https://taylor.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-taylor-applauds-202-million-awarded-ohio-through-president-trumps Congressman Taylor Applauds $202 Million Awarded to Ohio Through President Trump’s Rural Health Transformation Program 2025-12-29 2025 2025-12 Republican House OH David J. Taylor T000490 taylor.house.gov taylor https://taylor.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Dave Taylor (OH-02) today applauded the allocation of $202 million from the federal Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) to the state of Ohio. This funding will support Ohio’s multi-year plan to strengthen rural hospitals and clinics, expand access to primary and behavioral health services, modernize health care infrastructure, and improve health outcomes for families in rural areas across the state. “For too long, rural Buckeye communities have faced unique health challenges in terms of outcomes and access, and it’s time to level the playing field,” said Congressman Taylor. “President Trump’s Rural Health Transformation Program will dramatically improve health outcomes for thousands of Ohioans, and I’m grateful for this Administration’s leadership in this area. I will continue advocating on behalf of my constituents and applaud this program as a historic step in the right direction.” Background: The Rural Health Transformation Program was established by President Trump under the Working Families Tax Cut Act to transform health care outcomes in rural regions across the U.S. Administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the RHTP represents the largest targeted investment in rural health infrastructure and services in American history. The RHTP allocates a total of $50 billion over five fiscal years (FY2026-FY2030), with $10 billion being made available per year. Congressman Taylor led a letter to Governor Mike DeWine with Representatives Jim Jordan (OH-04), Michael Rulli (OH-06), and Warren Davidson (OH-08) applauding the newly-created Rural Health Transformation Program on October 6, 2025. This letter urged Governor DeWine to direct funds toward initiatives that support independent rural hospitals, rural Federally Qualified Health Centers, and creative solutions to address health care gaps across rural Ohio. ### 1 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z

Mike Carey (R-Ohio-15), a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, led a group of 18 House lawmakers in a letter to U.S. Treasury Secretary and Acting Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner Scott Bessent asking him to review and update guidance on the taxation of staking rewards before the 2026 tax year begins. This letter was first reported by Decrypt on December 19, 2025. “Taxing staking rewards at the time of their sale is critical to ensuring that stakers are taxed based on a correct statement of their actual economic gain, are able to hold their staking rewards throughout the year without facing unreasonable tax risk in the event of price changes, and finally will make compliance feasible as opposed to an administrative nightmare for taxpayers and the Service alike. Millions of Americans own tokens on these networks. Network security and American leadership – requires those taxpayers to stake those tokens, but today the administrative burden and prospect of over taxation discourages that participation,” the lawmakers wrote. BACKGROUND: Staking is a way for crypto owners to contribute to a blockchain network while receiving additional crypto in return for helping the network run more efficiently. Due to the misled IRS guidance from the previous administration, staking rewards are currently taxed twice: when they are received, and when they are sold. Like those who mine gold or anything else, cryptocurrency miners and stakers are the first owners of this new property. This is yet another way in which the Biden administration worked to hinder the development of the digital asset sector. This letter is simply requesting fair tax treatment for digital assets and ending the double taxation of staking rewards is a big step in the right direction. Statements of support for Rep. Carey’s letter from crypto industry leaders can be found below: “Mining and staking are fundamental to securing public blockchains like Solana. The U.S. tax code should encourage this criti… 1 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z

Taylor T000490 taylor.house.gov taylor https://taylor.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Dave Taylor (OH-02) and Congresswoman Shontel Brown (OH-11) today introduced the bipartisan Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Advisory Committee Improvement Act, which will allow each of the five existing CFTC advisory committees to operate equally, eliminating unnecessary complexity and empowering the CFTC to operate more efficiently. “The five CFTC Advisory Committees exist to guide and inform the CFTC on critical policy matters, not create unnecessary complications through red tape and bureaucracy,” said Congressman Taylor. “My bill will create consistency within the advisory committee structure so that stakeholders can focus on recommending policy solutions in their areas of expertise. This bill will allow the CFTC to more efficiently serve Americans and stop the government from putting mud in the gears of farmers, investors, and businesses with needlessly complicated rules.” “The CFTC Advisory Committee Improvement Act is about good governance: consumers and investors need a CFTC that operates efficiently and listens to the people it serves. This legislation ensures that the CFTC has a more consistent and transparent framework to carry out its mission. I’m proud to co-lead this bipartisan effort with Congressman Taylor to implement practical solutions to improve the CFTC,” said Congresswoman Brown. Background: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is the federal regulatory agency that oversees U.S. commodity markets, including the buying and selling of corn, soybeans, oil, and many other products. Many farmers and businesses across the country interact with the CFTC daily as they market grain or hedge risk. The CFTC plays a critical role in ensuring market integrity and transparency to allow trading to happen without the risk of being defrauded. The CFTC currently has five advisory committees consisting of stakeholders who provide valuable input to the CFTC on their respective issues, including agriculture, energy and environmental markets, global marke… 1 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z

It is my honor to represent Ohio’s servicemembers and their families in the United States Senate.” Senator Moreno’s FY26 NDAA wins: 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z

I’m proud to work across the aisle with Senator Coons to ensure law enforcement has the resources they need to fight back and protect our communities.” “Auto thefts harm us on a personal level, a community level, and a state and national level,” said Senator Coons. “When your car gets stolen, you lose not just your way to get to work and school, but your sense of security. Meanwhile, the proceeds from your car often fund other, more dangerous crimes, cartels, and gangs. This bipartisan bill gives local law enforcement the tools and expertise they need to find stolen cars, take money out of the hands of criminals, and give families back their sense of security.” The bill directs the Department of Justice’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) to create an auto theft prevention grant program that would be awarded to states that demonstrate a need for federal assistance. Grant funds could be used for equipment purchases, hiring and training officers and support staff, overtime and compensation costs, joint task forces, and data collection and research. The Auto Theft Prevention Act is endorsed by ASCIA and the Major County Sheriffs of America (MCSA). 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z

Three of those servicemembers were part of the Ohio Air National Guard. “Our nation is forever grateful to Capt. Koval, Capt. Angst, and Master Sgt. Simmons for their commitment to defending freedom,” said Balderson. “They answered the call to serve—and did so with courage and selflessness. We grieve alongside their families, stand with their fellow servicemembers, and remain forever indebted for their sacrifice.” “The tragic deaths of six Airmen during a combat mission in the Middle East is a devastating loss for our country and our communities here in Ohio. My prayers are with the Gold Star families grieving their loved ones. America is protected by brave heroes who volunteer to serve, and their sacrifice will not be forgotten,” said Carey. Servicemembers from the 121st Air Refueling Wing at Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base in Columbus, OH, were Capt. Seth R. Koval, Capt. Curtis J. Angst, and Master Sgt. Tyler H. Simmons. From the 99th Air Refueling Squadron in Birmingham, AL, were Maj. John A. Klinner, Capt. Ariana G. Savino, and Tech. Sgt. Ashley B. Pruitt.

Mike Carey (R-Ohio-15) and Judy Chu (D-Calif.-28) and U.S. Senators Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) reintroduced the Connecting Caregivers to Medicare Act. This bipartisan, bicameral legislation will assist family caregivers, improve coordination between caregivers and Medicare beneficiaries, and make it easier for caregivers to access pertinent health information. “We can help family caregivers, who already bear other personal, professional, and medical responsibilities and worries, by easing the conveyance of assistance and resources to them through 1-800-Medicare,” Rep. Carey said. “This legislation is bipartisan, bicameral, and straightforward. I am committed to finding ways to help millions of caregivers coordinate the delivery of benefits and medical care to their loved ones.” “Family caregivers shoulder enormous responsibility while helping loved ones navigate Medicare, yet too often they face confusing systems, long wait times, and language barriers when trying to get basic information,” Rep. Chu said. “That’s why I’m joining Rep. Carey and Sens. Hassan and Tillis to reintroduce the bipartisan, bicameral Connecting Caregivers to Medicare Act. Our bill would strengthen Medicare’s support for caregivers by expanding outreach about available caregiver resources, improving training for 1-800-MEDICARE operators, ensuring caregivers can access accurate information when beneficiaries authorize them to do so, and making this information available in non-English languages. By improving coordination and communication, this bill helps reduce unnecessary stress for caregivers and supports better care for seniors.” “Caregivers carry a tremendous burden while caring for loved ones, and I know first-hand that caregivers too often face unnecessary barriers when trying to coordinate care,” Senator Tillis said. “I’m proud to introduce this bipartisan legislation with Senator Hassan to enable caregivers to better advocate for their loved ones and make it easier for ca… 1 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z

Taylor T000490 taylor.house.gov taylor https://taylor.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Representative Dave Taylor (OH-02) and Representatives Shomari Figures (AL-02), Harriet Hageman (WY-AL), Pat Harrigan (NC-10), Doug LaMalfa (CA-01), and Mary Miller (IL-15) today announced their roles as Co-Chairs in the launch of the bipartisan Congressional Trucking Caucus. This caucus will provide an organized forum to address a variety of issues related to America’s trucking industry and the policies that promote integrity, safety, and growth in the industry, as well as an educational resource for caucus members. This marks the first Congressional Trucking Caucus in United States history. “Generating nearly $906 billion in revenue in 2024, America’s trucking industry powers our economy by creating 8.4 million jobs and securing American supply chains,” said Representative Taylor. “After several tragic accidents occurred recently because of CDL drivers who could not read the road signs, it’s evident that change is needed to protect American lives on the road. I’m proud to launch the Congressional Trucking Caucus alongside my colleagues to create a forum for discussing policy solutions to keep all drivers safe on American roads, support hardworking truck drivers, and ensure the accessibility of reliable transportation across our Nation.” "America literally runs on the wheels of our truckers. I am proud to join this bipartisan effort to prioritize this industry that is the lifeline of our country,” said Representative Figures. “Alabama’s 2nd Congressional District is home to the Port of Mobile, which is now the deepest in the Gulf. Trucking will be essential to maximizing the port’s potential, so it is imperative that we recognize how important trucking is to our economy, national resilience, and everyday lives.” "American truckers are the backbone of our supply chain.

Rulli R000619 rulli.house.gov rulli https://rulli.house.gov/category/press-releases/ scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Rep. Mike Rulli (OH-06) and Rep. Greg Stanton (AZ-04) introduced the Continuous Skilled Nursing (CSN) Quality Improvement Act, a bipartisan piece of legislation to roll back outdated federal red tape that has prevented skilled nurses from tending to the at-home patients that need it. The bill is the House companion to legislation led in the Senate by Sens. Thom Tillis (R-NC), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Dan Sullivan (R-AK), and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV). Together, the measures are aimed at simplifying federal rules so that continuous skilled nursing services can keep pace with how modern care is delivered: one-on-one, highly specialized support in the home for children and adults with complex medical needs. “The care provided by continuous skilled nursing is what allows many Ohioans with disabilities and complex medical conditions to remain at home while getting the care they need,” said Congressman Rulli. “Right now, federal regulations written for a different era are preventing families from accessing specialized, in-home nursing and pushing providers out of the program. This bipartisan legislation makes sure the law no longer stands in the way of lifesaving services and recognizes the unique, one-on-one work nurses do to help patients thrive at home.” “Continuous skilled nursing services are a lifeline for Arizonans with complex medical conditions and disabilities, letting patients stay at home while getting the one-on-one care they need,” Rep. Stanton added. “But too often providers run into a maze of outdated rules that simply don’t fit the care being delivered today. Our bipartisan legislation will advance patient care and remove provider red tape, and I look forward to working with Congressman Rulli to pass it into law.” Continuous skilled nursing services provide intensive, around-the-clock care in the home for children and individuals who rely on ventilators, feeding tubes, seizure management, and other complex supports.

Taylor T000490 taylor.house.gov taylor https://taylor.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Dave Taylor (OH-02) today applauded the House passage of his Confidence in Clean Water Permits Act, which was included in H.R. 3898, the Promoting Efficient Review for Modern Infrastructure Today (PERMIT) Act, by a vote of 221-205. The PERMIT Act includes multiple pieces of legislation that provide regulatory certainty and relief for American businesses. “For decades, American businesses have felt a stringent regulatory burden thanks to murky guidelines and unclear rules,” said Congressman Taylor. “My Confidence in Clean Water Permits Act, included in the PERMIT Act, will provide much-needed clarity on the vague wastewater disposal requirements at the EPA to ensure American businesses and wastewater facilities aren’t penalized for following the rules. This is common-sense legislation, and I’m proud to see the House of Representatives pass it today on a bipartisan basis.” Background The Confidence in Clean Water Permits Act states that businesses and wastewater treatment plants that are acting in good faith within their permit guidelines cannot be held liable for the impermissible discharge of unknown chemicals. The bill details that the EPA, not businesses themselves, possesses the ultimate responsibility to test and provide guidance for the detection of possible environmental pollutants. This bill would protect small businesses and organizations that are under attack by the government and third-party environmental groups. Other members of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee who had provisions from previously-introduced legislation incorporated into the PERMIT Act are Subcommittee Chairman Mike Collins (R-GA) and Representatives Rick Crawford (R-AR), David Rouzer (R-NC), Doug LaMalfa (R-CA), Pete Stauber (R-MN), Dusty Johnson (R-SD), Burgess Owens (R-UT), Eric Burlison (R-MO), Jeff Hurd (R-CO), Jefferson Shreve (R-IN), and Jimmy Patronis (R-FL).

Taylor T000490 taylor.house.gov taylor https://taylor.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Dave Taylor (OH-02) and Congressman Brad Finstad (MN-01) today introduced the bicameral Main Street Lending Improvement Act of 2025, which would require a study on the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) loan-making process to collect data on its current operation in Appalachia and ultimately streamline the process for Appalachian businesses. Senator Jim Justice (R-WV) introduced a Senate companion to this bill today. “For too long, small businesses across the Appalachian region have struggled to access services provided by the Small Business Administration. My bill, the Main Street Lending Improvement Act of 2025, will work to improve SBA efficiency and ensure all businesses have access to vital SBA services,” said Congressman Taylor. “As a third-generation small business owner, I’ve seen firsthand where the federal government has failed to provide resources for our small businesses, and I am committed to addressing these issues in Congress so Ohio families and communities can thrive.” “Small businesses are the backbone of local communities in southern Minnesota. Too often, government red tape and inefficiency make it difficult for entrepreneurs to access the tools they need to grow,” said Congressman Finstad. “The Main Street Lending Improvement Act identifies where the government has fallen short in the loan-making process and works to address these delays, ensuring small businesses across the country have timely financing to build stronger futures.” “I’m a business guy at heart, and I’ve always said I want to help our small businesses because they’re the ones that keep our state and our country moving. This bill gets us under the hood of the SBA’s loan programs so we can accelerate the time it takes to get resources out the door of Washington and onto the storefront of Main Street. President Trump and Administrator Loeffler have already done fantastic work to strengthen the Small Business Administration – this bill builds on that momentum to make sure these loan programs tr… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z

I am willing to work with anyone to finally bring down costs for all Americans and hope my colleagues across the aisle will commit to doing the same.” “Families in Maine and across the country are struggling with the high cost of health care, and we need to pursue practical solutions that increase affordability without creating sudden disruptions in coverage,” said Senator Collins. “This bill would help prevent unaffordable increases in health insurance premium costs for many families by extending the Affordable Care Act enhanced premium tax credits for two years and putting a reasonable income cap on these subsidies to ensure they are going to the individuals who need them.” Senator Moreno’s CARE Act will provide a temporary Affordable Care Act premium tax credit extension by giving Americans a two-year glidepath off the COVID-era subsidies, end premium tax credits once household income hits $200,000, and require a $25 per month premium. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z

This interstate would promote connectivity, safety, and economic growth throughout Ohio’s southern region. Senator Bernie Moreno (R-OH), Senator Jon Husted (R-OH), and Representatives Marcy Kaptur (OH-09), Robert Latta (OH-05), Jim Jordan (OH-04), Joyce Beatty (OH-03), Mike Carey (OH-15), Greg Landsman (OH-01), Michael Turner (OH-10), Shontel Brown (OH-11), Max Miller (OH-07), and Troy Balderson (OH-12) joined Congressman Taylor in this letter. “For too long, southern Ohio has lacked a central interstate to facilitate safe and reliable transportation for local businesses, truckers carrying goods and materials, and rural patients seeking healthcare,” said Congressman Taylor. “An I-73 corridor would increase the United States’ and Ohio’s supply chain resilience, revitalize local family businesses, and bridge the gap between rural and urban communities.

Mike Carey (R-Ohio-15) and Greg Landsman (D-Ohio-01) reintroduced the New Opportunities for Business Ownership and Self-Sufficiency (NO BOSS) Act to support individuals as they pursue small business ownership. The bill makes improvements to the underutilized Self-Employment Assistance (SEA) Program, making state participation less onerous and encouraging greater participation. “Small businesses and pioneering entrepreneurs are the engine of our economy, but making the leap from unemployment to self-employment is risky,” Rep. Carey said. “Americans shouldn’t be forced to choose between unemployment insurance and working on their next big idea. This bill makes it easier to start and sustain a small business, and I am proud to once again lead this effort.” “This is a real unique opportunity to help unemployed individuals start a business with dignity. By making commonsense changes to the program, we can empower entrepreneurship and give people who are passionate about building a business the support they need to make it a reality,” Rep. Landsman said. “Building a business today means keeping up with constant change, from AI reshaping industries to customers expecting everything to be digital-first,” Alexandra Clark, Shopify Vice President of Public Affairs, said. “The hard part isn’t coming up with an idea, it’s having the support and confidence to actually start. Policies like the NO BOSS Act will help more aspiring entrepreneurs bet on themselves and make being their own boss a first choice, not a fallback.” “Research shows that entrepreneurs and the companies they create remain the primary engines of innovation, economic dynamism, and virtually all net new job creation, making it more important than ever to align policies like unemployment insurance with the needs of a modern, entrepreneurial economy.

The initiative resets the unworkable corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards that were raised under the Biden Administration in a push to phase out gas-powered vehicles and create a de facto electric vehicle (EV) mandate. If left in place, the Biden-era standards would have raised car prices, increased U.S. reliance on China, and restricted consumer choice. “Americans shouldn’t be forced into expensive electric vehicles they can’t afford—yet that’s exactly what the Biden administration tried to do,” said Balderson. “Republicans in Congress have already made tremendous progress to roll back EV mandates and cut and lower costs for working Americans through the Working Families Tax Cuts. I applaud President Trump and his administration for continuing to right-size regulations and lower costs for the American people.” Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed into law in July, Congress eliminated key enforcement mechanisms for Biden’s heightened CAFE standards. Today’s announcement resets those standards to a common-sense level that keeps new vehicle prices within reach while supporting continued improvements in fuel efficiency. ### 1 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z

In this case, we can improve the current system by giving more flexibility to Local Workforce Development Boards who best know what their communities need. By doing this, the Workforce Flexibility Act will allow more young people to access high-quality career pathway programs.” “The Air Conditioning Contractors of America appreciates Congressman Taylor’s leadership in promoting a skilled workforce by introducing the Workforce Flexibility Act. This legislation seeks to provide state workforce boards with greater flexibility in allocating their limited WIOA resources. ACCA supports this approach because we understand how unique the challenges facing each state’s labor force are,” said President and CEO Barton James of the Air Conditioning Contractors of America. “The University applauds Congressman Taylor’s Workforce Flexibility Act and looks forward to working with Congress to ensure that WIOA and other federal efforts are supporting innovative efforts in workforce development that engage institutions of higher education, particularly four-year institutions,” said Michelle Clare, Dean of Co-operative Education and Professional Studies and Vice Provost for Continuing Education at the University of Cincinnati. “The Workforce Flexibility Act empowers states and local leaders to direct workforce resources where they’re most needed,” said Kri… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z

The Curtailing Litigation Excess and Abuse Reform Act of 2025 (CLEAR Act) eliminates excessive litigation against energy projects while maintaining stringent environmental standards. Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) has introduced companion legislation in the Senate. “Activist groups have long weaponized our legal system to attack promising energy projects, filing lawsuit after lawsuit to grind progress to a halt. The CLEAR Act puts a end to this serial litigation,” said Congressman Balderson. “To unleash American energy, lower costs, and strengthen our energy security, we must restore predictability and common sense to our permitting system.” “Cutting-edge American energy infrastructure is critical for everything from lowering energy costs to winning the AI race,” said Senator Cotton. “Unfortunately, these projects often get delayed by frivolous litigation. My bill will end this nonsense and streamline the process to restore American energy dominance.” The CLEAR Act would: Ensure that once a court has ruled on an energy project, opponents can’t drag it back into court repeatedly. Prevent activist groups from filing serial lawsuits to block projects they oppose ideologically, while still preserving legitimate avenues for oversight and enforcement. Enable critical energy infrastructure to be built faster by limiting costly delays. Create certainty for investors and communities. Maintain exceptions for certain lawsuits after a project is running. Support America’s energy independence, grid reliability, and access to critical minerals needed for modern technology.

Taylor T000490 taylor.house.gov taylor https://taylor.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Dave Taylor (OH-02) applauded two of his community project funding requests passing in the recent government funding package, H.R. 5371, which passed the House of Representatives on November 12th. The funding was included in the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies section of the bill. “I’m pleased to announce the return of nearly $2 million of taxpayer dollars to southern Ohio, delivered directly through the passage of two of my Fiscal Year 2026 Community Project Funding requests," said Congressman Taylor. “In regions like ours in rural Appalachia, Ohioans are forced to travel long distances in order to receive the care they need. These federal dollars will help bridge the gap in healthcare accessibility for the most rural Americans so that no one is left without sufficient care.” “We’re incredibly grateful for Congressman Taylor’s leadership in securing this critical investment for rural health care,” said Kathi Edrington, Adena Health president and CEO. “This funding will help us expand Adena’s internal EMS fleet, which reduces wait times for patients needing transport, improves operational efficiency for staff, and increases the availability of rooms for our patients and their families. It’s a win for everyone we serve across south central and southern Ohio.” "Holzer is absolutely thrilled to be included as a recipient of funding from the federal government for updating our infrastructure to allow us to consolidate our health system laboratory operations. The consolidation also allows for a domino effect of space utilization, thus enhancing our ability to better serve our patients in behavioral health,” said Holzer Health System CEO Dr. Rodney Stout. “Without this funding, Holzer has routinely delayed the development and implementation of the consolidation solely due to funding. We greatly appreciate Congressman Taylor’s, Senator Husted’s, and Senator Moreno’s support and providing time and energy to understand the challenges face… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:52:45Z
https://davidson.house.gov/2025/11/rep-warren-davidson-introduces-the-bitcoin-for-america-act Rep. Warren Davidson Introduces the Bitcoin For America Act 2025-11-20 2025 2025-11 Republican House OH Warren Davidson D000626 davidson.house.gov davidson https://davidson.house.gov/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) introduced the Bitcoin for America Act to allow Americans to pay federal taxes in Bitcoin and direct all such payments into the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. This measure will strengthen long-term national financial resilience and position the U.S. at the forefront of global digital asset leadership. “The Bitcoin for America Act marks an important step toward modernizing our financial systems and embracing the innovation that millions of Americans already use every day,” said Rep. Warren Davidson. “By allowing taxpayers to pay federal taxes in Bitcoin and having the proceeds placed into the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, the nation will benefit by having a tangible asset that appreciates in value over time—unlike the U.S. dollar, which has steadily lost value under inflationary pressures. This bill will give the American people more choice in paying their taxes as well as give our government a stronger financial foundation. The Bitcoin for America Act will position our country to lead—not follow—as the world navigates the future of sound money and digital innovation.” Background: Bitcoin’s fixed 21 million-coin supply creates scarcity, giving it a strong long-term record of appreciation versus inflationary currencies. Depositing Bitcoin payments into the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve will diversify U.S. assets and creates a durable, independent store of value. Other major nations, including China and Russia, are already accumulating Bitcoin, and this policy will ensure the U.S. doesn’t fall behind in global financial competition. Bitcoin’s decentralized, permissionless system expands financial access, allowing more Americans—including the unbanked—to participate and pay federal taxes. Bitcoin’s independence from inflationary monetary policy allows the Reserve to protect against dollar erosion and long-term economic risk. A Strategic Bitcoin Reserve strengthens the national balance sheet and reduces the nation’s reliance on debt. Watch my full conversation with t… 1 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z

Taylor T000490 taylor.house.gov taylor https://taylor.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Dave Taylor (OH-02), Congresswoman Harriet Hageman (WY-AL), and Congressman Greg Steube (FL-17) today introduced the Commercial Motor Vehicle English Proficiency Act, which would require all testing required to earn a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) to be conducted in English. This bill is the House Companion bill to S. 2114, which was introduced in the Senate by Senators Roger Marshall (R-KS), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), and John Barrasso (R-WY) on June 18, 2025. Representatives Buddy Carter (GA-01), Tracey Mann (KS-01), Derrick Van Orden (WI-03), Mary Miller (IL-15), and Paul Gosar (AZ-09) joined Congressman Taylor as cosponsors of this legislation. Under current law, the process to obtain a CDL requires only that the road skills test be administered in English, while the knowledge test can be conducted in any language. Unfortunately, states like California and Washington have used this authority to administer CDLs to individuals with no or little understanding of the English language, leading to drivers failing to understand road signs and taking innocent lives on American roads. By requiring the entire process of obtaining a CDL to be conducted in English, the Commercial Motor Vehicle English Proficiency Act would ensure that only those who can understand English enough to comprehend road signs can obtain CDL licensure. “It’s a no-brainer – if you want to drive an 80,000-pound vehicle on American roads, you should be able to read the road signs,” said Congressman Taylor. “Ohio families should be able to get in their cars without fear of being in a tragic collision at the hands of a driver of a heavy vehicle who can’t understand critical warning signs. This bill will ensure safety for everyone and prevent any more innocent American lives from being lost.” "Our bill ensures the CDL knowledge test is administered only in English, closing dangerous loopholes.

The conversation included the Trump administration’s work to make everyday life more affordable for Americans, their work to end illegal immigration, the impact of tariffs to revive American manufacturing, and the Trump Doctrine to protect the Western Hemisphere. Senator Moreno’s appearance followed Vice President JD Vance’s remarks with Breitbart’s Washington Bureau Chief, Matthew Boyle. Watch the full event HERE. On Republicans work to make America more affordable: “The gut punch that the working-class took in this country over the four years of Biden can’t be overstated. They totally and completely gutted our working class. They brought in millions, ten plus million foreign workers, caused a housing crisis, caused an insurance crisis, [and] caused a food crisis. Then they did all the things that they did during Covid, which just created an incredible amounts of depression among young people. Raised the price of automobiles. Now one of the things we have to be straighter with the American public is fixing that four years of total, complete disaster was not going to happen in a couple of months. So, what we have to do though, is move with total and complete urgency to make that happen. I believe that’s the good news, certainly I can speak for the Senate Republicans, is we are driving towards that at 100 miles an hour.” On President Trump’s tariffs reviving American manufacturing: “The experts have been so catastrophically wrong this year. Look you go back to Liberation Day in April. You remember what they said? ‘The economy was going to collapse. This is going to be a 1929 depression. America’s over. This is it.

Whereas Democrats sat on this information for the past four years, Republicans are bringing it into the light to ensure justice for victims, and I was proud to vote to release the Epstein files today.” Specifically, this bill will: Require the Department of Justice (DOJ) to publish all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials within its possession pertaining to the investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein, including: Materials related to Ghislaine Maxwell; Flight logs and travel records, and; Individuals named or referenced, including government officials, connected to the investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein. Require the DOJ to report to Congress, no later than 15 days after the publication: All categories of information that were released or withheld; A summary of any redactions made, and; A list of all government officials and politically exposed individuals named or referenced in the published materials. ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:52:45Z

The final vote was 222-209 with bipartisan support. Today’s legislative package also includes three bipartisan appropriations bills to fund certain government agencies through the end of Fiscal Year 2026 (FY 26), including more than $5 million for Ohio projects that Rep. Carey personally secured. “I proudly voted to reopen the government after a record-long, needless government shutdown that hurt families in Ohio. The bipartisan package that we passed today fully funds critical programs like SNAP and makes sure federal workers, including our Air Traffic Controllers, get paid, as I have been advocating for since the shutdown began more than a month ago,” Rep. Carey said. “I was also happy that this bill marks a step forward in returning to the regular appropriations process and included funding for critical projects in Ohio that I fought to deliver. I voted to keep the government open in September because I knew the harm a shutdown could inflict on Ohio families, and I am glad to see the hardship ending for our communities.” Further details on the funding legislation: This legislation fully funds the government through the end of January 2026 and includes paychecks for federal workers as well as funding for programs like SNAP and Head Start. This legislation includes a package to fund three individual appropriations bills: Legislative Branch, Agriculture-Food and Drug Administration, and the Department of Veterans Affairs-Military Construction through the end of FY 26.

Thankfully, Speaker Johnson prevailed and Democrats failed to extort the American people,” said Rep. Warren Davidson. “This CR isn’t perfect, but I’m optimistically voting in support of it so we can reopen the government and get back to work for the American people. Hopefully, not giving in to Democrats’ ransom demands and reopening the government will rally House Republicans to finish appropriations before Christmas.” Background On September 19, House Republicans passed a continuing resolution (CR) to keep the government funded while we worked to pass each of the appropriations bills. In the Senate, the CR needed 60 votes to pass. Unfortunately, Senate Democrats were focused on political theatrics and voted over a dozen times to keep the government shutdown. This led to the Schumer Shutdown lasting more than 40 days—the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. A handful of Senate Democrats eventually came to their senses and joined Senate Republicans pass a minibus bill, which included three appropriations bills as well as the CR to reopen the government until January 30. The minibus bill was then sent back to the House, which passed it by a vote of 222 to 209. ### 1 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z

This bill would make defrauding the United States or unlawfully obtaining benefits intended for U.S. taxpayers deportable offenses and grounds for inadmissibility under the Immigration and Nationality Act. “The last Administration’s open border policies put our communities at risk and made every state a border state. Under President Trump, Republicans are bringing back common sense. If an illegal alien defrauds the United States or steals benefits from our country’s most vulnerable, it should be a no-brainer that they be permanently removed from the United States,” said Congressman Taylor. “Law-abiding, hard-working Ohioans should not have their tax dollars stolen by illegal aliens who then walk free in our Nation, and I’m proud to champion this bill in the House as Senator Cruz leads the charge in the Senate.” “Americans who meet eligibility requirements should be the only ones to receive taxpayer-funded benefits,” said Senator Cruz, “Under the Biden administration’s border policies, abuse of these programs by illegal aliens increased. This bill will stem that abuse, and I urge my colleagues to pass this bill without delay.” “Illegal aliens who falsify documents, steal identities, and cheat the system to gain public benefits meant for American citizens, including SNAP or Medicaid, should unquestionably be deported. By ensuring any illegal alien who defrauds the U.S. government can be removed from our country, this commonsense legislation would end the America-last policies of Joe Biden and rightfully put Americans first,” said Senator Cornyn. “For too long, illegal aliens have taken advantage of and burdened our bloated welfare system, contributing to waste, fraud, and abuse.

And, apparently, the best you could do to alleviate concerns of both the students and parents was send an email to parents where it was indicated that a number of steps were taken to ensure that students and staff are able to operate without additional disruption. This is absolutely unacceptable.” Read the letter HERE or below. October 24, 2025 The Honorable Maggie A. Cook President Mentor Board of Education 6451 Center St. Mentor, OH 44060 Dear President Cook, I write to you today, not only as a United States Senator, but as a parent, which is the most important job I will ever have. I am absolutely repulsed to learn that a 15-year-old Mentor High School student was arrested last week on child pornography charges. Yet, even worse, I am revolted to learn that you may have allowed a potential sex offender, who was charged with 36 felony counts, including pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor, back onto Mentor Public School property. As not only the senior Senator of our great state, but as a dad myself, the most important thing I can do is protect Ohio’s children.

Mike Carey (R-Ohio-15), a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, joined Ohio business leaders at the Ohio Chamber of Commerce for a roundtable discussion to identify economic growth potential in Columbus and across Ohio. During the meeting, Rep. Carey emphasized his vote to prevent a government shutdown and how many of the provisions in the Republican working family tax cuts package will help increase investment, create new jobs, and boost wages for workers and their families. “Thanks to the working family tax cuts package that we passed into law this summer, we prevented the largest tax increase on families in American history and created countless new economic opportunities in Ohio. Unfortunately, the current government shutdown is prohibiting federal workers like our troops and Air Traffic Controllers from getting paid and reaping the benefits of these tax cuts. I hope that my Democrat colleagues in the Senate act soon to reopen the government so that our economy can continue to grow and our great service members can receive their paychecks,” Rep. Carey said. “We appreciate Rep. Carey’s continued leadership on pro-growth tax policy and his commitment to ensuring Ohio businesses remain competitive in a global economy,” Steve Stivers, President and CEO of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, said. “A stable tax environment allows employers to invest, hire and expand, strengthening communities across our state. We’re proud to partner with the U.S. Chamber to advance reforms that drive economic opportunity for all Ohioans.” “Representative Mike Carey continues to be a strong advocate for Ohio’s business community by championing key tax provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” Rodney Davis, Head of Government Affairs at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said. “Smart tax policy helps local employers grow, invest in their workforce, and drive innovation.

Millions of Ohioans rely on SNAP to make ends meet, they shouldn’t be punished because Chuck Schumer and DC Democrats view them as ‘leverage’ in their political war against President Trump,” said Senator Moreno. “I’m proud to team up with my Republican colleagues to protect SNAP since Democrats won’t.” “Needy families in Missouri should not be going hungry because a bunch of politicians in DC can’t figure out how to open the government,” said Senator Hawley. “650,000 people in Missouri depend on help when it comes to the price of food and groceries. I don’t want to see these folks go without food. I hope everybody will support this legislation.” “The Trump Administration has tried to shield the American people from the harmful effects of this Democrat shutdown. But as the shutdown drags on, the reality is the only way to guarantee paychecks for federal employees, keep America’s skies safe for travelers, and ensure critical safety-net programs remain available for Oklahomans in need is to reopen the government. Under President Biden, this same type of clean continuing resolution passed on a bipartisan basis thirteen times. Now, under President Trump, it’s exceptionally disappointing to see Democrats choosing politics over paychecks and the most vulnerable,” Senator Lankford said. “Roughly one in 10 Tennesseans receive SNAP benefits for food assistance, and they shouldn’t have to worry about where their next meal will come from because the Democrats are holding government funding hostage to appease their far-left base,” said Senator Blackburn. “Our Keep SNAP Funded Act would ensure Tennesseans do not miss a… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z

Mike Carey (R-Ohio-15) published an op-ed titled “A Government Shutdown Hurts Ohioans.” The full op-ed can be found below. Title: A Government Shutdown Hurts Ohioans Author: U.S. Rep. Mike Carey (R-Ohio-15) Date: October 22, 2025 Words: 649 On September 19th, I voted to prevent a government shutdown. Unfortunately, not enough Senate Democrats joined Senate Republicans to clear the 60-vote filibuster in the Senate, and we entered into the government shutdown on October 1 that remains ongoing. It didn’t need to be this way. As you may know, Congress passes bills to spend money on federal programs every year. This includes funding for critical services like the military and Air Traffic Controllers, as well as funding grants for projects for things like energy, clean water, and infrastructure here in Central Ohio. When Congress appropriates money for the fiscal year, it ends on September 30th. If Republicans and Democrats are unable to pass bipartisan bills to keep the federal government funded or a continuing resolution (CR) to temporarily extend current funding while negotiations continue, the government shuts down. Typically, if a fiscal deadline approaches before a bipartisan, full funding deal is reached, Republicans and Democrats work together to pass what we call a “clean CR.” A clean CR means we simply extend funding levels into the future with no partisan policy demands attached as a sign of good-faith negotiations between both Democrats and Republicans. This has been the standard way we avoid a government shutdown, and one I was proud to support. Under the previous administration, Congress passed 13 bipartisan, clean CRs to prevent government shutdowns. I, along with House and Senate Republicans, voted for a clean CR to fund the government through November 21 so that we can keep negotiating a full budget with our Democrat colleagues. However, Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, in the Senate have blocked our proposal which forced the government shutdown that we are s… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z

This bill restores regulatory sanity,” said Balderson. “There could be no better gift to all Americans as we approach our 250th birthday than the promise of affordable, reliable and secure energy, for today and for generations to come. “The Affordable, Reliable, Clean Energy Security Act positions the U.S. as the world’s energy leader. It achieves true energy dominance. It directs federal agencies to align their policies with common sense objectives rather than slogans and empty promises. It provides a crucial tool for Congressional oversight.” The bill formally defines three key energy terms for energy regulators: affordable, reliable, and clean. Currently, these terms can be left open to interpretation by the executive branch and can shift from one administration to the next. While President Trump has worked to roll back the previous administration’s Green New Deal agenda, this legislation would make those reversals legally binding. Upon enactment, the legislation would require relevant federal agencies—such as the Department of Energy, Department of the Interior, and the Environmental Protection Agency—to review any actions relating to affordable, reliable, or clean energy within 90 days and submit a report to Congress. The bill guarantees that our most affordable and reliable energy sources, including nuclear and natural gas, remain part of the energy mix – a crucial requirement to guarantee affordable and reliable energy for American households and businesses. Agencies would be directed to ensure that rulemak… 1 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z

The bill prohibits federal funds from being distributed to any state or local government that replaces Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day. It reaffirms the nation’s commitment to recognizing the generations of Italian Americans whose courage, sacrifice, and hard work have helped shape the United States. “For years, the extreme Left has desecrated statues of Christopher Columbus and sought to erase Columbus Day, replacing it with Indigenous Peoples Day,” said Congressman Rulli. “This is not about inclusion, it is about erasing the contributions of millions of Italian Americans who helped build this nation. Indigenous peoples deserve recognition, but this day was created to honor us.” Rulli continued, “Columbus Day was not given, it was earned through struggle and sacrifice. In 1892, President Benjamin Harrison established the holiday after the lynching of eleven innocent Italian Americans in New Orleans, the largest mass lynching in United States history. These were working class men, laborers, and small business owners who were murdered out of hatred and prejudice. Columbus Day was created as an act of national reconciliation and recognition of the Italian American experience. It celebrates exploration, faith, and family, the values that unite us as Americans. To attack Columbus Day is to attack that legacy of perseverance and pride. Italian Americans fought to be recognized as part of the American story, and we will not allow their memory or their day of honor to be erased.” The Italian Heroes and Heritage Act safeguards the legacy of Italian Americans and reaffirms the historical importance of Columbus Day as a national celebration of discovery, perseverance, and cultural pride.

Today marks the ninth day that the government has been shut down since appropriations lapsed on October 1, due to Congress’s inability to pass legislation funding government operations for the new fiscal year as a result of Democrat stonewalling. Congressman Taylor’s remarks from the Tim Young Show are available below. On Democrats prioritizing reckless spending and illegal aliens over Americans Congressman Taylor: “Democrats wanted a clean, short-term CR, which is exactly what House Republicans passed three weeks ago. It’s clean, it’s short-term, and once we delivered that to them, Democrats decided they wanted to add a laundry list of ridiculous demands, including free health care for illegal aliens and added spending. The Working Families Tax Cut Act just got done cutting $1.6 trillion dollars in spending over the next ten years, and now Democrats want to spend $1.5 trillion in the next month and a half. It doesn’t make sense.” Host Tim Young: “Are Ohioans actually paying attention to this nonsense from the Democrats and saying, ‘Hey, enough is enough,’ and realizing that they want to be America First?” Congressman Taylor: “They are, Tim. My district is a very common-sense district. It’s very Appalachian and very agricultural. Schumer is putting hundreds of thousands of people out of a job in a desperate attempt to save his job. He is painting himself into a position where he might not keep it, no matter how he proceeds from here. It’s time to let the American people get back to work.” On the impact on American farmers Host Tim Young: “Your district has a lot of farmers in it.

Taylor T000490 taylor.house.gov taylor https://taylor.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Dave Taylor (OH-02) today announced his role in leading a letter to Governor Mike DeWine celebrating the newly-created $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program. The letter urges the Governor to direct funds toward initiatives that support independent rural hospitals, rural Federally Qualified Health Centers, and creative solutions to address health care gaps across rural Ohio. Ohio Representatives Jim Jordan (OH-04), Michael Rulli (OH-06), and Warren Davidson (OH-08) joined Congressman Taylor in this letter. “The funds from the Rural Health Transformation Program provide an overdue opportunity to bridge the health care gap for rural Ohioans who face unique health challenges in terms of outcomes and access,” said Congressman Taylor. “While Democrats in Washington attempt to eliminate this program as one of their demands to reopen the government, I’m staunchly advocating alongside Republicans for the needs of rural patients and providers. And in southern Ohio, where rural residents skew older, have higher rates of chronic disease, and must travel further for doctor appointments, this program has the potential to dramatically improve health outcomes for thousands of people.” In the last 15 years, over 150 rural hospitals have closed across the United States, with many others facing financial uncertainty, threatening access to care for rural Americans. Established in the Working Families Tax Cut Act and signed into law by President Trump on July 4, 2025, the Rural Health Transformation Program will address the unique challenges facing rural patients and providers across America. Dollars from this program will begin being distributed in 2026 and will be disbursed over the course of five years. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z

If Congress can’t do the bare minimum, we don’t deserve a paycheck.” Unlike federal employees, members of Congress are guaranteed to get paid during a government shutdown. However, Senator Moreno’s SHUTDOWN Act imposes a daily tax on lawmakers which would remain each day that members of Congress are in session and the shutdown continues. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z

Mike Carey (R-Ohio-15), a member of the House Budget and Ways and Means Committees, released the following statement after the bipartisan Continuing Resolution (CR) to fund the government that passed the U.S. House of Representatives on Friday, September 19, failed to pass the Senate before the October 1 fiscal deadline: “The House did its job to prevent a government shutdown and passed a clean CR on a bipartisan basis, which I was proud to support,” Rep. Carey said. “It is unfortunate that so many senators were unwilling to advance our House package to keep the government open. Our CR had no poison pill add-ons or partisan policies attached as a sign of good faith, and its rejection in the Senate means an unnecessary and avoidable government shutdown that hurts the very people we were elected to serve. I strongly encourage my colleagues in the Senate to work with us to quickly and productively to resolve this lapse and restore stability.” # # # 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z

Make no mistake – Republicans did our job while Democrats blocked this stopgap bill in the name of providing free healthcare for illegal aliens, repealing fraud-reduction measures, and cutting the largest investment in rural healthcare in American history. It’s clear that Republicans are the ones who have the backs of our hardworking service members, law enforcement, and American families, while Democrats insist on playing political games to appease their Far Left base. I urge my Democrat colleagues to end this nonsense quickly so our federal government can return to its job of serving the American people.” ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z

As you know, Congress recently enacted Public Law 119-21, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, giving working class families massive tax relief, ending the Green New Scam, and fully funding our border security and national security needs. As part of this law, Congress amended Sections 25E, 30D, and 45W of the tax code, which collectively provide tax credits for the purchase of certain “clean vehicles.” These electric vehicle subsidies were costing taxpayers billions of dollars each year and distorting the market for automakers and dealers across the country, and we are extremely pleased that Congress acted decisively to cut these credits off. The intent of P.L. 119-21 is clear – no credits allowed after September 30, 2025.

September 29, 2025 Mr. Sundar Pichai Chief Executive Officer Google 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043 Dear Mr. Pichai, I write to request information regarding your company’s decision to remove Univision and Telemundo from YouTube TV’s basic television streaming platform and place Univision and Telemundo stations into a “Spanish-only” package that costs $15 more each month than the basic television streaming platform. It is my understanding that if a deal is not reached this week between your company and NBCUniversal, then roughly 10 million paid subscribers in the United States will not have access to either Hispanic broadcast network. Google is effectively placing an 18 percent tax on millions of Hispanic customers—or worse—denying them access to services in a way that could be indicative of serious antitrust violations. This is one recent example of Google abusing its market power to silence these outlets that millions of Hispanic viewers rely on. Unfortunately, I am not surprised to learn a company owned by Google is refusing to provide vital information to its subscribers.

Changing the fiscal calendar to align with the calendar year would allow Congress more time to ensure all government funding continues uninterrupted with the proper funding amounts.” “Today, there are few Members of Congress who will defend the current fiscal year calendar, because regardless of political disagreements, there is simply too much to get done in the compressed window between the release of the President’s budget and the October 1 deadline,” said Congressman Jerry Nadler. “Since Congress shifted the start of the fiscal year to October in 1974, only four times we have completed all appropriations bills on time, the last nearly three decades ago. By aligning the federal fiscal year with the calendar year, Congress can have the time it needs to responsibly review the President’s budget and enact spending bills. This reform will reduce the risk of shutdowns, strengthen fiscal accountability, and improve the way we govern.

Unfortunately, the site’s development is nowhere near where your company said it would be. This was the largest investment in Ohio’s history and was initially projected to create 3,000 Intel jobs and 7,000 construction jobs over the course of building the two factories. The development of the factories was also going to supposedly “support tens of thousands of additional local long-term jobs across a broad ecosystem of suppliers and partners.” Your company estimated that after the two factories were built, the investment in the factories could grow to as much as $100 billion in ten years, making it one of the largest manufacturing sites in the world.

This new working group would draft a report assessing and recommending tangible ways to improve the availability of consistent, accurate, and reliable data in the Drought Monitor. This bill is critical for ensuring the U.S. Drought Monitor remains a source of highly accurate and reliable data for farmers and provides accurate eligibility for federal assistance programs in the case of severe drought. With southern Ohio experiencing unusually high temperatures in the past few summer months, farmers are currently experiencing dry conditions and depend on Drought Monitor data now more than ever. Farmers and other businesses additionally use the Drought Monitor to make other business decisions, such as planting, spraying, or cattle management, further highlighting the importance of its accuracy. “Last year’s devastating drought wiped out months of hard work by Ohio farmers and made it harder for Buckeye families to put food on their tables,” said Congressman Taylor. “Farmers in Ohio and across our Nation trust the U.S. Drought Monitor to contain the most accurate and reliable data, which is exactly why continued improvements to it are essential. I’m proud to be part of the solution to ensure farmers have the accurate data they need to prepare for severe conditions and thrive in our region, and urge Congress to include my bill in the upcoming Farm Bill.” “Ohio’s grain farmers took a hard hit during last year’s drought.

Before heading back from our district work month, House Republicans advanced and enacted President Trump’s America First agenda, a legislative program that puts working Americans first. I was honored to attend county fair opening ceremonies, visit our outstanding universities, and meet with employers to discuss what they need to grow, hire, and keep our young people living right here in the beautiful communities of Ohio’s 6th Congressional District. Many of our local businesses shared their excitement about the pro-growth provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill which highlighted lower tax rates for small businesses, permanent 100% expensing for new equipment, relief from crushing regulations, and expanded opportunity zones that will drive new investment right here at home. These reforms are already creating new opportunities and giving our hometown companies the confidence to expand. I also spent time listening to constituents about their top concerns, especially the safety of our families and the urgent fight to stop the flow of deadly drugs like fentanyl that have devastated our communities for far too long. President Trump fulfilled his promise to secure the border and put an end to these violent criminals trafficking drugs. The One Big Beautiful Bill strengthens this effort by funding 3,000 new Border Patrol agents, 5,000 new CBP officers, expanding ICE detention capacity, and investing billions in cutting-edge technology to interdict fentanyl and illegal crossings, ensuring law enforcement has the tools they need to keep our neighborhoods safe.

Mike Carey (R-Ohio-15), a member of the House Budget Committee, House Ways and Means Committee, and Committee on House Administration, voted to pass a Continuing Resolution (CR) to keep the government open and prevent a shutdown while bipartisan government funding negotiations advance. Following the vote, Rep. Carey released the following statement: “Shutting down the government means missed paychecks for our troops, delays in critical services, and disrupts the work Congress is doing to deliver for constituents. We are looking at passing a full, bipartisan government funding deal in the coming weeks, but we cannot shut down the government in the meantime,” Rep. Carey said. The CR now goes to the U.S. Senate for consideration and must clear a 60-vote threshold before being signed into law by the President. # # # 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:10:29Z
https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2887 Balderson’s Bill to Lower Energy Costs and Improve Grid Reliability Passes House 2025-09-18 2025 2025-09 Republican House OH Troy Balderson B001306 balderson.house.gov balderson https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27&Page=1 scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the House of Representatives passed Congressman Troy Balderson’s (OH-12) bill to fast-track new power plants, ensuring the long-term reliability of the American electric grid. H.R. 1047, the Guaranteeing Reliability through the Interconnection of Dispatchable (GRID) Power Act, makes a key improvement to the interconnection queue, where power generation projects wait in line before being reviewed by regulators. In recent years, wait times for power projects have skyrocketed up to five years on average while electricity demand surges. This legislation empowers grid operators to identify and fast-track generation projects that will provide dispatchable power and boost grid reliability. “With American power demand far outpacing our ability to generate more electricity, our grid is heading toward a reliability crisis,” said Balderson. “The interconnection queue is overwhelmed and bogged down, leaving shovel-ready power projects waiting for years while demand continues to climb. The GRID Power Act clears the path for the most critical projects, giving grid operators the tools they need to add more dispatchable baseload power—lowering costs for households and businesses while keeping America’s grid reliable.” Ohio is particularly impacted. PJM, the state’s sole grid operator, has announced it expects to lose about 40 gigawatts of generation by 2030—21 percent of its total capacity—while new power generation is not coming online fast enough to replace retiring plants. Between 2022 and 2023 alone, PJM saw over 11,000 megawatts of generation deactivated while only 4,000 megawatts of new capacity were added. “It doesn’t take an expert to see that retiring power plants outpacing new generation is a problem,” Balderson continued. “This is especially concerning for Central Ohio, which has become a national hub for data center construction. These facilities are powering the American AI revolution, but we must ensure we can keep them running while also providing reliable, affordable energy to Ohio f… 1 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z

Mike Carey (R-Ohio-15) voted to pass four bills aiming to restore safety to Washington, D.C. after years of historic high crime rates. The first bill, the DC CRIMES Act, corrects Washington, D.C.’s sentencing guidelines for youth offenders. Currently, D.C. code treats any offender under the age of 25 as a “youth.” This bill lowers the threshold to the age of 18. The second bill, the District of Columbia Policing Protection Act, gives law enforcement in Washington, D.C. greater latitude to pursue criminal suspects fleeing in a vehicle if the officer deems it necessary. The third bill, the District of Columbia Judicial Nominations Reform Act, makes nominations for D.C. Courts an action of the U.S. President, which aligns it with the U.S. Constitution and other federal judicial nomination processes. The fourth bill, the D.C. Juvenile Sentencing Reform Act, would lower the age of eligibility for juveniles to be tried as adults in D.C. for certain violent offenses, including murder, first-degree sexual abuse, first-degree burglary, and robbery while armed. “Our nation’s capital city must be a beacon of hope and safety for all Americans and the world to emulate, not a hive of violent crime that goes unchecked. Just a few years ago in broad daylight, three of my team members were assaulted at knifepoint just steps from the Capitol,” Rep. Carey said. “Our votes this week build on President Trump’s leadership to lower crime in our capital and ensure criminals are held accountable. I was proud to pass these bills that prioritize safety for residents of Washington D.C., citizens of America, and guests from around the world.” BACKGROUND: Since President Trump deployed federal law enforcement resources to Washington, D.C., annual crime rates have fallen. During the 30-day crackdown, over 2,100 arrests were made, over 200 illegal guns were seized, and several missing children were rescued. Year-to-date crime rates following President Trump’s efforts in Washington, D.C. have seen … 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:10:29Z

The bill would protect American workers from outsourcing by disincentivizing U.S. companies from chasing cheaper wages and hiring foreign workers. The legislation will impose a tax on any company that employs foreign labor instead of Americans and will use the generated revenue to fund workforce development programs to help the middle-class. “But corporations, unfortunately, chase slave wages in other parts of the world where they can pay people $5 a day. And our calls, our American consumers that need help, need assistance, are calling these foreign countries. They have a language barrier, a culture barrier, and more importantly, that money is leaving our country to go into those communities versus having that money to stay here in America,” said Senator Moreno. “So, what my bill does, it’s very simple, if you outsource American jobs to a foreign country, you will pay a 25 percent fee for the value of that contract. And here’s the best part, we take that 25 percent fee that we collect, and we use it to fund trade schools to upskill workers to be able to step up into a better, higher paying job.” 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:10:29Z

Congressman Taylor initially introduced this bill on May 15, 2025, and it passed out of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee earlier this summer. Congressman Taylor serves as the Vice Chairman of the Water Resources and Environment Subcommittee of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. “For too long, rural southern Ohio communities have been boxed out of the federal resources intended for them, and this bill will right this wrong,” said Congressman Taylor. “In the past year, I’ve heard from countless local businesses about their need for these critical water resources that are unreasonably out of reach, and today I’m proud to help deliver this win to rural communities across America.” “The Water Resources Technical Assistance Review Act will help ensure that water infrastructure resources at EPA, which are available to small, rural, and economically distressed communities, are actually getting to those communities,” said T&I Chairman Sam Graves (MO-06). “I thank Congressman Taylor for his work on this legislation and for his leadership on this issue.” “Growing up in Alabama, I have seen firsthand how communities are forced to do more with less, especially when it comes to critical infrastructure like clean water,” said Rep. Shomari Figures (AL-02). “This bill will make it easier for underserved and rural communities to access federal resources.” Specifically, the Water Resources Technical Assistance Review Act would: Direct the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) to evaluate EPA’s clean water technical assistance, authorities, initiatives, and programs from the past five years, with an emphasis on the WaterTA Program; Require GAO to submit a report to the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee outlin… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:10:29Z

Taylor T000490 taylor.house.gov taylor https://taylor.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Dave Taylor (OH-02) recently joined Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN), and Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain (R-MI) to highlight wins for Ohioans in the Working Families Tax Cut. Congressman Taylor detailed how this America First bill will lower taxes for hardworking American families, make a historic investment in rural healthcare and small businesses, secure our Nation’s borders, and protect critical programs for vulnerable Americans. See Congressman Taylor’s full remarks below: “During the August work period, I spent time in Ohio’s Second Congressional District talking with local small business owners, farmers, and manufacturers about the issues that are most important to them. I heard over and over again how the Working Families Tax Cut is transforming the lives of hardworking Ohioans by lowering taxes so they can spend their hard-earned money on what they need, helping small businesses grow and develop, and revitalizing our main streets. As a third-generation small business owner, I know firsthand how a tough economy and skyrocketing taxes make it harder to turn a profit. When I popped into family-owned shops last month, store owners told me how grateful they were that the expanded 199A tax credit was the helping hand they needed to stay in business so they could maintain a presence in our communities. Beyond business, Ohioans made it clear that they don’t want illegal immigrants taking benefits that are meant for Americans in need. This is just Ohio common sense. The Working Families Tax Cut benefits vulnerable Americans so they can get back up on their feet while kicking off illegal immigrants who never should have received taxpayer benefits in the first place. A common myth surrounding this bill is that it will shut down rural hospitals serving Americans across our country, and especially in my district. That is FAR from the truth. In rural regions like southern Ohio, the bill includes a histo… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:10:29Z

Recently, in this country, Jewish Americans have been murdered in cold blood and burned alive. These attacks are reminiscent of 1939. It is 2025—the violence against Jews must stop,” wrote Moreno. “As the senior United States Senator for the state of Ohio, I want to make sure that university leaders are doing all they can to ensure students are free not only to learn on college campuses but also to feel safe while doing so, regardless of their religion.” Read the letter HERE or below.

However, the reality is that drug traffickers like El Chapo or criminals with shell companies will not file their beneficial ownership information with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN),” the lawmakers wrote. “These criminals do not fear the harsh civil and criminal penalties—up to a $10,000 fine and 2 years in prison— under the CTA. However, the 32.6 million law-abiding small business owners who do the right things and pay their taxes on time will register with FinCEN.” “As Congress works to provide long-term relief from the CTA, we urge the Department of Treasury and FinCEN to promulgate a final rule that exempts U.S. businesses from the CTA,” the letter continued. “The Corporate Transparency Act is one of the most burdensome small business regulations in history, unfairly targeting mom-and-pop shops while doing little to stop real criminals. Instead of curbing money laundering, it saddles more than 30 million law-abiding small businesses with compliance mandates and risks exposing their sensitive information,” said Rep. Warren Davidson. “Small businesses are the backbone of our communities, and they should not be treated like criminals. That’s exactly why we are demanding action, and why I’ve sponsored the Repealing Big Brother Overreach Act—to relieve small business owners from invasive red tape.” Background: The CTA was inserted into the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic with little public debate.
