restrictions make it more challenging for Medicare beneficiaries to obtain medication by limiting pick up only to the patients themselves. In my home state of West Virginia, it can take hours for a patient just to get to their nearest physician or pharmacist and they simply do not have that kind of time to waste when it comes to their health. That’s why I am glad to join Congresswoman Harshbarger in reintroducing the Seniors’ Access to Critical Medications Act which allows patients to receive their prescriptions either through mail or by having a family member or caregiver pick up the medication on their behalf. This bill removes any barriers that prevent Medicare patients from fully accessing life-sustaining treatment,” said Congresswoman Miller. "My district in East Tennessee is extremely rural, so for many folks, getting to their healthcare specialist or a pharmacy to pick up a prescription is difficult enough as it is. Now imagine having to undergo this task if you're elderly with cancer. The ability to be able to mail these crucial medications to our most vulnerable was one of the few silver linings that came out of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it's our responsibility as lawmakers to make the lives of our most vulnerable easier, not more difficult. This legislation accomplishes just that,” said Congresswoman Harshbarger. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T00:33:40Z |

This legislation seeks to ensure that taxpayer-funded physician residency training programs provide equal opportunities for both Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs) and Medical Doctors (MDs). Click here for bill text. “It is imperative that there is full transparency for all federally funded graduate medical education to provide an accurate record of who is getting selected for residency programs. The Fair Access in Residency (FAIR) Act will improve reporting requirements and ensure that osteopathic medical students are treated fairly when applying for residency slots. The West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine enrolls more than 800 students, and the FAIR Act will make certain they are treated fairly when applying to residency programs,” said Congresswoman Miller. “I represent a very rural part of Tennessee that’s already facing physician shortages. There’s no reason to continue practices that keep qualified doctors from serving the communities that need them most. That’s why I’m proud to lead the reintroduction of this legislation. Congress must ensure our taxpayer-funded residency programs are tapping into the full pipeline of talent — both DOs and MDs — without discrimination. The FAIR Act promotes transparency and fairness in GME, with the ultimate goal of increasing the number of trained physicians ready to care for our communities,” said Congresswoman Harshbarger. "As president of the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine, I am thrilled to see the Fair Access in Residency (FAIR) Act introduced for the 119th Congress.

The federal disaster assistance that President Trump issued for our state is crucial to helping our communities recover faster, and I thank the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for their efforts to provide essential resources and financial help to my constituents during this time. I also thank HUD’s regional administrator Joe DeFelice for taking the time to visit Welch and Bradshaw to see the aftermath firsthand. I look forward to continuing to work closely with the Trump administration to deliver more relief for the West Virginians who were hurt by the storms,” said Congresswoman Miller. “Ensuring our communities have the resources they need to recover from disasters is a top priority. I appreciate the collaboration we’ve had with HUD, including the recent visit by Regional Administrator DeFelice in assessing the damage in Welch and Bradshaw. I am grateful to HUD for delivering additional resources to West Virginians impacted by these storms, which will help in the rebuilding and strengthening of our communities for the future,” said Senator Capito. “I was just in Welch, West Virginia to view disaster recovery with the Acting Administrator of FEMA, the Small Business Administration, the county commission, local mayors, and folks effected by the floods. Through the leadership of President Trump, we are really moving forward with a whole of government response that is truly encouraging to see.

Image Congresswoman Miller began by reflecting on the United States’ need to strengthen trade relations in the Indo-Pacific to increase the U.S.’ standing within the region and deter China's global trade dominance. “The Indo-Pacific is an essential strategic foothold to combat China’s quest for global economic dominance. The economies in the Indo-Pacific are rapidly developing. The growing personal wealth of the citizens in the Indo-Pacific provides more export opportunities. The advances in the region’s manufacturing sector enables us to diversify our supply chain away from China. Unfortunately, we are falling severely behind as China makes significant strides. While the United States has not concluded a single trade agreement with an Indo-Pacific partner in more than 10 years, China concluded negotiations with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to enhance their massive free trade area in October 2024. This is why I re-introduced the U.S. Trade Leadership in the Indo-Pacific Act with several of my colleagues on this committee. This bill will make significant inroads to further our partnerships in the region,” said Congresswoman Miller. Congresswoman Miller asked Jonathan Root, the Chief Financial Officer and President of Commercial, Harley-Davidson, Inc. to share his thoughts on how the lack of trade in the Indo-Pacific region affects U.S. companies and how Congress should address this. “Mr. Root, as you are aware, our lack of engagement in the Indo-Pacific has left the door open for these nations to stifle bilateral trade by imposing significant trade barriers on American products. This includes remarkably steep tariffs on Harley Davidson motorcycles. Could you speak to the importance of the Indo-Pacific as an export market?

Moore introduced the Respecting Parents’ Childcare Choices Act. This pro-family legislation significantly increases annual authorized funding levels for the Child Care Development Block Grant, which states disburse via vouchers to working-class families to help finance childcare. The bill also empowers families to choose the childcare option that works best for them, which can include paying a parent directly if they stay home and by eliminating burdensome regulations tied to paying a relative for childcare. Finally, the bill eliminates marriage penalties and codifies existing policy protections for faith-based childcare providers. Congressmen Clay Higgins of Louisiana and Brandon Gill of Texas joined Rep. Moore in co-sponsoring the bill. Identical legislation has been introduced in the Senate by Senator Jim Banks of Indiana. The legislation is endorsed by Heritage Action for America, American Principles Project, American Compass, Independent Women’s Forum, CatholicVote, Family Policy Alliance, Students for Life, Susan B. Anthony List, March for Life Action, the Bull Moose Project, and Family Research Council. Congressman Moore issued the following statement: “For decades, conservatives have rallied around being pro-life, but far too often, the policy framework that came with it lacked strong, substantive ideas to reduce the burden on American families. Being pro-life means being pro-family, and with this legislation, we’re empowering families to choose what works best for them. “This is just the first step I aim to take in ushering in a new era that makes raising a family great again.” Here’s what others are saying: “The Biden Administration’s burdensome overregulation increased the cost of childcare and withheld funding from the childcare arrangements many families prefer,” said Senator Jim Banks of Indiana. “Big government never works.

In efforts to support our communities’ medical responders, I am joining my colleagues in introducing the bipartisan Protecting Access to Ground Ambulance Medical Services Act. This bill will give ambulance service providers the appropriate Medicare reimbursement needed for them to continue providing adequate life-saving treatment to vulnerable patients without worrying about high costs,” said Congresswoman Miller. "Access to emergency services is critical in rural areas across the country, including NY-24, which spans 14 counties. However, lifesaving ambulance transports are often costly, placing a burden on patients and providers alike. The Protecting Access to Ground Ambulance Medical Services Act will help reduce these costs while ensuring that emergency care providers can continue delivering vital medical services to rural communities nationwide,” said Congresswoman Tenney. Background: This legislation aims to provide adequate Medicare reimbursement for emergency service providers, helping them hire and retain EMT staff and modernize their equipment to continue delivering lifesaving care. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T00:15:27Z |

It’s critical that Americans understand these atrocities are happening across our border. “President Trump was right to designate the Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, and I encourage him to take every action necessary to eliminate this direct threat to our homeland and our very way of life.

Click here for the full letter. On the lawmakers’ concern regarding the anti-circumvention inquiry into imports from Vietnam and its impact on the U.S. hardwood industry: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) and the International Trade Administration (ITA) have a long-standing trade dispute pending regarding imports of certain hardwood plywood products alleged to have originated in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). We strongly support the Trump Administration’s efforts to crack down on unfairly traded imports from China. However, we are concerned that legitimate U.S. importers may become unintended collateral damage in this process because of decisions made by the Biden Administration’s Commerce Department and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Specifically, we are concerned that NWH, Inc., a major U.S.-based operator located in Frisco, TX, which operates sawmills and distributes lumber products while employing approximately 1,000 workers across 12 states, may be unfairly affected by the Biden Administration’s rulings. The fundamental issue that the entire trade proceeding seeks to resolve is whether the hardwood plywood was produced in Vietnam or China. NWH has provided substantial evidence that it complied with the applicable regulations, which have been included in the case record. NWH closely followed the memo issued by ITA on July 9, 2020, which clarified that “the merchandise subject to these anticircumvention and scope inquiries does not include core veneers fully produced in Vietnam or a third country that are ass… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T00:15:27Z |

Moore | M001235 | rileymoore.house.gov | rileymoore | https://rileymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Congressman Riley M. Moore has just introduced new, groundbreaking legislation to halt the issuance of student visas to Chinese nationals. The Stop Chinese Communist Prying by Vindicating Intellectual Safeguards in Academia Act (Stop CCP VISAs Act) comes on the heels of several cases where Chinese students have been caught spying on the U.S. military or stealing advanced technology from American companies. Rep. Moore first raised concern about this issue in an op-ed in Newsweek in February. Five House lawmakers joined Rep. Moore in co-sponsoring the legislation: Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX); Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA); Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX); Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN); and Rep. Addison McDowell (R-NC). In addition, Senator Ashley Moody (R-FL) is expected to introduce companion legislation in the Senate. Congressman Moore issued the following statement: “Every year we allow nearly 300,000 Chinese nationals to come to the U.S. on student visas. We’ve literally invited the CCP to spy on our military, steal our intellectual property, and threaten national security. Just last year, the FBI charged five Chinese nationals here on student visas after they were caught photographing joint US-Taiwan live fire military exercises. This cannot continue. “Congress needs to end China’s exploitation of our student visa program. It’s time we turn off the spigot and immediately ban all student visas going to Chinese nationals.” Here’s what others are saying: “For decades, the failed post-Cold War consensus assumed China would democratize and liberalize if we welcomed them into our markets, media, and universities. Instead, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) took advantage of Americans’ goodwill and subversively exported agents to our shores to spy, oppress dissidents and enemies of the state, and steal publicly funded research and intellectual property to the tune of billions of dollars," said Senator Ashley Moody.

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Congresswoman Miller began by pointing out the medical challenges patients in rural communities’ face and how her bill, the Hospice Recertification Flexibility Act, would be a solution. “Rural patients, like my constituents in West Virginia, are disproportionately left without the critical support they need to recover after major illnesses and from surgeries. This lack of access to essential care not only affects their recovery, but also increases their risk of complications, leading to longer hospital stays and a diminished quality of life. One way to address this critical gap is to expand telehealth usage in post-acute care settings. I introduced the Hospice Recertification Flexibility Act, which passed out of this committee last year. My bill would allow hospice providers to use telehealth to conduct face-to-face visits required for hospice recertification,” said Congresswoman Miller. Congresswoman Miller asked Paul Dongilli, the CEO of Madonna Rehabilitation Hospitals, to speak to how rural access challenges can affect patients and their families. “Mr. Dongilli, not only do patients suffer from a lack of proximity to necessary care, but their families and spouses are also deeply affected. For caregivers and loved ones, the inability to regularly visit or assist in the recovery process can lead to emotional, financial, and logistical strain. With these challenges in mind, can you speak about the impact of lack of access to care in rural areas on your patients' spouses and families and the challenges they face visiting their loved ones?” asked Congresswoman Miller. “It is a very real issue for family members. We recognize that treating patients in post-acute care is not just treating that patient, it’s treating the entire family. It’s making them comfortable and confident to take their family member back home once they finish their episode of care. I know we’ve tried to institute various ways to make it easier for those family members to access the care we provide. We provide some family housing.

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) and her colleagues Representatives Terri Sewell (D-AL), Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA), and Chris Deluzio (D-PA) introduced the Methane Reduction and Economic Growth Act. This bipartisan bill focuses on capturing and repurposing mine methane emissions from active and abandoned mines to be used as an energy source across the United States. Click here for bill text. Click here for Axios' exclusive on the Methane Reduction and Economic Growth Act. “Coal has powered the United States for generations, and I’m making sure it continues to fuel our homes, businesses, and economy," 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 jobs in Jefferson & Tuscaloosa Counties while simultaneously 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 p… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T00:15:27Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) reintroduced the Saving Gig Economy Taxpayers Act to restore the 1099-K threshold level of $600 back to the original $20,000 and 200 transactions by repealing the Democrats’ American Rescue Plan policy, which has placed an unfair tax hike upon Americans and gig workers. Congresswoman Miller is introducing this bill with 24 of her Ways and Means Republican colleagues as original co-leads. Click here for bill text. Click here for POLITICO's exclusive on the Saving Gig Economy Taxpayers Act. "For the last four years, Americans have been uncertain about how much they owe in taxes because of the Democrats’ unnecessary changes to the 1099-K threshold. I’m reintroducing the Saving Gig Economy Taxpayers Act to protect Americans who use online payment platforms, gig economy workers, and small e-commerce sellers to ensure they have access to reliable income streams,” said Congresswoman Miller. “Because Democrats’ lowered the 1099-K threshold, an American selling old exercise equipment from his garage online now qualifies as a salesman of workout equipment, a teenager babysitting the neighbors’ kids has a childcare business, and roommates who split rent are now property managers — and all of them will be receiving 1099-K forms from the IRS. The Republican led House will restore the 1099-K threshold to the time-tested amount of $20,000 and 200 transactions." “With the start of the 119th Congress, the Coalition once again expresses our gratitude to Representative Carol Miller for her unwavering leadership on the Saving Gig Economy Taxpayers Act,” said the Coalition for 1099-K Fairness. “We are eager to build on the momentum from last fall and deeply appreciate her efforts to ensure that Congress provides permanent relief to millions of casual sellers, start-ups, and small businesses who sell used or pre-owned goods or transact on online platforms.

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) reintroduced the Assistance for Rural Community Hospitals (ARCH) Act. 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 obtain clear information on the different Medicare rural hospital designations. “Rural hospitals are committed to offering the best care that they can provide for patients, but it is only possible if they have adequate resources. That’s why I am reintroducing the ARCH Act with Congresswoman Sewell. This bill will extend the Medicare-dependent hospital program and Medicare low-volume hospital payments to equip these hospitals with the financial support and services needed to keep their doors open to their communities,” said Congresswoman Miller. “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. I thank Congresswoman Miller for her partnership and urge my colleagues to join us in supporting this legislation.” “Small, rural hospitals, like Medicare-dependent hospitals and those receiving low-volume payment adjustments, need certainty around Medicare reimbursement for budgeting and planning purposes. That’s why the National Rural Health Association (NRHA) is proud to endorse the Assistance for Rural Community Hospitals Act, which would ensure these designations are in place through fiscal year 2031. We applaud Representatives Miller and Sewell for recognizing the importance of a long-term extension for these critical rural hospitals and their continued commitment to improving rural health care,” said Alan Morgan, CEO of the National Rural Health Association (NRHA). “During this time of sustained financial pressure and innovation a… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T00:15:27Z |

Moore to Host Bishop Robert Barron for President Trump’s Joint Address to Congress | 2025-03-02 | 2025 | 2025-03 | Republican | House | WV | Riley M. Moore | M001235 | rileymoore.house.gov | rileymoore | https://rileymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Congressman Riley M. Moore is excited to announce that Bishop Robert Barron will be his guest for President Trump’s joint address to Congress this Tuesday evening. The bishop will also celebrate Mass with members of Congress on the Capitol grounds in advance of the speech. Bishop Barron, who serves as the Bishop of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester in Minnesota, is the founder of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries. His organization, which reaches tens of millions across the globe each year, uses various media platforms to “proclaim Christ in the culture.” He also chairs the Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life, and Youth for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Congressman Moore issued the following statement: “Through Word on Fire, Bishop Barron has helped countless souls discover, strengthen, or return to the Catholic Church by proclaiming the Gospel ‘through the culture.’ His use of contemporary media to reach people is innovative and highly effective. I am honored to host him as my guest for President Trump’s joint address to Congress, and am equally thrilled to have him celebrate the Mass for my colleagues and me prior to the speech.” Bishop Robert Barron added: “I want to express my sincere gratitude to Representative Riley Moore for his kind invitation to celebrate Mass for Catholic members of Congress and to attend, as his guest, the State of the Union Address. I look forward to this opportunity both as a Catholic bishop and as an avid student of American history.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T00:15:27Z |

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Yesterday, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) joined Congressman Troy Balderson (R-OH) and 10 of their House colleagues in introducing legislation to nullify Biden-era regulations that would send America’s most critical power plants into early retirement. The “Clean Power Plan 2.0,” finalized in May 2024, imposes impossible-to-meet emissions requirements on existing coal-fired and newly constructed natural gas-fired power plants. If left in place, this rule will lead to the premature retirement of power plants that generate the reliable power American families and businesses rely upon. "The EPA’s Clean Power Plan 2.0 was a slap in the face to American energy producers, and a reminder that the Biden administration was determined to take down the U.S. coal industry in the name of ‘green’ energy. If nothing is done to reverse the rule, our power plants and electric grid will suffer immensely. That’s why it is imperative we nullify these regulations to ensure our coal and natural gas power plants, as well as American jobs, are safe. I am grateful that President Trump is working with us to undo the mess created by the Biden administration and is committed to protecting American energy production," said Congresswoman Miller. “The ‘Clean Power Plan 2.0’ was the flagship initiative of the Biden-led EPA that, if fully implemented, would destabilize our electric grid and weaken American energy security,” said Congressman Balderson. “Forcing the premature retirement of our most reliable power plants is exceptionally shortsighted when it comes to addressing the long-term reliability of our electric grid. Ohio and the rest of the nation are in the middle of a historic surge in power demand. Nullifying the Biden Administration’s disastrous Clean Power Plan 2.0 will ensure that the lights stay on and the American economy keeps humming.” Click here for bill text.

Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Yesterday, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) and five of her colleagues introduced the bipartisan the Hospice Recertification Flexibility Act, which allows hospice providers to use telehealth to conduct the face-to-face visit required for hospice recertification after 180 days in hospice care. This provision keeps in line with existing hospice telehealth rules and makes sure that patients can remain in the comfort of their home at the close of their life. Joining Congresswoman Miller in introducing this bill are Representatives Jared Golden (D-ME), Beth Van Duyne (R-TX), Don Davis (D-NC), Aaron Bean (R-FL), and Joe Morelle (D-NY).

That’s why I am reintroducing the Hospice Recertification Flexibility Act to allow hospice providers to use telehealth to conduct the face-to-face visits required for hospice recertification. This bill will make it easier for hospice providers by extending access to telehealth as a way for them to continue offering critical care and to monitor the health of their patients,” said Congresswoman Miller. “Hospice care exists to provide comfort and compassion during heartbreaking times. Virtual visits make those services accessible for more people, especially those in rural communities, for whom the nearest hospice facility may be far from home," said Congressman Golden. “This is important, bipartisan work on behalf of families with more than enough on their plates, and I’m determined to see these telehealth provisions become law.” “Hospice caregivers are the angels at the end, providing care and comfort to patients and families, which is why I’m working to protect and expand access to this crucial service,” said Congresswoman Van Duyne. “I’m glad to join Congresswoman Miller and our colleagues in introducing bipartisan legislation to increase flexibility for hospice patients and providers through telehealth.” “We m… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T23:42:11Z |

The Individual Assistance (IA) Program provides funds to individuals experiencing significant damage to homes or property. “We are grateful for the efforts and service of Governor Morrisey, our local leaders, neighbors, first responders, and the West Virginia National Guardsmen who sprang into action when these storms struck. The Trump administration’s approval of our state’s request for federal disaster aid is welcome news for communities in McDowell, Mercer, Mingo, and Wyoming counties as they work to recover and rebuild following these devastating storms, and we are glad that help will soon be on the way to southern West Virginia,” the lawmakers said. Following the storms, the lawmakers sent a letter to the Trump administration in support of the state’s request for a major disaster declaration. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T23:42:11Z |
