"At no time in modern history has the outgoing Majority in Congress - with one foot out the door - rammed through an omnibus spending package during a Lame Duck session. This closing act will bring new spending totals, in just two short years of one-party Democrat control in Washington, to more than $5 trillion. "On November 8, the American people made their voices heard by voting in a new Republican Majority to the House of Representatives to curb the runaway spending that is fueling record-high prices and making our country less safe. This reckless spending is a direct affront to the will of the voters. "The 4,126-page, $1.8 trillion spending spree takes the problem of record-high inflation from bad to worse and adds hundreds of billions more to our already massive national debt. "Among the many disastrous ironies buried in this omnibus spending package is a provision barring border patrol from investing in proven methods to curb the flow of illegal drugs and migrants across our southern border while simultaneously investing $410 million to secure the borders of Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

Congressman Troy Balderson today cosponsored the Putting Investors First Act, legislation aimed at ensuring pension funds put the financial interests of investors ahead of woke initiatives. H.R. 9527 reins in proxy advisors and limits their influence over American corporate governance. In the last two years, the Biden Administration has reversed critical proxy advisory firm reforms, resulting in reduced oversight, accountability, and transparency. Americans rely on institutional investors to manage their retirement savings and, in turn, institutional investors often rely on a small number of "proxy advisory firms" for recommendations on how to vote regarding the shares under their control. "Reckless Washington D.C. spending has already wreaked enough havoc on Americans' retirement savings," said Rep. Balderson. "This effort ensures that your pension fund is putting YOUR financial interests ahead of woke initiatives." “The Woke Left is using your retirement funds to advance their radical agenda,” said Rep. Bryan Steil, the legislation's primary sponsor. “This puts a stop to the Left’s woke attack on American capitalism. Americans are already seeing their retirement savings shrink because of Washington’s reckless spending. We need to empower investors, restore transparency and accountability, and enhance competition.” Earlier this year, the Security and Exchange Commission dismantled transparency and accountability safeguards adopted in 2020. This move has paved the way for unaccountable proxy advisory firms to become the preferred vehicle for special interests to achieve their policy objectives and cancel dissenting voices.

Turner | T000463 | turner.house.gov | turner | https://turner.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | (WASHINGTON, DC) - Today, Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10), Vice President of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly and Co-Chair of the House Romania Caucus and Congressman Bill Keating (MA-09), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe, Energy, the Environment and Cyber and introduced the Black Sea Security Act of 2022. The Black Sea region is of critical importance to both European and global security, as evident during Russia’s war against Ukraine. Ukraine, Romania, Georgia, Bulgaria and Turkey are strategic partners in the region and are vital for U.S. security interests. The region also has economic importance as a transportation nexus for many goods, including grain exports from Ukraine, and energy products from the Caspian Sea. Representatives Keating and Turner believe it is important for the U.S. to play both a more proactive role in the region, establishing a formal US strategy that bolsters security and encourages trade with the region. Congressman Turner said, “The U.S. and our allies must maintain a strong presence in the Black Sea region to maintain and expand energy imports, digital infrastructure and economic development. Our goal is to deter malign attempts by Russia and China to control the region – a move that would threaten our security interests abroad. This legislation creates a roadmap for the U.S. and our allies to strengthen economic ties, counter our adversaries and defend democracy abroad.” Congressman Keating said, “The Departments of State and Defense have been working for years developing a U.S. strategy for how we can best bolster security and stability in the region. This legislation formalizes those efforts and provides greater certainty for our partners in the region going forward. Strong Black Sea partners serve as a buffer against further Russian aggression and protect vital market access to the rest of the world.” Specifically, this legislation: Calls for a more robust foreign policy toward the Black Sea region, including increased advocacy between U.S., NATO … | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

Ohio GOP Rep. Mike Carey is leading a request for more information to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, whose department oversees both Customs and Border Patrol as well as the Transportation Security Agency – which runs the Federal Air Marshal Service. Carey’s letter lists a series of questions for Mayorkas about the plan, including ‘an estimate of the cost’ of sending Air Marshals to the border, what they’re working on, and what – if any – public safety evaluation was done before taking action. The letter is co-signed by six other Republican members of Congress. ‘As we enter one of the busiest travel times of the year, it is imperative that we have every Federal Air Marshal tending to their actual job rather than assisting in a problem your administration created and continues to ignore,’ the lawmakers stated. They also raise concerns about how the Biden administration’s impending rollback of the COVID pandemic-era Title 42 expulsion policy would exacerbate the record surge of people trying to cross the border. Air Marshals are armed federal agents who are tasked with anonymously riding commercial airline flights, in case an emergency threat arises. There are an estimated 3,000 Air Marshals in the United States. Biden’s plan would reduce the force covering flights to just an eighth of its normal operating size, according to the Washington Examiner. That’s reportedly about one Air Marshal on every 100 flights. Pulling Air Marshals out of the skies to help ease the migrant crisis is ‘creating a massive risk to public safety,’ Carey’s letter said, with barely three weeks until airline travel is expected to surge for the end-of-year holiday season. A federal judge ruled recently that … | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

Carey. “Reckless Democrat spending has led to an unstable economy, and while the NDAA is costly, it is necessary to ensure our national security.” You can read more on the FY23 NDAA here. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

Turner | T000463 | turner.house.gov | turner | https://turner.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | Washington, DC – Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) and Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-22) today sent a letter to House leadership, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, requesting the House and Senate include the Susan Muffley Act in any end of year legislation. This letter was signed by Rep. Bryan Steil (WI), Rep. Bill Johnson (OH), Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (PA), and Rep. Victoria Spartz (IN). In 2009, more than 20,000 Delphi Salaried Retirees lost portions of their retirement benefits in the aftermath of the General Motors bailout. Following the bankruptcy filing, the company surrendered its pension obligations to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) as part of its 2009 bankruptcy agreement. The Obama Administration then worked behind closed doors to slash the pensions promised to the 20,000 non-unionized salaried staff. The Susan Muffley Act works to correct the egregious wrongs and injustices imposed upon the Delphi Salaried Retirees under the Obama Administration and must be considered in any potential year-end legislation. In part, the lawmakers wrote, “With only one month left in the 117th Congress, passing the Susan Muffley Act must be a high priority. After 13 years of working to fix this injustice, Delphi Salaried Retirees should not have to start over again next Congress. It is imperative that the Senate finally pass the Susan Muffley Act and that President Biden signs the bill into law. Alternatively, the provisions of the Susan Muffley Act could be included in a year-end package. Congress must not remain silent in the face of the thousands of retirees devastated by this injustice.” A signed copy of the letter can be found here, and a complete text is below. As the House and Senate begin to consider must pass year-end legislation, we urge you to include the Susan Muffley Act as part of these legislative packages. As you may know, while facing bankruptcy during the 2009 Great Recession, the Delphi Corporation was acquired by General Motors.

In securing $29 million for a second Child Development Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, as well as unprecedented levels of investment in emerging defense technologies, my work continues to advance Wright Patterson Air Force Base,” said Turner. "The bill funds our national defense capabilities; increases pay for our service members by 4.6 percent and eases the burden of military families’ increased costs from inflation. In addition, as the threat landscape continues to increase, it is critical that our armed services exceed the pace of our adversaries by enhancing the deterrence value of capabilities. This bipartisan cooperation was necessary to develop and ultimately pass this vital legislation out of the House.” Congressman Turner Specific FY 2023 NDAA Initiatives: Childcare at Wright Patterson Air Force Base: $29 million for construction of a new Child Development Center at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, the second of two new CDCs funded at the installation in the last two years, totaling $53 million for childcare. Investment in the Competitiveness of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base: $4 million for planning and design for the military constructions of the Human Performance Wing Laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base.

Turner | T000463 | turner.house.gov | turner | https://turner.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | (WASHINGTON, DC) - Congressmen Mike Turner (OH-10) and Jared Golden (ME-02) sent a bipartisan letter this week to urge congressional leadership to include a reauthorization of the Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC) in any end of year legislation. “We represent working people who have been left without affordable health insurance since Congress allowed the program to expire at the beginning of the year,” the lawmakers wrote. “The HCTC provides refundable tax credits to retirees whose pensions have been taken over by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC)." The HCTC provides refundable tax credits to cover more than 70 percent of the cost of health insurance premiums for two kinds of workers: those who have been certified to have lost their jobs due to outsourcing, and eligible retirees whose pensions have been taken over by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. “Since its inception in 2002, this program has been reauthorized seven times – providing much-needed benefits to workers in such positions,” the lawmakers continued. “These people worked hard their whole lives and don’t deserve the uncertainty and stress of relying on a program that could expire every year or two. That’s why we must ensure that a permanent reauthorization is included in any end-of-year tax extenders legislation.” The letter text can be found here. Background: Making the Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC) program permanent would give the over 5,000 Delphi Salaried Retirees in Dayton peace of mind, eliminating the worry of losing their well-deserved healthcare every one to two years. Turner has been a consistent advocate for long term reauthorization of the HCTC, re-introducing The Health Coverage Tax Credit Reauthorization Act in 2021 after championing its reauthorization in 2019. This program has been reauthorized seven times since its inception in 2002, benefitting thousands of American workers and their families.

Wylie Ambulatory Care Center in Columbus, Ohio. "Technology plays a vital role in improving health outcomes and reducing inefficiencies in any modern health care system," said Rep. Balderson. "Unfortunately, the opposite appears to be the case at the Columbus VA Clinic. My colleagues and I are deeply concerned with how its new electronic health records system may be linked to disturbing tragedies, delays, and disruptions." "Common-sense dictates that the VA should pause its roll-out, immediately fix the problems, announce new safeguards to ensure such incidents never recur, or abandon the botched technology altogether," added Balderson. "The status quo is unacceptable; both our veterans and America's taxpayers deserve answers." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:24:37Z |

The new legislation would give the U.S. Department of Justice additional authority to pursue cases against suicide assistance forums, including a popular site recently covered by a New York Times investigation. “We’re facing a mental health crisis in our nation, and suicide – particularly among young people – is dangerously on the rise. The last thing we need right now is an online forum operating in the shadows of the internet that actively encourages and even assists people to die by suicide,” said Congresswoman Trahan. “Suicidal ideation must be met with mental health care and therapies focused on prevention – not real-time instructions and encouragement to die by suicide. This bipartisan legislation will finally ensure the Department of Justice has the authority necessary to target websites and users that push those in need of help toward self-harm instead.” “As America’s mental health crisis has escalated in recent years, so too has the rise of malicious actors seeking to take advantage of those who believe suicide is their only option,” said Congressman Carey. “Online suicide assistance forums are making this crisis worse and it’s time we take a stand by passing the Stop Online Suicide Assistance Forums Act to bring justice for the victims and hold these criminals accountable.” “It is heartbreaking for families to lose a loved one to suicide and despicable that online forums would push people in crisis to attempt suicide,” said Congresswoman Porter. “Cracking down on online suicide assistance forums will protect teens and young adults, who disproportionately make up the users for these sites and are most vulnerable to sui… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:24:37Z |

Turner | T000463 | turner.house.gov | turner | https://turner.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | Washington, DC- Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) and his colleagues are imploring the Biden Administration to unleash American energy production as an alternative to releasing 15 million barrels from the Strategic Oil Reserve, which President Biden announced last week. Their letter outlined several solutions to promote America’s energy security. In the letter members wrote: "While millions of Americans are struggling to fill up their gas tanks, pay their electric bills, heat their homes and feed their families, it was disappointing to see your announcement this week to yet again play politics with our America's Strategic Petroleum Reserve. There is a better way, that will provide lasting energy price relief and security for American families. It is that our nation's abundant natural resources should be unleashed to provide homegrown solutions... Mr. President, this winter, New England should get its natural gas from Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, not Trinidad & Tobago, and certainly not Russia. Americans should not have to rely on foreign natural gas imports because of a lack of adequate energy infrastructure to meet their needs. Increasing our nation's energy infrastructure is critical to ensuring we can meet our growing energy demands while continuing to reduce emissions. We need a holistic approach that includes additional pipelines and U.S. refining capacity.. Your Administration should send a signal of support for the domestic production of oil and gas. Anything to the contrary will send mixed messages to the global community as to the stability and reliability of U.S. oil and natural gas supplies on the market." Read the full letter here. Background: Today, gas prices in Ohio are up $0.50 compared to last year and the cost of heating a home is up 17 percent, costing households nearly $200 more this winter. Unleashing American energy production will alleviate unnecessary economic pressure on Ohioans by increasing supply, creating jobs, and securing our energy sector from foreign influence. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:20:33Z |

If approved by the full Congress, the funding will be used to construct an additional building that will include exam rooms and other resources for the food bank. The committee-passed appropriations bill awaits full consideration in the House when Congress returns in November. "The Dayton Foodbank's $2 million expansion would eliminate barriers to healthcare and create jobs, all while keeping members of the community fed, " said Rep Turner. "Advocating for this $2 million in federal funding allows me to provide for an organization that is constantly giving back to our community. I am proud to represent Dayton Foodbank and look forward to seeing how this funding allows this phenomenal organization to impact the Miami Valley region for years to come, should it pass the House."

Turner created the forum in 2016 alongside Dayton Development Coalition. He announced the move today, following his opening of the 7th annual forum. Click here to read Turner's full remarks as prepared. "With its increasing military capabilities and growing defense community, Dayton is the perfect location to host this forum," said Rep Turner. "The purpose of the Ohio Defense and Aerospace Forum is to bring defense leaders from all sectors together to grow Ohio's role in our national defense. With Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, the National Air and Space Intelligence Center, and countless small businesses and research opportunities, hosting the defense forum is Dayton's next step to becoming a premier defense hub. As Representative of Dayton, I look forward to next year's forum and what we can accomplish in the future." "When Congressman Turner approached the DDC in 2016 about creating a forum focused on Ohio’s role in national defense, our goal was to establish a more collaborative, statewide approach to advocating for our defense installations. Since then, Gov. DeWine appointed a cabinet-level official to protect and grow Ohio’s defense installations and JobsOhio has stood up a Military Federal sector to support defense installations across the state in the same way the DDC has worked with Wright-Patt over the years. We want Ohio to become the best state for our nation’s military and veterans,"said Jeff Hoagland, President and CEO of Dayton Development Coalition. Background: Rep Turner created the forum in 2016 alongside Dayton Development Coalition with the goal of establishing Ohio as a premier location for our national defense technologies and capabilities.

Rep. Mike Carey of Ohio is spearheading the effort. He told DailyMail.com that Yellen ‘failed’ the United States by downplaying the economic effects of President Joe Biden’s key spending bills, at a time when financial experts warn the economy could be careening toward a recession. ‘For nearly two years, the Biden Administration and Secretary Janet Yellen have destroyed America’s economy through their decisions,’ Carey, a member of the House Committee on Budget, said. ‘It’s time to uncover whether Secretary Yellen knowingly deceived the American people or simply failed to assess the risks of Democrats’ spending bills. Regardless, Secretary Yellen has failed the American people.’ It comes amid Republican-led criticism of the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act, which outside models have suggested would actually have a negligible impact on inflation despite Democrats’ assurances that it could help slow rising costs. Biden critics argue that the vast climate and healthcare bill is ill-timed given the cost of consumer goods skyrocketing at levels not seen in four decades, while the Federal Reserve’s bold interest rate hikes have spurred concerns that the economy could soon crash into a recession. In Thursday’s resolution, a draft of which was obtained by DailyMail.com, Republicans are specifically inquiring about the inflationary effects of Biden’s bipartisan $1.2 trillion infrastructure law and progressives’ Build Back Better bill. The latter failed to pass in its original form, but parts were later revived to make up the Inflation Reduction Act – which approves more than $700 billion in federal spending.

The PACT Act is the most significant expansion of VA healthcare in more than 30 years. Since its implementation last month, scammers are targeting newly eligible veterans claiming to offer expedited access to PACT Act-related claims that will not be available until January 2023. “We have a moral obligation to care for those who sacrificed to serve our country, and that includes ensuring veterans receive the entirety of the benefits they rightfully earned,” said Rep. Davidson. Serving our country is free, but for some it costs everything. America must accept accountability to care for those harmed, and work to protect veterans that once did the same for us.” The lawmakers state, “We respectfully ask that your agency use every available resource to ensure a smooth process for the millions of newly eligible veterans submitting disability claims. Any type of outreach initiatives, such as a public service campaign, that educate our veterans on how to protect themselves from scams, report suspicious activity, and properly submit a PACT ACT-related claim would be greatly appreciated.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |

The award is NFIB's most prestigious legislative award and is earned by lawmakers who voted with small businesses on key issues 70% or more of the time during the 117th Congress. This Congress, Turner has a perfect score, voting with small business 100% of the time, and has maintained that average over the last eight years. "Small businesses are the backbone of our economy," said Turner. "As the former Mayor of Dayton, I worked closely with many small business owners and have had the unique opportunity to continue fighting on their behalf in Congress. With inflation rates at historical highs, it is critical that Congress continue to ease the economic hardships and pass legislation that allows small businesses to flourish." "The NFIB Guardian of Small Business Award is presented to members of Congress who have proven themselves to be real champions of small businesses," said NFIB President and CEO Brad Close. "This Congress, small businesses emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic but faced continual threats of high inflation, workforce shortages, and supply chain disruptions. These NFIB Guardians demonstrated strong support of small businesses on key issues. NFIB is unique in that we only represent small and independent businesses, and our members decide our policy positions. We are proud to recognize the elected officials from the 117th Congress who earned this distinction by taking pro-small business votes that supported an extension of the Paycheck Protection Program and opposed tax increases, new mandates, increased legal liability, and problematic employment law revisions that would have threatened Main Street's economic recovery. NFIB commends Rep. Turner for earning the Guardian of Small Business Award.

Turner also announced his intention to revitalize the Wright Company Factory through the federal appropriations process. "In 2009, I had the Wright Company Factory placed under protection of the National Park Service and it seems only fitting we celebrate this historic site on the day the National Park Service was created in 1916." said Turner. "I will continue to put forth legislation that bolsters the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Park and other historic sites in our communities to keep our history alive for future generations." Looking forward, as co-chair of the House Historic Preservation Caucus, Turner will be leading the charge in securing funds for the Wright Company Factory in West Dayton. The National Park Service's initial assessment of restoring the Wright Company Factory is an estimated cost of $20 million. So far, Dayton Aviation Heritage National Park has received $6 million in funds from the Dayton community for development of the park's campus. During Turner’s time as Mayor of Dayton he found restoring historical sites brought economic growth and revitalization to communities. The restoration of the Wright Company Factory will increase economic development in West Dayton. Joyce serves as the Top Republican of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior, Environment and Related Agencies and oversees the federal funding that many historical preservation sites receive.

NAAMCE would be home to research and development opportunities on unmanned drones and electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft programs. “The National Advanced Air Mobility Center of Excellence will strengthen Ohio’s growing defense industry and create new economic opportunities for the Springfield region,” said Turner. “Securing federal funding to establish NAAMCE over the past 5 years has been a priority of mine in order to bring research and innovation initiatives, such as unmanned aircraft systems, to the Miami Valley. I will continue to work with local and state partners to secure additional resources for new capabilities and programs at the Springfield-Beckley Airport.” Background: As a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, Turner began his efforts to bring new defense and research opportunities to the Springfield-Beckley Municipal Airport more than 4 years ago via the annual National Defense Authorization Acts (NDAA). The airport is home to the Springfield Air National Guard Base. In the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 NDAA, Turner authored a provision requiring the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Department of Defense (DoD) to enhance collaboration to benefit research on unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) – commonly known as drones - at the airport. In the FY19 NDAA Turner requested funding to create the NAAMCE under the Defense Community Infrastructure Program (DCIP). These grants were originally designed to address deficiencies in community infrastructure that are supportive of military installations in order to enhance military value, installation resilience, or military family quality of life.

This legislation will prevent the Biden administration from enacting blanket student loan forgiveness. If the Department of Education attempts to waive or discharge more than $100,000 in federal student loans for two or more borrowers, this legislation would require them to obtain funding from Congress first. The Biden administration has no legal authority to unilaterally cancel student loan debt. “The Debt Cancellation Accountability Act simply reiterates that any student loan bailouts would require Congressional approval,” said Rep. Davidson. “This administration cannot spend massive amounts of taxpayer money with just the stroke of a pen.” A $50,000 bailout per borrower would leave taxpayers with a $900 billion tab. “It is not the responsibility of a self-taught farmer in Ohio to take on the financial burden of an Ivy League graduate in New York who willingly obtained a loan,” said Rep. Davidson. Only a small portion of Americans would benefit from student loan bailouts, 70% of which are in the top half of the income spectrum. “President Biden’s reckless policies have already caused record-high inflation and an economic recession. Yet, he is more concerned with satisfying the radical Left’s wish list than he is with solving the issues that currently impact all Americans.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:59:24Z |

Turner | T000463 | turner.house.gov | turner | https://turner.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | Dayton, OH- Today, Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) advocated for his bill, the Improving Newborn Formula Access for a Nutritious Tomorrow (INFANT) Act. The INFANT Act will prohibit states from contracting over 70 percent of their Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program baby formula supply from one manufacturer, thereby increasing competitiveness in the market and bolstering the supply chain. "There should never be a situation where caregivers in Ohio are unable to properly feed their children, but that is exactly what we are facing with the current baby formula shortage," said Turner. "I introduced the INFANT Act to bring in new suppliers to the market, thereby resolving the current shortages and bolstering supply chain resiliency to prevent shortages in the future. The federal government needs to undo the monopoly it imposed on the WIC program to make sure caregivers never have to worry about feeding their children again." “Public Health supports Representative Turner’s efforts to bring much needed help to the families of Montgomery County,” said Tracey Waller, Montgomery County WIC Senior Manager, Public Health – Dayton & Montgomery County. “Increasing the availability of baby formula is a positive step to helping keep Montgomery County families healthy, thriving and safe.” Background: The WIC program provides federal grants to states for food, healthcare referrals, and nutrition education to low-income women (pregnant, breast feeding, or not breast feeding but post-partum) and children under 5 years-old. It serves around 40 percent of all infants born in the United States and accounts for half of formula consumption. Under current law, states are required to contract with only one baby formula manufacturer for the WIC program. As a result, three companies, Abbott, Reckitt, and Gerber, provide 95 percent of the total baby formula supply nationwide.

The bill will make it easier for educators and first responders to afford their first home in the communities they work in by allowing eligible individuals to qualify for a one-time mortgage on their primary home and be exempt from a down-payment and monthly mortgage insurance premium. The HELPER Act currently has 77 co-sponsors in the House, including four members from Ohio. In addition, the bill is supported by the Ohio Association of Professional Fire Firefighters, the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police, the Ohio Sheriffs Association, Mayor Mary McDonald of Trotwood, Mayor Jeffrey Mims Jr. of Dayton, and Mayor Sharretta Smith of Lima. "Providing Dayton residents with access to safe and affordable housing continues to be a top priority for me,”said Turner. "With the HELPER Act, educators and first responders will be able to establish long-term roots in the region and will be more closely connected to the communities they serve. Making Dayton more affordable for our educators and first responders benefits not only those families, but the entire community.” “The HELPER Act is one way to show our appreciation and support for those who put their lives on the line each and every day. By removing some of the financial obstacles faced when buying a home, our first responders would have a realistic path to affordable homeownership," said Mayor McDonald. Background: The HELPER Act creates a program within the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide mortgage assistance to law enforcement officers, firefighters, and other first responders, as well as elementary and secondary school teachers.

"This is yet another example of the ways government bureaucracy is making the ongoing supply chain problems worse, not better," said Rep. Balderson. "Modernizing these requirements should be a no-brainer. We must take every possible step to streamline regulatory barriers that are worsening labor shortages in the freight rail industry, without compromising safety, standards, or effectiveness." Classroom-based instruction is only made available when a large enough cohort of new hires is available to fill a classroom. This antiquated model contributes to delayed entry into the workforce and ultimately contributes to the shortage of available workers, which is worsening the ongoing supply chain crisis. Existing regulations require applicants to enroll in centralized classroom instruction, often far away from their homes and employers. This outdated requirement presents a significant barrier to entry into the freight rail industry, which is already experiencing severe labor shortages. "Typically, it can take up to 6 months for a newly hired conductor to complete the classroom, simulator, and on-the-job training before than can begin work in the field. Rep. Balderson's commonsense legislation will help accelerate the process by allowing the classroom session to go virtual," said Ian Jefferies, president and CEO of the American Association of Railroads. "At a time when railroads are doing everything possible to get new railroaders safely into the field, this smart solution would go a long way to helping the industry reach that goal without compromising safety." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:49:02Z |

This legislation would create common-sense reforms to reduce human trafficking, increase bilateral efforts to stop crime at the southern border and reduce illegal immigration. “Currently, criminal cartels have more control of our southern border than our border patrol,” said Rep. Davidson. "These cartels are responsible for the human and drug trafficking going on in our country and endangering our communities across America.” Last year, drug overdose was the number one cause of death in adults 18 to 45 years old. So far in fiscal year 2022, 8,400 pounds of fentanyl have been seized by Border Control, which is enough to kill every American seven times. In addition, overdose deaths involving fentanyl have risen by 55.6% and are the driver of the increase in drug-related deaths. “Drugs are bad, but now they are poisoned with fentanyl. Cartels not only control the market, now they control the border,” said Rep. Davidson. "No one can imagine their child dying from taking one pill, one time, but you must imagine it,” said Mark Murphy, a constituent of Ohio’s 8th District, whose 21-year-old daughter died of fentanyl poisoning. “It is happening every day. Tens of thousands of Americans are dying from fentanyl poisoning/murder on our watch every year. It cannot stand. It must stop today, or tomorrow it will be someone you love." Biden’s open border policies are responsible for the chaos at our border, making every state a border state. The Biden administration’s lack of action continues to enable criminal cartels to profit billions of dollars off the suffering and death of Americans. “There is a crisis at our southern border,” said Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones. “I’ve been there. The lack of security at our border is contributing to people dying, including here in Ohio. I support Rep. Davidson’s bill and I’m glad he’s focused on the issue.” The Stop the Cartels Act will secure our southern border and protect … | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:49:02Z |

This bill would restore the full vested monthly benefits of nearly 20,000 Delphi Retirees. The U.S. Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation (PBGC) unfairly cut retirement benefits when General Motors (GM) filed for bankruptcy during the Great Recession. After voting in support of this legislation, Representative Davidson (R-OH) made the following statement: “Today, I am proud to stand united in restoring these benefits for the thousands of Americans, and over 5,000 Ohioans, who have earned the right to retire with dignity,” said Rep. Davidson. “After years of committed careers, thousands of Americans were unfairly robbed of their hard-earned benefits when the Obama administration unlawfully seized the assets in their pension fund. This legislation is the right step to ensure hardworking Americans receive the benefits they deserve.” Representative Warren Davidson is an original co-sponsor of H.R.6929. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:49:02Z |

Turner | T000463 | turner.house.gov | turner | https://turner.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C.- Today, Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) announced that his bill, the “Susan Muffley Act of 2022”, passed the House 254 to 175. This bill restores pensions of Delphi Salaried Retirees (DSR) that were terminated following General Motors' bankruptcy in 2009. Turner introduced the bipartisan legislation in March 2022 alongside Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-5). "For over 13 years now I have dedicated my time and attention to restoring the pensions to Delphi Salaried Retirees," said Turner. "It is our responsibility as members of Congress to address this injustice. We finally have the chance to rectify this wrong. Stand up for the 20,000 hard-working Americans who want what is rightfully theirs." Watch Turner's full remarks on the House floor here. “If you work hard and play by the rules, you should be able to retire with dignity,” said Kildee. “What happened to the Delphi salaried retirees is wrong. While the government rescued General Motors, these workers lost their pensions through no fault of their own. Congress has this opportunity to right this wrong. These hardworking retirees have waited too long to receive the benefits they earned, and I am proud the House passed my legislation today to fix this wrong.” "Thirteen years ago, our pensions were needlessly terminated when the federal government intervened in General Motor’s bankruptcy," said Tom Rose, DRSA Board Member. "Today’s vote is the first step towards correcting the financial harm that was needlessly imposed on over 20,000 Delphi Salaried Retirees." "The Delphi Salaried Retirees have been incredibly brave these last thirteen years. After devoting countless years to our careers, having our pensions stolen was absolutely devastating," said Mary Miller, Former DRSA Board Member. "The passage of this bill today is a reminder why we never gave up hope and will keep fighting for what is rightfully ours."

This bill restores pensions of Delphi Salaried Retirees (DSR) that were terminated following General Motors' bankruptcy in 2009. Turner introduced the bipartisan legislation in March 2022 alongside Representative Dan Kildee (MI-5). "Restoring the pensions of the Delphi Salaried Retirees is long overdue and finally Congress is seeking to correct this unjustifiable wrong," said Turner. "Through battling three Administrations and taking this fight to the U.S. Supreme Court, I have worked alongside these retirees for the last 13 years to finally make them financially whole. Tomorrow’s vote in the House is a critical step to bringing this issue affecting more than 5 thousand Ohioans to a resolution and returning to them the benefits they so rightly earned." The “Susan Muffley Act” provides backpay for the pension payments that should have been received for the past 13 years via a lump sum payment equivalent to the difference between any benefits that have paid out and what retirees would have been paid without limitations, plus 6 percent interest. It would also restore full pension payments going forward as if never disrupted. There are more than 21 thousand Delphi retirees impacted by this legislation, with approximately 5,180 retirees residing in Ohio. Background: In the Great Recession of 2009, car parts manufacturer Delphi faced bankruptcy. The company was acquired by General Motors (GM), which also faced financial hardship during that time. As part of GM’s bailout, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) took trusteeship of Delphi employees’ pensions at the direction of the Obama Administration. One group employed by Delphi was a group of 20 thousand salaried employees, including those who worked at the company’s plant in Dayton. Retirement benefits for these employees included a single-employer pension. GM decided to close the plant and… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:49:02Z |

After voting no, Representative Davidson (R-OH) made the following statement: "This bill is full of agenda items that are not only a distraction but a danger to our national security," said Rep. Davidson. It is the federal government's responsibility to fund a well-prepared military ready to defend our nation at any given moment. Prioritizing a politicized alternative agenda over combat readiness weakens our stance on the world stage. Weakness invites aggression, as this administration has proven time and again by continuing to undermine our military's core mission of fighting and winning wars. Our military is falling short of recruiting goals but continues to fire thousands of troops over a politicized vaccine mandate. As passed, this NDAA prioritizes radical climate change initiatives over combat readiness. Furthermore, this bill not only fails to secure America’s borders but also fails to provide adequate oversight of the vast amounts of taxpayer dollars spent protecting the borders of other nations (notably Ukraine and NATO). Unfortunately, Democrats blocked our attempt to strengthen this bill. For the sake of our nation--and our military--I opposed this bill. The Senate's version will be substantially different. To earn my support (and hopefully pass), the Senate’s version must address the many factors hurting recruitment and readiness." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:49:02Z |

This bill would give $60 million to the National Archives and Records Administration to address the backlog of requests from veterans for critical military records needed to access government benefits. After voting against the bill, Representative Warren Davidson (R-OH) made the following statement: “The records request backlog at the National Personnel Records Center is truly a disservice to our veterans and their families,” said Rep. Davidson. "For the past two years, I have advocated for its full reopening to provide our veterans with its critical services. Despite Congress having already sent millions of taxpayer dollars to the National Archives to address the backlog due to COVID 19, the agency has continuously failed its obligation to provide our veterans with the responsiveness they deserve. "Rather than present a plan of action, this bill allocates another $60 million in taxpayer funds, permits the same telework policies that caused the backlog in the first place, and neglects to hold this administration responsible. "The NPRC’s lack of action is simply unacceptable. I urge the administration to use every available resource to ensure all veterans have access to the services they have earned. "It’s way past time for America to uphold its promise to those who sacrificed for our freedom.” Background: Since COVID LOCKDOWNS, Rep. Davidson (R-OH) has advocated for the importance of the NPRC’s role in processing military records for veterans to receive critical government benefits. Without these records, veterans have had to wait extensive periods to access their promised benefits. Others, unfortunately, have been buried without honors as their families could not obtain the records in time.

On September 15, 2020, the United States was a party to the normalization of relations between our ally Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. These historic Abraham Accords was the catalyst for a new era for the Middle East. Since the agreement, nations throughout the region have worked diligently to normalize relations with Israel. Today, the geopolitical and economic impacts of the Abraham Accords have created waves of change towards peace and progress throughout the Middle East and around the world. Since the original signing, Sudan and Morocco have joined in the commitment to further cooperation. This historic document is a foundation for peace and bilateral cooperation for countries interested in renewed collaboration. On my recent trip to Israel, I met with senior officials, including Prime Minister Naftali Bennet and Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who expressed their hope for this administration to continue its support for this historic agreement. As you embark on your first trip to the Middle East since taking office, I request that you encourage Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries to also work towards recognizing and cooperating with Israel. Thank you for your consideration to this important matter. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or concerns. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:49:02Z |

Introduced by Representative Balderson, the legislation would designate the U.S Postal Service facility at 226 North Main Street in Roseville, Ohio as the "Ronald E. Rosser Post Office." The bill passed the House Tuesday afternoon and now advances to the Senate for further consideration. Watch Rep. Balderson's remarks from the House Floor and view the transcript below: "Mister Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 4622 to designate the Roseville, Ohio Post Office as the 'Ronald E. Rosser Post Office.' "The second-oldest of 17 siblings, Mr. Rosser always had a sense of duty to his family and country. First enlisting in the United States Army in 1946, Rosser served as a paratrooper for three years before returning home to Ohio to work as a coal miner. "In February of 1951, he learned that his brother, Richard Rosser, was killed while fighting in the Korean War and immediately reenlisted to avenge his death. "In Korea, Rosser served as a forward observer, attached to the Infantry Division known as the "Iron Triangle." At 20 degrees below zero, they were sent on a mission to raid a Chinese Communist-held mountaintop outpost and dismantle their winter apparatus. "Tragically, the operation went south as Rosser's group was met with fierce enemy fire. Heavily outnumbered, Rosser charged up the mountain with just a rifle and one grenade. He was able to suppress hundreds of enemy soldiers and returned to the bottom of the hill to advise the Captain to withdraw. Despite his wounds, he scaled the mountain - directly into opposing fire - several more times to rescue fellow soldiers. "His actions that day were the embodiment of courage, valor, and patriotism.

Congress created SIGAR in 2008 to provide independent and objective oversight of Afghanistan reconstruction projects and activities. Although previous administrations have cooperated with SIGAR’s investigative efforts, today USAID and the Department of State have yet to provide information and assistance requested by SIGAR. Full text of the letter can be found here or below. Dear President Biden, I write to request that your administration move swiftly to provide necessary information and assistance requested by the Office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR). Since the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan nearly a year ago, the Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) have not provided SIGAR with any meaningful documentation related to Afghanistan, despite a Congressional mandate to review, among other things: (1) the collapse of the U.S.-backed government in Afghanistan; (2) State and USAID compliance with laws and regulations prohibiting the transfer of funds to the Taliban; and (3) ongoing humanitarian and development programs supporting the Afghan people. This is a recent development. For more than a decade, administrations of both parties have cooperated with SIGAR’s investigative efforts in accordance with U.S. law and provided timely and thorough responses. I am concerned that further delays will significantly obstruct SIGAR’s necessary oversight work. I urge you to make all efforts to ensure that the historic cooperation between SIGAR and the Department of State and USAID recommence.

Turner | T000463 | turner.house.gov | turner | https://turner.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | Under current law, practitioners are required to obtain a waiver from the Drug Enforcement Administration to prescribe buprenorphine as a treatment for opioid abuse. Turner introduced the bill in February 2021, following President Biden's reversal of the Trump-era decision to remove the waiver requirement. "Experts on the front lines of the opioid crisis agree that buprenorphine helps treat opioid addiction, yet under current law, we are constricting practitioners' ability to prescribe this medicine, and in doing so, limiting access to millions of Americans who need help," said Turner. "The MAT Act eliminates the waiver requirement to prescribe buprenorphine, thereby streamlining quality and timeliness of care. With drug overdose as the leading cause of death in Americans under 50, the passage of this legislation is critical and will greatly improve substance abuse treatment across the U.S." "On behalf of the entire OneFifteen team, our partners, patients, and their loved ones, we thank Congressman Turner for his leadership in passing legislation that we know will improve the lives of millions of Americans living with substance use disorders," said Marti Taylor, President and CEO of OneFifteen. "His persistence and leadership will bring evidence-based treatment and services to millions of Americans in need. Based on data-driven learning, we know that medication assisted treatment and supportive services enable recovery and bring relief to families and communities. Because of Congressman Turner, people in Montgomery County and throughout America will have better access to MAT, a true victory for us all." Turner has long fought to improve treatment of substance abuse in his home state of Ohio, which has a 47.2 percent drug overdose death rate.

"The licensing process for truck drivers should - most importantly - ensure high standards of safety and competence for those behind the wheel. Instead, redundancies and overly burdensome requirements are worsening driver shortages, and pushing the limits of our existing workforce," said Congressman Balderson, a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. "The American people are hurting from empty shelves to skyrocketing prices on everyday essentials. Our letter suggests safe steps that can help reduce the supply chain backlog by ensuring the uninterrupted delivery of motor fuel products that American consumers rely on." Amid ongoing supply chain and price pressures plaguing the transportation industry, a national shortage of qualified drivers is making it difficult to deliver products in a timely manner. This shortage is particularly severe within the motor fuel industry, which requires additional hazardous materials license endorsements under federal law. “The HAZMAT truck driver shortage is serious, and as we approach the Fourth of July travel weekend, the Energy Marketers of America looks forward to working with the Administration on providing short-term solutions to get qualified HAZMAT truck drivers on the road that will help alleviate prices at the pump. We thank the 67 House lawmakers, especially Congressman Balderson, who signed the letter to elevate this critical issue to top Biden Administration officials,” said Rob Underwood, President of the Energy Marketers of America. “As we continue to work to untangle the supply chain, a significant tool at our disposal would be streamlining licensing and credentialing processes to make it easier for hard-working Americans to ge… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:39:01Z |

After voting against this bill, Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) made the following statement: “Inflation is a policy choice, and Democrats are responsible,” said Rep. Davidson. “Once again, Democrats have neglected to take serious action to increase American production. Instead, they have continued to push for expanded government and increased spending. This bill would add more harmful regulatory burdens to meat packagers, increase costs for producers, and ultimately drive prices even higher. “The already sky-rocketing costs of groceries and gas are crippling American families. Rather than pass this costly and misguided bill, Congress should address the actual issues leading to higher food and fuel costs and deliver real relief to our farmers who desperately need it. “The recipe is simple: more freedom, less government, and Sound Money.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:39:01Z |

After voting against this bill, Rep. Davidson (R-OH) made the following statement: “Over the years, the Federal Reserve’s scope has taken on new roles expanding far beyond monetary policy,” said Rep. Davidson. “Today, Democrats voted to grant substantially more power to the Fed at the worst possible time. “We should all agree that leveraging the Fed as a political weapon does nothing to help the agency uphold its responsibilities. Radically changing its goal by directing the Fed to invest in ‘equity’ is nothing more than an attempt to discriminate and divide Americans. “As our country faces crippling inflation rates and teeters on the brink of recession, now is not the time for political games. The Fed must stay focused on its dual mandate of stable prices and maximum employment and address the economic factors currently burdening ALL Americans. We must ensure our central bank can combat inflation without becoming distracted by a purely political agenda. Americans deserve a central bank dedicated to tackling inflation, not one distracted by politics and aimed at further dividing Americans.

This bipartisan legislation, which the lawmakers chose to introduce during PTSD Awareness Month, aims to help police, fire, emergency services and 911 personnel cope with the unique and immense stress they face on the job. Specifically, the bill would help establish mental health programs for America’s law enforcement and first responders who often endure long-term challenges from providing life-saving services in moments of crisis. Senator Chuck Grassley has introduced the legislation in the Senate. “Each day our first responders face immense stress and heavy responsibilities as they keep our communities safe. When they need our help, it is our duty to respond. The Fighting Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Actwill provide our first responders with the mental health support they rightly deserve when they need it,”said Congressman Turner. “As Mayor and now in Congress, I have worked alongside our first responders to make sure they have the professional and personal resources needed to safely do their jobs. This bipartisan legislation continues that effort.” “Police officers and other public safety personnel are the first line of defense in our communities when disaster strikes,” said Congressman Joyce. “Unfortunately, the danger and stress they face on the job doesn’t just disappear when they’re off the clock. I’m proud to introduce this bill to ensure law enforcement officers and first responders have access to the mental health care they need to cope with trauma they face while selflessly serving our communities. I thank my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for joining me in this important effort and urge the rest of the House to support this bipartisan bill so that the men and women who risk their lives to save others are able to get the care they need.” … | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:39:01Z |

Rep. Balderson's resolution recognizes American natural gas as an affordable, green energy source and calls for the United States to commit to an "all-of-the-above" approach to meeting our energy needs. In Ohio alone, natural gas has already reduced carbon emissions from power generation by an astounding 38 percent. "It's green. It's clean. And it's abundant right under our feet, right here in Ohio," said Rep. Troy Balderson. "Unleashing America's abundant natural gas is the solution to affordable energy, a cleaner environment, and lessening our reliance on bad actors. This resolution recognizes the leading role of natural gas in powering our daily lives and rejects the false notion that a cleaner environment can only be achieved at the peril of the United States' energy security and independence." The resolution also calls on the Biden Administration to support natural gas infrastructure and the production of natural gas by identifying and removing barriers for producers. "As a local business in Licking County, Knox Energy is honored to have Congressman Balderson visit our well site. Knox Energy is an Ohio conventional oil and gas producing company and we are proud to be developing natural gas supplies here in Ohio for over 20 years," said Mark Jordan, president of Knox Energy, Inc. "Ohio is a prime example of how our country should utilize and embrace its abundant natural gas resources in the pursuit of a cleaner environment," said Rob Burndrett, president of the Ohio Oil and Gas Association.

"From working with officials at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to securing federal funds for the project, I am excited to see this project come to fruition. The veterans and senior residents of Dayton deserve to have an affordable place to live."

The focus of Turner’s research is urban economic development. Turner, the former two-term Mayor of Dayton Ohio, enrolled in the part-time program to continue his work and research on improving the economic performance and sustainability of urban core cities. His Doctoral thesis, entitled: “Urban Fail,” reviews the historical evolution of federal urban development policy and how current policies inhibit capitalistic development outcomes in American urban core cities. Turner, the ranking member on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, has a national security focused congressional portfolio. Turner cites his time as Dayton’s Mayor as the impetus for his work in the program at Georgetown University. Turner said: “When I served as Mayor of my hometown, Dayton, Ohio, we were able to turn the city around, increase investment, attract new housing and redevelop the downtown-with a new performing arts center, baseball stadium and Riverscape attraction. Still, like all American urban core cites, Dayton struggles and I believe federal policies inhibit urban economic growth. My thesis advocates changing these policies.” Congressman Turner, who supports life-long learning and higher education, balanced work, school, and life to complete the program while serving in the US House of Representatives. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:29:07Z |

Turner | T000463 | turner.house.gov | turner | https://turner.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | Washington, DC – Congressman Mike Turner (R-OH) joined 15 of his House colleagues in a bipartisan resolution strongly supporting the applications of Finland and Sweden to NATO. The resolution urges the acceptance of both countries into NATO, emphasizing that their acceptance would boost NATO's deterrence in the fight against Russia and add to NATO's overall military capabilities. In the resolution, the members wrote: “We are united in our support of these two critical applications. Finland and Sweden embody the democratic values that NATO was founded upon in the Washington Treaty, and their accession to the Trans-Atlantic Alliance will strengthen regional security. What Vladimir Putin will never understand is that an alliance is born of mutual respect and cooperation not fear and intimidation. NATO will always be stronger because our nations want to stand together.” Finland and Sweden, which are historically neutral countries, rapidly shifted their defense policy as the Russian Federation wages a cruel and unnecessary war against its neighbor Ukraine. Finland remained neutral during the Cold War despite living under constant threat from the Soviet Union and sharing a roughly 800 mile border with the U.S.S.R. Sweden has remained neutral since at least 1814 despite the many wars on the European continent since then. Rather than deter countries from joining NATO, the Kremlin has done the opposite, driving those into the alliance as a reaction to reckless aggression. Finland and Sweden formally applied to NATO on May 18th. A copy of the Resolution, led by Representative Keating, can be found here. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:29:07Z |

The letter reads, “Though well intended, the program has been disastrous for both students and taxpayers. In 2020, the U.S. Department of Education conducted an internal analysis that concluded that of the $1.37 trillion in student loans, borrowers would only pay back $935 billion in principal and interest. This means taxpayers will be forced to pay the $435 billion difference. Each year, the Federal Direct Loan Program takes a costly toll on both students and taxpayers. Congress must address this problem since the President has no authority to act on his own. Moreover, student loan bailouts will not solve the issue... We call on the committee to evaluate the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program and eliminate it, if necessary. Our nation must set students up for success and spend taxpayer dollars responsibly.” “Student loan debt burdens millions of Americans, yet the federal government continues to distribute loans knowing the end game—many times—is bankruptcy for the borrower,” said Rep. Davidson. “If we want a solution, we must identify the problem, which is the federal lending program itself.

In the letter, the members wrote: "The Russian Federation's unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine, an independent, peaceful, and democratic country, demonstrates the need for effective deterrence. Additionally, an increasingly aggressive posture from Russia toward both countries make expedited action by the Administration and ratification of the accession protocols by the Senate an imperative...

This legislation aims to expand employment opportunities for departing servicemembers to transition into civilian national security contractor positions by making it easier to transfer Department of Defense (DoD) security clearances. “The Security Clearance Portability for Departing Servicemembers Act will improve the transition for men and women in uniform from a position within the Department of Defense to supporting our national security in the private sector while cutting down costly delays on national security related projects," Rep. Turner said. “American businesses of all sizes are still facing workforce shortages, and that certainly includes defense and intelligence contractors," Rep. Bice said. "My legislation, the Security Clearance Portability for Departing Servicemembers Act, seeks to allow those departing military service to transition smoothly and effectively into the private sector. At a time when we are seeing increased military aggression from our adversaries, we must take every step to maintain our military advantage and preparedness. This commonsense legislation will streamline the clearance process while also assisting those transitioning from active duty service.” Read the full bill here. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:29:07Z |

The letter reads, “CBO miscalculated the cost of the Healthcare and Reconciliation Act by $503 billion, before factoring in President Biden’s student loan bailouts. Congress may not have passed this bill had CBO appropriately scored it. Congress needs an updated, accurate, and transparent estimate from CBO so it can fix our student lending programs going forward. It is imperative that Members of Congress, and the public, have access to disclosures on the data, programs, models, assumptions, and other details that CBO uses to estimate the cost of legislation. This transparency is necessary to ensure accuracy and confidence in CBO’s reports.” In March 2010, the CBO estimated the federal student lending program would save taxpayers $40 to $62 billion from 2010 through 2020. In May of 2019, the CBO produced a new projection that showed the program would cost taxpayers $31.5 billion over the next decade, but an internal analysis by the Department of Education in 2020 determined taxpayers would be left with the significant expense of $435 billion. “Due to CBO’s miscalculation, taxpayers are on the hook for an unexpected $435 billion. Biden’s call to cancel student loan debt and appease the radical Left only shifts more cost onto hardworking Americans. Congress needs an accurate analysis so that we can fix the federal student loan program going forward,” said Rep. Davidson.

Recent incidents, like the ransomware attack on the Colonial Gas Pipeline, an attempted water poisoning at a Florida treatment plant, or last year’s attempted cyberattack on the Port of Houston, are just a few examples of the threats that inspired this bipartisan legislation, which will both bolster the energy sector’s growing workforce and strengthen the United States’ ability to address future cyberattacks. Specifically, the bill will create an Energy Cybersecurity University Leadership Program, which will provide grants and financial assistance to graduate students and postdoctoral researchers studying cybersecurity and energy infrastructure. “Cyber threats on America’s energy sector have never been greater and must be met with urgent action to protect the critical infrastructure that makes modern life possible,” said Congressman Carey. “Establishing the Energy Cybersecurity University Leadership Program will strengthen our resilience by further developing a high-skilled workforce with energy-specific cybersecurity expertise. America must be unified in our response to foreign adversaries seeking to attack our energy networks, which is why I am proud to introduce this bi-partisan legislation with Representative Deborah Ross and look forward working together toward its passage.” “To confront growing cyber threats against our country’s critical energy infrastructure, we must make real investments in a strong and diverse workforce ready to meet any challenge,” said Congresswoman Ross. “I’m proud to represent much of the Research Triangle, home to institutions and universities that are propelling our nation’s innovation in cybersecurity and clean energy.

Mellino uses Intel’s recent announcement to argue for incentivizing renewable energy production (and reliance) in Ohio–all while ignoring the massive benefits of natural gas for Ohio’s consumers, the environment, and job growth. The argument is tone-deaf to the need for reliable base load energy as Ohioans see skyrocketing energy costs and rising prices at the pump. We’ve also seen the stark reality unfolding in Europe, as Vladimir Putin wages an unjust and illegal war in Ukraine. When green-at-all-cost advocates in Europe shut off nuclear and fossil fuel power generation years ago, without concern for their own baseload needs, they found themselves beholden to the likes of Putin for oil and natural gas. We cannot allow ourselves to fall victim to their same fate. I applaud Intel’s announcement of an initial $20 billion investment, putting Licking County at the epicenter of a new Silicon Heartland, and Ohio at the forefront of lessening our reliance on China and other countries for semiconductors, which are vital to both our national security and our economy. I also support the decision by Intel to set goals for renewable generation. Doing so is aspirational but also acknowledges a reality ignored by many — that renewables fall short and blindly flipping the switch would increase — not lessen — our reliance on bad actors. China supplies many of the key components in solar panels, including more than 80 percent of the world’s polysilicon, a raw material that most solar panels use to absorb energy from sunlight. In 2019, less than 5 percent of the world’s polysilicon came from American-owned companies. We have a long way to go. If the U.S. wants to compete in renewables, we must bring critical production back home, not increase investments in Chinese technology. That is just one reason the Intel announcement is so profound – it is a crucial step in reclaiming U.S. manufacturing leadership on the world stage… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:19:30Z |

An estimated 300,000 illegal immigrants, known as "got-aways," have managed to evade border patrol officers and entered the country illegally. Border Patrol officials estimate they have enough personnel to effectively manage up to 5,000 encounters per day. Already exceeding existing capacity, Border Patrol now averages approximately 8,000 encounters daily. Experts anticipate that number to surge to 18,000 encounters per day, which would mean a loss of operational control at the border. First implemented by the Trump Administration following the outbreak of COVID-19 in March of 2020, Title 42 has since been a primary mechanism for both the Trump and Biden administrations to expel a majority of migrants at the border. In anticipation of a massive influx, Border Patrol agents are being transferred from coastal points of entry and the northern border to support the impending crisis. The Department of Homeland security has also activated FEMA's Surge Capacity Task Force. On April 6, Congressman Balderson joined a group of 70 House Republicans in procedural attempts to bring the reinstatement of Title 42 to the Floor for a vote. Each attempt was blocked by House Democrats. Other efforts, supported by Congressman Balderson, aimed at preserving Title 42 protections as a tool for protecting our southern border include: H.R. 471 - PAUSE Act - This legislation would keep Title 42 in place by maintaining public health restrictions at the border until federal and state COVID orders have been lifted and infection risks from Canada and Mexico are minimized.

Formaldehyde has not only been proven safe as one of the most studied chemicals in the world, but it is used in the production of hundreds of items from wood products to prescription drugs to automobiles that the American economy depends on. Scientific integrity, not speed, should be the priority in evaluating chemical risk – public confidence and American jobs are at stake.” This letter comes as the agency seeks a “do-over” of a 2010 draft human risk assessment of formaldehyde that was highly criticized by the National Academy of Sciences for the EPA’s failure to use the best available science and modern scientific methods. It appears that the current draft risk assessment is being “fast-tracked” by EPA leadership to minimize internal and interagency review, relying on old and incomplete data and emphasizing speed over sound science and transparency.

Already stretched thin by the highest inflation we've seen in over 40 years, the ripple effect will surely be felt in the form of rising prices at the grocery store." The letter, sent to President Biden on Tuesday, makes several commonsense recommendations the Administration should take immediately to alleviate fertilizer costs for American farmers, including: Increasing the domestic production of natural gas, which accounts for 75-90% of fertilizer production costs, Approving pending permits for the export of liquefied natural gas, Reducing regulatory restrictions, like cross-border vaccine mandates for truck drivers, Using existing USDA authorities to provide emergency financial relief for farmers, and Incorporating essential products like phosphate and potash, key fertilizer components, as part of the Department of the Interior's crucial mission. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:19:30Z |

Lieu (D-CA) introduced the House version of legislation that will require public reporting and notice of the hundreds of thousands of criminal surveillance orders issued by courts each year. The bill, which was introduced in the Senate by Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Steve Daines (R-MT), will add transparency to the government-ordered surveillance of people’s emails, location, web browsing records, and other digital information. Americans who are the targets of phone wiretaps or bank record subpoenas must eventually be notified by the government of that surveillance, but the government is not required to notify targets of certain electronic surveillance. Hundreds of thousands of criminal surveillance orders are issued by courts each year and those orders can be sealed indefinitely. By keeping government surveillance hidden for years, even when the targets are never charged with any crime, subjects may never know they were surveilled. “This bill reaffirms our duty to protect the privacy of American citizens and limits the government from accessing information without their knowledge,” Rep. Davidson said. “We must ensure our laws keep up with rapidly changing technology to protect the privacy of American citizens,” Rep. Lieu said. “Americans have a right to know if their emails or other digital information have been obtained by the government.

At a young age, she was familiar with the evils of this world as she and her family fled Europe during the Nazi invasion. This foundation gave her an unshakable gratitude for freedom.

Massie and Colleagues in Lawsuit Against CDC to End Mask Mandate for Air Travel | 2022-03-16 | 2022 | 2022-03 | Republican | House | OH | Warren Davidson | D000626 | davidson.house.gov | davidson | https://davidson.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C.- Representative Warren Davidson (R-OH) and fifteen of his colleagues joined in a lawsuit led by Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The lawsuit, Massie et al v. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, seeks to end the CDC's illegal mask mandate for individuals traveling on commercial airlines. Massie's lawsuit takes on additional significance in the face of news reports indicating the Biden Administration is extending the CDC's mask mandate until April 18. "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not have the legal authority to force people traveling on commercial airlines to wear masks," said Rep. Thomas Massie. "Congress never passed a law requiring masks on commercial flights. This lawsuit targets the faceless bureaucrats who are behind the CDC's unscientific regulation so that this illegal mask mandate can be brought to a permanent end." Massie et al v. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention contains two primary claims: First, none of the statutes or regulations cited by the CDC for the authority to mandate that individuals wear masks on commercial airlines, conveyances, and at transportation hubs, permit the CDC to implement or enforce this mandate. Second, even if Congress had granted the CDC the authority to promulgate the mask mandate, the granting of this authority would violate a principle known as the "non-delegation doctrine." Representative Massie and his co-plaintiffs are asking a federal court to declare that "the mask mandate is beyond the CDC’s statutory authority or is unconstitutional." Further, the plaintiffs seek an injunction that prohibits the CDC, or anyone acting on the CDC's behalf, from enforcing the mask mandate. In addition to Rep. Davidson (R-OH), fifteen Republicans have signed on to Massie et al v. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as co-plaintiffs. They are: Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Rep.

This morning, German officials announced they will purchase 35 U.S. F-35 fighter jets to replace its ageing Tornado aircraft. Congressman Turner released the following statement in response: "Germany's move to purchase this transformational 5th generation aircraft will increase coordination with our allies and strengthen NATO's defense posture to address threats abroad. This decision comes at a time when war has erupted in eastern Europe - making the importance of a unified NATO that much more pressing." The full text of the letter can viewed here or below. Dear Chancellor Scholz, As your government deliberates its replacement of the venerable Tornado fighter fleet, we strongly encourage Germany to reconsider the F-35 Lightning II as a potential successor. By selecting the F-35, Germany would join seven NATO allies and ensure seamless coordination with key partners. Given the recent events in Europe, interoperability with our Allies and partners has never been more important. We commend the German Government for its efforts to significantly enhance European security. It is during these uncertain times that the unwavering strength of NATO solidarity is truly highlighted, and Germany’s leadership in collective defense is critically important. In mid-February, the United States Air Force deployed F-35 Lightning II aircraft from the 388th and 419th Fighter Wings to Spangdahlem Air Base. The United States is proud to enhance NATO’s collective defense posture with the F-35 and increase air integration with our Allies and Partner nations. This 5th generation capability provides the Alliance with the flexibility to address a multitude of missions in this increasingly dynamic environment. We thank you for your steadfast commitment t… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:06:17Z |

After voting against this legislation, Congressman Davidson made the following statement: “The process of this bill is exactly what is wrong with Congress. Democrats continue to play political games and pull procedural stunts in order to pass more massive spending bills that will only worsen inflation and increase our national debt. While I support the Ukrainian people’s fight for freedom, I cannot ignore that freedom is vulnerable here at home. Democrats have no plan to secure our border or promote U.S. energy independence. I could not support this process or this spending bill that fails to address the very real issues facing our country.

Turner | T000463 | turner.house.gov | turner | https://turner.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) joined fellow Colleagues in introducing a bipartisan, bicameral piece of legislation that would help restore retirement benefits to over 20,000 Delphi Salaried Retirees. Reps. Dan Kildee (MI-05),Tim Ryan (OH-13), Marcy Kaptur (OH-09), Bill Johnson (OH-06), Debbie Dingell (MI-12) and Warren Davidson (OH-08) are leading the efforts in the House and Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Gary Peters (D-MI) and Rob Portman (R-OH) are introducing partner legislation in the Senate. “The Delphi Salaried Retirees were robbed of their hard-earned benefits when the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation terminated their pension plans in 2009,” said Congressman Turner. “Today, we stand united in demanding moral and legal justice for the thousands of retirees who have yet to see some or all of their pensions. Congress must pass the Susan Muffley Act so we can finally repay these men and women what they are rightfully owed.” For over a decade, the Delphi Salaried Retirees have been fighting to restore their benefits. In September 2009, the Delphi Salaried Retirees Association (DSRA) filed a lawsuit against the PBGC to restore their pension benefits. After losing decisions at lower courts, the DSRA petitioned to take their case to the U.S. Supreme Court. Now that the U.S. Supreme Court recently denied this request, congressional action is the only option for restoring their pensions. The legislation is named after Susan Muffley who was part of the DSRA’s core leadership in the effort to restore their pensions. Her husband, David, worked at Delphi as an electronics technician for 31 years, but lost the full value of his pension in 2009. Despite health problems, Susan avoided seeing her doctor given her family’s financial constraints due to losing their pension. She was ultimately diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and passed away on August 9, 2012. “If you work hard and play by the rules, you should be able to retire with dignity,” said Congressman Kildee. “T… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:06:17Z |

We need to stop this madness and make America energy independent again.

The President spoke about defending democracy around the world in the face of Russian aggression, but his policies have weakened our ability to do so. The fact that we continue to import Russian oil, helping fund the atrocities in Ukraine, is disgraceful. America should be energy independent and supplying our European allies, but this President is more enamored with the Green New Deal than solving this critical problem. At home, hard-working men and women are being taxed by 40-year high inflation, but Biden had the audacity to claim economic success while taking no responsibility for the pain his out-of-control spending has caused. As families struggle to make ends meet, Biden’s soft on crime stance has made their communities less safe. A massive rise in violent crime has swept the nation and record amounts of deadly fentanyl is flowing through our porous border. By glossing over the problems he created, President Biden has disappointed the American people yet again. Ending these crises requires a return to the America first policies that made this nation strong and that’s what I’ll continue to fight for in Congress.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:06:17Z |

The American people, through their representatives in Congress, deserve to have a say before U.S. troops are placed in harm’s way or the U.S. becomes involved in yet another foreign conflict.” Erik Sperling, executive director of the advocacy organization Just Foreign Policy commented on the letter, “With the risk of war over Ukraine escalating rapidly, this level-headed bipartisan letter reaffirming that only Congress can authorize military action is very timely. While the Biden administration has ruled out sending additional troops, even allowing U.S. advisers and special forces to remain in harm's way in Ukraine without authorization creates the potential for direct conflict between the world’s leading nuclear powers. Regardless of one’s view on how the U.S. should respond to tensions over Ukraine, these are precisely the critical questions that the framers of our Constitution sought to entrust to the American people through their representatives in Congress.” Marcus Stanley, Advocacy Director for the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft stated, "A direct military conflict between the two largest nuclear powers on Russia's border would be incredibly risky and dangerous.

Warren Davidson (OH-R) introduced the Keep Your Coins Act, legislation designed to preserve Americans’ right to privacy in transacting with crypto assets. Specifically, this legislation would prohibit any federal agency from promulgating a rule that would impair a person’s ability to act as self-custodian. Therefore, a person would then be able to conduct peer-to-peer transactions with their crypto assets without the need to utilize a third-party intermediary. This would essentially cut out any need for a financial institution or money service business to facilitate a transaction. After introducing the bill, Rep. Davidson made the following statement: “As the federal government seeks more regulation of the crypto ecosystem, it seeks to impose more surveillance over American citizens. It’s vital that we preserve the attributes of cash transactions by protecting the permissionless nature of cash. No third party should be required for two people (or companies) to use money as a means of exchange, store of value, and record of account. This bill ensures that individuals will always have the ability to transact without any intermediaries.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:57:46Z |

I rise today as our nation faces major foreign and domestic challenges brought on by the weakness of the Biden Administration. Biden’s border crisis, botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, failure to hold China accountable, greenlighting of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, and “minor incursion” remarks, have sent signals of weakness to our global adversaries. That weakness is now being tested as Russian aggression threatens the sovereignty of our strategic partners in Ukraine. This threat to Ukraine is also a threat to democracy. Ukraine needs our support to defend itself. That means sending a strong signal by supporting more military and security equipment as well as immediate financial, economic, and energy sanctions on the Russians. We shouldn’t be in this position. It is yet another consequence of this administration’s failures. At the same time, our national sovereignty has been betrayed by this administration. Illegal immigrants and drugs are flowing across the southern border at a record pace. Worse, illegal immigrants with criminal convictions are being released into our communities. We must act to secure our borders and support Ukraine. Failure to do so will weaken our national security for years to come.

While the CR is the most conservative spending level on the table, I opposed that spending level last year, and I remain opposed.

David Trone (D-MD) and Rep. Paul Tonko (D-NY) to introduce The Due Process Continuity of Care Act. This bipartisan legislation would amend the current Medicaid Inmate Exclusion Policy (MIEP) to make certain that pretrial detainees are not kicked off Medicaid prior to ever being found guilty of a crime. Following introduction, the members released the following statements: “The Due Process Continuity of Care Act helps address the opioid misuse crisis by fixing an unconstitutional flaw in our Medicaid system. The current Medicaid Inmate Exclusion Policy perpetuates a dangerous cycle of treatment interruption and recidivism. I am proud to support this reform that provides pretrial inmates the medical treatment they need to recover from opioid abuse disorders,” said Congressman Turner. “Seizing Medicaid coverage from pre-trial detainees, who experience higher rates of mental health and substance use disorders, is destabilizing and counterproductive,” said Congressman David Trone (D-MD-06). “Not only does this policy hurt these vulnerable populations, but it also disproportionately affects low-income folks who are unable to pay bonds. This bill would bridge those inequities and allow for a more humane, more just pre-trial health care system.” “For the more than approximately 20% of inmates in our nation’s jails with mental illness and substance use disorder (SUD), treatment isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. However, current law prohibits incarcerated individuals from accessing federal health benefits when they are behind bars—even if they haven’t been convicted of a crime and are awaiting trial,” said Congressman Emmer (R-MN-06) . “This means that patients are forced to abandon existing routines of care, often having to begin new treatment regimens with new and frequently overburdened heath providers associated with the jails where they’re being held.

Licking County - located on the outskirts of Columbus - was cast into the national spotlight last month when a major U.S. tech company announced an initial $20 billion investment to build the first phase of what they plan to grow into the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturing facility. This investment will put Licking County at the epicenter of a new Silicon Heartland and at the forefront of addressing the nation’s semiconductor shortage. This investment will have an economic ripple effect throughout the region. Indeed, it will benefit our entire country. Semiconductor chips are crucial components to products Americans use and rely on every day, including cars, computers, cell phones, and virtually every electronic device in our homes. Since the early 1990s, the United States' share of semiconductor manufacturing has fallen from 37 percent to just 12 percent today. Asian countries now account for more than 70 percent of semiconductor chip manufacturing globally. The COVID-19 pandemic and its following supply chain disruptions have brought this issue to the forefront for every American. One concern for Americans in the market for a new car is the empty lots at dealerships as automobile production lines wait for chips from Asia. Failing to address the shortage of semiconductor chips could have dire consequences for our national security. With production of U.S. military defense systems dependent upon access to these chips, over-reliance on foreign countries leaves U.S. national security interests vulnerable too.

Doing so provides much-needed relief for our truckers and will help to ensure products arrive on-time to doorsteps and store shelves across the country.” The Licensing Individual Commercial Exam-takers Now Safely and Efficiently (LICENSE) Act, streamlines burdensome licensing regulations by making permanent several waivers that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) implemented in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic last November. Rep. Balderson is joined by Reps. Darin LaHood (R-IL), Henry Cuellar (D-TX), and Josh Harder (D-CA) as the legislation’s lead sponsors in the U.S. House of Representatives. The Senate companion bill was introduced by Senators Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) and Mark Kelly (D-Arizona). The bill would allow state and third-party examiners previously authorized to administer the commercial driver’s license (CDL) skills test to also administer the CDL knowledge test without having to complete the training course. This will help get additional drivers on the road faster without compromising safety. The bill would allow states to administer driving skills tests to applicants from other states. This will streamline the credentialing process and allow future truckers to get tested where they live rather than only where they received their training. “One of the first steps towards fixing our current supply chain crises is to increase the number of truck drivers delivering goods to stores around the country,” said Senator Lummis. “As a rural state, Wyoming is particularly reliant on trucking, but streamlining commercial driver’s licensing and … | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:57:46Z |

The CHIPS Act presents Congress a golden opportunity to pass bipartisan, common-sense investments that would bolster American competitiveness on the world stage. Instead, they put forth a 3,000-page wish list packed with policies that are overly partisan and fail to actually confront the Chinese Communist Party. “All is not lost though. We still have an opportunity to focus on areas of agreement in this package, like the CHIPS Act. The only question is: Are House Democrats willing to set aside their all-or-nothing approach in order to get something done for the American people?” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:50:39Z |

Congress must keep this momentum going by fully funding the CHIPS for America Act to help fully develop this and future semiconductor manufacturing projects across the country. Supply chain shortages have shone a light on the critical need for America to increase production of the semiconductors that power everything from advanced military equipment, cell phones, farm equipment, and a host of next generation products needed to grow our economy. We can no longer afford to rely on foreign countries to produce this technology – now is the time to act.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:50:39Z |
