Turner T000463 turner.house.gov turner https://turner.house.gov/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) issued the following statement on the passing of former President Jimmy Carter: “I am deeply saddened to learn about the death of President Jimmy Carter. President Carter was a man of integrity who was guided by his faith. I join all Americans in saluting President Carter for his lifetime of service, first as a naval officer, then as a senator in the Georgia State Senate, then as Governor of Georgia, and, finally, as President of the United States. I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences to the Carter family.” 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z
https://davidson.house.gov/2024/12/rep-warren-davidson-introduces-the-broker-dealer-tokenization-act Rep. Warren Davidson Introduces The Broker-Dealer Tokenization Act 2024-12-27 2024 2024-12 Republican House OH Warren Davidson D000626 davidson.house.gov davidson https://davidson.house.gov/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C.— Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) today introduced the Broker-Dealer Tokenization Act. This legislation allows for the integration of blockchain-based securities and payment stablecoins into the current federal framework by permitting brokers or dealers to custody both financial instruments until the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) formally updates the Customer Protection Rule per the requirements in the Act. “Congress and the SEC must modernize our financial system by integrating blockchain-based securities and payment stablecoins into our existing regulatory frameworks,” said Rep. Davidson (R-OH). “This bill ensures that brokers and dealers can safely handle tokenized assets while providing the SEC with the tools to refine rules that will foster innovation and investor protection.” Background: Specifically, this bill allows registered brokers or dealers to apply with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to become an approved broker or dealer for qualified tokenized securities under current rules as long as the broker or dealer takes the necessary steps set forth in the bill. The SEC would subsequently be tasked with updating rules within 12 months to clarify custody requirements for tokenized securities and payment stablecoins to provide a more permanent solution. Additionally, the SEC must also conduct a study within one year to evaluate if further guidance or rules are necessary to facilitate the development of tokenized securities markets, ensuring they are fair, orderly, and protective of investors. Rep. Davidson's office is seeking feedback on this proposal for further discussion in the 119th Congress. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z

The subcommittee’s primary responsibility is to conduct oversight of agencies, departments, and programs within the jurisdiction of the full committee. Congressman Gary Palmer (AL-6) will serve as Chairman of the subcommittee. “After four disastrous years of the Biden Administration, Americans are left with a federal bureaucracy built to work against them,” said Balderson. “Government weaponization and the politicization of public policy has led to departments and agencies in Washington abandoning and antagonizing American families and businesses. As the Vice Chairman of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, I look forward to working with Subcommittee Chairman Palmer and my Energy and Commerce colleagues to ensure the federal government is held accountable and truly serves the interests of the American people.” “I look forward to working with Congressman Balderson in his new role as Vice Chair of the Oversight & Investigations Subcommittee,” said Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman-Elect Brett Guthrie (KY-2). “Congressman Balderson has shown a commitment to aggressive oversight and transparency of the Biden administration and thoroughly examining complex topics facing the American people. Troy knows firsthand the impact heavy-handed government has on communities across the country. I know he will bring this same commitment to the subcommittee. I look forward to working with Troy to ensure appropriate congressional oversight to ensure taxpayer dollars and our government work for the American people.” “Congratulations to Congressman Balderson on being selected as Vice Chair for the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee,” said Congressman Palmer. “He will do an excellent job as Vice Chair. I look forward to working with him for the good of the American people.” Balderson has served on the Energy and Commerce Committee since January 20… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z
https://turner.house.gov/2024/12/turner-s-bipartisan-outdoors-for-all-act-headed-to-president-s-desk Turner's Bipartisan “Outdoors for All Act” Headed to President's Desk 2024-12-20 2024 2024-12 Republican House OH Michael R. Turner T000463 turner.house.gov turner https://turner.house.gov/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the “Outdoors for All Act,” bipartisan legislation authored by Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) and Congresswoman Nanette Diaz Barragán (CA-44), is headed to President Biden's desk for his signature into law. The “Outdoors for All Act” permanently authorizes the Outdoor Recreation Legacy Program (ORLP), a grant program that provides direct funding to cities and localities to develop, restore and maintain their local parks and other outdoor recreation spaces. “Families and visitors in the Miami Valley deserve to enjoy all the beautiful parks, trails, and recreational spaces that the Dayton region has to offer. With this legislation, we preserve access and increase the opportunity for additional federal investment in these green spaces,” said Congressman Turner. “I’m proud to see my bipartisan, bicameral ‘Outdoors for All Act’ included in the ‘EXPLORE Act’ which will protect and enhance opportunities for residents to get outside and enjoy the incredible outdoor resources that make the Dayton region such a special place to live, work, and raise a family.” “I’m thrilled that the EXPLORE Act, which includes my Outdoors for All Act is on its way to the President’s desk,” said Rep. Barragán. “I’ve worked hard the last five years to get this done. The Outdoors for All Act ensures that millions of Americans, particularly those in underserved communities and communities of color, will have improved access to green spaces. Growing up in the Harbor Gateway, I had to take a bus to travel to a park for baseball practice – a reality for too many low-income families nationwide. By passing Outdoors for All, we are making a lasting commitment to fund urban parks and bring the benefits of green space to communities that need them most.” In April, the House passed this legislation. Senators Alex Padilla (D-CA) and Susan Collins (R-ME) introduced the companion legislation in the Senate, which was cleared this week. “Everyone deserves access to the outdoors regardless of where they live.

https://carey.house.gov/2024/12/19/carey-leads-effort-to-improve-health-benefits-and-flexibility-for-independent-contractors/ Carey Leads Effort to Improve Health Benefits and Flexibility for Independent Contractors 2024-12-19 2024 2024-12 Republican House OH Mike Carey C001126 carey.house.gov carey https://carey.house.gov/press-releases/ scraper Washington, D.C. – Today, Representative Mike Carey (OH-15) announced that he is working on legislation to allow companies the ability to contribute to the Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) of independent contractors without making them full-time employees. The drafted legislation called the Gig-Worker Health Savings Account Contribution Amendments Act, would clarify that companies may contribute to a gig worker’s HSA and clarify that a contribution to a gig worker’s HSA does not make the gig worker an employee. Millions of Americans work as independent contractors. Gig workers enjoy benefits from working on a part-time basis, like flexible hours, which would be negatively impacted by moving to full-time work. However, without clarity, companies are unable to provide health benefits like an HSA contribution, which is often used as a retention tool for both businesses and independent contractors. Carey’s bill will make it easier for businesses to offer these benefits while the gig workers can maintain the flexibility that work provides. Background: According to a McKinsey survey, about 59 million Americans identify as independent contractors or participate in the gig economy. Moreover, this population continues to grow; research from Statista projects that 90.1 million U.S. workers will participate in independent contracting by 2028. However, current law prevents companies from providing independent contractors to the same health insurance benefits that are enjoyed by full-time employees without losing the flexibility of the independent contractor designation. While full-time employees use tax-free dollars when paying premiums, gig worker premiums are not tax-favored the same way – they must use after-tax dollars to pay premiums. Additionally, while gig workers can and do have HSA coverage, they often do not receive funds from their contractors the same way full-time employees do. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z

HEAT, founded in 2011 by Majority Leader Steve Scalise, is a coalition of House Republicans tasked with championing and promoting commonsense, America First energy policy priorities. These include initiatives to unleash affordable, reliable American energy, strengthen U.S. national security and bring down costs for consumers. Congressman Randy Weber (TX-14) will serve as vice-chair. “We are at an inflection point as a nation,” said Balderson. “Will we pursue energy dominance and restore the United States’ global leadership, or will we undermine our energy sector and empower our adversaries? For House Republicans, the choice is clear. “Ohioans have seen firsthand how innovation in American energy creates good-paying jobs and revitalizes communities. Our nation is blessed with abundant natural resources to drive future growth and export clean, reliable energy to our allies abroad. The federal government must work alongside energy producers to develop policy solutions that meet our nation’s needs and bolster American energy security. “It is an honor to be selected to serve as Chairman of the House Energy Action Team. I look forward to working with Chairman Pfluger, Congressman Weber, the Trump Administration, and my Republican colleagues to deliver energy solutions that benefit American families and businesses.” “I'm pleased to announce Representative Troy Balderson as the new House Energy Action Team (HEAT) Chairman,” said RSC Chairman-elect Pfluger. “His extensive experience, district production, and deep understanding of the importance of America's energy sector make him the ideal choice to lead HEAT.

As global threats grow more complex, investments like these ensure that our military and defense infrastructure remain prepared to address emerging challenges and protect both our nation and our allies.” Miami Valley FY 2025 NDAA Initiatives: Authorizes $9.2 million for Planning and Design (P&D) toward construction of the Advanced Materials Research Laboratory of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Wright-Patterson AFB.

This June, the IRS finalized the Broker Rule for digital asset intermediaries, fulfilling its directive. However, recent reports from the Department of Treasury’s Office of Tax Policy indicate that the IRS intends to expand the scope of the rule to apply to self-custodial wallet providers and software developers. Carey, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, emphasized that it was “inappropriate to impose consumer and technology regulatory policy through the tax code” and argued that by expanding the scope of the final Broker Rule, the IRS would be exceeding its statutory authority while impairing its ability to process tax returns in a timely manner.

Mike Turner (OH-10), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-25), Brendan Boyle (PA-2), and Max Miller (OH-7) announced that their bill, the Commission to Study the Potential Transfer of the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History to the Smithsonian Institution Act (H.R. 7764), passed the Senate last night and now heads to the President’s desk. This commission is a critical step in transferring the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History, a highly regarded museum dedicated to the history, culture, and contributions of Jewish Americans, to the Smithsonian Institution. If transferred, the Weitzman would serve as the Smithsonian’s only museum specifically dedicated to the stories of Jewish Americans. The bill passed the House in September, and with its unanimous Senate approval, now goes to the President’s desk to be signed into law. Sen. Bob Casey (PA) led the companion bill in the Senate. “There is broad bipartisan, bicameral support in preserving and promoting the contributions of Jewish Americans via The Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History,” said Turner. “With passage of this legislation and the President’s expected signature, we move one step closer to bringing the museum and its collections to the Smithsonian to be shared with a global audience.” “Educating all Americans, from all over the country, about the amazing contributions Jewish Americans made to our nation, not only raises awareness but helps dispel harmful prejudices about our community.” said Wasserman Schultz. “Welcoming the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History into the larger Smithsonian family would bring that vision closer to reality. Education about the Jewish American community is a critical tool in the fight against hate, and there is no better place for that learning than the Weitzman.

Congressman Kevin Hern (OK-01), Chairman of the Republican Study Committee, and Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11), Chairman of the House Energy Action Team (HEAT), joined Balderson as original co-sponsors. Directed at banks and other financial institutions, this guidance encourages them to manage “climate-related financial risks” associated with their investments and loans. Critics argue that the guidance could serve as a backdoor to restrict funding and resources for American energy industries, such as Ohio’s vital oil and gas sector, which supports more than 351,000 jobs and contributes $55 billion to the state's economy. The vague language in this guidance could allow for potential punitive actions against banks doing business with industries that the Biden-Harris Administration seeks to phase out, effectively pressuring financial institutions to support environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies over sound financial decisions. “This guidance is nothing more than a back-door effort by the Biden-Harris Administration and financial regulators to push their radical ESG agenda,” said Balderson. “Under this framework, federal regulators could pressure banks into avoiding industries crucial to Ohio, including oil and gas, by penalizing companies that don’t follow the administration’s climate priorities. This puts the wokeness ahead of sound investment strategies, costing everyday Americans.” Power grid experts have warned that the single largest threat to our nation’s energy security is misguided federal and state policies. Federal rules, such as the Clean Power Plan 2.0, are forcing the United States’ most reliable power plants to shut down, even as electricity demand grows at histori… 1 2026-06-27T20:01:11Z 2026-06-27T22:32:33Z

Unfortunately, through campaign rhetoric blaming the West for Russia’s aggression in Ukraine, foreign agents’ legislation passed to root out civil society, and lack of accountability for violent attacks against political opposition figures, Georgia’s government provided no such reassurance. These elections, which posed significant challenges to the democratic process, move Georgia significantly further away from joining NATO and the European Union. “Widespread pressure on public sector employees to vote for the incumbent party and a refusal to investigate violent attacks on political opponents are authoritarian behaviors, and a drastic departure from the vibrant, multiparty emerging democracy that once defined Georgia. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z

Turner T000463 turner.house.gov turner https://turner.house.gov/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10), Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and Head of the U.S. delegation of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, wrote an op-ed in Newsweek about Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau impeding NATO's success and failing to provide adequate defense spending for the Alliance. Trudeau—Not Trump—Is the Greatest Threat to NATO According to media reports, leaders in the capitals of some members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) are alarmed by the potential return of President Trump. The narrative that President Trump would be the end of transatlantic security cooperation provides convenient cover to the demolition already occurring from within. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, not Trump, is a threat to the stability and success of NATO. In 2014, at the Wales NATO Summit, there was a unanimous agreement between all allies, including Canada, to spend at least 2 percent of their gross domestic product (GDP) on national defense. It would be deterrence through collective strength. For most allies, Wales established a floor for defense spending—not a ceiling. As a founding member of NATO in 1949, Canada should lead by example for newer allies. Rather, using the 2 percent metric, Canada is 27th in the 32-member alliance for defense spending. In fact, NATO has doubled in membership since 1999 and the Alliance's two newest members—Finland (2023) and Sweden (2024)—currently meet or exceed the 2 percent domestic spending for defense. Regrettably Canada's national defense spending is on the decline. Currently, Canada spends a paltry 1.34 percent of its GDP on its military after reaching an equally unacceptable 1.4 percent in 2020. Defense spending actually decreased to a recent low of 1.24 percent in 2022. While Trudeau's most recent budget sets a 1.76 percent target by 2029, its parliamentary budget officer predicts defense spending will only reach 1.42 percent by the end of the decade. Clearly, Canada is taking advantage o… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z

The letters are intended to gain insight into the successes and barriers that have arisen following the implementation of their law, the Mainstreaming Addiction Treatment (MAT) Act, which eliminates the waiver requirement to prescribe buprenorphine, thereby streamlining quality and timeliness of care. That bill, which was signed into law in 2022, aims to expand access to buprenorphine by increasing the number of medical professionals who can prescribe the treatment for opioid use disorder from 130,000 to 1.8 million. With this barrier eliminated, Americans struggling with addiction will finally have greater access to effective treatments in their communities. “Passing the MAT Act into law last Congress was a crucial step forward in our country's battle against opioid addiction and substance use disorder,” said Congressman Turner. “Too many Ohio families have been ripped apart by the opioid epidemic that has swept over the nation. The MAT Act offers greater access to life-saving care to those struggling with addiction, and we are already seeing positive results as drug overdose deaths dropped by 10% in 2023. However, our work is not finished. We must ensure this progress continues, and it is my hope that these healthcare providers can offer greater insight for Congress to combat opioid addiction and help save lives.” “For the millions of Americans battling substance use disorder, having access to proven, affordable treatment can mean the difference between life and death,” said Congressman Tonko. “I worked tirelessly to pass the Mainstreaming Addiction Treatment (MAT) Act into law to open the doors of access to the proven addiction treatment, buprenorphine.… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z

The Guaranteeing Reliability through the Interconnection of Dispatchable (GRID) Power Act would allow certain projects, at the request of the grid operator, to bypass the overwhelmed interconnection queue. The queue is where proposed projects wait before grid operators begin conducting their feasibility and system impact studies. In 2023, the median wait time grew to five years, delaying critical projects from being built and connected to the grid. “Our interconnection queue is buckling under its own weight,” said Balderson. “Transmission providers are tasked with ensuring we have enough electricity to keep the lights on, but the growing backlog of projects is adding years to an already time-consuming process. This legislation would give grid operators the authority to identify and expedite the consideration of essential projects that will protect our grid’s reliability and provide the power needed to meet America’s growing demand.” The interconnection queue has become inundated with proposed projects seeking to capitalize on the Biden-Harris Administration’s taxpayer-funded subsidies for "green" energy. These weather-dependent, renewable projects, which now make up 97% of all projects in the queue, cannot be dispatched at a moment’s notice to meet consumers' day-to-day and hour-to-hour energy needs. As power demand in Ohio and across the nation grows at a historic pace, the grid will require more dispatchable baseload energy to avoid rolling blackouts and power shortages. New federal rules, such as the Clean Power Plan 2.0, are accelerating the retirement of American power plants currently responsible for providing much of the United States’ baseload power. The GRID Power Act would bring more baseload power generation online in a timely manner, leading to the long-term stability of the Am… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z

Warren Davidson (R-OH) today introduced the Evaluating DeFi Opportunities Act. This legislation requires the Securities and Exchange Commission, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and the Secretary of the Treasury to jointly produce a study on decentralized finance. “Decentralized finance is essential to the future of capital markets. Sadly, the Biden-Harris administration is trying to regulated DeFi out of existence without understanding the risks or benefits," said Rep. Davidson (R-OH). "This legislation guarantees that data-driven financial regulations could be implemented by the federal government without interfering with the development of digital markets or jeopardizing the user privacy that DeFi provides." Background: DeFi has grown dramatically in the past four years as more Americans have become more sensitive about their financial privacy. With a fast and growing increase in users, the DeFi market’s total capitalization is now estimated at approximately $75 billion dollars. Despite the growth and the benefits it has brought, DeFi is facing significant challenges. The Biden-Harris Administration has been actively working to overregulate the industry, particularly by targeting the self-custody by proposing substantive information-collecting requirements on DeFi protocol developers. These unworkable requirements would essentially do away with the DeFi market in the United States by dis-incentivizing innovators and driving investment overseas. Its imperative that regulators understand the benefits and take a carefully measured approach towards regulating this nascent industry. This study will help explore, develop, and ensure we understand DeFi better tomorrow than we did today. The benefits of decentralized finance include: Operational resilience and availability of blockchain systems. Interoperability of blockchain systems. Market competition and innovation. Transaction efficiency. Privacy of user data. Affordability for users. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z

The Clean Power Plan 2.0, finalized on May 9, 2024, imposes impossible-to-meet emissions requirements on existing coal-fired and newly constructed natural gas-fired power plants. If left in place, this rule will lead to the premature retirement of key power plants critical to America’s baseload power supply. “The single greatest threat to our electric grid’s reliability is bad public policy,” said Balderson. “The Biden-Harris Clean Power Plan 2.0 is a perfect example of that. If left in place, the rule will devastate the long-term reliability of our electric grid and destroy good-paying jobs in Ohio and across the nation. I’m grateful to my colleagues on the Energy and Commerce Committee for standing with me to reverse this reckless policy and protect our energy future.” Balderson introduced this resolution in response to the EPA's finalization of the Clean Power Plan 2.0 in May. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) simultaneously introduced a companion resolution in the Senate. As electricity demand continues to surge at unprecedented levels, grid operators warn that baseload power generation may struggle to keep pace in the coming years. For example, central Ohio is projected to double its electricity demand between 2018 and 2028.

As part of their longstanding support for local firefighters, Carey and Landsman introduced the Enhancing SAFER Grants for Local Firefighters Act – bipartisan legislation to enhance an existing federal grant program used by local fire departments. Currently, the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Staffing For Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant program provides local fire departments grants to hire firefighters. Congressman Landsman and Congressman Carey’s legislation would expand the SAFER program to allow fire departments to also utilize these grants to recruit and retain firefighters through recruitment and retention bonuses. Additionally, the legislation would allow fire departments’ applications to the SAFER grant program to be valid for five years, instead of the current one year, to reduce the cost and administrative burdens faced by local fire departments in having to apply annually. The Enhancing SAFER Grants for Local Firefighters Act has been endorsed by Cincinnati Fire Fighters Union Local 48 and the Ohio Association of Professional Firefighters. Congressman Carey said, “A fire in a home or business can mean anything from an inconvenience to the unthinkable. Highly-trained ‘Front Line’ firefighters provide lifesaving service to communities across Ohio. Fire departments’ ability to rely on a strong Front Line, year after year, is invaluable. We are proud to join this bipartisan effort to ensure our communities have the resources and personnel they need to respond to fires safely and effectively.” Congressman Landsman said, “For our communities to be safe, we need experienced and well-trained firefighters on the ground and in our neighborhoods. But right now, with recruits in short supply, public safety is being jeopardized. By providing bonuses for recruitment and retention and maki… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z
https://davidson.house.gov/2024/9/rep-warren-davidson-introduces-the-brave-act Rep. Warren Davidson Introduces The Brave Act 2024-09-13 2024 2024-09 Republican House OH Warren Davidson D000626 davidson.house.gov davidson https://davidson.house.gov/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) introduced the "Brave Act" today. This legislation amends the IRS Code by expanding the combat zone income tax exclusion from only officially designated combat zones to instead be inclusive of all non-permanently deployed service members operating abroad. “When our soldiers deploy for combat, they don't pay taxes. When they deploy around the world to promote peace and deter war, they pay taxes. The Brave Act makes it clear: reward both of these deployments—respect our warriors,” said Rep. Davidson (R-OH). “The "Brave Act" ensures that those serving in foreign deployments receive the full tax relief they deserve, maintaining fairness for all service members.” Background: The current tax code was intended to alleviate these burdens by providing that deployment pay for troops in combat zones would not be counted as taxable gross income by the IRS, therefore lowering the tax burden on soldiers. The problem with this is that combat zones are declared on an ad hoc basis by executive order, which as of now only encompasses roughly a dozen countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Jordan, Somalia, The Sinai etc. Often countries that the U.S. bases combat support to another theater out of, such as Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Pakistan, receive the designation as well. This approach is arbitrary and unpredictable, as service members are forward deployed to roughly 175 countries and, in many cases, risking their lives and shouldering serious personal costs despite the lack of an official combat zone designation. A soldier may be deployed to, for example, Chad or INDOPACOM and be under fire and in combat yet not receive the designation and subsequent tax relief for arcane bureaucratic reasons beyond their control. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z

The bill would create an annual week dedicated to promoting Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education access and interest, especially among communities with limited access to educational resources. “As Ohio students begin another school year, it is all the more important to recognize the role that STEM education plays in preparing them for the future,” said Congressman Carey. “Science, technology, engineering and mathematics learning can inspire new curiosity, a lifelong passion or a successful career. Unfortunately, not every student has the same access to this transformative education. A National STEM Week will help emphasize the value of these subjects to students, parents and teachers alike.” “Ohio is the heart of American innovation and will soon be home to the most advanced semiconductor fabrication facilities in the world thanks to historic investments from the Biden-Harris administration and Intel. STEM fields power these industries of the future, so it is vital that we help future generations in our community develop the skills they need to make the most of this generational investment,” said Congresswoman Beatty. “Establishing a National STEM Week to promote education in these fields, particularly among underserved communities, gives our kids the chance to actually see what a future in STEM looks like and will ensure that every student – no matter their background or zip code – has the tools needed to become the next generation of American innovators.” “It has long been the philosophy of COSI that science, technology, engineering and math need not be confined to a laboratory or a classroom,” said Dr. Frederic Bertley, President & CEO of COSI, one of the nation’s top ranked science museums and a co-developer of this bill. “They form the fabric of our daily lives, existing everywhere for everybody to experience and learn from.

The bill, introduced last year by Congressman Mike Carey (OH-15), codifies the long-running Congressional Observer Program which deploys designated congressional election observers to observe federal election administration procedures. Carey said, “Every vote counts. This common-sense legislation will help give Americans confidence that the vote they cast is counted accurately, with fairness and integrity. We were proud to support this common-sense bill.” The Election Observer Program allows House of Representatives staffers, designated and credentialed by the Committee, on-site at the election office or facility in close or difficult elections to observe the election procedures to ensure the certified winner was chosen in a free and fair election. Congressman Carey spoke on the House floor in support of the COCOA Act. Text of his remarks are below: Mister Speaker, I rise today in strong support of my bill, H.R. 6513, the Confirmation of Congressional Observer Access Act or COCOA Act of 2023. It will provide a statutory citation for the long-running, nonpartisan Election Observer Program. This program has trained and equipped congressional staff to serve as election observers during close election contests. As we have seen, election contests can come down to just six votes. This critical program adds an added layer of accountability for the American people during close contests. Ensuring our elections are fair, factual, and accurate is of utmost importance. I’ve been proud to work with my colleagues on the Committee on House Administration this Congress to strengthen our nations elections. This program is a strong election integrity measure that I encourage all of my colleagues to support. I yield back the balance of my time. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z

Turner T000463 turner.house.gov turner https://turner.house.gov/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner (OH-10) recently penned an op-ed in The New York Times about why the United States must invest in its nuclear arsenal and build a cohesive strategy around integrated missile defense as authoritarian regimes increase their nuclear weapon capabilities. We Must Invest in Our Aging Nuclear Arsenal After decades of global nuclear arms reductions, every nuclear state run by an authoritarian regime is heavily increasing its weapons and capabilities. The global balance of nuclear power is changing, and the United States and its allies must also change their mind-set and invest in their own nuclear arms and missile defense. In the United States, we have long maintained a nuclear triad consisting of nuclear-capable bombers, ballistic missile submarines and ground-based intercontinental ballistic missiles. All three legs now require substantial modernization and billions of dollars to keep pace with our adversaries. Maintaining a credible and effective nuclear deterrent will help prevent them from even considering a nuclear strike against America or its allies. The most pressing threat comes from China. It is undertaking an alarming nuclear buildup, with the goal of doubling the number of nuclear weapons. “The explosive growth and modernization of its nuclear and conventional forces can only be what I describe as breathtaking,” Adm. Charles Richard, the former commander of the U.S. Strategic Command, said in 2021. “And frankly, that word ‘breathtaking’ may not be enough.” The Biden administration recently announced that it was realigning its nuclear posture to address China’s growing arsenal. But saying that we are realigning does not mean we are directing enough money toward the threat. Elsewhere, North Korea has provocatively tested nearly 100 missiles over the past two years, presumably to perfect its ability to hit the United States with an ICBM and attack South Korea. It is also seeking to build a fleet of nuclear-armed submar… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z

Davis (D-IL) announced that they would be introducing the EITC for Older Workers Act. The bipartisan bill would eliminate the age cap for workers to qualify for the earned-income tax credit (EITC). Presently, the credit can only be claimed by workers between the ages of 25-65. “The workforce has changed significantly since the EITC was established in 1975. Many of us are working longer, and a rising retirement age should be reflected in the program,” said Carey. “As Americans work to keep up with rising prices, we are proud to lead this bipartisan, common-sense effort to give them a boost.” Nearly 16 percent of Ohioans ages 65 and older remain in the workforce. Moreover, a recent study reports that almost half of the workers born between 1946 and 1960 expect to work past age 70 or do not plan to retire. “I proudly join Rep. Carey in leading this bill to strengthen the Earned Income Tax Credit for older workers,” said Rep. Davis. “The current age limit of 65 fails to meet the needs and circumstances of older workers. By removing the age ceiling, this bill provides a critical work support to the roughly 2 million low-income workers aged 65 and older. The bill offsets federal payroll and income taxes, increases the economic well-being, and improves stability for older workers.” The legislation earned the support of the AARP and the Critical Labor Coalition. Bill Sweeney, Senior Vice President of Government Affairs for AARP, said “The EITC helps millions of people earn their way out of poverty, encouraging them to find and keep a job. Workers aged 65-plus represent the fastest-growing segment of the labor force. Removing this arbitrary age cap ensures that those who are eligible and choose to work do not have their taxes raised just because they turn 65. The EITC has an added benefit of bringing in revenues to businesses, states and local communities, which has a ripple effect throughout the economy.

The complex, which contains 20 apartments for seniors aged 55+, was originally built in 1968. This Hilltop apartment complex received a million-dollar renovation through private funds made possible by Opportunity Zone funds. Congressman Carey said, “Sometimes, all it takes is a small push to take a neighborhood from struggling to thriving. Opportunity Zones are revitalizing communities in Ohio’s Fifteenth District and across the country. We were grateful to see the impact of Opportunity Zones in action this morning and look forward to continuing our work in the Ways and Means Committee to help working Americans prosper.” Renovations on the Hilltop complex included a new roof, HVAC systems, electrical, plumbing, laundry facilities, kitchens, bathrooms and flooring. Despite the cost of the upgrades, units are priced within range of the Section 8 Housing Voucher with 1-bedroom units at $989 per month and 2-bedroom units at $1,215 per month. Background Opportunity Zones are economically distressed communities, defined by individual census tract, nominated by America’s governors, and certified by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. There are 8,764 Opportunity Zones in the United States, including 43 in Franklin County alone. New investments in Opportunity Zones may be eligible for preferential tax treatment, like the kind received by New City Homes for its Hilltop project. The Opportunity Zone program was established in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). Portions of TCJA are set to expire in 2025 without Congressional reauthorization. Carey and other members of the Ways and Means Committee’s Community Development Tax Team have been conducting site visits across the country to learn more about Opportunity Zones and other projects made possible through TCJA. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:36:13Z

Carey is Vice Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee’s Social Security Subcommittee. Carey said, “Almost a million Americans every year, including some right here in Ohio’s Fifteenth Congressional District, receive overpayments from the Social Security Administration. These individuals did not ask for these overpayments, and sometimes did not know they were received. Yet, they may be asked years later to return this money.” “No one should suffer as the result of a payroll error. We’re proud to work on this legislation to protect Social Security recipients and prevent future overpayment problems,” Carey concluded. The draft bill would prevent the Social Security Commissioner from collecting an overpayment if the payment occurred more than three years before the date of finding and if the overpayment is the result of error on the part of the Commissioner. These provisions would not apply if determined that the payee had committed fraud in respect to the program. Congressman Carey has long been active on work to address Social Security overpayment. He questioned then-Acting Social Security Commissioner Kilolo Kijakazi about the issue in a hearing of the Social Security Subcommittee in October 2023. A month later, Carey was featured in this 60 Minutes segment highlighting the impact of Social Security overpayments on seniors. Carey also led a bipartisan letter with fellow Ohioan Emilia Sykes (OH-13) demanding answers on the improper payments from the Social Security Administration. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:36:13Z

Balderson and Walberg serve as the co-chairs of the Congressional Motorcycle Caucus, a group focused on raising awareness for motorcyclists and improving safety for riders. “Like millions of Americans and thousands of Ohioans, I love the freedom and thrill of riding motorcycles,” said Balderson. “For one hundred years, the AMA has brought together people who share the same common passion. I congratulate the AMA on this landmark achievement, and I applaud their mission to make the roads safer for all.” “As a Charter Life Member of the AMA, it was my honor to introduce this resolution to recognize the historic achievement AMA has reached, marking its 100th Anniversary,” said Walberg. “I am proud to have been a part of this fine organization, and consider it a privilege to be counted as one of its many members.

Read the full text of the op-ed below: Congressional Corner: Protecting Seniors’ Access to Banking Services The way we communicate has rapidly changed over the past three decades. The internet allows us to be more connected with friends and family, find information almost instantly, and make some of our daily tasks far more convenient. While digital advancements are beneficial to many of us, Congress has a responsibility to protect the availability of monthly bank statements and in-person banking. In recent years, banking institutions have started mandating their customers to go fully digital, effectively forcing customers to relinquish paper statements and requiring they access their banks exclusively through online accounts. I introduced the Protecting Against Paperless and Electronic Requirements (PAPER) Act to ensure that everyone has the option to receive paper receipts and statements from banks and credit unions. U.S. financial institutions are putting profits over people and are denying customers the documentation they deserve and need to manage their hard-earned money. Millions of Americans, especially our seniors, prefer not to use an app on their phone or a program on their computer to conduct business as personal as banking. Some Americans may simply not have reliable internet access to conduct such critical financial transactions. Regardless of age, income or location, customers deserve to have the option to continue banking with paper statements and receipts. The PAPER Act requires financial institutions to give customers the option to continue to receive paper statements. It also prohibits banks from withholding paper services from customers by conditioning a customer's use of the bank to … 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:24:45Z

The Affordable Connectivity Program, established by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, ran out of funding in May – ending assistance for over 23 million American households. Bipartisan companion legislation has been introduced in the U.S. Senate by Senators Ben Ray Luján (NM), J.D. Vance (OH), Peter Welch (VT), Roger Wicker (MS) and Jacky Rosen (NV). For nearly three years, the Affordable Connectivity Program helped families afford the high-speed internet services they need to work remotely, complete online coursework, attend telehealth appointments and more. The Secure and Affordable Broadband Extension Act would restore the program and provide eligible households with a monthly discount of up to $30 per month off the cost of their internet service. “Internet access opens doors, from helping kids do their homework to learning new skills and applying for jobs. Unfortunately, close to a million Ohioans lack access to high-speed internet. This bill will close that gap. That’s why we’re proud to join Rep. Budzinski in this effort to make sure every American has reliable, affordable internet access,” said Carey. “Access to high-speed internet isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity,” said Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski. “For nearly three years, the Affordable Connectivity Program’s $30 monthly credit helped connect nearly 23 million low-income households to internet access. This includes 50,000 families in Illinois’ 13th Congressional District. But despite its success, Congress failed to keep this transformative program funded. Today, I’m introducing a bipartisan compromise to renew the Affordable Connectivity Program for families in Central and Southern Illinois and across the country.” In addition to restoring internet assistance for low-inco… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:24:45Z

MVCDC, which serves over 2,500 families across Congressman Turner’s district, was allocated funds under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Fiscal Year 2024 Head Start Projects grant program. This funding will be spent over the next five years to support MVCDC’s mission. In November 2023, Congressman Turner wrote a letter to the Administration for Children and Families’ Office of Head Start to support MVCDC’s application to continue as the grantee for Head Start and Early Head Start services in Montgomery, Clark, and Madison Counties. “I’m proud to continue supporting Miami Valley Child Development Centers’ work to improve the lives of low-income children and their families. This funding will directly help children to start kindergarten socially, emotionally, and academically on track. Beyond the high-quality early education it offers, MVCDC plays a key role in helping families become financially stable and independent,” said Congressman Mike Turner. Background: MVCDC is Dayton’s largest Head Start provider and services more than 2,500 families annually. MVCDC works holistically with each child and family, taking a balanced approach to parent involvement, health, nutrition, social competency, literacy, and numeracy development. MVCDC is also a leader in the Head Start community in Ohio. It has been selected for expansion funding, specifically for Early Head Start services. Recently, the national Office of Head Start awarded it $9 million to consolidate and expand services at a new state-of-the-art early learning center in a historically under-resourced neighborhood in East Dayton.

The bill is co-sponsored by Representatives Annie Kuster (NH-02), Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-01) and Claudia Tenney (NY-24). “Biodiesel is a homegrown resource that can support our long-term energy independence and support farmers, producers and energy workers right here in Ohio,” said Carey. “With America’s energy dominance in at stake, we’re working across the aisle to strengthen our supply of biodiesel for the years to come.” “Biodiesels are efficient and competitive alternatives to traditional diesel fuel sources and can play a critical role in accelerating the United States’ transition to a clean, carbon-neutral economy,” said Congresswoman Kuster. “Granite Staters are all too familiar with high energy prices, and this bipartisan legislation will help lower costs for small businesses and households across New Hampshire while reducing harmful emissions–a win-win.” The bill has earned support from the NATSO, Representing America’s Travel Centers and Truck Stops, SIGMA: America’s Leading Fuel Marketers, National Association of Convenience Stores, American Trucking Associations, Truckload Carriers Association, Energy Marketers of America, Small Advanced Biofuel Refiners, and National Energy and Fuel Institute. “Renewable diesel and biodiesel represent a vital component of any sound strategy for lowering transportation sector emissions. Trucks are harder and more expensive to electrify than cars, and while we pursue aspirational goals we still must capitalize on economically viable solutions that help us lower emissions today,” said David Fialkov Executive Vice President of Government Affairs for NATSO and SIGMA. “We commend [Lawmakers] for recognizing the critical role that renewable diesel and biodiesel play in lower fuel costs for consumers by extending the Biodiesel Tax Credit at the blenders’ level.

Trump.” Director Cheatle testified to the Secret Service’s protocols and its direct response to the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, July 13, 2024. Below is the exchange between Chairman Turner and Director Cheatle: Chairman Mike Turner: Director Cheatle, your opening statement indicates that the Secret Service constructed a security plan for the site in Pennsylvania. I’m assuming that security plan would also include the security footprint for the site. But it also would be based upon a threat assessment for the threats associated with Donald Trump and the crowd in attendance. Would it not include a threat assessment? Director Kimberly Cheatle: Yes, it would. Chairman Turner: So, that threat assessment, as we know, basically would have started with a generalized threat against Donald Trump because he is a presidential candidate. Then it would have gone to ‘he’s a former president’ and he gets security coverage just as Bush, Clinton, Carter, Obama do. And then you also have the heightened political environment. Even for those, it’s clear that the security footprint, that the threat assessment, was insufficient, which permitted a 20-year-old to actually enter with a weapon and shoot Donald Trump. But I want to ask you about two other aspects of the threat assessment. It is known and public that Iran is a threat risk for Donald Trump. There are threat risks for John Bolton, former Secretary of State Pompeo, and Donald Trump, because they have indicated they want to assassinate them as a result of retaliation for the killing of Soleimani. That is, for Iran, a generalized threat. They are targeting these ind… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:24:45Z

The bill encourages the conversion of vacant and underutilized commercial properties into housing. The bill is co-led by Representatives Dan Kildee (MI-08) and John Larson (CT-01), and co-sponsored by Representatives Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01), Claudia Tenney (NY-24), Terri Sewell (AL-07), David Kustoff (TN-08), Mike Kelly (PA-16), Don Beyer (VA-08), Carol Miller (WV-01), and Jimmy Panetta (CA-19). A Senate Companion bill is being led by Senator Debbie Stabenow (MI). According to Pew Research, 49 percent of Americans lack affordable housing in their communities, and the US would need to build an estimated 4.3 million apartments by 2035 to meet the demand for rental housing. At the same time, commercial properties are sitting vacant. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, an estimated 30 percent of Americans’ workdays are remote. A chilling effect on commercial real estate has followed, with one study estimating a $413 billion reduction in commercial real estate asset values due to the remote work trend. “Between high housing costs and the rise of remote work, formerly prosperous neighborhoods across the country are struggling,” said Congressman Carey. “The solution is right in front of us. But even though vacant commercial and office space is sitting unused, converting these properties into housing is so expensive it is often uneconomical. This bill will allow communities to meet their residents’ need for affordable, abundant housing and allow American downtowns and main streets to thrive.” Representative Gomez said, “Our legislation is a response to two major parallel problems—empty commercial and office space in downtowns and throughout suburban and rural communities, and a housing crisis that is forcing people to live on the streets. The Revitalizing Downtowns and Main Streets Act will supercharge main streets by increasing housing… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:24:45Z

Beavercreek Township, the City of Dayton, and the City of Trotwood, all located in Congressman Turner’s district, were allocated funds under the Department of Homeland Security’s Fiscal Year 2023 Assistance to Firefighters Grants (AFG) Program. Recipients are eligible to direct these funds toward operations and safety, vehicle acquisition, and regional projects. “The Miami Valley’s firefighters and EMTs put the safety of our community members above their own, and they deserve every resource made available by the federal government,” said Congressman Mike Turner. “Supporting our first responders has been a top priority of mine since my time as Mayor of Dayton, and I will continue to advocate in Washington for our community’s finest.” FY23 Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program Awards: Beavercreek Township: $330,909.09 City of Dayton: $58,909.09 City of Trotwood: $42,272.72 Total Funding Secured for Local Fire Departments: $432,090.90 Background: AFG awards are administered by the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. Fire Administration.

The bill would allow seniors on Medicare to receive at-home emergency medical services to treat minor medical incidents. “Not every patient is best served by an emergency room visit,” said Congressman Carey. “In fact, for many seniors, a trip to the hospital can mean long wait times, increased costs and potentially life-threatening complications. We’re proud to lead this bill to give our seniors access to the highest caliber of care.” Treatment-in-place options for emergency medical reduces costs, increases convenience and protects seniors from potentially life-threatening infections. Adults aged 65 and older account for nearly 20 percent of all ER visits. This population contributes to the backlog in waiting rooms, even when they might not have an issue requiring inpatient treatment. In a 2021 study, patients who received at-home care had a lower risk for readmission by 26 percent and a lower risk for long-term care admission as compared to patients who received in-hospital treatment. “Treating patients immediately at home and preventing an emergency room trip is sometimes both the best way to help the patient and the taxpayer. Our legislation to establish a Medicare pilot program is designed to show the effectiveness of fair pay to first responders for such services. Thereby we hope to encourage a permanent payment system for treatment in place,” said Rep. Doggett. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) providers are at the frontline of delivering care and transportation in rural America. In West Virginia, many patients live hours from a hospital and must consistently rely on EMS for treatment. Our EMS personnel are equipped to provide care to patients that may not be in a dire medical situation, rather than spend precious time and resources on transporting non-emergency pati… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:24:45Z

Warren Davidson (R-OH) introduced the "No Unconstitutional Security Guarantees to Ukraine" resolution today. This legislation, initially introduced in the Senate by Senators Mike Lee (R-UT) and Rand Paul (R-KY), expresses that the United States should not enter into any bilateral or multilateral agreement to provide security guarantees or long-term security assistance to Ukraine. "President Biden's latest actions are a clear and deliberate attempt to obstruct accountability to the American people for his escalation of a foreign conflict. This dangerous agreement between Joe Biden and Volodymyr Zelensky puts American lives, national security, and sovereignty at risk," said Rep Davidson (R-OH). "President Biden and his globalist allies may be interested in escalating this war and giving up U.S. sovereignty to NATO, but the American people are not." "The Biden administration's decision to sidestep the Constitution and the Senate's role in treaty ratification is unacceptable," said Senator Lee. "This agreement not only circumvents the Constitution but also ties the hands of future administrations. Such significant commitments must be subject to thorough scrutiny by the Senate.” "President Biden's bilateral security agreement with Ukraine commits America to yet another endless war. This deal risks entrapping future administrations to a prolonged military engagement without a clear exit strategy or sufficient burden-sharing from our European allies. We must prioritize American interests and avoid endless foreign entanglements," said Dr. Rand Paul. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:24:45Z

And as parliamentarians, we contribute to the overall policy debate and discussion. “We’re going to have a very fruitful discussion here where we’ll get to hear from each of us, and I think this will help inform our debate and dialogue as we come together as the NATO Parliamentary Assembly. “In 1955, the NATO Parliamentary Assembly was created. David Hobbs, former Secretary General of the Assembly, used to say that if there wasn’t a NATO PA, NATO would have to create one. It is such an important function that we, as the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, come together to have a dialogue, inform our fellow parliamentarians, and discuss the ways in which we’re formulating policy that is essential to the overall policy formulations of NATO itself. “I was very honored from 2014 to 2016 to serve as President of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly. I’m certainly very proud to introduce now the acting president of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, our former president, Gerry Connolly. “I appreciate that he has, for a short period, taken the presidency as we approach the summit, where he’ll be able to represent us in addressing the NATO Summit. “You heard last night that Secretary General Stoltenberg has been very committed to the relationship with the NATO Parliamentary Assembly and ensuring that we have a voice at the summit in addition to a place at the table always with him. “So, on behalf of the U.S. delegation, first off, let me welcome you, and then secondly, I want to also congratulate Gerry Connolly for his service both as past president and as current president.” ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:24:45Z

At that event, we will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Dayton Peace Accords, which brought peace to the area of the Balkans that had been devastated by unbelievable atrocities.

Turner T000463 turner.house.gov turner https://turner.house.gov/press-releases scraper NATO in the Democratic Arena NATO is “brain dead.” NATO is “obsolete.” NATO is “a relic of the Cold War.” These are the familiar tropes espoused by NATO’s critics who have become drowned out by the Russian onslaught in Ukraine. With Putin’s brutal invasion, the march of authoritarianism has quickened its step. NATO, however, has responded with a demonstration of unity and resolve capable of redefining the future of the Alliance, if we can bring ourselves to admit an uncomfortable truth: the fight for democracy in the 21st century is an existential one and NATO is an indispensable party to the conflict. When Teddy Roosevelt visited Europe in 1910, the former President toured the continent extensively before giving his delayed Nobel lecture. He had won the Nobel Prize in 1906 for ending the Russo-Japanese war, a war that started, in part, due to Russia’s imperial ambition for a warm water port. That war was mediated to peace only after Russia suffered a substantial and humiliating military defeat. On his way to Oslo, President Roosevelt delivered a speech at the Sorbonne in Paris entitled, “Citizenship in a Republic.” In that speech, which later came to be known as the “Man in the Arena” speech, President Roosevelt proclaimed, “It is not the critic who counts… The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause…” And so goes the history of NATO. As critics have hurled taunts of obsolescence, NATO has remained the steadfast practitioner of peace, the man in the arena upholding the collective defense commitment enshrined in Article 5 of the Washington Treaty, and building and maintaining the deterrence and defense capabilities that sit at the very heart of transatlantic security.

We are proud to help guarantee these resources can be available in every community across the country, for every family who might need them.” “When I served in the Connecticut State Senate, I worked with Dr. Edward Zigler, the father of Head Start, to establish Family Resource Centers in the State of Connecticut so working parents could have access to reliable childcare at their children’s school and get connected with the resources they need to thrive,” said Larson. “I am proud to introduce the Promoting Community Based Prevention Services Act with Rep. Carey today to create a pathway for FRCs, which serve 13,000 individuals in Connecticut annually, to directly receive federal funding to support the services they provide for families and communities.” Family resource centers (FRCs) provide community-driven services and spaces at no cost to the families who use them. FRC offerings range from mental health and substance abuse programs to parenting classes, screening for developmental delays and early childhood education. The efficacy of FRCs has been demonstrated in studies across the nation, ranging from a 45 percent reduction in cases of child abuse and neglect in Alachua County, Florida to a 20 percent increase in Massachusetts parents’ reporting on their ability to keep their children safe from abuse. FRCs also have a substantial return on investment: in Alabama, every dollar spent on FRCs brought a $4.70 return to the state.

The bill will waive passport fees for the families of members of servicemembers going to visit that family member in a hospital or medical facility during their service abroad. “The last thing military families need is added stress and expense when going to visit their loved one in a time of illness or injury,” said Carey. “As a veteran myself, I understand that families serve, too. We’re proud to lead this bipartisan bill to support our military families when they’re needed most.” The bill is co-led by Representative Abigail Spanberger (VA-07). “When a parent, spouse, or sibling receives the dreaded phone call that their loved one has been injured in combat, that family member should not have to worry about the extra cost of obtaining a passport to be by their side. Our nation’s servicemembers — and their families — deserve our highest standard of care and support for their immense sacrifice,” said Spanberger. “I’m proud to once again help lead this bipartisan legislation to give our military families a small measure of peace of mind at an incredibly difficult time — and to help our heroic combat-injured servicemembers receive the comfort and reassurance of a loved one.” 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:11:47Z

In attendance were over two dozen representatives from Ohio’s energy sector, including electric co-ops, utilities, natural gas producers, business groups, and power generators. The in-depth discussion focused on Ohio’s unique role in improving American energy security and took place just days after Balderson led his House colleagues in an effort to block President Biden’s plan to shutter U.S. power plants. Balderson's legislation now has 143 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives. “Ohio is in the middle of an energy renaissance, fueled by booming natural gas production and unprecedented private sector investment,” said Balderson. “This roundtable gathered experts from across the energy industry to discuss the future of American energy and how Ohio will be a critical piece of the nation’s power mix for decades to come.” Balderson held his first energy roundtable last August in Cambridge, Ohio, where he led a discussion on permitting reform and his efforts in Washington to enact meaningful changes to free up the bureaucratic backlog in Washington.

Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, simultaneously led 43 of her colleagues in introducing an identical resolution in the United States Senate. The resolution comes after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued its final rules, dubbed the Clean Power Plan 2.0, that impose unrealistic emissions requirements on existing coal-fired power plants and newly constructed gas-fired power plants. This attempt to force the closure of power plants that supply America’s baseload electricity was previously tried under President Obama and overturned by the Supreme Court in West Virginia v. EPA. “The Clean Power Plan 2.0 was created by and for extreme activists, ignoring the real-world harm it will cause to our electric grid and American energy security,” said Balderson. “Slashing our baseload energy production while power demand continues to climb at historic levels is shortsighted and will have a catastrophic impact for Ohioans. This Congressional Review Act resolution allows Congress to step in and reverse the Biden Administration’s efforts to practically eliminate our reliable power generation by 2032.” “With this Congressional Review Act resolution of disapproval, every member of Congress will have the opportunity to protect America’s energy future, heed the warnings of our nation’s electric grid operators, and adhere to the precedent set by the Supreme Court. This vote is an important one because the Biden administration’s Clean Power Plan 2.0 makes it clear it will stand with climate activists, regardless of the harm that is sure to be done to families, workers, and communities across West Virginia and the rest of the country.

The bill makes improvements to the currently underutilized Self-Employment Assistance (SEA) Program, making state participation less onerous and encouraging participation. “Small businesses are the engine of our economy, but making the leap from unemployment to self-employment is risky,” said Carey. “Americans shouldn’t be forced to choose between unemployment insurance and working on the next big idea. We’re proud to join Rep. Landsman on this bill to improve the support available to aspiring entrepreneurs.” “This unique opportunity allows those who are unemployed to build a business with dignity,” said Landsman. “As a member of the House Small Business Committee, I believe these reforms to the program empowers entrepreneurship and could benefit many folks who have a passion but doubt they can make it a reality.” The bill has earned widespread support from the small business community and other outside groups. “Entrepreneurship is challenging, and we know that finding the support to take the leap is often the hardest part of getting started,” said Shopify Vice President of Communications and Public Affairs Alex Clark. “This policy is a great example of how the government can come to the table to support, enable, and foster more entrepreneurship in a way that can really make a significant difference.

Kristin Jónsson, mother of Kristine Jónsson, said “So often people shrug their shoulders and think that is someone wants to die by suicide, there’s just nothing to be done, but the truth is that when lethal means are not available, the crisis will often pass. If this law existed when companies first learned of the SN danger, my daughter would have had a chance. Someday there will be a mother who is spared the pain our family is going through because this so-called quick and easy method recommended and sold online won’t be available.” “I’m incredibly grateful to the lawmakers, including my own representative, Mike Carey. Psychologists have long known that suicide is often impulsive and that people change their minds in the middle of the act but when something this lethal and irreversible is easily available — especially to children — there’s almost no hope of survival,” Jónsson concluded.

Furthermore, this bill would allow states to circumvent any administration seeking to prohibit the creation of a border barrier. By providing states with federal funding in block grant form, this bill authorizes states to act independently to address their needs. “Since President Biden took office, roughly seven million migrants have unlawfully crossed our southern border, highlighting the need for a defensive barrier,” said Congressman Mike Turner. “The legislation that Chairman McCaul and I have introduced would inhibit the flow of illegal migration by providing southwestern states with federal grant funding to construct or repair existing physical barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border. The United States is facing its greatest risk of a terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11, and the porous state of the southern border represents a significant threat to our country’s security posture. To make certain that our communities are protected against violent criminals and illicit drugs like fentanyl, we must secure the border.” “The Biden administration’s refusal to secure our border has led to terrorism threat levels unlike anything we’ve seen since 9/11, with ‘blinking red lights everywhere,’ to quote FBI Director Wray. As a lifelong Texan, a former federal prosecutor, and a national security chairman, I take that warning extremely seriously,” said Congressman Michael McCaul. “Our bill would provide states with the resources to do what President Biden should have done long ago: close the holes along the border and stop the constant flow of threats into the interior.” Background: Since J… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:01:11Z

https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2656 Balderson Pushes Back on Biden's LNG Export Project Ban 2024-05-02 2024 2024-05 Republican House OH Troy Balderson B001306 balderson.house.gov balderson https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27&Page=4 scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Troy Balderson (OH-12) confronted Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Jennifer Granholm on the Biden Administration’s dangerous decision to halt liquified natural gas (LNG) export projects during her appearance before the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Energy, Climate, and Grid Security on Wednesday. The LNG export ban is seen by both conservatives and progressives alike as an election year political stunt. Yet, Secretary Granholm and the DOE defend the decision by warning LNG exports may raise the price of energy for domestic consumers in the future. Balderson countered the administration’s argument by pointing to decades of data indicating the stability of natural gas prices since the first American LNG export terminal began operation in 2016. To shield consumers from escalating energy costs, Balderson proposed that the Biden Administration reassess its inflationary policies, which have already devastated families in Ohio and across America. Below is the exchange between Balderson and Granholm: Rep. Balderson: “Secretary Granholm, I just want to follow up on a point you raised both earlier this morning and during your budget hearing with the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources a few weeks ago. You’ve expressed concerns about the impact increasing LNG exports may have on domestic natural gas prices. That concern is one of the reasons your department went forward with the pause on approving new LNG exports—is that correct?” Sec. Granholm: “It’s one of the issues that are being researched by the national labs as we consider what’s in the public interest.” Rep. Balderson: “Thank you, I’d like to follow up on the concern. Since 2016, we’ve increased our LNG export capacity from zero to over 11 billion cubic feet per day. We’re now the world’s top LNG exporter. And guess what—the [price] of natural gas has remained stable and affordable. In fact, the current Henry Hub spot price is well below two dollars and is lower now than at any point between 2000 to when we… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T18:12:30Z
https://davidson.house.gov/2024/5/rep-warren-davidson-introduces-the-justice-for-vaccine-injured-veterans-act Rep. Warren Davidson Introduces The Justice For Vaccine Injured Veterans Act 2024-05-02 2024 2024-05 Republican House OH Warren Davidson D000626 davidson.house.gov davidson https://davidson.house.gov/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C.— Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) introduced the Justice For Vaccine Injured Veterans Act today, alongside 22 other House colleagues. This legislation allows service members to receive disability compensation for any vaccine injuries they may have developed under the Department of Defense’s unjust COVID-19 mandate. "COVID-19 posed limited risks to young, fit, healthy people. Nevertheless, Joe Biden’s Department of Defense mandated that our nation’s warriors be vaccinated or forced out. Sadly, some of them have become vaccine-injured veterans due to adverse effects. Our nation has a moral obligation to care for them. This bill makes that happen.” said Rep. Davidson (R-OH) The Justice For Vaccine Injured Veterans Act is cosponsored by Reps. Griffith, Crane, Bishop, Posey, Moore (AL), Nehls, Weber, Biggs Harshbarger, Massie, Greene, Rosendale, Steube, Mast, Burlison, Miller (IL), Dunn, Boebert, Carey, Fallon, Luna, and Gosar. Background: In August 2021, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin issued a memorandum entitled, “Mandatory Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination of Department of Defense Service Members.” This memo demanded the full vaccination of all members of the Armed Forces. More than 8,400 service members refused to comply with this mandate and were forced out of the military. In addition, reasonable exemptions from the vaccine mandate, such as religious beliefs, were virtually all ignored or rejected. However, Secretary Austin called this mandate “enormously successful” as they hit a 98 percent vaccination rate by December 2021. In January 2023, Secretary Austin was forced to rescind this memorandum. Nevertheless, service members who complied with the vaccines were susceptible to potential side effects of the vaccine. This legislation corrects this injustice and allows service members to be made whole by: Amending 38 USC Chapter 11 to add certain COVID-19 vaccine-related injuries as presumptive conditions. If an individual has a presumptive condition, then they only need to meet the servic… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T18:12:30Z
