The Congressional App Challenge is an annual competition showcasing the value of computer science and STEM education by encouraging middle and high school-age students to learn how to code through the creation of their own apps. Driven by his passion for role-playing games (RPGs), Johnson developed an app featuring heroes who team up for exciting adventures. “The Congressional App Challenge offers a unique opportunity for students to showcase their technical capabilities and to inspire their peers to pursue career paths in computer science,” said Congressman Balderson. “As one of this year’s youngest competitors, Lane has applied his passion and creativity to design a product for others’ enjoyment. He should take great pride in this outstanding achievement.” The app, which Johnson named Cats vs. Dogs: The RPG, is an interactive game that allows players to choose their characters’ abilities and to navigate through different environments and obstacles. A unique component to Johnson’s app is all of the character graphics displayed throughout the game are hand-drawn by him. “I loved making my app and drawing the pictures used in it. I’m so excited about winning 1st place,” said Johnson. Entries from students across Ohio's 12th Congressional District were assessed by a panel of local experts on several criteria, including the demonstrated knowledge of coding and programming skills, as well as the quality and implementation of their ideas. Johnson’s winning app will be eligible for exhibition in the U.S. Capitol Building, and will be featured on the House of Representatives’ website. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z |

| https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2217 | Balderson Cosponsors Bill Ensuring Petroleum Reserve Drawdowns Coincide with Production Boost | 2021-12-09 | 2021 | 2021-12 | Republican | House | OH | Troy Balderson | B001306 | balderson.house.gov | balderson | https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27&Page=11 | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Troy Balderson joined House colleagues today to introduce legislation requiring the Administration to develop a plan to increase oil and gas production on federal lands before they can tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve for political purposes. “This legislation puts common-sense guardrails in place, ensuring steps are taken to boost energy production to meet the needs of consumers,” said Congressman Balderson. “Releasing a 3-day supply from the nation’s emergency petroleum reserve is not a serious long-term solution to America’s energy needs. It’s a distraction from the misguided actions taken by this Administration that are contributing to skyrocketing prices.” Last month, President Biden announced the release of 50 million barrels - what amounts to a 3-day supply - from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) in an effort to alleviate skyrocketing energy prices. Established in 1975, the SPR was intended to respond to national emergencies and to address severe supply disruption, not to manipulate gasoline prices. This legislation provides exemptions for legitimate severe energy supply interruptions. Immediately after announcing its intent to tap into the SPR, the Biden Administration released a report calling for an increase to permit fees on companies drilling for oil and gas on public lands. Increased fees would ultimately be felt by consumers as they fill up their cars and heat their homes. Earlier this year, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and 10 other oil-exporting nations (OPEC+) ignored President Biden’s pleas to increase their production of oil. In response, Congressman Balderson joined 141 House colleagues in a letter calling on the President to refocus his efforts on meeting American energy needs with American-produced energy, rather than calling on OPEC+ and adversaries to increase production. “The Administration's refusal to take meaningful steps to address skyrocketing energy prices and continued actions aimed at shutting down domestic product… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z |
| https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2215 | Balderson-Backed Legislation Protects American Pipeline Projects, Reins In Executive Overreach | 2021-12-08 | 2021 | 2021-12 | Republican | House | OH | Troy Balderson | B001306 | balderson.house.gov | balderson | https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27&Page=11 | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Troy Balderson joined colleagues in introducing legislation today in the House of Representatives aimed at reclaiming Congress' decision-making authority over federal permits for cross-border energy pipelines. "It's time for Congress to step up and take back its powers from the Executive Branch," said Congressman Balderson. "Pipeline shutdowns have dire consequences for our economy and jeopardize American energy security. This bill takes an important step toward reining in executive overreach related to pipeline permits and ensures that such sweeping policy changes are debated and approved by Congress." On his first day in office, President Biden signed an executive order revoking a federal permit that halted construction on the Keystone XL Pipeline, eliminating 11,000 American jobs. The Protecting International Pipelines for Energy Security (“PIPES”) Act prohibits the Executive from unilaterally revoking permits for the construction or operation of cross-border energy infrastructure facilities. The introduction of the PIPES Act follows last month’s confirmed reports that the Biden Administration was gathering data on the impacts of shutting down, yet another major pipeline, Enbridge Line 5. In response, Congressman Balderson joined 12 House colleagues in a letter sounding the alarm on the destructive consequences of shutting down Line 5, prompting a walk-back from the White House. "Across this country, hardworking families are facing skyrocketing heating costs this winter, and further constraining American energy will only make the crisis worse," said Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-07), the lead sponsor of the PIPES Act. "Our international energy infrastructure should not be subject to the whims of an Administration that has repeatedly hurt America's real-world energy needs. Congressional approval should be required before the President unilaterally cancels a permit and blocks energy supplies that keep our homes warm and grow our economy." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z |

This annual authorization bill directs funding to the Department of Defense. Former Army Ranger Warren Davidson (R-OH) voted to pass the bill. After voting for the bill, he made the following statement: “The Defense bill was not perfect. In fact, earlier this year I joined 75 Republicans who opposed the House version and worked to get meaningful improvements, dropping controversial measures such as requiring women to register for selective service, red flag laws, and the creation of an “office of extremism” inside the DOD. “National security is the most essential function of the federal government. Some important wins in the bill: more pay for our troops, important resources for Wright-Patterson AFB’s core missions, securing a strong future for America’s only tank plant in Lima, Ohio, and a focus on readiness while addressing persistent problems like ongoing sexual harassment that have harmed our soldiers without resolution for too long. We have plenty of room to improve; thankfully this bill moved many of those efforts in the right direction.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z |

As our adversaries continue to expand and advance their defense programs and capabilities, it remains critical that we pass this NDAA to support our servicemembers, deter our adversaries, and bolster our national security. I am glad we are one step closer to sending the final FY22 NDAA to President Biden’s desk and I urge the Senate to vote on this bill immediately," concluded Turner.

"The FFA plays a critical role in preparing young people for success in their careers and in life," said Congressman Balderson. "Joining the Congressional FFA Caucus offers members a unique opportunity to support the advancement of this remarkable organization and to share the positive difference its members and alumni have made in their local communities and on our economy." The bipartisan FFA Caucus will work to raise awareness about the National FFA and to advocate for policies to advance the organization. "Ohio FFA is excited to support the newest caucus in Congress that will advance the continual representation of agricultural education and support the next generation of careers in the agricultural industry," said Jacob Zajkowski, President of the Ohio FFA Association. "We are pleased to see the establishment of this caucus and look forward to working with Representative Balderson and others to advocate on behalf of Ohio's 25,000+ members." In addition to the Congressional FFA Caucus, Congressman Balderson is Ohio's only member of the House Agriculture Committee. Earlier this year, Balderson cosponsored H.Res. 150, celebrating "National FFA Week" and recognizing the role of the National FFA Organization in developing our next generation of leaders. The National FFA Organization is a congressionally chartered school-based national youth leadership organization of more than 735,000 student members across 8,817 local chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z |

Turner | T000463 | turner.house.gov | turner | https://turner.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | Washington, DC - Today, Congressman Mike Turner (R-OH), a former NATO PA President, and Congressman Gerry Connolly (D-VA), the current President of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, introducedH.Res. 831, a resolution in support of the establishment of a Center for Democratic Resilience within NATO to help member, partner, and aspirant states strengthen their democratic institutions and to preserve democracy around the globe. Connolly first proposedthe creation of a Center for Democratic Resilience within NATO in 2019—a recommendation then endorsed by the NATO Parliamentary Assembly as a whole. In 2020, the independent Group of Experts on NATO 2030 supported the concept in their recommendationsto the NATO Secretary-General. In April 2021, the Assembly established a Working Group to advance the proposed concept for the Center. Speaker Nancy Pelosi endorsed the proposal in October 2021, while in Lisbon, Portugal for her acceptance of the NATO PA’s inaugural Women in Peace & Security Award. The bipartisan U.S. delegation to the NATO PA has also encouraged Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to build support among Allies for the Center. "Since its creation, NATO has been fundamental in working to establish and defend democracies worldwide to preserve the freedoms and rights of all. Therefore, it is only fitting that we create an entity designed to promote, preserve, and defend established democracies and states which aspire for freedom," said Rep Turner. "The establishment of a Center for Democratic Resilience within NATO will further allow the organization's mission of promoting liberty, human rights, democracy, and the rule of law to flourish. My thanks to Rep Connolly and his commitment to this center; I am eager to continue working with him to establish this long-overdue entity of NATO." “Our commitment to shared democratic values is what distinguishes NATO from other military alliances,” said Rep. Connolly. “Without it, NATO is just another military block that does not like R… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z |

The legislation is cosponsored by Reps. Warren Davidson (R-OH), Tim Ryan (D-OH), Bill Johnson (R-OH), and Steve Chabot (R-OH). The Providing Opportunities for Wider Economic Revitalization (POWER) Act would authorize the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) of the Department of Energy to release all of its reversionary rights to the former AVETEC building located in Springfield, Ohio and transfer it to the Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) of Springfield – Clark County, Ohio, a local non-profit economic development organization. “I have strongly advocated for the AVETEC building to be released to the Springfield community and am glad it was included in the House-passed version of the FY 2022 NDAA. The transfer of this building to the CIC in Southwest Ohio will help spur economic development in our community and gainfully employ an asset currently underutilized by the Department of Energy,” said Congressman Turner. “The POWER Act is a common-sense bill that will benefit both the federal government as well as our local community and economy,” said Senator Portman. “By removing the federal government’s interest in the former AVETEC building located in Springfield, Ohio, and transferring it to the local economic development corporation, this opens opportunities for job creation and puts the building in the hands of the local community who know the region best.” “The transfer of the AVETEC facility to the Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce is common sense – it would help create jobs, boosting the local economy,” said Senator Brown. “I am proud to work with the local business community on this bipartisan legislation and will work to see it passed into law this year.” “When the federal government no longer has a purpose for a building or property, puttin… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:30:49Z |

As Americans suffer from spiraling inflation, President Biden and Congressional Democrats have voted to pour trillions of dollars into the economy. You never pour gas onto a fire, but that is exactly what this money will do for rising prices. Though the CBO cost estimate for this bill is obscured by budget gimmicks, even the CBO admits that the bill will actually add to the deficit. This bill is fiscally irresponsible and morally flawed. “Right now, America needs more freedom and less government. Build Back Better delivers a potentially fatal dose of government in the form of Bernie Sanders' agenda. Dozens of new government programs undermine the dignity of work and make more Americans dependent on an ever-expanding government.

Earlier this week, Politico released satellite imagery of the massive buildup of troops, tanks, armed units, and artillery along towns near Ukraine's northern border. While Russia’s intentions are currently unknown, it is sending an elite tank unit near the Ukraine border, elevating international concern. After sending the letter to the Biden Administration, Congressman Turner and Ranking Member Rogers released the following statement: “Russia continues to undermine the international community. This most recent build-up at the Ukrainian border demonstrates Putin’s desire to weaken democracies and his disregard for NATO’s call for disarmament, '' said Rep Turner. “The U.S. must remain committed to protecting the sovereignty and security of Ukraine as Russia continues to be a grave threat to their region. I urge the Biden administration to immediately provide support to the Ukrainians to help de-escalate this dangerous situation,” concluded Turner. “Putin has spent months deliberately escalating tensions with Ukraine. President Biden must send a clear message to Moscow that the United States and our NATO allies will defend our free European neighbors against Russian aggression,” said Ranking Member Rogers. “Sending the wrong message at this critical time could have dire consequences for the people of Ukraine and our important international obligations.” You can read the full letter here. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:30:49Z |

Months of brinksmanship between progressive and moderate Democrats made it clear that the popularity of infrastructure was simply a ruse to enable a larger socialist agenda – within provisions of the “infrastructure” bill and in the subsequent “social infrastructure” bill. Despite the clarity provided by President Biden and Speaker Pelosi that the two bills are linked, 13 House Republicans crossed the aisle to supply votes that enabled passage of the first component. After voting against the bill, Ohio Rep. Warren Davidson (R) made the following statement: “After months of holding the infrastructure bill hostage, House Democrats finally decided to move forward. Americans can see that Democrats used infrastructure as a Trojan Horse to advance a spending agenda that favors blue states and cities and provides “green” tax breaks for wealthy Americans. I've long favored a narrowly tailored infrastructure package to upgrade our nation’s roads, bridges, and ports. However, I could not support this pork-laden bill, especially when Democrats have been so transparent that it is simply a means of delivering their next bad idea. I’m disappointed, but this has renewed my resolve that Republicans unite to oppose their Build Back Better Act.

Cruz Introduce Bill to Protect Investors from Inflation | 2021-11-05 | 2021 | 2021-11 | Republican | House | OH | Warren Davidson | D000626 | davidson.house.gov | davidson | https://davidson.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, DC - This week, Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) introduced a bill to protect investors from inflation. The Capital Gains Inflation Relief Act (H.R.5838) would amend the U.S. tax code to index the basis for capital gains taxes for inflation. By adjusting the investment basis for inflation, Congress would protect Americans' capital gains just as tax brackets, the standard deduction, and certain income thresholds for tax credits are adjusted for inflation. Under President Biden, inflation has risen from 1.4 percent to 5.4 percent. This invisible tax is eroding the value of the dollar, eating into Americans' savings, and threatening the dollar's status as the world reserve currency. Americans living on a fixed income are most affected by this disastrous monetary policy. After introducing the bill, Rep. Davidson made the following statement. "The best thing Congress can do to protect Americans' savings is return to sound monetary policies that preserve the U.S. dollar as a store value and an efficient means of exchange. This combination has made the dollar the world’s reserve currency. Current policies erode that and cause inflation. To mitigate that impact, Congress should alter the tax code so that investors with long-term capital gains don't pay taxes on the portion of the gain that simply reflects inflation. Americans should not be taxed for the economic distortions caused by Washington D.C.’s flawed policies." After the bill's introduction, Sen. Cruz made the following statement: “The Biden administration’s inflation crisis is causing prices to skyrocket and destroying the purchasing power of Americans’ hard-earned dollars. By indexing capital gains taxes to inflation, we are protecting hardworking Americans from being punished for this administration’s reckless spending and the cruel tax of inflation it created. This bill would encourage people to invest capital in growing businesses, helping job creators hire more people and raise wages when Americans need it most.

"The Biden Administration is requiring working-class Americans to get vaccinated, while allowing illegal immigrants in without even being tested for COVID. It makes no sense. "Employers in my district have serious concerns about keeping workers on their payrolls under these federal mandates. This only makes matter worse in the midst of ongoing labor shortages.

This unfair action devastated the long-term financial security of the nearly 6,000 salaried Delphi employees in Ohio, whose benefits were reduced by up to 70 percent.

Annie Kuster (D-NH), Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE) and Jackie Walorski (R-IN) to reintroduce H.R. 5697, the Community Re-Entry through Addiction Treatment to Enhance (CREATE) Opportunities Act. This legislation works to expand access to medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in incarceration and would create a new grant program within the Department of Justice for state and local governments to provide MAT in their correctional facilities. “Sadly, the COVID-19 pandemic severely worsened the opioid epidemic in Ohio and drug-related deaths increased,” said Congressman Mike Turner. “Incarcerated individuals, who disproportionately suffer from addiction, currently lack a viable path to recovery. This legislation will provide them critical treatment in hopes of reintegrating them back into their communities,” concluded Turner. “Far too many justice-involved individuals in our jails suffer from untreatental health and substance use disorder, and most lack access to the treatment they need,” said Rep. Kuster, founder, and co-chair of the Bipartisan Addiction and Mental Health Task Force. “Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) has an important role to play in helping incarcerated individuals suffering from substance use disorder recover and reclaim their lives to become productive, contributing members of our society. Reducing recidivism is a win-win for our communities: it’s good for public safety, public health, and local and state budgets. The CREATE Opportunities Act is common-sense legislation to provide an evidence-based solution to put an end to the cycle between addiction and the criminal justice system, and I am proud to reintroduce it.” “While we continue to work together as a nation to address the opioid and heroin epidemic, I urge my colleagues to provide the evidence-based, medication-assisted treatment and recovery services we know work during incarceration and after release,” said Rep.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Congressman Troy Balderson, along with 160 House Republican colleagues, joined in a letter to President Biden Wednesday evening urging the Administration to reevaluate its priorities and reverse course on the harmful policies that have led to a worsening of the country’s supply chain crisis and subsequent higher prices on everyday items. “The destructive policies coming out of the White House are making matters worse, not better, for economic growth and the current supply chain crisis,” said Congressman Balderson. “Small businesses are struggling to find workers to fill available jobs, grappling with supply chain shortages, and facing the prospect of laying off workers who refuse to comply with President Biden’s vaccine mandate. Fueling uncertainty further, the Administration continues to push for a multi-trillion-dollar ‘human infrastructure’ package that would raise prices for consumers and tax businesses at a rate higher than communist China.” The letter asks President Biden to call on Congress to halt discussions on the multi-trillion-dollar reconciliation bill that aims to fundamentally change this country and to instead work on real infrastructure solutions that focus on alleviating supply chain bottlenecks and helping to ensure products reach store shelves on time. Balderson, a Member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, points to common-sense solutions to alleviate the worsening bottleneck in America’s supply chain. One such solution would be the passage of the DRIVE-Safe Act, legislation championed by Rep. Balderson, which would lift prohibitions that prevent commercial truck drivers, ages 18-20, from crossing state lines. “As supply chain delays worsen across the country, the DRIVE-Safe Act would provide the common-sense flexibility needed to address America’s shortage of qualified tr… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:24:51Z |

I rise today to honor the life and service of Lima Company, Third Battalion, 25th Marines, Sergeant Major Dan Altieri. Always going above the call of duty to care for his Marines–as a Senior Staff NCO and as a friend and mentor, the Sergeant Major was the living embodiment of the Marine Corps motto: Semper Fidelis, “Always Faithful.” Sergeant Major Dan Altieri dedicated more than 30 years of service to the Marine Corps. Additionally, he served 25 years as a deputy with the Stark County sheriff’s office in Canton, Ohio. Altieri began his distinguished military career in 1982 when he first joined the Marine Corps. Throughout his years of service, Altieri was deployed overseas more than 10 times, including to Grenada, Lebanon, the Gulf War, and to both Iraq and Afghanistan in the Global War on Terror. As a leader with significant experience, Altieri helped his Marines prepare for deployments, making sure they were mentally and physically ready-to-go, encouraging them to stay focused, adaptable, and open-minded. One of his Marines said it best when he reflected on Altieri, saying, "It was amazing to have someone like him to turn to. He truly cared for every one of us. His Marines would follow Sgt. Major Altieri through to the gates of hell.” In fact, that is exactly what they did. Suffering unprecedented losses during its 2005 Iraq deployment, he led his Marines in multiple combat operations and Sergeant Major Altieri played a vital role in caring for Lima upon its return home. As his Marines and so much of Central Ohio mourned for Lima Company in the wake of tragedy, it was left to Altieri to hold his Marines together–a task requiring both strength and compassion. Outside the Marines, he was a family man. He was a loving husband and father. His devotion to family was reflected in his love for his wife Kovette, two grown sons, sister and his mentorship of others. Today, the hearts of so many Ohioans are with the Sergeant Major’s wife and family, his Marine Corps Family, the law en… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:17:01Z |

Last month, as Americans faced 40% higher prices at the pump as a result of his failed policies, President Biden found himself begging OPEC to open the valve to alleviate the pinch of skyrocketing prices. To no one's surprise - OPEC refused. Earlier this year, in a baffling sequence of events... on his VERY FIRST DAY in office, President Biden cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline project, eliminating ELEVEN THOUSAND U.S. energy jobs here at home. And then he gave a green light to Russia’s Nord Stream 2 Pipeline across Europe. Perhaps most appalling, is that the Nord Stream 2 decision was made in the wake of Russian hackers shutting down the Colonial Pipeline, affecting tens of millions of Americans up and down the east coast. These misguided policy decisions by the Biden Administration have caused irreparable harm– Not just to the U.S., but also to our European allies, who are growing increasingly weary of how the Kremlin may use its newfound grasp on the region’s energy supplies to advance their geopolitical influence. Destroying American energy production under the false pretense that doing so is somehow saving the environment is NOTHING MORE than a mismatch of problems and solutions. It’s a disastrous display of virtue-signaling. Meanwhile, in the midst of soaring inflation, American taxpayers are the ones left paying the price - robbed of both reliable energy options AND their hard-earned money.

I strongly advocated for this project since the current child center is a failing, off-base facility with insufficient capacity. This new facility will have the capacity for more than 300 children and include force protection features and necessary spaces including classroom and play areas,” said Turner. “With China undergoing an unprecedented and massive nuclear build-up and Russia undertaking significant modernization of all three legs of its triad, I have strongly advocated ensuring this bill fully funds programs that modernize the nation’s nuclear enterprise to ensure these two adversaries are properly deterred. I have also fought for provisions included in the bill to support service members, their families, and our community, hold the Administration accountable for its disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, strengthen our national security, and provide an unprecedented level of investment in emerging technologies needed for tomorrow’s fight. I am proud to vote in favor of this bill and I urge the Senate to swiftly continue consideration of this important legislation.” FY 2022 NDAA Turner Highlights: Military Construction Initiatives Wright Patterson Air Force Base – Child Development Center: $24 million.

The region is well on its way to becoming the hub of defense-related as well as commercial advances in flying cars. Congressman Turner has been instrumental in supporting the grant program and shaping it to help our region.” –Jeff Hoagland, President & CEO, Dayton Development Coalition Background: The grant was awarded through the Defense Community Infrastructure Program (DCIP) established in the FY19 NDAA. The FY19 NDAA created the program designating the Secretary of Defense to develop how these grants were awarded. After evaluating the distribution system, Rep. Turner advocated switching the requirements of how these grants were awarded in the FY NDAA 21 to allow for a more robust selection process. As a result, the City of Springfield was awarded this grant for AFRL’s research project. Air Force Research Lab, housed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, is a global technical enterprise, leading the discovery, development, and integration of affordable warfighting technologies for our air, space, and cyberspace force. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:17:01Z |

Domtar is a leading manufacturer of thermal paper and is an influential employer in Southwest Ohio with a main production site in West Carrollton. Following the hearing, Congressman Turner made the following statement: “Domtar is an influential employer in Ohio’s 10th District that provides well-paying jobs and if foreign companies continue dumping thermal paper into America, Domtar will have to drastically cut operations and we will lose this critical capability,” said Rep. Turner. “With the COVID-19 pandemic slowing production worldwide, the U.S. cannot afford to fall behind on our domestic production due to the unfair practices of other countries. Today, I urged the USITC to examine this issue and work to set up the proper precautions to prevent dumping and the collapse of the Domtar Plant in my community,” concluded Rep. Turner. “We really appreciate Congressman Turner’s support and leadership on this issue. Winning this trade case is critical for the long-term viability of our manufacturing plant in West Carrollton. Rep. Turner stepped up in a meaningful way on behalf of the 93 women and men who work there.” -Robert Melton, Senior Vice President, Commercial, Domtar Corporation My full remarks are available here. Background: On May 12, 2021, the Department of Commerce preliminarily determined that thermal paper producers in Germany, Korea, Japan, and Spain are dumping thermal paper in the United States and flooding the industry. The ITC held a hearing today to make statements regarding the impact dumping has on the domestic industry. Dumping is a term used in the context of international trade.

NASIC creates integrated, predictive intelligence in the air, space, and cyberspace domains that enables military operations, force modernization, and policymaking. Today, in the midst of a uniquely active international environment, these capabilities are more important than ever. Following the visit, Reps. Turner and Stewart released the following statements: “Our tour of Wright-Patt was a testament of how critical their work is to our national security and overall intelligence gathering. As we look to the battlefields of tomorrow, the groundbreaking work from Wright-Patt will determine what capabilities we have and simultaneously, shape our systems for the future,” said Turner. “I remain committed to being a voice for the dedicated men and women who work at Wright-Patt and I applaud the outstanding work they perform on a daily basis,” concluded Turner. “The work being done at Wright-Patt Air Force Base is more important now than ever,” said Rep. Stewart. “The world is becoming a more dangerous place, and the intelligence provided to our military is America’s first line of defense from foreign threats. It was a pleasure to see this all-important work firsthand, meet the servicemen and women defending our country, and learn more about the scope of their operations. I look forward to continuing my work with Congressman Turner to ensure Wright-Patt Air Force Base – and similar bases throughout the country – have all the means necessary to defend our homeland,” concluded Stewart. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:17:01Z |

Anthony Brown (MD-4). This bipartisan legislation amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to allow eligible federal borrowers to refinance their federal loans when interest rates are reduced. Post-introduction, Rep. Turner and Rep. Brown made the following statements: “All federal student loan borrowers should be able to take advantage of the record-low interest rates set for this academic year. This legislation would reform our government’s student loan framework by allowing borrowers to refinance their loans to a given year’s interest rates while keeping their loans public,” said Rep Turner. “By keeping loans within the federal system, borrowers have access to the advantages of the public loans, such as the Public Student Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program and pandemic-related loan holidays. With the student debt crisis worsening, I am proud to offer a reliable option for borrowers to reduce their debt.” “We need to be doing everything we can to alleviate the incredible burden of student loan debt in our country. Allowing borrowers to refinance their loans whenever interest rates are reduced isn’t just common sense but will give Americans more flexibility with their personal finances, particularly when money is tight,” said Rep. Brown. “As we work toward economic recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic helping working families make ends meet must be our priority.” Specifically, this legislation: Creates a pathway for federal student loan borrowers to refinance their loans at a lower interest rate and reduce their debt, allowing graduates to free up income to stimulate the economy. Provides flexibility for borrowers to refinance loans when treasury-issued interest rates are low. Allows the ability to refinance loans for any degree, including graduate and professional programs to reduce the debt of even more graduates Ensures that refinancing loans does not reset a borrower’s monthly… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:17:01Z |

Biden has left with zero contingency plans. There is no peace, even in the areas in which the Taliban had controlled previously.” “Now Afghanistan is falling to the Taliban, we’re not going to have a place from which to operate, either in counterterrorism against ISIS or Al Qaeda or in support of the Afghan national military.

Warren Davidson (R-OH) introduced a bill to allow more investors to participate in private equity markets. Due to antiquated securities laws, it is quite difficult and incredibly rare for non-accredited investors to participate in private equity offerings. Consequently, non-accredited investors are routinely forbidden from investing in companies during their growth years. This exclusion was arguably put in place to protect novice investors. However, to become an accredited investor, individuals must have an annual income exceeding $200,000 for at least two years, a net worth of $1 million, or be a registered stockbroker or investment advisor. This limiting definition of a “sophisticated” investor shuts most Americans out of the market and perpetuates unequal access to financial markets. Rep. Davidson’s bill eliminates these burdensome barriers to entry and ensures that working class Americans are not shut out of financial opportunities. Rep. Davidson’s bill would allow Americans to sign a waiver acknowledging the risk associated with investing in the private market, democratizing markets, and allowing more investors to decide when and how to participate in a wider array of investment opportunities. Upon introduction, Rep. Davidson remarked: “Over the past year we’ve seen an explosion in retail investing. Americans want to participate in financial markets, but outdated and arbitrary rules that amount to a wealth test—like the accredited investor rule—prevent them from participating in private equity markets. The government shouldn’t tell Americans when and how to invest their money. In the name of protecting working class Americans, we’re shutting them out of the market entirely.

Turner | T000463 | turner.house.gov | turner | https://turner.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | Today, Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) made the following statement in response to the discovery of a second new ICBM base in China: “The nuclear build-up underway by the Chinese Communist Party is unprecedented and makes clear they are deploying nuclear weapons to threaten the United States and our allies. We must remember that this is the same nation that covered up the origins of the Coronavirus and just last month, threatened Japan with a nuclear first strike,” said Turner. “The CCP is not a responsible actor and cannot be trusted. The rapid expansion of its nuclear arsenal and refusal to negotiate in good faith on arms control is a blatant violation of Article VI of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. It should be a cause for concern and condemned by all responsible nations.” Congressman Turner currently serves as the Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Strategic Forces, where he has jurisdiction over the nation's nuclear arsenal and missile defense systems. He also serves as a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:03:51Z |

Jim Cooper (D-TN) today. This legislation requires Ligado, a private American satellite communications company, to cover the cost for correcting any interference their operations create for the public or private sector. The House RETAIN Act mirrors Senator Jim Inhofe’s bill which also works to make our GPS and satellite communication services more reliable and secure. Additional original co-sponsors include, Rep. Nydia Velázquez (D-NY), Rep. Glenn “GT” Thompson (R-PA), Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA), Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA), Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA), and Rep. Frank Lucas (R-OK). Post-introduction, the cosponsors of the legislation made the following statements: “The FCC’s April 2020 Ligado order represented a challenge to our national security with the harm it posed to equipment critical to the Department of Defense, not to mention to the GPS equipment spanning multiple industries, because of one company’s actions. The RETAIN Act sets a precedent that this cannot occur without assigning financial responsibility for the harmful impacts of what the order authorizes,”said Rep Turner.“Both our nation’s military and ordinary Americans rely on satellites and GPS, whether it be in ensuring our national security or to tasks inherent to our daily lives like driving to work, using the ATM, or calling a friend. It is because of this utmost importance that I am supporting the RETAIN Act.” “Our GPS and satellite communications are critical to the American economy and our national security. The bipartisan RETAIN Act protects these networks by ensuring that any costs caused by private sector interference to their frequencies is covered by the private sector, not the U.S. taxpayer,” said Rep.

Dan Kildee (D-MI) and Tim Ryan (D-OH) acted in a bipartisan manner to help restore the lost pensions of the Delphi Salaried Retirees. The Members requested a status update on a Trump-era Delphi report in a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Labor Secretary Marty Walsh, and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo. Last October, Turner and Ryan successfully urged President Trump to sign a presidential memorandum that directed his cabinet to come back within 90 days with recommendations that provide a remedy to restore the Delphi Salaried Retirees’ pensions. “As of June 10, 2021, we have not seen this report or have been made aware of its completion. We understand this review was due on January 20, 2021 – before you assumed your current roles. We believe it is important that Congress still have the opportunity to review the recommendations provided by your agencies,” wrote the members. “Please know that we stand ready to work with you to ensure the Delphi retirees, and all American workers can be secure in the benefits they have earned,” they continued. “The Delphi Salaried Retirees have been working towards the restoration of our pension plan for 12 years. We are grateful for the effort and support these representatives and this letter offers in our quest. Responding to a Presidential Directive should not be taken lightly. It is our hope that the recipients of this letter will do the right thing and respect those who played by the rules only to meet with a horrible injustice,” said Bruce Gump, Chairman of Delphi Salaried Retirees Association.

This bipartisan bill restores an expired tax incentive allowing developers to fully deduct the costs of environmental remediation of brownfields in the year the costs were incurred. This legislation was first introduced in 2019. “The restoration of Brownfields has been a critical issue that I have proudly worked on since I was Mayor of Dayton and supports job creation nationwide. As Mayor, I redeveloped brownfields to invest in our community and stimulate economic growth, including the construction of the Day Air Ballpark, home of the Dayton Dragons,” said Rep. Turner. “Providing brownfield tax incentives to new developers is vital for communities nationwide, and I thank Congresswoman Sherrill for joining me in this meaningful effort. I urge my fellow House colleagues to support this bipartisan legislation that will help our communities grow after a devastating year by providing a pathway for new economic development.” “Throughout New Jersey, we’re leaving a huge amount of opportunity on the table by failing to remediate the brownfields in our communities. Cleaning up and redeveloping these sites creates jobs, beautifies neighborhoods, provides flood mitigation, and can bring huge economic growth to towns,” said Rep. Sherrill. “The legislation I am introducing today with Rep. Turner would restore a tax incentive to encourage local revitalization projects that will help transform these brownfields from potentially harmful wastelands into vital and vibrant parts of the surrounding communities.

RPM services are proven to be effective with helping individuals manage their health, such as COPD patients using a real-time, at-home pulse oximeter. Extension of the RPM program has the potential to reduce long-term health care costs, improve health outcomes, and increase options for patients. RPM services provide a beneficial method for observing and treating patients from the comforts of their own homes. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, RPM has shown to be an effective alternative to in-person clinical observation for acute and chronic medical conditions. Increased access to these services has the ability to reduce hospital readmission rates. This bill lays the groundwork for future expansion of RPM services. “A silver lining of the pandemic was the sense of urgency from the government to set aside rigid, ambiguous restrictions and to adopt common sense changes that increased patient flexibility and ultimately led to better health outcomes,” said Congressman Balderson. “One of the most notable advancements was the widespread embrace of health technology, such as remote patient monitoring. Now an integral part of health care delivery, our legislation provides an opportunity to make a clear-eyed assessment of the lessons learned and to build from it to enhance access. RPM is especially valuable for seniors and patients requiring distant travel from rural communities.” “This legislation stems from an outpouring of positive feedback about the benefits realized from these services during the pandemic from a long list of patients and providers in my district.” added Balderson. "Telehealth services have been instrumental during the pandemic," said Congresswoman Katie Porter. "Specifically, remote… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:03:51Z |

However, the pandemic exposed how American taxpayers might have unknowingly funded dangerous research that put global health at risk. My bill, the EMPOWER NIH Act, would create necessary oversight, transparency, and accountability measures to the federal grant process,” said Turner. “By requiring surprise inspections and full reporting on use of funds, the EMPOWER NIH Act would apply President Reagan’s ‘trust but verify’ philosophy to research at home and abroad. We have a responsibility to protect our researchers, our institutions, our citizens, and our nation, and this legislation takes an important step to safeguard our future.” The introduction of this legislation follows confirmation that the NIH, through the NIAID, awarded grants from 2014 to 2019 to the nonprofit EcoHealth, which gave those research dollars to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). It is believed that the WIV performed Gain-of-Function experimentation on coronaviruses, a risky area of research that was banned by NIH at the time. According to the NIH, the NIH spends $41.7 billion on research through almost 50,000 grants annually. Currently, inspections to research facilities are limited to only grantees and upon the filing of a formal complaint.

Awards range up to $600,000 and will support the acquisition of equipment at 32 HBCUs, 37 MSIs and one tribal college. “HBCUs produce 37 percent of African American officers commissioned through ROTC, and 25 percent of the African Americans with STEM degrees. Supporting funding for and fostering research at these institutions is critical to protecting our country and advancing scientific discovery,” said Congressman Brown. “We have more work to do to ensure a diverse and inclusive defense industrial base and I look forward to advancing more legislation to ensure that promise.” “Historically Black Colleges and Universities are among some of our nation’s top research institutions and play a crucial role in expanding research opportunities to minority communities. As a long-time advocate for strengthening federal research partnerships with HBCUs, I’m grateful that the Department of Defense has fulfilled our request to fund the DOD’s HBCU/MSI Research and Education Program. This $30 million award will help fund the purchase of research equipment at over 30 HBCU’s across the country, including Central State University in Ohio’s 10th Congressional District,” said Congressman Turner. “As a Vice-Chair of the House HBCU Caucus, I will continue working so that HBCUs have the resources they need to serve our communities and our nation.” Reps.

Warren Davidson (R-OH) introduced his latest legislation to protect the rights of Americans from government overreach in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The Vaccine Passport Prevention Act would, with limited exceptions, prevent federal agencies, state and local governments, and businesses from requiring Americans to present their vaccine card as a condition of accessing goods, services, or employment. By accepting federal coronavirus relief funds, state, tribal, and local governments would be banned from issuing vaccine passports or requiring proof of vaccination from those seeking services or employment. If enacted, the bill would allow individuals to sue private companies for discrimination if a business attempts to require proof of vaccination as a condition of engaging in lawful commerce. The bill allows for exemptions for medical facilities, enlisted servicemembers, and schools. However, educational institutions must provide exemptions for religious, conscience, and medical reasons – including recognition of naturally developed immunity. “The point of this bill is simple.” said Davidson after the bill’s introduction, “I’m committed to defending freedom. Freedom surrendered is rarely reclaimed, so now is the time to act. Americans have a right to keep their medical decisions private. Neither businesses, nor governments should compel access to confidential information as a condition of restoring our way of life. Discrimination that separates healthy people from other healthy people based on vaccine status is unconstitutional. Throughout the pandemic, we’ve seen states deny Americans a republican form of government in the name of public health. Now that the pandemic is over, they are trying to maintain power. Banning vaccine passports has become sadly necessary to thwart these naked power grabs seeking to enable even more control for big government and big business over the lives of individual Americans.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:57:00Z |

"For too long, politicians and activists have peddled the notion that cleaner air, water, and soil can only be achieved at the peril of America’s economic success and energy security," said Congressman Balderson. “The American people demand common sense solutions that embrace free market innovation and with a genuine concern for conservation. This is a stark contrast to the mere window dressing we are now witnessing through the heavy-handed, punitive, and costly actions taken by the Biden Administration. “America and our global allies depend upon a steady energy supply, yet we’re witnessing more attacks from more directions on this independence than ever before. Axing thousands of American jobs with the stroke of a pen is not the answer. Instead of unilaterally removing sanctions on a known adversary’s energy infrastructure – such as the Russian Nord Stream 2 pipeline – I believe we should be enhancing our nation’s energy independence by applying known capabilities with innovative technologies and sources. Together, we will stand up for pragmatic climate solutions that embrace—not stifle—American ingenuity and fight back against job-killing, costly, window dressing from the left." “Today, I am proud to launch the Conservative Climate Caucus with many of my Republican colleagues," said Congressman John Curtis (R-UT). "Republicans have conservative solutions to lower emissions while enhancing economic prosperity. We do care about climate – and we already have solutions and plan to find more.

Brown (D-MD), Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA), Elaine Luria (D-VA), Trent Kelly (R-MS), Veronica Escobar (D-TX), Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), Sylvia Garcia (D-TX), and Richard Hudson (R-NC), introduced a bipartisan, bicameral bill to move the decision to prosecute serious crimes in the military from the chain of command. The Vanessa Guillén Military Justice Improvement and Increasing Prevention Act is the House companion to S.1520, sponsored by Senators Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Joni Ernst (R-IA), and Charles Grassley (R-IA), and which has 66 co-sponsors. The Members are calling on Congress to take up the legislation expeditiously as a standalone measure. Under current law, commanders who do not have legal training make the decision on whether to prosecute a servicemember for major crimes, such as murder and rape, under the military justice system. The Vanessa Guillén Military Justice Improvement and Increasing Prevention Act would transfer this responsibility to military attorneys with significant trial experience, offering victims and their loved ones the confidence that a professional military prosecutor who is independent—outside of the chain of command of the victim and the alleged perpetrator—is making crucial decisions on whether to pursue trial. Commanders would retain discretion to prosecute servicemembers for military-specific offenses, such as desertion, and for crimes with maximum punishment of less than one year of confinement. The legislation also includes provisions to improve training on prevention of sexual assault, require notice to Congress if the Defense Department changes policies related to sexual assault prevention and response, increase training for military prosecutors, and improve the physical security o… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:57:00Z |

Rep.

As we see a welcome reduction in the number of troops in the Middle East, Congress should rescind the 2002 authorization, which has allowed multiple administrations to maintain a U.S. military presence that no longer bears any resemblance to the language of the authorization. The mission has changed, and so should the authorization. The current 2002 AUMF serves as a shackle to prevent those updates to align authorizations with missions and actions. That should alarm everyone – and motivate Congress to finally do its duty. “As Donald Trump wisely said, ‘Great nations don’t fight endless wars.’ I’m hopeful that the Senate will act quickly and send this important legislation to the President’s desk.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:57:00Z |

Turner also stated that defunding the SLCM-N is equivalent to a “unilateral disarmament recommendation” that undermines President Biden and America right before Biden’s meeting with Vladimir Putin.

Now Secretary of Defense Austin Chairman, Chairman Milley, and Admiral Richard and I’m going to guess which a question here, Admiral Gilday, where you consulted on the defunding of this missile? Gilday: No sir. Turner: So Secretary Austin has that experience, Chairman Milley, Admiral Richard, and Admiral Gilday have that experience and you do not. Congress and two administrations included this budget funded it. Turner: “Do you have the expertise to conduct the assessment and analysis of the alternatives of the Sea Base launch cruise missile?

While Congressman Turner recognized the budget’s increased funding for research that could support the work at Wright-Patt, he emphasized that Biden’s top-line budget does not keep up with inflation and results in cuts, which creates concern for future development and capabilities of our Armed Services. “We have taken this tour of Wright-Patterson Air force Base in the context of President Biden’s defense budget, which includes no increase for defense spending. This is a grave concern, not only to our readiness, but for our modernization programs that will help us reach the threats that we see in the future,” said Congressman Turner. “In order to invest in the Department of Defense, you have to look to readiness. This means looking at who is currently deployed and ensuring those operations have what they need. Then you have to look to the future, how are we modernizing what we have. In doing that, we have to assess what our adversaries are doing. That is why Wright Patterson Air Force Base is critical.

Turner | T000463 | turner.house.gov | turner | https://turner.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | “President Biden’s defense budget was way late and billions of dollars short. Military leaders repeatedly warned that the U.S. cannot defend against the growing aggression of adversaries like China without adequate defense funding, yet President Biden chose to short-change our Armed Forces. Meanwhile, his budget ramps up domestic spending on liberal priorities,” said Turner. “President Biden’s budget would further cement America’s dangerous path backward — to the Obama-Biden failed foreign policy that embraces our adversaries and weakens the U.S. and our allies.” Congressman Turner currently serves as the Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Strategic Forces, where he has jurisdiction over the nation's nuclear arsenal, the Department of Defense's intelligence programs, and also over missile defense systems. He also serves as a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Turner led calls to fund nuclear modernization and was a proponent of a 3-5% increase in the defense budget adjusted for inflation. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:49:40Z |

These students have received appointment and will soon leave the district to begin their service. The students are David Hill attending the US Naval Academy (Beavercreek, OH), Daniel Park attending the US Military Academy (Centerville, OH), Aiden Plate attending the US Air Force Academy (Centerville, OH), James Sharpe attending West Point (Kettering, OH), Brian Blosser attending the US Air Force Academy (New Lebanon, OH), and Levi Morgan attending West Point (Waynesville, OH). Congressman Turner stated: “The students are here today because they have exhibited exceptional abilities and have bravely raised their hand as a volunteer to serve and protect our country. It is an honored tradition that some of the greatest citizens of this country have taken part in. President, Member of Congress, General, Admiral, professional athlete and business leader are some of the titles that Service Academy graduates have earned,” said Turner. “As we congratulate these students, I would also like to take a moment to recognize the parents and family members who have played an integral role in shaping, nurturing and parenting these future leaders.” Congressman Turner makes service academy recommendations each year, however, last year’s announcement press conference was cancelled due to COVID. To be considered for an appointment to a service academy, an applicant must meet the eligibility requirements established by law and be nominated from an authorized person including a Member of the United States Senate or the House of Representatives.

This legislation led by Representatives Alma S. Adams, Ph.D., French Hill and Senators Chris Coons and Tim Scott, would provide $5 billion for HBCUs over 10 years to utilize public and private investments to update schools’ campuses including facilities and research; preserve historic buildings; increase access to campus-wide high-speed broadband to support online learning; improve and support community-based partnerships that provide academic, health and social services; and secure equipment and technology for high quality instruction and research. “HBCUs are vital contributors to both the education and equality of our communities, yet the vast majority of these institutions are in desperate need of infrastructure repairs and technology upgrades. Wilberforce University and Central State University are important to both our history and the future investment of our community. That is why as Vice-Chair of the House HBCU Caucus, I join my colleagues as a cosponsor of the IGNITE HBCU Excellence Act," said Turner. "This bipartisan legislation would make a historic investment in HBCUs to equip them with the resources to strengthen technological advancement and research, improve community partnerships, and make necessary upgrades to campus facilities.” According to a report by the UNCF, each year, HBCUs contribute nearly $15 billion to their communities, produce 134,000 jobs, and create $46.8 billion in alumni career earnings that can be directly attributed to their degrees. Specifically, a report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that 70 of 79 HBCUs surveyed reported that 46 percent of their building space needed repair or complete replacement.

And so the art students, in addition to just having their innate skill actually get to mature...by having the Dayton art museum involved, they get a recognition of that work." Following the 2020 competition's cancellation due to COVID, The Dayton Art Institute once again sponsored this annual competition. The winners will receive scholarship funds, a trip to Washington D.C. and will have their art displayed in the U.S. Capitol, where hundreds of individuals will view their work each day.

Turner | T000463 | turner.house.gov | turner | https://turner.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, a leader in the fight to combat sexual assault in the military, Senior House Armed Services Member and Co-Chair of the House Military Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Caucus, Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10), announced his endorsement of the Military Justice Improvement and Increasing Prevention Act of 2021 (MJIIPA). Turner will serve as the original House Republican cosponsor of this bipartisan legislation. Introduced in the Senate by Senator Gillibrand (D-NY) and Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA), MJIIPA would professionalize the military justice process by moving the decision to prosecute felony-level, complex criminal cases, including sexual assault, from the unit commander to a high-ranking and experienced military lawyer. The MJIIPA also increases prevention efforts through three approaches: enhanced training for key leadership billets, improved physical security of military installations, and increased training of investigative agencies and military prosecutors to address complex crimes like sexual assault and domestic violence. “When we ask our men and women in uniform to put their lives on the line for our country, they shouldn’t also fear becoming a victim of sexual assault. We owe them more,” said Turner. “After working across the aisle for more than a decade on substantive reform to combat sexual violence in the military, I’m grateful for Senator Kirsten Gillibrand’s diligent work on the MJIIPA. What Senator Gillibrand has accomplished is unusual in Washington—true bipartisan, bicameral legislation. Today, I announce my support for this landmark legislation.” “Military leaders past and present, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley, Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, and Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral (ret.) Mike Mullen, have recently expressed that more progress must be made to combat these violent offenses and that moving the prosecution authority for these crimes outside of the chain of command should be on the table… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:49:40Z |

This position is currently held by Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has served in his position since 1984. In the wake of massive missteps by Dr. Fauci and his subordinates in the handling of the coronavirus pandemic, this bill addresses an oft-overlooked issue: the lack of accountability for unelected bureaucrats. Under Dr. Fauci’s guidance, Americans have lost confidence in the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control, leading to confusion and serious government overreach that has threatened Americans’ livelihoods and freedoms. Despite successful treatment therapies, a historic vaccination development, and decreasing cases, Dr. Fauci has continued to advise healthy, low-risk Americans to continue to act as if the pandemic were out of control—after overseeing nearly a year of draconian public health policies that have decimated the U.S. economy. After introducing the bill, Rep. Davidson made the following statement: "Dr. Fauci represents everything that President Eisenhower warned us about in his farewell address: the scientific-technical elite steering the country toward their own ends. Americans have had decades of Dr. Fauci’s leadership, and he publicly failed to respond appropriately to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is time for him to step aside so that new leadership can ‘follow the science’ and start reopening America.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:49:40Z |

Turner | T000463 | turner.house.gov | turner | https://turner.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | Following President Biden deleting God from his National Prayer Day proclamation, Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) criticized the order as offensive: “President Biden has embraced the far-left’s cancel culture that attempts to rewrite American history, tear down our institutions, and now, cancel God. I’ve successfully fought to protect religious liberties by ensuring flags can fly over the U.S. Capitol that include an inscription honoring God, and it’s clear the fight to defend faith and religious expression continues,” said Turner. “It’s disheartening to see this decision from a President who once claimed that faith is the ‘bedrock foundation’ of his life. Our national motto is ‘In God We Trust’. May God continue to bless America.” Rep. Turner successfully led the push to change a rule by the Architect of the Capitol that censored religious expressions on flag certificates after a 17-year-old Eagle Scout in his district, Andrew Larcohelle, received a certificate that censored the word "God" from his requested inscription. Turner’s legislation, the Andrew Larcohelle God, Family, and Country Act of 2007 successfully changed this policy to permit the acknowledgement of God on flag certificates. President Biden’s decision to omit God in Thursday’s proclamation diverged from past actions by his recent predecessors in both parties, President Donald Trump, President Barrack Obama and President George W. Bush. It also differs from Biden’s previous statement as a presidential candidate that “faith is the “bedrock foundation of my life.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:49:40Z |

Their bipartisan legislation would amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to make VA-designated primary family caregivers eligible for the public service loan forgiveness (PSLF) program. "Over 5 million individuals selflessly serve as caregivers to our nation's veterans, yet, unlike other public servants, these heroes are currently not eligible for student loan forgiveness. The Military and Veteran Caregiver Student Loan Relief Act would allow these heroes to qualify for relief through the public service loan forgiveness (PSLF) program,” said Turner. “By easing their financial burden, my bipartisan legislation would finally thank Hidden Heroes for their dedicated service to our veteran community." “Today, there are approximately, 5.5 million Hidden Heroes who currently serve as caregivers for wounded, ill, or injured veterans. This is noble service, and they should be treated like other public servants who qualify for the public service loan forgiveness program,” Connolly said. “Crippling student loan debt has a significant impact on our nation’s military and veteran caregivers, who often cut back or stop working completely to provide care for their wounded warriors,” said Steve Schwab, CEO of the Elizabeth Dole Foundation. “By including military caregivers in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, our nation is finally able to thank these individuals for their service and significantly reduce the financial burden on their families. The Foundation applauds Representatives Connolly and Turner for pioneering this legislation and urge all Members of Congress to support its swift passage.” According to a study by Rand Corporation, there are an estimated 5.5 million military caregivers in the U.S. Primary family caregivers of eligible veterans are designated by and enrolled in the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Program of Comprehensive Assist… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:49:40Z |

These foreign manufacturers need to be held to higher safety and inspection standards, establishing an equal playing field for American producers. "This is about ensuring everyday products used by millions of American families are held to the same rigorous standards regardless of the country in which they are produced," said Congressman Balderson. "As witnessed in other manufacturing sectors, certain foreign producers have intentionally thwarted safety and regulatory standards to gain a competitive advantage over domestic producers, potentially jeopardizing public safety in the process." The Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety and Oversight Improvements Act of 2021 (H.R. 2559) would direct the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to reform the approval and inspection criteria for certain manufacturers from once every five years to once each year. Balderson's legislation would better equip DOT's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) regulators and provide a more limited one-year authorization for manufacturers in countries that do not have a reciprocal process for meeting important safeguards, or have a track record of violating U.S. laws and regulations. “Congressman Troy Balderson’s proposed legislation, The Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety and Oversight Improvement Act is a step forward in ensuring the safety of cylinders sold in the U.S. and putting American cylinder manufacturing on an even playing field with the world,” said Worthington Industries President and CEO Andy Rose. “We need legislation to strengthen the oversight of this area and give PHMSA the tools they need to closely scrutinize product safety.

They’ve created pieces that speak to our shared human experience as well as inviting us to pause and appreciate the beauty that they painstakingly captured with their pencils, paint, and cameras.” Troy-Hayner Cultural Center Exhibit Coordinator Leona Sargent spoke a bit about how this year’s art competition took on a different meaning during a pandemic: “In general, art is a great way to deal with the anxiety around you, either by making art or by looking at art. As far as its importance during the pandemic, myself as an artist, I was all of a sudden making a piece of art every week while we were at home, something I don’t normally do. With high schoolers who are all ocf a sudden missing out on things that would normally be part of their junior and senior year, they can use the art to express the frustration and things that they are feeling.

This bipartisan bill was introduced by Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D-CO). Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) signed on as an original cosponsor along with Reps. Nydia Velazquez (D-MA), and Steve Stivers (R-OH). Under the SAFE Banking Act, businesses legally operating under state laws cannot be denied access to the banking system. In recent years, disfavored industries including firearms manufacturers, licensed medical cannabis dispensaries, and certain nonprofit institutions have been concerned about inconsistent access to the banking system. The Obama-era Operation Chokepoint underscored this concern when it bypassed due process to investigate financial institutions’ relationships with firearm companies, pawn shops, and other businesses disfavored or considered to be high-risk. This is the second time that the measure has passed the House of Representatives as a stand-alone bill. The bill first passed in the 116th Congress in September 2019. After passage, Rep. Davidson made the following statement: “Unfortunately, the history of our financial system is littered with instances of bankers, regulators, and the public attempting to deny disfavored groups or disfavored industries access to the banking system. By guaranteeing equal protection, this bill protects the rights of all law-abiding Americans and ensures that the banking system can no longer be weaponized to prevent “those people”—whomever “they” are—from access to our banking system. No government should be able to use the financial system as a back door to block otherwise lawful conduct. Thank you to Reps. Perlmutter, Velazquez, and Stivers for their work on this important bipartisan measure.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:42:19Z |

As part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (H.R. 133), Congress passed the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act in December 2020. This legislation added additional funds to the SBA Paycheck Protection Program, while also granting qualifying small businesses the opportunity to apply for a second draw of PPP funds. However, through the implementation phase of this law, the SBA determined a qualifying business must have experienced at least a 25 percent reduction of gross receipts between corresponding calendar quarters in 2020 when compared to 2019. "It is unfortunate that the SBA is unable to offer flexibility for American small business owners," said Representative Balderson. "Our bill sets the record straight and levels the playing field for small businesses to apply for the second draw of PPP funds.” "Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, employing millions of Americans and keeping communities across the nation flourishing and vibrant," said Representative Craig. "But over the past year, these businesses have faced hurdle after hurdle as they’ve weathered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. While we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, the economic challenges of this crisis are far from over – especially for our Main Street businesses. Today, I’m proud to join Rep. Balderson in introducing bipartisan legislation to ensure that small businesses in Minnesota and across the country have access to the resources necessary to keep their doors open as we continue to emerge from this difficult chapter."

At the same time, reports from earlier this week stated that Iran is enriching uranium to 60%, a step many say puts them on a stronger path towards developing a nuclear weapon. Rep. Turner went on Fox Business Mornings with Maria to discuss how these threats require President Biden to build up our military and stand strong with our allies, not turn his back on them.

Recent reports indicate that members of Antifa traveled to Minnesota to participate in ongoing protests that have resulted in property damage to businesses and multiple injuries. In the hearing today, Rep. Turner pressed Director Wray on his characterization of Antifa, after Wray’s previous comments characterized Antifa as not an organization, but rather as self-radicalized, “lone actors.” “Director Wray, you have previously testified, have you not, that Antifa is not a group or organization, is that your testimony today?” Wray responded, “We consider Antifa to be more of a movement,” and claimed most activity is conducted through. "local and regional nodes," rather than by one organization. He also could not confirm orchestrated financial backing that would support training and deployment of Antifa followers across the country. In response to Wray’s non-answers, Rep. Mike Turner stated: “If you travel across the country to perpetrate violence you become local where you perpetrate the violence?” “People have seen with their own eyes the reports across the country and your testimony does not comport to what the American public are actually seeing, and it weakens their confidence.” Following the hearing, Turner called on the FBI to further investigate Antifa and report to Congress on their source of funding, training, and activities. “FBI Director Wray’s testimony is disturbing and contradicts what the American people have seen with their own eyes—a violent and dangerous organization.

Balderson’s bipartisan legislation, with Congresswoman Robin Kelly (D-IL), would direct the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to report to Congress on the number and types of scams targeting seniors during the COVID-19 pandemic and make recommendations for how to prevent scams targeting seniors during the current pandemic as well as future emergencies. “Throughout the Coronavirus pandemic, uncertainty has led to many Americans falling victim to scam callers – especially vulnerable populations like seniors,” said Representative Balderson. “We have a responsibility to stop bad actors, like these scam artists, in their tracks. That starts by empowering the American people with information to better protect themselves and their loved ones from falling victim.” “Seniors have had so much to worry about during the COVID-19 pandemic – from staying healthy, to worrying about friends and family, to not being able to see their loved ones,” said Representative Kelly. “As seniors are navigating how to get vaccines and safely get access to services, we need to stop the scammers trying to steal their personal information and money. This bill will help educate seniors about ongoing scams and empower them with resources to report attempted scams to law enforcement.” The Protecting Seniors From Emergency Scams Act also directs FTC to update its web portal with information about scams targeting seniors. This portal would allow consumers to search for scams by region, and access contact information for law enforcement and adult protective service agencies. It also directs FTC to work with media outlets and law enforcement agencies to distribute this information to seniors and their caregivers. FTC currently partners with several groups to share information about scams targeting seniors, including AARP, the Better Business Bureau, state Attorneys General offices, the U.S.… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:42:19Z |

Turner | T000463 | turner.house.gov | turner | https://turner.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) will introduce legislation that would require significant infrastructure bills and joint resolutions to provide at least 50% of funding to programs, initiatives, or projects that directly impact construction or maintenance of highways, roads, bridges, dams, passenger and freight railways, airports, waterways and ports, public schools, and their safety. Any legislation providing these funds in excess of $100 billion would have to comply with this rule if adopted. The introduction of the No IRRESPONSIBLE Spending Act follows the announcement of President Biden’s $2.3 trillion infrastructure package that allocates less than 6% of its funding to roads and bridges. “President Biden and Speaker Pelosi’s $2.3 trillion ‘infrastructure’ package allocates less than 6% of its funding to roads and bridges but commits $600 billion to the Green New Deal. As Americans await needed investments in their communities, using the guise of infrastructure to advance a partisan agenda is disingenuous and wrong,” said Turner. “That is why today I am introducing The No IRRESPONSIBLE Spending Act. This legislation would stop ridiculous attempts to redefine infrastructure by responsibly prioritizing investments into our bridges, highways, waterways, and schools. President Biden and Speaker Pelosi should make true on their promise of bipartisanship and get serious about legislation that will tangibly address the infrastructure needs of our communities.” President Biden’s plan has sparked a debate on what constitutes infrastructure. Democrats like Senator Kirsten Gillibrand have publicly expressed that, “Paid leave is infrastructure. Childcare is infrastructure. Caregiving is infrastructure.” Currently, the $2.3 trillion “American Jobs Plan” includes priorities deemed by many as unrelated to infrastructure, including $10 billion for a new Civilian Climate Corpsthat will “advance environmental justice,” $213 billion for housing and to increase federal control of local housing markets, … | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:42:19Z |

Davidson embarked on this fact-finding mission after months of unsatisfactory progress from the NPRC in clearing a nationwide backlog of veterans’ records requests. The visit coincides with today’s release of a bipartisan letter, signed by 185 representatives, regarding NPRC that was penned by Reps. Davidson, Deborah Ross (NC-D), and House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs Ranking Member Mike Bost (R-IL). At his NPRC meeting on Monday, Rep. Davidson learned that despite unprecedented cooperation between the Department of Veterans Affairs and the National Archives and Records Administration to vaccinate NPRC employees—the Office of Personnel Management and the National Archives are limiting the facility to 25% capacity. At this rate, the backlog will not be eliminated until the end of FY 2022. Records requests that took only 10 days to fulfill before the pandemic, will take years without further action. “I’m disappointed that there is no plan to staff the center to capacity, despite prioritizing employees for vaccines. Congress sent millions of taxpayer dollars to the National Archives to address this problem. 2022 is too long to wait for America to keep its promises to our veterans,” Davidson said after meeting with the NPRC. “As a former Ranger, I know challenges are real, but I also know leaders find a way to accomplish their missions in the face of challenges. Congress has provided the resources and NPRC’s timeline is simply unacceptable.” The bipartisan letter from Reps. Davison, Ross, and Bost to the Biden Administration and the National Archives, calls attention to the significant backlog of veteran records requests that has mushroomed during the COVID 19 pandemic.

Several bipartisan COVID relief bills supported by Congressman Turner strengthened the Dayton region and the state of Ohio. The CARES Act and subsequent coronavirus relief aid allocated $177 million to Ohio townships statewide. Now, access to funds for Ohio townships is in jeopardy due to unclear language in the American Rescue Plan. After Ohio township officials expressed their concerns to Rep. Turner, Congressman Mike Turner joined Senator Rob Portman and Ohio congressional members in advocating with the U.S. Treasury Department to change this. In a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, they stated in part: “We write to seek urgent clarification on funding eligibility for townships in the State of Ohio. It has come to our attention that language included in the American Rescue Plan Act (P.L. 117-2) brings into question whether Ohio townships are eligible for the state and local funding authorized in the bill.” Following the virtual meeting, Congressman Turner released the following statement: “President Biden’s stimulus package could exclude Ohio townships due to a provision that does not expressly include townships as eligible for relief funds. This is unfair and unacceptable, as more than 1,300 Ohio townships provide essential support for Ohioans, including police and fire protection, road maintenance, and emergency medical services,” said Turner. “I joined a bipartisan group of Ohio lawmakers in contacting Secretary of Treasury Janet Yellen to emphasize how critical it is that our townships don’t get left behind due to an interpretation of a poorly crafted statute.

Since January of 2020, Five Rivers Health Centers has received over $10.2 million in federal funding. This grant was made possible in part by Congressman Mike Turner’s support of the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA), which appropriated funding to the Department of Health and Human Services. In helping announce the grant, Congressman Turner stated: “After supporting COVID legislation that appropriated increased funding to the Health and Human Services Department, I’m grateful that HHS has announced a nearly $2 million grant to Five Rivers Health Centers. This announcement brings Five Rivers’ total 2020-2021 federal funding to over $10 million,” said Turner. “With this grant, Five Rivers Health Center can invest in needed upgrades and address the evolving medical needs of our community during the pandemic. I will continue to support Five Rivers in their mission to provide quality care to thousands across the Dayton region.” Five Rivers Health Centers CEO Gina McFarlane-El also commented on the grant: “Five Rivers Health Centers is thrilled to receive this nearly $2 million grant, which will support needed improvements and additional healthcare services for our patients,” said McFarlane-El. “We are grateful for Congressman Turner’s long-standing support as we continue serving low-income families in the Dayton area with the best care possible.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:33:37Z |

Turner | T000463 | turner.house.gov | turner | https://turner.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON DC—Today, Congressmen John Garamendi (D-CA) and Mike Turner (R-OH) reintroduced the “Military Retiree Survivor Comfort Act”. This bipartisan legislation would prohibit the Defense Finance and Accounting Services (DFAS) from clawing back the final retirement benefit paid to a veteran the month that they pass. Congressman Turner, a senior Republican member of the House Armed Services Committee, stated: “Under the Department of Defense’s current policy, the final month’s retirement benefit of a deceased veteran may be refunded if the family fails to immediately notify the DoD of their loved one’s passing. Military families in grieving should not be punished under heartless and unnecessary penalties,” said Turner. “Congressman Garamendi and I introduced The Military Retiree Survivor Comfort Act to fix this misguided policy. Military families deserve our respect, and our bipartisan bill will help these families avoid undue hardship during what is already a difficult time.” The Department of Defense policy currently dictates that the final month’s retirement benefit of a military member can be clawed back on a prorated basis if the family of the deceased fails to notify the Department of Defense of the veteran’s death. Military families with joint bank accounts, who often have retirement benefits deposited electronically, are often unaware that the DoD’s DFAS can claw back overpayments without their consent. This results in joint bank accounts being drained of funds and subject to overdraft fees, all while the family is still grieving from their loved one’s death. Congressmen Garamendi (D-CA) is Chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness, which oversees issues pertaining to the U.S. military and service members. Rep. Turner cosponsored this legislation in 2019. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:33:37Z |

An opportunity to recognize the artistic talent of high school students from my Congressional District, the winning piece of artwork will be displayed for one year in the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. The runner-up, third place, and People’s Choice award-winning artwork will be displayed in my district office in Worthington. Last year's first place winner, Emma Moran, from Fort Hayes Metropolitan Education Center, was selected among numerous submissions from Central Ohio high school students. Since that time, Moran’s piece, "A Drop of Something" has been on exhibit in the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington D.C. and will remain so until this year's winner is chosen. I'm pleased to once again host this competition which highlights the incredible artistic talents of students from across Ohio's 12th Congressional District, and I'm proud that visitors to Washington D.C. will also have the opportunity to admire the work of one of our very own students. Instead of delivering artwork in-person to my office in Worthington, as we have done for previous competitions, students are asked to submit a photo of their artwork as either PNG, JPEG, or a PDF file. Participants will have until April 26 to enter the competition. Artwork must be two-dimensional. Each framed artwork can be no larger than 26 inches high, 26 inches wide, and 4 inches deep. If the artwork is selected as the winning piece, it must be framed before arriving in Washington D.C.

Turner | T000463 | turner.house.gov | turner | https://turner.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | DAYTON, OHIO—Today Congressman Mike Turner hosted a socially distanced roundtable with local elected officials, law enforcement, health care leaders, and opioid addiction experts to discuss the impact of the opioid crisis on the Dayton community, as well as his legislative action in Congress to combat this epidemic from multiple angles. Congressman Turner recently introduced two bipartisan pieces of his legislation, the Medicaid Reentry Act, which would create a new path for addiction assistance to a vulnerable Medicaid population, and The Mainstreaming Addiction Treatment Act (MAT), which would expand access to a life-saving opioid addiction treatment option. At the roundtable, Congressman Turner led the discussion by asking participants about their battle on the frontlines of the opioid epidemic. He then discussed how the bipartisan pieces of legislation he introduced would help combat this crisis. Following the conclusion of the event, Congressman Turner stated: “Too many Ohioans have seen first-hand the devastating surge of opioid overdose deaths across our state. Families are desperate for hope, and our practitioners are longing for access to life-saving addiction treatment. That is why today, I brought together leaders in the Dayton community on the frontlines of the opioid epidemic to discuss the approaches and resources that are necessary to combat this crisis,” said Turner. “During today’s discussion, I heard directly from local leaders that the bipartisan pieces of legislation I introduced, the Medicaid Reentry Act and the Mainstreaming Addiction Treatment Act, could save lives. While there is no one solution to defeating this deadly crisis, both bills will take critical steps by offering greater access to life-saving care to those struggling with opioid addiction.” Turner concluded, “I’m grateful for the daily efforts of law enforcement, health care workers, and members of the addiction community on the frontlines of this crisis, and I urge Congress to take action to help end the scourge of this epi… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:33:37Z |

Every commercial firearm transaction in the United States requires a background check. The bills make criminals out of law-abiding Americans and force all gun owners to go through government-licensed agents just to borrow a hunting rifle. The bill also creates a worrisome registry of firearm owners. This violates the privacy of Americans who wish to exercise their God-given rights. It’s an unconstitutional two-for-one attack on Americans' Second and Fourth Amendment rights. “As a veteran, I’m dedicated to making sure America keeps its promises to veterans. We serve knowing we may be called upon to sacrifice everything. The very least Congress can do is fulfill America’s end of the bargain. In the age of COVID, veterans and their families deserve this reassurance.” What is stopping the government from using this information in the future to further disarm Americans or place them under heightened scrutiny? These bills are an affront to liberty and to law abiding Americans across the country.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:33:37Z |

Turner | T000463 | turner.house.gov | turner | https://turner.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, DC -- The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced that Wright State University will receive a $400,000 grant for clinical research on neurological disorders. This grant was made possible in part by Congressman Mike Turner’s support of the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA), which appropriated funding to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) for the purposes of grant funding for universities. Specifically, NINDS allocated the grant to WSU so they could continue their research on the neurological disease ALS. “This announcement of a $400,000 grant for clinical research on neurological disorders recognizes Wright State University’s achievements as an important leader in neuroscience research. I’m grateful that the Health and Human Services Department decided to issue this grant and to have supported the funding that made this grant possible,” said Turner. “This grant will allow Wright State University to continue their important contributions to medical research, particularly into the neurological disease ALS. I will continue to support the innovation and research by our great colleges and universities in the Dayton region.” Wright State University Communications Director Seth Bauguess said of the award: "Wright State University is excited to receive this federal grant, which will fund important research into the devastating neurological disease ALS,” said Bauguess. “The grant will also support the work of undergraduate and graduate student researchers, who represent the future of the battle against crippling diseases like ALS. We are grateful for the support of Congressman Mike Turner in this effort." Wright State's externally sponsored grant and contract awards regularly approach $100 million. More than half of that funding is used to support basic and applied research projects, capitalizing on Wright State’s expertise in the areas of sensors, health care, human performance, cybersecurity, and cognitive and social sc… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:33:37Z |

The so-called “American Rescue Plan” totals $1.9 trillion dollars and features bail outs for failing state pension funds, Amtrak, and closed public schools. During the budget reconciliation process, Democrats refused to require schools that receive additional funds to return to the classroom and favored liberal urban centers over rural communities when allocating funds to municipalities. Meanwhile, only nine percent of the nearly $2 trillion bill addresses the coronavirus pandemic. In addition to these progressive priorities, the bill spends hundreds of millions on foreign food aid, environmental justice, and wasteful spending on the National Endowments for the Arts and Humanities, with limited funding going to expedite vaccinations. Ohio Representative Warren Davidson (R-OH) made the following statement after voting against the bill: ““This bill is not about providing Americans with relief from the COVID 19 pandemic. This bill is about Speaker Pelosi and President Biden paying off their supporters. Republicans have repeatedly said that COVID relief should be targeted at addressing the problems presented by the pandemic. Instead, Democrats have used this bill to target taxpayer funded bailouts to poorly run blue states and labor unions, while funding abortion on-demand. “As a veteran, I’m dedicated to making sure America keeps its promises to veterans. We serve knowing we may be called upon to sacrifice everything. The very least Congress can do is fulfill America’s end of the bargain. In the age of COVID, veterans and their families deserve this reassurance.” “The only thing that’s bipartisan about this bill is the opposition to it. Republicans and the Trump Administration offered to meet Democrats in the middle on COVID relief in 2020, and Speaker Pelosi rejected a compromise to get Americans relief sooner. Instead she prolonged Americans’ suffering so she could ram this partisan false … | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:33:37Z |
