""At no time in modern history has the outgoing Majority in Congress - with one foot out the door - rammed through an omnibus spending package during a Lame Duck session. This closing act will bring new spending totals, in just two short years of one-party Democrat control in Washington, to more than $5 trillion. ""On November 8, the American people made their voices heard by voting in a new Republican Majority to the House of Representatives to curb the runaway spending that is fueling record-high prices and making our country less safe. This reckless spending is a direct affront to the will of the voters. ""The 4,126-page, $1.8 trillion spending spree takes the problem of record-high inflation from bad to worse and adds hundreds of billions more to our already massive national debt. ""Among the many disastrous ironies buried in this omnibus spending package is a provision barring border patrol from investing in proven methods to curb the flow of illegal drugs and migrants across our southern border while simultaneously investing $410 million to secure the borders of Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman."" ###",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T03:32:05Z https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2360,Balderson Backs Legislation to Put Investors Ahead of Woke Initiatives,2022-12-16,2022,2022-12,Republican,House,OH,Troy Balderson,B001306,balderson.house.gov,balderson,https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27&Page=9,scraper,"H.R. 9527 reins in proxy advisors and limits their influence over American corporate governance. Congressman Troy Balderson today cosponsored the Putting Investors First Act, legislation aimed at ensuring pension funds put the financial interests of investors ahead of woke initiatives. H.R. 9527 reins in proxy advisors and limits their influence over American corporate governance. In the last two years, the Biden Administration has reversed critical proxy advisory firm reforms, resulting in reduced oversight, accountability, and transparency. Americans rely on institutional investors to manage their retirement savings and, in turn, institutional investors often rely on a small number of ""proxy advisory firms"" for recommendations on how to vote regarding the shares under their control. ""Reckless Washington D.C. spending has already wreaked enough havoc on Americans' retirement savings,"" said Rep. Balderson. ""This effort ensures that your pension fund is putting YOUR financial interests ahead of woke initiatives."" “The Woke Left is using your retirement funds to advance their radical agenda,” said Rep. Bryan Steil, the legislation's primary sponsor. “This puts a stop to the Left’s woke attack on American capitalism. Americans are already seeing their retirement savings shrink because of Washington’s reckless spending. We need to empower investors, restore transparency and accountability, and enhance competition.” Earlier this year, the Security and Exchange Commission dismantled transparency and accountability safeguards adopted in 2020. This move has paved the way for unaccountable proxy advisory firms to become the preferred vehicle for special interests to achieve their policy objectives and cancel dissenting voices.

The Black Sea region is of critical importance to both European and global security, as evident during Russia’s war against Ukraine. Ukraine, Romania, Georgia, Bulgaria and Turkey are strategic partners in the region and are vital for U.S. security interests. The region also has economic importance as a transportation nexus for many goods, including grain exports from Ukraine, and energy products from the Caspian Sea. Representatives Keating and Turner believe it is important for the U.S. to play both a more proactive role in the region, establishing a formal US strategy that bolsters security and encourages trade with the region. Congressman Turner said, “The U.S. and our allies must maintain a strong presence in the Black Sea region to maintain and expand energy imports, digital infrastructure and economic development. Our goal is to deter malign attempts by Russia and China to control the region – a move that would threaten our security interests abroad. This legislation creates a roadmap for the U.S. and our allies to strengthen economic ties, counter our adversaries and defend democracy abroad.” Congressman Keating said, “The Departments of State and Defense have been working for years developing a U.S. strategy for how we can best bolster security and stability in the region. This legislation formalizes those efforts and provides greater certainty for our partners in the region going forward. Strong Black Sea partners serve as a buffer against further Russian aggression and protect vital market access to the rest of the world.” Specifically, this legislation: Calls for a more robust foreign policy toward the Black Sea region, including increased advocacy between U.S., NATO and EU and bolstering economic ties between the U.S. and the Black Sea region; 180 days following passage of legislation, requires an interagency strategy to increase military assistance and coordination with NATO and the EU, deepen economic ties, strengthen democracy and economic security and enhance security assistance with Black Sea countries. The Black Sea Security Act of 2022 is the House companion of a bill introduced by Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Mitt Romney. ###",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T03:32:05Z https://carey.house.gov/2022/12/12/exclusive-republicans-warn-biden-hes-putting-us-flight-safety-risk-holiday/,EXCLUSIVE: Republicans warn Biden that he’s putting U.S. flight safety at risk this holiday season by sending Air Marshalls to the border to deal with the migrant crisis – and demand to know how much it is costing taxpayers,2022-12-12,2022,2022-12,Republican,House,OH,Mike Carey,C001126,carey.house.gov,carey,https://carey.house.gov/press-releases/,scraper,"Daily Mail Elizabeth Elkind December 12, 2022 House Republicans are warning the Biden administration that its plan to utilize US Air Marshals along the southern border will put ‘the lives and safety of airline passengers at risk’ over the holidays, according to a Monday letter obtained first by DailyMail.com. Ohio GOP Rep. Mike Carey is leading a request for more information to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, whose department oversees both Customs and Border Patrol as well as the Transportation Security Agency – which runs the Federal Air Marshal Service. Carey’s letter lists a series of questions for Mayorkas about the plan, including ‘an estimate of the cost’ of sending Air Marshals to the border, what they’re working on, and what – if any – public safety evaluation was done before taking action. The letter is co-signed by six other Republican members of Congress. ‘As we enter one of the busiest travel times of the year, it is imperative that we have every Federal Air Marshal tending to their actual job rather than assisting in a problem your administration created and continues to ignore,’ the lawmakers stated. They also raise concerns about how the Biden administration’s impending rollback of the COVID pandemic-era Title 42 expulsion policy would exacerbate the record surge of people trying to cross the border. Air Marshals are armed federal agents who are tasked with anonymously riding commercial airline flights, in case an emergency threat arises. There are an estimated 3,000 Air Marshals in the United States. Biden’s plan would reduce the force covering flights to just an eighth of its normal operating size, according to the Washington Examiner. That’s reportedly about one Air Marshal on every 100 flights. Pulling Air Marshals out of the skies to help ease the migrant crisis is ‘creating a massive risk to public safety,’ Carey’s letter said, with barely three weeks until airline travel is expected to surge for the end-of-year holiday season. A federal judge ruled recently that President Joe Biden must end Title 42 – which allows border agents to turn asylum-seekers away on contact in the name of slowing the spread of COVID-19 – by the end of December 21. ‘Many of us have been to the southern border and have seen the major issues underway and know of the ripple effect it has on our country,’ the letter stated. ‘The Administration’s lenient immigration policies, including the proposed revocation of Title 42, have led to record-setting encounters at the southern border. ‘By failing to take steps to secure our country and further encouraging illegal migrant crossings, the Administration is draining the limited resources of every branch of federal law enforcement.’ This year’s Christmas and New Years holidays will be the first since 2019 to see travelers fly largely without COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Thanksgiving travelers were projected to number over 54 million, according to AAA, a rise that nearly matches pre-pandemic levels. While navigating a surge in travel as the industry still struggles to meet demand, DHS is also dealing with a record surge of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. The number of people encountered by Border Patrol has risen to record levels since Biden took office. ‘The Federal Air Marshal Service was created with the goal of stopping threats to aviation, not responding to a humanitarian crisis,’ the House GOP letter stated. ‘Utilizing the men and women of the Air Marshal Service at the southern border puts the lives and safety of airline passengers at risk.’ Carey demanded that Mayorkas provide answers by the end of the year about the ‘projected impact to public safety’ and how DHS will ‘ensure the safety of passengers aboard commercial aircrafts now that many Federal Air Marshals are no longer working in their positions.’ Mayorkas is expected to be among a lengthy list of investigative targets when House Republicans take their chamber’s majority next year. It’s not immediately clear if GOP lawmakers will take harsher measures to get answers on the Monday letter when they have subpoena power starting in January. The Examiner first reported in late November that Air Marshals were planning to ‘refuse to deploy’ to the border ‘and risk termination.’ DailyMail.com has reached out to DHS and the TSA for comment.",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T03:32:05Z https://carey.house.gov/2022/12/08/rep-mike-carey-votes-favor-ndaa/,Rep.

Turner,T000463,turner.house.gov,turner,https://turner.house.gov/press-releases,scraper,"Washington, DC – Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) and Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-22) today sent a letter to House leadership, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, requesting the House and Senate include the Susan Muffley Act in any end of year legislation. This letter was signed by Rep. Bryan Steil (WI), Rep. Bill Johnson (OH), Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (PA), and Rep. Victoria Spartz (IN). In 2009, more than 20,000 Delphi Salaried Retirees lost portions of their retirement benefits in the aftermath of the General Motors bailout. Following the bankruptcy filing, the company surrendered its pension obligations to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) as part of its 2009 bankruptcy agreement. The Obama Administration then worked behind closed doors to slash the pensions promised to the 20,000 non-unionized salaried staff. The Susan Muffley Act works to correct the egregious wrongs and injustices imposed upon the Delphi Salaried Retirees under the Obama Administration and must be considered in any potential year-end legislation. In part, the lawmakers wrote, “With only one month left in the 117th Congress, passing the Susan Muffley Act must be a high priority. After 13 years of working to fix this injustice, Delphi Salaried Retirees should not have to start over again next Congress. It is imperative that the Senate finally pass the Susan Muffley Act and that President Biden signs the bill into law. Alternatively, the provisions of the Susan Muffley Act could be included in a year-end package. Congress must not remain silent in the face of the thousands of retirees devastated by this injustice.” A signed copy of the letter can be found here, and a complete text is below. As the House and Senate begin to consider must pass year-end legislation, we urge you to include the Susan Muffley Act as part of these legislative packages. As you may know, while facing bankruptcy during the 2009 Great Recession, the Delphi Corporation was acquired by General Motors. As part of the General Motors bailout and restructuring, the Delphi employee pensions were turned over to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC). While General Motors supplemented the pensions of unionized hourly employees, over 20,000 Delphi Salaried Retirees saw their benefits unfairly slashed between 30 and 70 percent. In July, the House passed the Susan Muffley Act (H.R. 6929) with a strong bipartisan majority. This legislation would remedy this injustice by restoring Delphi Salaried Retiree pension payments to their full value and providing the Delphi Salaried Retirees with backpay for their missed benefits, with interest. We strongly urge the passage of this critical legislation, either as a standalone bill or as part of any end of year must pass legislation to ensure it becomes law before the end of the 117th Congress. With only one month left in the 117th Congress, passing the Susan Muffley Act must be a high priority. After 13 years of working to fix this injustice, Delphi Salaried Retirees should not have to start over again next Congress. It is imperative that the Senate finally pass the Susan Muffley Act and that President Biden signs the bill into law. Alternatively, the provisions of the Susan Muffley Act could be included in a year-end package. Congress must not remain silent in the face of the thousands of retirees devastated by this injustice. We appreciate your attention to this time-sensitive matter and look forward to working with you to restore the Delphi Salaried Retirees’ full benefits. Background: The “Susan Muffley Act” provides backpay for the pension payments that should have been received for the past 13 years via a lump sum payment equivalent to the difference between any benefits that have paid out and what retirees would have been paid without limitations, plus 6 percent interest. It would also restore full pension payments going forward as if never disrupted. There are more than 21 thousand Delphi retirees impacted by this legislation, with approximately 5,180 retirees residing in Ohio. Since 2009, Congressman Turner has been working closely with the Delphi Salaried Retiree Association (DRSA) to restore their benefits throughout the Obama, Trump and Biden Administrations. In October 2020, at the urging of Congressman Turner, former President Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum directing the PBGC to examine the financial status of Delphi Salaried Retirees’ pension fund and to investigate administrative or legislative pathways for the restoration of the fund. In December 2021, Turner filed an Amicus Brief when the DSRA filed for Cert with the U.S. Supreme Court in the Dennis Black, et al. v. PBGC case. This past January the case was denied cert, thus Turner authored the “Susan Muffley Act” as the only option to wholly restore the pensions. In July 2022, President Joe Biden issued a statement of administrative policy in support of the legislation that would restore the Delphi retirees’ pensions. Most recently, the Susan Muffley Act passed the House with bipartisan support 254-175, but has faced roadblocks in the Senate. ###",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T03:32:05Z https://turner.house.gov/2022/12/turner-secures-oh-10-wins-in-ndaa-to-improve-service-member-quality-of-life-and-modernize-our-military,Turner secures OH-10 wins in NDAA to improve service member quality of life and modernize our military,2022-12-08,2022,2022-12,Republican,House,OH,Michael R.

The HCTC provides refundable tax credits to cover more than 70 percent of the cost of health insurance premiums for two kinds of workers: those who have been certified to have lost their jobs due to outsourcing, and eligible retirees whose pensions have been taken over by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. “Since its inception in 2002, this program has been reauthorized seven times – providing much-needed benefits to workers in such positions,” the lawmakers continued. “These people worked hard their whole lives and don’t deserve the uncertainty and stress of relying on a program that could expire every year or two. That’s why we must ensure that a permanent reauthorization is included in any end-of-year tax extenders legislation.” The letter text can be found here. Background: Making the Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC) program permanent would give the over 5,000 Delphi Salaried Retirees in Dayton peace of mind, eliminating the worry of losing their well-deserved healthcare every one to two years. Turner has been a consistent advocate for long term reauthorization of the HCTC, re-introducing The Health Coverage Tax Credit Reauthorization Act in 2021 after championing its reauthorization in 2019. This program has been reauthorized seven times since its inception in 2002, benefitting thousands of American workers and their families. In addition to advocating for Delphi Salaried Retirees' health care, Turner is working tirelessly to restore the pensions that were unjustly revoked in 2009. In July, the House approved the Susan Muffley Act in a bipartisan 254 to 175 vote. Turner is now working with colleagues in a bipartisan, bicameral effort to have Congress send the legislation to President Biden who has said he will sign it into law, ending a 13 year struggle for Delphi Salaried Retirees.

The new legislation would give the U.S. Department of Justice additional authority to pursue cases against suicide assistance forums, including a popular site recently covered by a New York Times investigation. “We’re facing a mental health crisis in our nation, and suicide – particularly among young people – is dangerously on the rise. The last thing we need right now is an online forum operating in the shadows of the internet that actively encourages and even assists people to die by suicide,” said Congresswoman Trahan. “Suicidal ideation must be met with mental health care and therapies focused on prevention – not real-time instructions and encouragement to die by suicide. This bipartisan legislation will finally ensure the Department of Justice has the authority necessary to target websites and users that push those in need of help toward self-harm instead.” “As America’s mental health crisis has escalated in recent years, so too has the rise of malicious actors seeking to take advantage of those who believe suicide is their only option,” said Congressman Carey. “Online suicide assistance forums are making this crisis worse and it’s time we take a stand by passing the Stop Online Suicide Assistance Forums Act to bring justice for the victims and hold these criminals accountable.” “It is heartbreaking for families to lose a loved one to suicide and despicable that online forums would push people in crisis to attempt suicide,” said Congresswoman Porter. “Cracking down on online suicide assistance forums will protect teens and young adults, who disproportionately make up the users for these sites and are most vulnerable to suicide.” “This legislation has broad, bipartisan support for one simple reason: it’s necessary,” said Congressman Stewart. “Suicide is an issue that hits home for everyone – it’s a top ten cause of death nationwide, as well as in my home state. If we want to reverse this tragic trend, that means eliminating environments that work to keep us on the same path. Simply put, online suicide assistance forums have no place in our communities. It’s time there be consequences for assisting another individual’s suicide attempt. I’m proud to introduce this legislation alongside my Democrat colleagues, and I’m eager to continue our work toward a healthier nation.” Online suicide assistance forums, where people can find detailed instructions and real-time assistance on how to die by suicide, are attracting millions of viewers per month. Many of these sites have easily accessible pages championing highly lethal suicide methods and hundreds of threads pushing distressed users to attempt to die by suicide. A prominent feature of these sites are “goodbye threads”, where a member actively declares their intention to die by suicide and often documents the process in real time, all while others provide advice and encouragement to advance the attempt. The Stop Online Suicide Assistance Forums Act is simple. It establishes a felony offense for anyone who uses mail or interstate communication, including online forums, to intentionally assist in another individual’s suicide attempt that results in death. The bipartisan legislation does not criminalize the act or attempt to die by suicide, and it does not impact state sanctioned physician-assisted end of life care. The Stop Online Suicide Assistance Forums Act has been endorsed by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the American Psychological Association, Suicide Awareness Voices of Education, RI International, the American Association of Psychiatric Pharmacists, the Maternal Mental Health Leadership Alliance, and Inseparable. “AFSP applauds Representative Trahan for taking bold action toward protecting those most at risk of dying by suicide,” said Robert Gebbia, CEO of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. “We know that social media can be a powerful tool in uniting individuals and providing a sense of community, but it can also have dire consequences for those most vulnerable. Websites that encourage suicide and offer instructions are harmful, particularly to youth and young adults. This bill will enable DOJ to hold these website operators accountable for intentionally promoting dangerous content.” “Anyone who uses an online forum to promote, support, endorse, encourage and/or contribute to the attempted suicide or death by suicide of someone must be stopped or countless lives will be lost to malicious individuals,” said Dr. Dan Reidenberg, CEO of Suicide Awareness Voices of Education. “I fully support this legislation to try and prevent those with the intent on causing harm to others from doing so by imposing substantial penalties and hope others join this effort to SAVE more lives.” “The American Association of Psychiatric Pharmacists (AAPP) is concerned that the national rate of suicide in the United States remains in an upward trajectory. AAPP applauds the introduction of the Stop Online Suicide Assistance Forums Act,” said Brenda Schimenti, Executive Director of the American Association of Psychiatric Pharmacists. “As clinicians serving on mental health care teams, psychiatric pharmacists treat patients with severe mental illness screening for and potentially preventing suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Those experiencing suicidal ideation deserve safe, appropriate, and effective treatment.” “We need to do everything we can to save lives and reduce the heartbreaking toll of suicide, including closing loopholes that allow online platforms to push people toward dying by suicide,” said Bill Smith, President and Founder of Inseparable.

If you or someone you know is having suicidal thoughts, feeling at risk of suicide, or experiencing a state of distress, it is crucial to find help immediately.

Turner,T000463,turner.house.gov,turner,https://turner.house.gov/press-releases,scraper,"Washington, DC- Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) and his colleagues are imploring the Biden Administration to unleash American energy production as an alternative to releasing 15 million barrels from the Strategic Oil Reserve, which President Biden announced last week. Their letter outlined several solutions to promote America’s energy security. In the letter members wrote: ""While millions of Americans are struggling to fill up their gas tanks, pay their electric bills, heat their homes and feed their families, it was disappointing to see your announcement this week to yet again play politics with our America's Strategic Petroleum Reserve. There is a better way, that will provide lasting energy price relief and security for American families. It is that our nation's abundant natural resources should be unleashed to provide homegrown solutions... Mr. President, this winter, New England should get its natural gas from Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, not Trinidad & Tobago, and certainly not Russia. Americans should not have to rely on foreign natural gas imports because of a lack of adequate energy infrastructure to meet their needs. Increasing our nation's energy infrastructure is critical to ensuring we can meet our growing energy demands while continuing to reduce emissions. We need a holistic approach that includes additional pipelines and U.S. refining capacity.. Your Administration should send a signal of support for the domestic production of oil and gas. Anything to the contrary will send mixed messages to the global community as to the stability and reliability of U.S. oil and natural gas supplies on the market."" Read the full letter here. Background: Today, gas prices in Ohio are up $0.50 compared to last year and the cost of heating a home is up 17 percent, costing households nearly $200 more this winter. Unleashing American energy production will alleviate unnecessary economic pressure on Ohioans by increasing supply, creating jobs, and securing our energy sector from foreign influence. ###",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T03:20:33Z https://turner.house.gov/2022/10/rep-turner-advocates-for-dayton-foodbank-healthcare-expansion,Rep Turner Advocates for Dayton Foodbank Healthcare Expansion,2022-10-12,2022,2022-10,Republican,House,OH,Michael R.

The additional funding will allow the foodbank to partner with local hospitals to provide on-site care and additional health resources to underserved communities after receiving emergency food assistance with the aim of minimizing the barriers to accessing services due to transportation, time, and other constraints. Additionally, the building will provide space for managed care providers to ensure that their customers are taking advantage of the benefits they are eligible for through their insurance plan. ###",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T03:20:33Z https://carey.house.gov/2022/10/11/rep-carey-welcomes-hondas-35-billion-dollar-investment-ohio/,Rep.

Rep. Mike Carey of Ohio is spearheading the effort. He told DailyMail.com that Yellen ‘failed’ the United States by downplaying the economic effects of President Joe Biden’s key spending bills, at a time when financial experts warn the economy could be careening toward a recession. ‘For nearly two years, the Biden Administration and Secretary Janet Yellen have destroyed America’s economy through their decisions,’ Carey, a member of the House Committee on Budget, said. ‘It’s time to uncover whether Secretary Yellen knowingly deceived the American people or simply failed to assess the risks of Democrats’ spending bills. Regardless, Secretary Yellen has failed the American people.’ It comes amid Republican-led criticism of the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act, which outside models have suggested would actually have a negligible impact on inflation despite Democrats’ assurances that it could help slow rising costs. Biden critics argue that the vast climate and healthcare bill is ill-timed given the cost of consumer goods skyrocketing at levels not seen in four decades, while the Federal Reserve’s bold interest rate hikes have spurred concerns that the economy could soon crash into a recession. In Thursday’s resolution, a draft of which was obtained by DailyMail.com, Republicans are specifically inquiring about the inflationary effects of Biden’s bipartisan $1.2 trillion infrastructure law and progressives’ Build Back Better bill. The latter failed to pass in its original form, but parts were later revived to make up the Inflation Reduction Act – which approves more than $700 billion in federal spending. The resolution would give Yellen two weeks to produce ‘copies of any document, memorandum, correspondence, and other communication’ that discusses the legislation’s effect on inflation. Voter dissatisfaction with Biden’s handling of the economy has been a cornerstone of the Republican bid to reclaim the House and Senate majorities in November’s midterm elections. While the resolution is unlikely to pass in the current Democrat-controlled House of Representatives, it’s another signal to voters from the GOP that they’re keeping Americans’ economic frustrations at the forefront just over a month before Election Day. It’s also a sign of where Republicans could put their investigative efforts next year if they win the House majority. Speaking to CNBC late last year, Yellen dismissed concerns that the infrastructure law and progressives’ bill – which had a $1.8 trillion price tag at the time – would impact the consumer price index. ‘I don’t think that these investments will drive up inflation at all,’ she said in October 2021. The inflation rate later hit a 40-year high of 9.1 percent in June. Yellen also touted the economic effects of Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act in a trip to North Carolina this week. ‘The President’s economic plan will strengthen our economy for decades to come,’ Yellen said according to the Carolina Journal. ‘It will make our economy more productive and resilient – and advance economic fairness for all Americans.’ She has, however, also conceded on multiple occasions that the inflation rate is ‘unacceptably high’ The most recently available inflation data shows that costs rose an average 8.3 percent in August, despite plummeting gas prices at the pump. The increase is chiefly driven by food and rent costs, which have soared since the economy began rebounding from the pandemic.",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T03:08:33Z https://davidson.house.gov/2022/9/davidson-demands-va-protect-veterans-from-fraud,Davidson Demands VA Protect Veterans From Fraud,2022-09-22,2022,2022-09,Republican,House,OH,Warren Davidson,D000626,davidson.house.gov,davidson,https://davidson.house.gov/press-releases,scraper,"WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, Congressman Warren Davidson (R-OH) led 59 of his colleagues in sending a letter to Secretary Denis McDonough and the Department of Veterans Affairs regarding increased fraudulent activity targeting veterans.

Turner also announced his intention to revitalize the Wright Company Factory through the federal appropriations process. ""In 2009, I had the Wright Company Factory placed under protection of the National Park Service and it seems only fitting we celebrate this historic site on the day the National Park Service was created in 1916."" said Turner. ""I will continue to put forth legislation that bolsters the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Park and other historic sites in our communities to keep our history alive for future generations."" Looking forward, as co-chair of the House Historic Preservation Caucus, Turner will be leading the charge in securing funds for the Wright Company Factory in West Dayton. The National Park Service's initial assessment of restoring the Wright Company Factory is an estimated cost of $20 million. So far, Dayton Aviation Heritage National Park has received $6 million in funds from the Dayton community for development of the park's campus. During Turner’s time as Mayor of Dayton he found restoring historical sites brought economic growth and revitalization to communities. The restoration of the Wright Company Factory will increase economic development in West Dayton. Joyce serves as the Top Republican of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior, Environment and Related Agencies and oversees the federal funding that many historical preservation sites receive. ""It was great to join Congressman Turner today for such an informative tour of the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park,” said Congressman Joyce. “Historic places like this site tell the story of America. By preserving them, we don’t just keep our nation’s cultural resources alive, but we also protect their patriotic significance, create jobs, and expand local economies. That’s why, as the lead Republican in charge of funding for the Historic Preservation Fund and Heritage Partnership Programs, I’m committed to preserving nationally significant museums, historic sites, and collections, especially those here in Ohio. It’s critical that we continue to save the past so we can enrich the future.” Background on Turner's previous legislative efforts: On March 24, 2009, Turner's historic preservation legislation passed the House of Representatives and soon after became law. The legislation placed Hawthorn Hill and the Wright Factory buildings in the Dayton area under the protection of the National Park Service. The legislation also authorized grants for local community organizations such as Dayton History to help with operating costs. In December 2017, Turner's legislation, which renamed the John W. Berry Sr. Wright Brothers Aviation Center as the Wright Brothers National Museum, was signed into law after passing in the FY18 National Defense Authorization Act.

Turner,T000463,turner.house.gov,turner,https://turner.house.gov/press-releases,scraper,"SPRINGFIELD, OH- After securing over $10 million in federal funding for the new National Advanced Air Mobility Center of Excellence (NAAMCE), today Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) participated in the groundbreaking ceremony at Springfield-Beckley Municipal Airport. NAAMCE would be home to research and development opportunities on unmanned drones and electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft programs. “The National Advanced Air Mobility Center of Excellence will strengthen Ohio’s growing defense industry and create new economic opportunities for the Springfield region,” said Turner. “Securing federal funding to establish NAAMCE over the past 5 years has been a priority of mine in order to bring research and innovation initiatives, such as unmanned aircraft systems, to the Miami Valley. I will continue to work with local and state partners to secure additional resources for new capabilities and programs at the Springfield-Beckley Airport.” Background: As a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, Turner began his efforts to bring new defense and research opportunities to the Springfield-Beckley Municipal Airport more than 4 years ago via the annual National Defense Authorization Acts (NDAA). The airport is home to the Springfield Air National Guard Base. In the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 NDAA, Turner authored a provision requiring the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Department of Defense (DoD) to enhance collaboration to benefit research on unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) – commonly known as drones - at the airport. In the FY19 NDAA Turner requested funding to create the NAAMCE under the Defense Community Infrastructure Program (DCIP). These grants were originally designed to address deficiencies in community infrastructure that are supportive of military installations in order to enhance military value, installation resilience, or military family quality of life. The DCIP grants were also targeted to rural communities of less than 50,000 residents. Funding for the NAAMCE was initially denied for two reasons: competitiveness of other sites in the country based on non-defined grant guidelines of DoD and the existing population cap. Springfield’s approximate population was 59,000 at that time. In response, Turner used the FY21 NDAA to refine DoD’s funding criteria to place “enhancing military value” at the top priority and expanded the cap on participating rural communities to 100,000 residents. Turner’s modification placed Springfield at a strategic advantage for the competitive grant program the following year that allowed him to secure a $6 million DCIP grant. In the FY22 NDAA Turner secured an additional $4.7 million in federal funding for the base-wide microgrid at Springfield-Beckley Airport which will provide the infrastructure capabilities needed for the NAAMCE to conduct its operations. In addition to the $10.7 million in federal funding secured, JobsOhio - a private economic development corporation - plans to support the project through the Ohio Site Inventory Program (OSIP). A multi-million dollar OSIP grant would cover site preparation, utility extensions, an access drive, and parking area for the facilities. The grant is awaiting final approval. The National Advanced Air Mobility Center of Excellence is expected to be complete by June 2023. ###",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T02:59:24Z https://davidson.house.gov/2022/8/davidson-leads-bill-to-prevent-student-loan-bailouts,Davidson Leads Bill to Prevent Student Loan Bailouts,2022-08-19,2022,2022-08,Republican,House,OH,Warren Davidson,D000626,davidson.house.gov,davidson,https://davidson.house.gov/press-releases,scraper,"WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Warren Davidson (R-OH), joined by 12 of his colleagues, introduced the House companion bill to Senator Rick Scott’s Debt Cancellation Accountability Act. This legislation will prevent the Biden administration from enacting blanket student loan forgiveness. If the Department of Education attempts to waive or discharge more than $100,000 in federal student loans for two or more borrowers, this legislation would require them to obtain funding from Congress first. The Biden administration has no legal authority to unilaterally cancel student loan debt. “The Debt Cancellation Accountability Act simply reiterates that any student loan bailouts would require Congressional approval,” said Rep. Davidson. “This administration cannot spend massive amounts of taxpayer money with just the stroke of a pen.” A $50,000 bailout per borrower would leave taxpayers with a $900 billion tab. “It is not the responsibility of a self-taught farmer in Ohio to take on the financial burden of an Ivy League graduate in New York who willingly obtained a loan,” said Rep. Davidson. Only a small portion of Americans would benefit from student loan bailouts, 70% of which are in the top half of the income spectrum. “President Biden’s reckless policies have already caused record-high inflation and an economic recession. Yet, he is more concerned with satisfying the radical Left’s wish list than he is with solving the issues that currently impact all Americans.”",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T02:59:24Z https://turner.house.gov/2022/8/as-baby-formula-shortage-worsens-turner-announces-bill-to-combat-crisis,"As Baby Formula Shortage Worsens, Turner Announces Bill to Combat Crisis",2022-08-18,2022,2022-08,Republican,House,OH,Michael R. Turner,T000463,turner.house.gov,turner,https://turner.house.gov/press-releases,scraper,"Dayton, OH- Today, Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) advocated for his bill, the Improving Newborn Formula Access for a Nutritious Tomorrow (INFANT) Act. The INFANT Act will prohibit states from contracting over 70 percent of their Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program baby formula supply from one manufacturer, thereby increasing competitiveness in the market and bolstering the supply chain. ""There should never be a situation where caregivers in Ohio are unable to properly feed their children, but that is exactly what we are facing with the current baby formula shortage,"" said Turner. ""I introduced the INFANT Act to bring in new suppliers to the market, thereby resolving the current shortages and bolstering supply chain resiliency to prevent shortages in the future. The federal government needs to undo the monopoly it imposed on the WIC program to make sure caregivers never have to worry about feeding their children again."" “Public Health supports Representative Turner’s efforts to bring much needed help to the families of Montgomery County,” said Tracey Waller, Montgomery County WIC Senior Manager, Public Health – Dayton & Montgomery County. “Increasing the availability of baby formula is a positive step to helping keep Montgomery County families healthy, thriving and safe.” Background: The WIC program provides federal grants to states for food, healthcare referrals, and nutrition education to low-income women (pregnant, breast feeding, or not breast feeding but post-partum) and children under 5 years-old. It serves around 40 percent of all infants born in the United States and accounts for half of formula consumption. Under current law, states are required to contract with only one baby formula manufacturer for the WIC program. As a result, three companies, Abbott, Reckitt, and Gerber, provide 95 percent of the total baby formula supply nationwide. The state of Ohio contracts with Mead Johnson, a division of Reckitt, to produce its Enfamil products. Its contract with Mead Johnson began in October 2021 and will be up for renewal in 2024. Ohio WIC contracts renew every 3-5 years and the state previously contracted with Gerber. 75 percent of caregivers rely on formula, at least in part, to feed their children. Therefore, when one manufacturer stops operations, as Abbott did in February, there are shortages nationwide and caregivers cannot properly feed their children. According to the Wall Street Journal, as of July 2022, 30% of baby formulas products remained out of stock nationwide, with some states dropping below 60%. The INFANT Act differs from previous legislation aimed at solving the baby formula crisis as it establishes both short-term solutions to increase baby formula supply and long-term provisions to prevent another shortage. Rep Turner introduced the bill in the U.S. House on July 28, 2022. ###",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T02:59:24Z https://turner.house.gov/2022/8/rep-turner-advocates-for-legislation-to-help-educators-and-first-responders-afford-first-home-in-communities-they-serve,Rep.

The bill will make it easier for educators and first responders to afford their first home in the communities they work in by allowing eligible individuals to qualify for a one-time mortgage on their primary home and be exempt from a down-payment and monthly mortgage insurance premium. The HELPER Act currently has 77 co-sponsors in the House, including four members from Ohio. In addition, the bill is supported by the Ohio Association of Professional Fire Firefighters, the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police, the Ohio Sheriffs Association, Mayor Mary McDonald of Trotwood, Mayor Jeffrey Mims Jr. of Dayton, and Mayor Sharretta Smith of Lima. ""Providing Dayton residents with access to safe and affordable housing continues to be a top priority for me,”said Turner. ""With the HELPER Act, educators and first responders will be able to establish long-term roots in the region and will be more closely connected to the communities they serve. Making Dayton more affordable for our educators and first responders benefits not only those families, but the entire community.” “The HELPER Act is one way to show our appreciation and support for those who put their lives on the line each and every day. By removing some of the financial obstacles faced when buying a home, our first responders would have a realistic path to affordable homeownership,"" said Mayor McDonald. Background: The HELPER Act creates a program within the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide mortgage assistance to law enforcement officers, firefighters, and other first responders, as well as elementary and secondary school teachers. Eligible individuals would qualify for a one-time mortgage on their primary home and be exempt from a down-payment and monthly mortgage insurance premium, making it easier and more affordable for educators and first responders to live in the communities they serve. This program is available to federal state and local law enforcement officers, firefighters, paramedics, emergency medical technicians, and teachers employed by public and private, state accredited k-12 schools. To qualify, a person with one of the proceeding occupations must: Be employed full time Have been employed as such for four or more consecutive years Certify they have a good faith intent to continue such employment for at least one year following their closing date on the mortgage be in good standing with their employer, AND Meet requirements set by the HUD secretary to ensure the insurance of the mortgage presents an acceptable risk to the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund ###",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T02:59:24Z https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2343,Balderson Introduces Latest Workforce Bill to Help Keep America's Trains Running On-Time,2022-07-29,2022,2022-07,Republican,House,OH,Troy Balderson,B001306,balderson.house.gov,balderson,https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27&Page=9,scraper,"WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Troy Balderson (OH-12) introduced the Rail Employee Training Modernization Act today, aimed at eliminating cumbersome red tape by allowing aspiring freight rail employees to complete certain training requirements virtually. ""This is yet another example of the ways government bureaucracy is making the ongoing supply chain problems worse, not better,"" said Rep. Balderson. ""Modernizing these requirements should be a no-brainer. We must take every possible step to streamline regulatory barriers that are worsening labor shortages in the freight rail industry, without compromising safety, standards, or effectiveness."" Classroom-based instruction is only made available when a large enough cohort of new hires is available to fill a classroom. This antiquated model contributes to delayed entry into the workforce and ultimately contributes to the shortage of available workers, which is worsening the ongoing supply chain crisis. Existing regulations require applicants to enroll in centralized classroom instruction, often far away from their homes and employers. This outdated requirement presents a significant barrier to entry into the freight rail industry, which is already experiencing severe labor shortages. ""Typically, it can take up to 6 months for a newly hired conductor to complete the classroom, simulator, and on-the-job training before than can begin work in the field. Rep. Balderson's commonsense legislation will help accelerate the process by allowing the classroom session to go virtual,"" said Ian Jefferies, president and CEO of the American Association of Railroads.

This legislation would create common-sense reforms to reduce human trafficking, increase bilateral efforts to stop crime at the southern border and reduce illegal immigration. “Currently, criminal cartels have more control of our southern border than our border patrol,” said Rep. Davidson. ""These cartels are responsible for the human and drug trafficking going on in our country and endangering our communities across America.” Last year, drug overdose was the number one cause of death in adults 18 to 45 years old. So far in fiscal year 2022, 8,400 pounds of fentanyl have been seized by Border Control, which is enough to kill every American seven times. In addition, overdose deaths involving fentanyl have risen by 55.6% and are the driver of the increase in drug-related deaths. “Drugs are bad, but now they are poisoned with fentanyl. Cartels not only control the market, now they control the border,” said Rep. Davidson. ""No one can imagine their child dying from taking one pill, one time, but you must imagine it,” said Mark Murphy, a constituent of Ohio’s 8th District, whose 21-year-old daughter died of fentanyl poisoning. “It is happening every day. Tens of thousands of Americans are dying from fentanyl poisoning/murder on our watch every year. It cannot stand. It must stop today, or tomorrow it will be someone you love."" Biden’s open border policies are responsible for the chaos at our border, making every state a border state. The Biden administration’s lack of action continues to enable criminal cartels to profit billions of dollars off the suffering and death of Americans. “There is a crisis at our southern border,” said Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones. “I’ve been there. The lack of security at our border is contributing to people dying, including here in Ohio. I support Rep. Davidson’s bill and I’m glad he’s focused on the issue.” The Stop the Cartels Act will secure our southern border and protect Americans by: Imposing harsher sanctions on cartels and broadening sanctions to include individuals who provide cartels support Holding Mexico accountable for weakened intelligence sharing by reducing foreign aid and demanding cooperation with U.S. law enforcement Requiring the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to release extensive monthly reports on the status and number of migrants entering the country Ending family detainment separation during pending immigration proceedings Eliminating Sanctuary Cities and requiring DHS to enforce immigration laws Increasing funds for states to tackle the opioid epidemic “Border security is national security. If you judge by the results, it seems both parties have for years worked to create, cultivate, and protect massive black markets for the benefits of the cartels,” said Rep. Davidson. “This is unacceptable. It’s time we take action to protect our communities across the country and that begins with securing our border.” Original co-sponsors include Representatives Clay Higgins (R-LA), Tom Tiffany (R-WI), Scott Perry (R-PA), Ralph Norman (R-SC), Ronny Jackson (R-TX), Pete Sessions (R-TX), Ben Cline (R-VA), Kay Granger (R-TX), Jim Banks (R-IN), and Lauren Boebert (R-CO).",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T02:49:02Z https://turner.house.gov/2022/7/rep-turner-introduces-the-infant-act-to-prevent-future-baby-formula-crises,Rep.

This bill restores pensions of Delphi Salaried Retirees (DSR) that were terminated following General Motors' bankruptcy in 2009. Turner introduced the bipartisan legislation in March 2022 alongside Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-5). ""For over 13 years now I have dedicated my time and attention to restoring the pensions to Delphi Salaried Retirees,"" said Turner. ""It is our responsibility as members of Congress to address this injustice. We finally have the chance to rectify this wrong. Stand up for the 20,000 hard-working Americans who want what is rightfully theirs."" Watch Turner's full remarks on the House floor here. “If you work hard and play by the rules, you should be able to retire with dignity,” said Kildee. “What happened to the Delphi salaried retirees is wrong.

""The Delphi Salaried Retirees have dedicated thousands of hours, faced setbacks, and made many sacrifices over the past thirteen years. We are very thankful for Representative Turner leading the way and helping us get to where we are today."" Background: The “Susan Muffley Act” provides backpay for the pension payments that should have been received for the past 13 years via a lump sum payment equivalent to the difference between any benefits that have paid out and what retirees would have been paid without limitations, plus 6 percent interest. It would also restore full pension payments going forward as if never disrupted. There are more than 21 thousand Delphi retirees impacted by this legislation, with approximately 5,180 retirees residing in Ohio. In the Great Recession of 2009, car parts manufacturer Delphi faced bankruptcy. The company was acquired by General Motors (GM), which also faced financial hardship during that time. As part of GM’s bailout, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) took trusteeship of Delphi employees’ pensions at the direction of the Obama Administration. One group employed by Delphi was a group of 20 thousand salaried employees, including those who worked at the company’s plant in Dayton. Retirement benefits for these employees included a single-employer pension. GM decided to close the plant and voluntarily terminate the fully funded pension of the salaried employees. At that point, the PBGC became the sole trustee of the plan. The salaried employees then formed the Delphi Salaried Retirees Association (DSRA). Since then, Congressman Turner has been working closely with the DSRA to restore their benefits throughout the Obama, Trump, and Biden Administrations. In October 2020, at the urging of Congressman Turner, former President Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum directing the PBGC to examine the financial status of Delphi Salaried Retirees’ pension fund and to investigate administrative or legislative pathways for the restoration of the fund. In December 2021, Turner filed an Amicus Brief when the DSRA filed for Cert with the U.S. Supreme Court in the Dennis Black, et al. v. PBGC case. This past January the case was denied cert, thus Turner authored the “Susan Muffley Act” as the only option to wholly restore the pensions.

We’re not trying to arbitrarily ‘cancel’ any one industry, we want all of our resources to work together to provide American families with reliable, affordable energy,” said Congressman Kevin Hern- OK. “While Democrats wage war on our most accessible energy sources, driving fuel and utility costs higher than ever, Republicans are prepared to unleash America’s energy potential – using ALL our energy resources.” “President Biden’s war on fossil fuels has led to the most dramatic energy crisis this country has seen since the 1970s. Record-high gas prices and rising costs for consumers all point to the urgency of embracing our potential as a global energy leader,” said Congressman Rick Allen-GA. “To reclaim our energy independence and return our nation to prosperity, Congress — and the Biden administration — must work to advance policies that put American energy first. We must have an all-of-the above energy portfolio, including nuclear and other critical alternative energy sources like we saw here today, but Democrats must also reverse course and acknowledge that oil and natural gas remain essential in delivering the baseload power necessary to sustain American homes, businesses, and livelihoods.” “The United States has the resources needed to be an energy powerhouse. Whether it is a hydropower or nuclear plant in South Carolina, or the Bakken oil patch in North Dakota, we need to empower them to provide the energy Americans need, not burden them with endless and harmful regulations,” said Congressman Armstrong-ND. “I thank Congressman Duncan for leading this delegation of Republicans in highlighting our support for unleashing domestic energy production.” “As Americans are facing intense financial pressures to fill their tanks and cool their homes, President Biden continues to insist on a one-size-fits-all approach to energy that allows Green New Deal zealots to pick winners and losers,” said Congressman Ron Estes-KS. “Instead, Republicans want to pursue an all-of-the-above strategy that provides clean, affordable energy options produced right here in the United States. It's clear that we have the capacity to expand energy production in our country, and it's the path that would provide the most benefit to consumers today and for decades to come.” “Under this administration, gas prices have hit historic highs and energy costs are continuing to soar as a result of their radical and deeply flawed America last policies,” said Congressman Drew Ferguson- GA. “Instead of picking winners and losers in the energy industry, Republicans stand united in supporting the “all-of-the-above” energy approach needed to ensure America is energy independent, and not subject to the uncertainty – and national security risks – of being reliant on foreign imports. I was pleased to join Rep. Jeff Duncan and my colleagues to learn about the work, research, and partnerships in the energy space taking place at Clemson University, along with touring a local hydro facility, the Oconee Nuclear Station, and the Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative. These energy programs and facilities are a prime example of how communities across America can utilize innovative solutions and natural resources to safeguard our energy sector.” “Energy independence is crucial to our National Security, which is why we must utilize every resource we have at our disposal,” said Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger- TN. “Nuclear, hydropower, and natural gas are all available to us on American soil! If the progressive climate warriors want clean energy, then here you go! These forms of energy are clean and efficient and can be acquired right here at home. This administration isn’t anti-energy, they are anti-American energy. We cannot afford to turn to our adversaries to supply our energy needs when we can provide clean energy, create jobs, and protect our national security with “all of the above” solutions here at home.” “American families are suffering under misguided energy policies that have driven costs to record levels,” said Congressman Richard Hudson- NC. “Instead, we must pursue an all-of-the-above strategy and unleash American energy to bring down costs and defend our national security. I thank Congressman Duncan for leading a delegation to learn more about the domestic energy potential that exists throughout our nation. President Biden and Washington Democrats should prioritize these resources over dealing with our adversaries."" ### Bad Creek Hydro Station: Bad Creek Hydro station is a facility in Oconee County, South Carolina that generates electricity by pumping water from Lake Jocassee to Bad Creek Reservoir and then from Bad Creek Reservoir back to Lake Jocassee. Bad Creek reservoir is a 367-acre body of water which is essentially a massive battery used to store energy from Lake Jocassee.

Our military is falling short of recruiting goals but continues to fire thousands of troops over a politicized vaccine mandate. As passed, this NDAA prioritizes radical climate change initiatives over combat readiness. Furthermore, this bill not only fails to secure America’s borders but also fails to provide adequate oversight of the vast amounts of taxpayer dollars spent protecting the borders of other nations (notably Ukraine and NATO).

This bill would give $60 million to the National Archives and Records Administration to address the backlog of requests from veterans for critical military records needed to access government benefits. After voting against the bill, Representative Warren Davidson (R-OH) made the following statement: “The records request backlog at the National Personnel Records Center is truly a disservice to our veterans and their families,” said Rep. Davidson. ""For the past two years, I have advocated for its full reopening to provide our veterans with its critical services. Despite Congress having already sent millions of taxpayer dollars to the National Archives to address the backlog due to COVID 19, the agency has continuously failed its obligation to provide our veterans with the responsiveness they deserve. ""Rather than present a plan of action, this bill allocates another $60 million in taxpayer funds, permits the same telework policies that caused the backlog in the first place, and neglects to hold this administration responsible. ""The NPRC’s lack of action is simply unacceptable. I urge the administration to use every available resource to ensure all veterans have access to the services they have earned. ""It’s way past time for America to uphold its promise to those who sacrificed for our freedom.” Background: Since COVID LOCKDOWNS, Rep. Davidson (R-OH) has advocated for the importance of the NPRC’s role in processing military records for veterans to receive critical government benefits. Without these records, veterans have had to wait extensive periods to access their promised benefits. Others, unfortunately, have been buried without honors as their families could not obtain the records in time. In December 2020, Congress allocated relief funds to the center in hopes that an infusion of funds would help the center resume operations. As of April 2021, just under 500,000 records requests remained unfulfilled by the NPRC. Veterans need these records to access the VA benefits they earned while serving the country. Everything from medical care to student loans to burial services—and even COVID vaccinations—require proper documentation. In April 2021, Rep. Davidson led a letter to President Biden and David Ferriero, Archivist of the United States National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) requesting immediate action to eliminate the significant backlog of veteran records requests. The lawmakers demanded information about the administration’s plans to expedite records requests. In April 2021, Rep. Davidson visited the NPRC in St. Louis, Missouri after months of unsatisfactory progress from the NPRC in clearing a nationwide backlog. In January 2022, Rep. Davidson and 112 House Republicans sent a letter to David Ferriero, calling on the NPRC to fully reopen. In March 2022, after nearly two years of being closed, the center reopened but currently faces an increased amount of service records requests backlog. ###",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T02:49:02Z https://turner.house.gov/2022/7/rep-turner-urges-biden-to-continue-strong-support-for-abraham-accords,Rep.

Rosser Post Office.' ""The second-oldest of 17 siblings, Mr. Rosser always had a sense of duty to his family and country. First enlisting in the United States Army in 1946, Rosser served as a paratrooper for three years before returning home to Ohio to work as a coal miner. ""In February of 1951, he learned that his brother, Richard Rosser, was killed while fighting in the Korean War and immediately reenlisted to avenge his death. ""In Korea, Rosser served as a forward observer, attached to the Infantry Division known as the ""Iron Triangle."" At 20 degrees below zero, they were sent on a mission to raid a Chinese Communist-held mountaintop outpost and dismantle their winter apparatus. ""Tragically, the operation went south as Rosser's group was met with fierce enemy fire. Heavily outnumbered, Rosser charged up the mountain with just a rifle and one grenade. He was able to suppress hundreds of enemy soldiers and returned to the bottom of the hill to advise the Captain to withdraw. Despite his wounds, he scaled the mountain - directly into opposing fire - several more times to rescue fellow soldiers. ""His actions that day were the embodiment of courage, valor, and patriotism. ""Upon his return home, Rosser was awarded the Medal of Honor in a White House Rose Garden ceremony led by President Harry S. Truman. ""After his military service, Rosser worked as a letter carrier for the United States Postal Service, advocated for veterans, and was inducted into the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame. Sadly, Mr. Rosser passed away - at age 90 - in August of 2020. ""Army Sgt. 1st Class Ronald E.

""The licensing process for truck drivers should - most importantly - ensure high standards of safety and competence for those behind the wheel. Instead, redundancies and overly burdensome requirements are worsening driver shortages, and pushing the limits of our existing workforce,"" said Congressman Balderson, a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. ""The American people are hurting from empty shelves to skyrocketing prices on everyday essentials. Our letter suggests safe steps that can help reduce the supply chain backlog by ensuring the uninterrupted delivery of motor fuel products that American consumers rely on."" Amid ongoing supply chain and price pressures plaguing the transportation industry, a national shortage of qualified drivers is making it difficult to deliver products in a timely manner. This shortage is particularly severe within the motor fuel industry, which requires additional hazardous materials license endorsements under federal law. “The HAZMAT truck driver shortage is serious, and as we approach the Fourth of July travel weekend, the Energy Marketers of America looks forward to working with the Administration on providing short-term solutions to get qualified HAZMAT truck drivers on the road that will help alleviate prices at the pump. We thank the 67 House lawmakers, especially Congressman Balderson, who signed the letter to elevate this critical issue to top Biden Administration officials,” said Rob Underwood, President of the Energy Marketers of America. “As we continue to work to untangle the supply chain, a significant tool at our disposal would be streamlining licensing and credentialing processes to make it easier for hard-working Americans to get into important jobs, like transporting fuel,"" said Edwin Gilroy, Senior Vice President of Legislative Affairs for the American Trucking Association. “Congressman Balderson’s suggestion to streamline and simplify the training for hazardous materials transportation, as well as pending legislation to reduce redundant background checks, are two positive steps in that direction and we believe deserve serious consideration.” The letter, sent to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg Friday morning, recommends DOT consider the following changes: Modifying the hazardous materials training and testing requirements to focus on HAZMAT-specific education. Streamlining redundancies in the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Security Threat enrollment process that would allow Commerical Drivers License (CDL) holders to enroll in more than one program: Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC); HAZMAT; and TSA Pre-Check.

Turner,T000463,turner.house.gov,turner,https://turner.house.gov/press-releases,scraper,"WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) joined his colleague Congressman Dave Joyce (OH-14) in introducing the Fighting Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Act alongside Congresswoman Shontel Brown (OH-11) and Congresswoman Deborah Ross (NC-02). This bipartisan legislation, which the lawmakers chose to introduce during PTSD Awareness Month, aims to help police, fire, emergency services and 911 personnel cope with the unique and immense stress they face on the job. Specifically, the bill would help establish mental health programs for America’s law enforcement and first responders who often endure long-term challenges from providing life-saving services in moments of crisis. Senator Chuck Grassley has introduced the legislation in the Senate. “Each day our first responders face immense stress and heavy responsibilities as they keep our communities safe. When they need our help, it is our duty to respond. The Fighting Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Actwill provide our first responders with the mental health support they rightly deserve when they need it,”said Congressman Turner. “As Mayor and now in Congress, I have worked alongside our first responders to make sure they have the professional and personal resources needed to safely do their jobs. This bipartisan legislation continues that effort.” “Police officers and other public safety personnel are the first line of defense in our communities when disaster strikes,” said Congressman Joyce. “Unfortunately, the danger and stress they face on the job doesn’t just disappear when they’re off the clock. I’m proud to introduce this bill to ensure law enforcement officers and first responders have access to the mental health care they need to cope with trauma they face while selflessly serving our communities. I thank my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for joining me in this important effort and urge the rest of the House to support this bipartisan bill so that the men and women who risk their lives to save others are able to get the care they need.” “While serving on the frontlines protecting our communities, our police officers and first responders often face traumatic situations that can leave them with invisible wounds,” said Rep. Brown. “In fact, as many as 15 percent of all officers in the U.S. suffer from PTSD, which takes a toll on their well-being and impacts their decision making. This long overdue bipartisan legislation would bring us one step closer to ensuring our public safety officers can access much-needed mental health resources for PTSD.” “Our first responders and law enforcement officers put their lives on the line to protect our communities and this service can take a tremendous toll,” said Congresswoman Ross. “These careers often pose serious physical and mental risks, resulting in higher rates of post-traumatic stress disorder and related mental illnesses than in the general population. This bipartisan bill will ensure that public servants who are delivering life-saving aid have access to the resources and care they need to stay healthy and continue protecting communities in North Carolina and across the country.” Police officers, firefighters, emergency medical technicians, and 911 dispatchers routinely encounter high-stress situations, making them more likely to suffer from PTSD and less likely to receive help for their illness than the average American. In fact, it is estimated that as many as 15% of public safety officers currently working suffer from PTSD, with documented rates higher among female officers. Despite these statistics, only 3-5% of the 18,000 police departments across the country have suicide prevention training programs. A 2019 Office of Community Oriented Policing Services report found that many law enforcement agencies do not have the capacity, funding, or local access to mental health professionals necessary to support their officers. In an effort to reverse these statistics and direct federal resources to law enforcement agencies to better support America’s local heroes struggling with PTSD, the Fighting Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Act would require the Attorney General to establish at least one evidence-based treatment and preventative care program within the Department of Justice to help public safety officers with job-related PTSD. The legislation would also require the Attorney General to consult relevant stakeholders while crafting the program(s), including federal, state, tribal, territorial, and local agencies employing public safety officers as well as non-governmental organizations that support law enforcement officers and their families. By doing so, this bipartisan legislation lays the groundwork for much-needed action aimed at offering increased support to law enforcement officers and first responders struggling with PTSD.

Balderson's resolution recognizes American natural gas as an affordable, green energy source and calls for the United States to commit to an ""all-of-the-above"" approach to meeting our energy needs. In Ohio alone, natural gas has already reduced carbon emissions from power generation by an astounding 38 percent. ""It's green. It's clean.

""It's abundant, affordable, and American-made. Thanks to cutting-edge innovation, it's cleaner and safer than ever before. And Ohio agrees. 70 percent of Ohioans support natural gas and oil development - and 82 percent say the natural gas and oil industry is essential to their daily lives."" ""The Biden Administration's energy policies are inflicting needless financial pain on American families and businesses, and, thus far, it has not offered meaningful solutions,"" said Chris Ventura, executive director at the Consumer Energy Alliance. ""We hope the House of Representatives will bring Congressman Balderson's common-sense resolution to the Floor for bipartisan approval - and help people across Ohio and America suffering from twin energy and inflation crises."" ""The fact is domestic energy, produced right here in Ohio, is not only affordable and reliable, but it's also clean. It's time that those in Washington start talking about it that way,"" said Adrienne Robbins, spokesperson for the Utica Energy Alliance. ""The resolution Representative Balderson is proposing here today will help turn that tide... allowing lawmakers, and everyone else to see what Ohioans already know - that natural gas brings incredible benefits to our economy, environment, and country."" Rep. Balderson's resolution has also received support from the Ohio Gas Association, Marcellus Shale Coalition, and the Gas and Oil Association of West Virginia.

In the resolution, the members wrote: “We are united in our support of these two critical applications. Finland and Sweden embody the democratic values that NATO was founded upon in the Washington Treaty, and their accession to the Trans-Atlantic Alliance will strengthen regional security. What Vladimir Putin will never understand is that an alliance is born of mutual respect and cooperation not fear and intimidation. NATO will always be stronger because our nations want to stand together.” Finland and Sweden, which are historically neutral countries, rapidly shifted their defense policy as the Russian Federation wages a cruel and unnecessary war against its neighbor Ukraine. Finland remained neutral during the Cold War despite living under constant threat from the Soviet Union and sharing a roughly 800 mile border with the U.S.S.R. Sweden has remained neutral since at least 1814 despite the many wars on the European continent since then. Rather than deter countries from joining NATO, the Kremlin has done the opposite, driving those into the alliance as a reaction to reckless aggression. Finland and Sweden formally applied to NATO on May 18th.

Recent incidents, like the ransomware attack on the Colonial Gas Pipeline, an attempted water poisoning at a Florida treatment plant, or last year’s attempted cyberattack on the Port of Houston, are just a few examples of the threats that inspired this bipartisan legislation, which will both bolster the energy sector’s growing workforce and strengthen the United States’ ability to address future cyberattacks. Specifically, the bill will create an Energy Cybersecurity University Leadership Program, which will provide grants and financial assistance to graduate students and postdoctoral researchers studying cybersecurity and energy infrastructure. “Cyber threats on America’s energy sector have never been greater and must be met with urgent action to protect the critical infrastructure that makes modern life possible,” said Congressman Carey. “Establishing the Energy Cybersecurity University Leadership Program will strengthen our resilience by further developing a high-skilled workforce with energy-specific cybersecurity expertise. America must be unified in our response to foreign adversaries seeking to attack our energy networks, which is why I am proud to introduce this bi-partisan legislation with Representative Deborah Ross and look forward working together toward its passage.” “To confront growing cyber threats against our country’s critical energy infrastructure, we must make real investments in a strong and diverse workforce ready to meet any challenge,” said Congresswoman Ross. “I’m proud to represent much of the Research Triangle, home to institutions and universities that are propelling our nation’s innovation in cybersecurity and clean energy. From NC State to Wake Tech, this legislation will better equip our brilliant students and researchers in North Carolina and beyond to tackle this changing cybersecurity landscape. It is imperative that we work together to address threats against the United States’ security across sectors, and I’m pleased to introduced this bipartisan legislation with Congressman Carey.” Many cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the energy sector are only discovered once they have already been exploited in attempted or successful attacks. Compounding the issue, the United States’ energy infrastructure is growing more susceptible to advanced methods of cyberattack as the energy sector integrates more complex technologies. A robust energy security workforce will help the energy sector better prepare for, respond to, and combat this growing threat environment. The Energy Cybersecurity University Leadership Program addresses these workforce and research needs by creating a grant program at the Department of Energy that: Provides financial assistance for scholarships, fellowships, and R&D projects at colleges and universities to support graduate students studying the convergence of cybersecurity and energy infrastructure Provides students and postdoctoral researchers with traineeship research experiences at the Department of Energy’s National Laboratories and utilities Expands outreach to Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Minority Serving Institutions, and Tribal Colleges and Universities",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T02:19:30Z https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2274,Balderson: Tone deaf green-at-all cost argument empowered Putin.

Mellino uses Intel’s recent announcement to argue for incentivizing renewable energy production (and reliance) in Ohio–all while ignoring the massive benefits of natural gas for Ohio’s consumers, the environment, and job growth. The argument is tone-deaf to the need for reliable base load energy as Ohioans see skyrocketing energy costs and rising prices at the pump. We’ve also seen the stark reality unfolding in Europe, as Vladimir Putin wages an unjust and illegal war in Ukraine. When green-at-all-cost advocates in Europe shut off nuclear and fossil fuel power generation years ago, without concern for their own baseload needs, they found themselves beholden to the likes of Putin for oil and natural gas. We cannot allow ourselves to fall victim to their same fate. I applaud Intel’s announcement of an initial $20 billion investment, putting Licking County at the epicenter of a new Silicon Heartland, and Ohio at the forefront of lessening our reliance on China and other countries for semiconductors, which are vital to both our national security and our economy. I also support the decision by Intel to set goals for renewable generation. Doing so is aspirational but also acknowledges a reality ignored by many — that renewables fall short and blindly flipping the switch would increase — not lessen — our reliance on bad actors. China supplies many of the key components in solar panels, including more than 80 percent of the world’s polysilicon, a raw material that most solar panels use to absorb energy from sunlight. In 2019, less than 5 percent of the world’s polysilicon came from American-owned companies. We have a long way to go. If the U.S. wants to compete in renewables, we must bring critical production back home, not increase investments in Chinese technology. That is just one reason the Intel announcement is so profound – it is a crucial step in reclaiming U.S. manufacturing leadership on the world stage, albeit in semiconductors, not solar panels. Reclaiming American manufacturing leadership in one area — only to sacrifice it in another — is counterproductive. Others will surely follow, but the reality is, going fully renewable is not ready for prime time. That’s why I favor an all-of-the-above approach to meeting the power generation needs of Ohio’s growing economy. This includes both renewables and natural gas, which is clean, affordable, and abundant — and it’s right here in Ohio. By setting reasonable long-term goals, companies like Intel allow themselves the flexibility of meeting their initial power needs while working to responsibly transition to renewables. Transition is the operative word. While renewable technologies continue to develop, Ohio is uniquely positioned as a leader thanks to an abundant supply of natural gas. It is estimated that the Marcellus and Utica shale deposits combined have a total of 214 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas. Natural gas that can power the country in addition to reducing the carbon dioxide emissions of Ohio’s electric generation by 38 percent. We must reject the false notion that a cleaner environment can only be achieved at the peril of the United States' energy security and independence. That means avoiding the dangerous green-at-all-cost rhetoric that ultimately led to the predicament that Europe now faces. At both the local level and geopolitical level, energy transitions must be guided by reality, not rhetoric.

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

Lieu (D-CA) introduced the House version of legislation that will require public reporting and notice of the hundreds of thousands of criminal surveillance orders issued by courts each year. The bill, which was introduced in the Senate by Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Steve Daines (R-MT), will add transparency to the government-ordered surveillance of people’s emails, location, web browsing records, and other digital information. Americans who are the targets of phone wiretaps or bank record subpoenas must eventually be notified by the government of that surveillance, but the government is not required to notify targets of certain electronic surveillance. Hundreds of thousands of criminal surveillance orders are issued by courts each year and those orders can be sealed indefinitely. By keeping government surveillance hidden for years, even when the targets are never charged with any crime, subjects may never know they were surveilled. “This bill reaffirms our duty to protect the privacy of American citizens and limits the government from accessing information without their knowledge,” Rep. Davidson said. “We must ensure our laws keep up with rapidly changing technology to protect the privacy of American citizens,” Rep. Lieu said. “Americans have a right to know if their emails or other digital information have been obtained by the government. The Government Surveillance Transparency Act ensures the government can’t hide surveillance data forever by ending the practice of years-long sealing and gag orders. I’m grateful to my colleagues in the House and Senate for their partnership on this bipartisan legislation to increase transparency and protect Americans’ data privacy.” “When the government obtains someone’s emails or other digital information, users have a right to know,” Sen. Wyden said. “Our bill ensures that no investigation will be compromised, but makes sure the government can’t hide surveillance forever by misusing sealing and gag orders to prevent the American people from understanding the enormous scale of government surveillance, as well as ensuring that the targets eventually learn their personal information has been searched.” “It’s simple—Montanans have a Constitutional right to know if their personal information has been searched or seized or if they’re being investigated by the government,” Sen. Daines said. “We must increase transparency regarding government surveillance while maintaining the integrity of investigations.” The legislation has been endorsed by: Access Now, Americans for Prosperity, Brennan Center for Justice, Center for Democracy & Technology, Color of Change, Demand Progress, DuckDuckGo, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Electronic Privacy Information Center, Fix The Court, Free Law Project, FreedomWorks, Open Technology Institute, Project on Government Oversight, Project for Privacy and Surveillance Accountability, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and Salesforce.

Turner,T000463,turner.house.gov,turner,https://turner.house.gov/press-releases,scraper,"WASHINGTON - Today, together withforty Republican members of the House and Senate Armed Services Committee, Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) sent a letter urging President Biden to include a 5 percent increase above inflation for the defense spending in his fiscal year 2023 budget request. In the letter, the members, led by U.S. Representative Mike Rogers (AL-03) and U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK), ranking members of the House and Senate Armed Services Committee, encouraged the President to reject progressives’ push to cut or freeze defense spending, to target investments in programs that will “modernize the force and fill ongoing readiness gaps,” and to ensure that rate of growth outpaces current record levels of inflation. “As you prepare your fiscal year 2023 budget for submission to Congress, we strongly encourage you to reject the approach you took last year when you proposed to cut defense spending below the rate of inflation,” the members wrote. “Over the last year, the threats to our national security have grown exponentially. “This is a crucial period for our national security,” the letter continued. “If we do not make the investments our military needs today, we will not be able to defend our nation or our allies in the future. The security of the free world depends on a credible American military. We must work together to ensure the men and women of our Armed Services have the resources and support they need to successfully carry out their missions now and for decades to come.” The full letter can be read here and below: Dear President Biden, As you prepare your fiscal year 2023 (FY23) budget for submission to Congress, we strongly encourage you to reject the approach you took last year when you proposed to cut defense spending below the rate of inflation. Instead, we urge you to request a 5 percent increase over the inflation-adjusted FY22 enacted level. Since the publication of the 2018 National Defense Strategy, and particularly over the past year, the threats to our national security have grown exponentially. Unprecedented Chinese military modernization has left us behind in key areas in the Western Pacific, and each day the Chinese Communist Party more clearly shows us that its interests are diametrically opposed to ours. Putin’s aggression against Ukraine has already left us and our NATO allies less secure, and his appetite and erratic behavior is likely to grow. There is much more work to do in Eastern Europe to secure the peace. Your decision to unconditionally withdraw U.S. forces from Afghanistan allowed terrorist organizations to regain their capability to strike the American homeland. Similarly, little progress has been made to deter the North Koreans, and Iranian aggression has escalated, with the potential for further escalation in the near future. We understand that despite these threats to our national security, many on the left continue to encourage you to cut or freeze spending on our national defense. As you know, during consideration of the FY22 National Defense Authorization Act and the FY22 Consolidated Appropriations Act, overwhelming bipartisan majorities in both houses of Congress voted to reject that short-sighted approach. Instead, Congress acted in a bipartisan manner to provide nearly $30 billion more than you requested. We hope that action convinces you that overwhelming political support exists for increasing immediate investment in our national defense. We also urge you to use your FY23 budget request to target investments in programs that will modernize the force and fill ongoing readiness gaps. Specifically, it is imperative that we improve force proficiency on new battlefields such as cyber; continue work at DoD and the National Nuclear Security Administration to modernize our nuclear triad; grow our naval and projection forces; and quickly incorporate the latest innovations and enhancements into warfighting capabilities, including air and sealift, space, missile defense, munitions, and electronic warfare. Finally, in order to protect the buying power of these investments, we need to ensure the budget achieves real growth. Not since 1982 has our nation experienced this level of inflation. It is driving up the cost of fuel, supplies, and labor for the defense industrial base and the Department of Defense. Failing to provide a budget request that exceeds the rate of inflation equates to a cut in real dollars — a cut we can no longer afford. This is a crucial period for our national security. If we do not make the investments our military needs today, we will not be able to defend our nation or our allies in the future. The security of the free world depends on a credible American military. We must work together to ensure the men and women of our Armed Services have the resources and support they need to successfully carry out their missions now and for decades to come.",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T02:06:17Z https://turner.house.gov/2022/3/turner-s-statement-on-the-passing-of-secretary-madeleine-albright,Turner's statement on the passing of Secretary Madeleine Albright,2022-03-23,2022,2022-03,Republican,House,OH,Michael R.

The lawsuit, Massie et al v. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, seeks to end the CDC's illegal mask mandate for individuals traveling on commercial airlines. Massie's lawsuit takes on additional significance in the face of news reports indicating the Biden Administration is extending the CDC's mask mandate until April 18. ""The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not have the legal authority to force people traveling on commercial airlines to wear masks,"" said Rep. Thomas Massie. ""Congress never passed a law requiring masks on commercial flights. This lawsuit targets the faceless bureaucrats who are behind the CDC's unscientific regulation so that this illegal mask mandate can be brought to a permanent end."" Massie et al v. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention contains two primary claims: First, none of the statutes or regulations cited by the CDC for the authority to mandate that individuals wear masks on commercial airlines, conveyances, and at transportation hubs, permit the CDC to implement or enforce this mandate. Second, even if Congress had granted the CDC the authority to promulgate the mask mandate, the granting of this authority would violate a principle known as the ""non-delegation doctrine."" Representative Massie and his co-plaintiffs are asking a federal court to declare that ""the mask mandate is beyond the CDC’s statutory authority or is unconstitutional."" Further, the plaintiffs seek an injunction that prohibits the CDC, or anyone acting on the CDC's behalf, from enforcing the mask mandate. In addition to Rep. Davidson (R-OH), fifteen Republicans have signed on to Massie et al v. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as co-plaintiffs. They are: Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA), Rep. Bob Good (R-VA), Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL), Rep. Alex Mooney (R-WV), Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL), Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC), Rep. Bill Posey (R-FL), Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT), and Rep. Chip Roy, (R-TX). ""Americans are fed up with political measures linked to public health and deserve representation that will take action to bring these unconstitutional mask mandates to an end,"" said Rep. Warren Davidson. ""The CDC lacks the legal authority to make law, it hasn’t used rule-making consistent with the Administrative Procedures Act, and shouldn’t be able to use coercion to compel airlines or TSA to enforce its mandates."" ""I’ve been leading the charge in the Senate to end these unscientific, unconstitutional mask mandates, and am proud to continue the fight by joining Rep. Massie on this effort,"" Sen. Rand Paul said. ""The CDC’s mask mandate does not protect public health and is beyond the agency’s statutory authority,"" said Rep. Andy Biggs. ""That’s why nearly a year ago I introduced H.R.4441 - Travel Mask Mandate Repeal Act of 2021 that repealed mask mandates on public transportation. CDC’s tyrannical bureaucrats must be held accountable for placing anti-science restrictions on individuals who have faced hardship for some time now. Mask mandates are old news, and are only being kept in place by those who relish controlling our day-to-day lives."" ""The CDC’s arbitrary mask mandate has caused so much damage to this country. There was never any science behind their mandate, and now it's time for America to officially close the chapter on the CDC's political science charade. I’m proud to join Rep. Massie in filing this lawsuit,"" Rep. Dan Bishop said. ""From asthmatic toddlers to elderly grandmothers, millions of Americans have been subject to Joe Biden’s mask mandate on planes, even while liberal politicians fly maskless on their private jets,"" said Rep. Brian Mast. ""The CDC’s refusal to let go of the power and end this unscientific, big government edict has forced us to take action. I’m confident that the judicial system will see this for what it is: an unconstitutional overreach that never should have been allowed in the first place."" ""Government bureaucrats desperate for relevancy are waging a war against everyday American citizens and their constitutional freedoms,"" said Rep. Barry Moore. ""The unscientific mask mandate for commercial air travel should be ended immediately, and I am proud to join my friend Rep. Massie in this lawsuit to end this charade permanently."" ""The CDC has forced Americans to wear masks on commercial flights for two years without legal standing. A mandate is not law, and Congress never passed legislation codifying the CDC’s mask wearing demands,"" said Rep. Matt Rosendale. ""It is unconstitutional for the Director of the CDC to suppress the freedoms of the American people in such a way, and political pressure to control the fearmongering narrative of COVID-19 needs to end."" ""From the start of the pandemic, the CDC has issued arbitrary and brazenly politicized guidance that was not authorized by Congress,"" said Rep. Chip Roy. ""Never was this more obvious than at the State of the Union where attendees were told they could go mask-less just days before the CDC renewed its mask mandate on public transportation. It's time to end the fear-driven tyranny. I am proud to join my good friend Rep. Thomas Massie in this lawsuit."" Massie et al v. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky.

Turner,T000463,turner.house.gov,turner,https://turner.house.gov/press-releases,scraper,"WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) joined fellow Colleagues in introducing a bipartisan, bicameral piece of legislation that would help restore retirement benefits to over 20,000 Delphi Salaried Retirees. Reps. Dan Kildee (MI-05),Tim Ryan (OH-13), Marcy Kaptur (OH-09), Bill Johnson (OH-06), Debbie Dingell (MI-12) and Warren Davidson (OH-08) are leading the efforts in the House and Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Gary Peters (D-MI) and Rob Portman (R-OH) are introducing partner legislation in the Senate. “The Delphi Salaried Retirees were robbed of their hard-earned benefits when the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation terminated their pension plans in 2009,” said Congressman Turner. “Today, we stand united in demanding moral and legal justice for the thousands of retirees who have yet to see some or all of their pensions. Congress must pass the Susan Muffley Act so we can finally repay these men and women what they are rightfully owed.” For over a decade, the Delphi Salaried Retirees have been fighting to restore their benefits. In September 2009, the Delphi Salaried Retirees Association (DSRA) filed a lawsuit against the PBGC to restore their pension benefits. After losing decisions at lower courts, the DSRA petitioned to take their case to the U.S. Supreme Court. Now that the U.S. Supreme Court recently denied this request, congressional action is the only option for restoring their pensions. The legislation is named after Susan Muffley who was part of the DSRA’s core leadership in the effort to restore their pensions. Her husband, David, worked at Delphi as an electronics technician for 31 years, but lost the full value of his pension in 2009. Despite health problems, Susan avoided seeing her doctor given her family’s financial constraints due to losing their pension. She was ultimately diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and passed away on August 9, 2012. “If you work hard and play by the rules, you should be able to retire with dignity,” said Congressman Kildee. “The government rescued GM but left these workers hanging. That’s why what happened to the Delphi Salaried Retirees is such an injustice. These hardworking retirees have waited too long to receive the benefits they earned, and I am proud to introduce legislation today to finally deliver. “After years of work by workers and retirees Ohio and Michigan, it’s past time to restore the full benefits of the Delphi Salaried Retirees,” said Senator Brown. “I’ll keep working with members of both parties and the White House to get results for these retirees.” “Michiganders who have worked hard their entire lives and played by the rules deserve the benefits they earned,” said Senator Peters. “To deny workers the ability to retire with dignity after a committed career, is entirely unacceptable. I’m proud to support this legislation that will restore the benefits that thousands of Michiganders were promised.” “I am pleased to introduce bipartisan, bicameral legislation with Senator Brown to reinstate the Delphi Salaried Pension Plan so that these retirees can finally receive the benefits they worked so hard to earn,” said Senator Portman. “In 2009, the Delphi Salaried Pension Plan was terminated, leaving the long-term financial security of the nearly 20,000 salaried employees at Delphi in jeopardy. It is time to correct this unfair action.” “I’ve been working tirelessly for over a decade to restore the pensions of the Delphi retirees, and now with this bipartisan legislation we will finally provide them with the retirement benefits that they have always deserved,” said Congressman Ryan. “The favorable resolution that this legislation provides has been too long in the making, and I encourage my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to join us in support. It is the right thing to do.” “We are grateful to Representatives Dan Kildee, Tim Ryan, Mike Turner, Marcy Kaptur and Bill Johnson, Debbie Dingell and Warren Davidson and also to Senators Sherrod Brown, Debbie Stabenow, Gary Peters and Rob Portman and all those elected officials who stand up for fair and equitable treatment for all American workers. If it passes, this bill will restore fairness and dignity in retirement. It will relieve the suffering of thousands of salaried and hourly workers who were left behind after GM filed for bankruptcy. It will greatly help their families and their communities also. This is very important and necessary legislation. Thank you to all those who are working to help pass this bill,” said Bruce Gump, Chair of the Delphi Salaried Retiree Association. There are over 20,000 affected Delphi retirees across the country, including: Ohio: 5,181 Michigan: 5,859 Indiana: 4,044 New York: 2,337 Florida: 801 Texas: 564 Alabama: 564 Wisconsin: 405 Mississippi: 387 Arizona: 198 North Carolina: 156 Tennessee: 156 California: 153 South Carolina: 147 Georgia: 141 Pennsylvania: 117 Other States: 672 Congressmen Turner, Kildee and Ryan formed the Congressional Task Force on Delphi Pensions in 2013 to help these hardworking retirees get the earned benefits they deserve.

The fact that we continue to import Russian oil, helping fund the atrocities in Ukraine, is disgraceful. America should be energy independent and supplying our European allies, but this President is more enamored with the Green New Deal than solving this critical problem. At home, hard-working men and women are being taxed by 40-year high inflation, but Biden had the audacity to claim economic success while taking no responsibility for the pain his out-of-control spending has caused. As families struggle to make ends meet, Biden’s soft on crime stance has made their communities less safe. A massive rise in violent crime has swept the nation and record amounts of deadly fentanyl is flowing through our porous border.

The American people, through their representatives in Congress, deserve to have a say before U.S. troops are placed in harm’s way or the U.S. becomes involved in yet another foreign conflict.” Erik Sperling, executive director of the advocacy organization Just Foreign Policy commented on the letter, “With the risk of war over Ukraine escalating rapidly, this level-headed bipartisan letter reaffirming that only Congress can authorize military action is very timely. While the Biden administration has ruled out sending additional troops, even allowing U.S. advisers and special forces to remain in harm's way in Ukraine without authorization creates the potential for direct conflict between the world’s leading nuclear powers. Regardless of one’s view on how the U.S. should respond to tensions over Ukraine, these are precisely the critical questions that the framers of our Constitution sought to entrust to the American people through their representatives in Congress.” Marcus Stanley, Advocacy Director for the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft stated, ""A direct military conflict between the two largest nuclear powers on Russia's border would be incredibly risky and dangerous. The Biden Administration has wisely stated its intent to avoid U.S. military involvement in the Ukraine conflict, but the situation on the ground is chaotic. It is critical that the President get explicit and official Congressional authorization before taking any steps involving U.S. military personnel in Ukraine, as required by the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution."" Cavan Kharrazian, Foreign Policy Campaigner for Demand Progress said, ""We applaud the signatories of this letter for rightfully asserting Congress's jurisdiction over the involvement of US armed forces in hostilities. By no means should the President put American troops — including embedded military advisors and special forces — into harm's way in Ukraine without a debate and vote in Congress. While Congress remains divided on many issues, we are glad to see such a diverse range of representatives defending our Constitutional system of checks and balances when it comes to war."" The letter to President Biden reasserts the war powers authority vested in Congress under the Constitution and U.S. law, including the War Powers Resolution of 1973. Article I of the U.S. Constitution grants Congress the power to finance and declare war, and the War Powers Resolution states that Congressional authorization is required before the “introduction of United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances.” The lawmakers urge President Biden to make the case to Congress before involving the U.S. military in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

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

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

Turner,T000463,turner.house.gov,turner,https://turner.house.gov/press-releases,scraper,"WASHINGTON, DC – Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) recently joined Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN), Rep. David Trone (D-MD) and Rep. Paul Tonko (D-NY) to introduce The Due Process Continuity of Care Act. This bipartisan legislation would amend the current Medicaid Inmate Exclusion Policy (MIEP) to make certain that pretrial detainees are not kicked off Medicaid prior to ever being found guilty of a crime. Following introduction, the members released the following statements: “The Due Process Continuity of Care Act helps address the opioid misuse crisis by fixing an unconstitutional flaw in our Medicaid system. The current Medicaid Inmate Exclusion Policy perpetuates a dangerous cycle of treatment interruption and recidivism. I am proud to support this reform that provides pretrial inmates the medical treatment they need to recover from opioid abuse disorders,” said Congressman Turner. “Seizing Medicaid coverage from pre-trial detainees, who experience higher rates of mental health and substance use disorders, is destabilizing and counterproductive,” said Congressman David Trone (D-MD-06). “Not only does this policy hurt these vulnerable populations, but it also disproportionately affects low-income folks who are unable to pay bonds. This bill would bridge those inequities and allow for a more humane, more just pre-trial health care system.” “For the more than approximately 20% of inmates in our nation’s jails with mental illness and substance use disorder (SUD), treatment isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. However, current law prohibits incarcerated individuals from accessing federal health benefits when they are behind bars—even if they haven’t been convicted of a crime and are awaiting trial,” said Congressman Emmer (R-MN-06) . “This means that patients are forced to abandon existing routines of care, often having to begin new treatment regimens with new and frequently overburdened heath providers associated with the jails where they’re being held. Consistent and proper care for mental health and SUD is not only in line with the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment, it will also make our communities safer. It’s time we fixed this oversight and ensure these individuals have a chance to heal.” “For years, I’ve worked to advance bipartisan legislation that expands access to addiction treatment and delivers needed support to our most vulnerable communities,” said Congressman Tonko (D-NY-20). “The Due Process Continuity of Care Act builds powerfully on this effort by ensuring that people not convicted of a crime retain lifesaving Medicaid coverage. I am proud to introduce this legislation that will reduce recidivism, protect due process, and save lives.” Background: This bill amends the Medicaid Inmate Exclusion Policy to ensure that states have the option to provide Medicaid coverage for pre-trial detainees. Additionally, the bill provides $50 million in planning grant dollars for the HHS Secretary to award to states with the goal of providing additional support to state, county and local jails for implementing this policy, improving the quality of care provided in jails and enhancing the network of available providers to treat this population. U.S. Senators Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), and Ed Markey (D-MA) introduced mirror legislation in the Senate last year. Full text of the bill can be found here. If passed, The Due Process Continuity of Care Act will: • Amend the MIEP to allow for Medicaid coverage of health care services for pre- trial detainees; • Provide planning grant dollars to states for implementation of the MIEP repeal; • Bring financial relief to state and local taxpayers for the cost of providing services to this population. ###",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T01:57:46Z https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2241,Balderson: House Democrats' All-or-Nothing Approach Makes This Another Missed Opportunity,2022-02-02,2022,2022-02,Republican,House,OH,Troy Balderson,B001306,balderson.house.gov,balderson,https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27&Page=10,scraper,"WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Troy Balderson (OH-12) admonished House Democrats from the Floor of the U.S. House of Representatives Wednesday for advancing yet another partisan ""messaging bill"" rather than addressing American economic competitiveness. Rep. Balderson's remarks as delivered on the House Floor: Mister Speaker, I rise today to express my concerns with H.R. 4521. I want to talk for a moment not about China, but about Licking County, Ohio — in the district I represent. Licking County - located on the outskirts of Columbus - was cast into the national spotlight last month when a major U.S. tech company announced an initial $20 billion investment to build the first phase of what they plan to grow into the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturing facility. This investment will put Licking County at the epicenter of a new Silicon Heartland and at the forefront of addressing the nation’s semiconductor shortage. This investment will have an economic ripple effect throughout the region. Indeed, it will benefit our entire country. Semiconductor chips are crucial components to products Americans use and rely on every day, including cars, computers, cell phones, and virtually every electronic device in our homes. Since the early 1990s, the United States' share of semiconductor manufacturing has fallen from 37 percent to just 12 percent today. Asian countries now account for more than 70 percent of semiconductor chip manufacturing globally. The COVID-19 pandemic and its following supply chain disruptions have brought this issue to the forefront for every American. One concern for Americans in the market for a new car is the empty lots at dealerships as automobile production lines wait for chips from Asia. Failing to address the shortage of semiconductor chips could have dire consequences for our national security. With production of U.S. military defense systems dependent upon access to these chips, over-reliance on foreign countries leaves U.S. national security interests vulnerable too. We cannot allow ourselves to be held hostage by the imbalance of foreign chip production. The United States is not alone. Other countries are waking up to this reality too. As I speak, the European Union is developing CHIPS legislation in an effort to quadruple their production of semiconductor CHIPS by 2030. Falling further behind in chip manufacturing is a national security issue that we just can’t afford. I am honored to represent a community that will soon play a leading role in addressing the global chip shortage and producing these vital components to our modern economy. I am excited that we have an opportunity to help grow U.S. manufacturing of chips to epic proportions with a much-needed investment. The CHIPS act investment will level the playing field and let U.S. manufacturers compete in this market. But once again, Democrat leadership is doing it the wrong way. My constituents - and all Americans - were hopeful that the Majority here in Congress had learned from their recent failures about what happens when these packages become too big, too costly, and too partisan. The CHIPS Act presents Congress with a golden opportunity to FINALLY pass a bipartisan, common-sense investment that would bolster American competitiveness on the world stage. Unfortunately, the CHIPS Act constitutes a small fraction of the bill’s overall price tag, which is over $300 billion. Instead, House Democrats worked behind closed doors - with no Republican input - and managed to bury good provisions under a mountain of unrelated policies that have nothing to do with American competitiveness. In their hasty attempt at a partisan victory, the Democrats’ bill: Funnels $8 billion to the unaccountable U.N. Green Climate Fund, which has already given $100 million to the Chinese Communist Party Pours billions of dollars into offshore Climate Change Resiliency programs instead of holding China - the world’s worst polluter - accountable for its own destructive emission standards Creates unlimited visas and immigration pathways for Chinese nationals with STEM degrees This allows the CCP to handpick which Chinese nationals apply for visas and opens the door for the CCP to use unlimited visas to engage in espionage and theft of sensitive technologies. Creates “Climate Change Officers” within the Foreign Service, weakening our diplomats’ focus on our core national interests. In an effort to improve this bill, I offered common-sense amendments to encourage domestic manufacturing of critical products. I also offered amendments to remove the billions of dollars in partisan spending for global green new deal programs and shift focus on what this bill should be about. Mister Speaker, the bill before us today is proof House Democrats learned nothing from their disastrous Build Back Better blunder. Rather than allowing American economic competitiveness to be a rallying point for bipartisanship, the Majority’s all-or-nothing approach makes this yet another missed opportunity. If this bill advances to the conference committee, I am hopeful that conferees will focus on areas of bipartisan, bicameral agreement, like the CHIPS Act. It’s past time to bolster this production here at home. I urge my colleagues to stop with the messaging bills and bring a piece of legislation to the Floor that can win strong, bi-partisan support. Together, we can ensure that the serious business of American competitiveness gets the careful consideration and support that it deserves. Mister Speaker, I yield back. ### Related News Balderson Statement on the End of the Democrat Shutdown November 12, 2025 | Posted in Press Releases Balderson Sees Opportunity in Grant Announcement for Intel Ohio March 20, 2024 | Posted in Press Releases Balderson Recap: Looking Back at 2023 December 30, 2023 | Posted in Press Releases Protecting consumer choice and standing up to Biden’s EV mandate December 15, 2023 | Posted in Articles Balderson Applauds Passage of Bill Blocking the Ban of Gas-Powered Vehicles September 15, 2023 | Posted in Press Releases",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T01:57:46Z https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2243,Balderson Joins Bipartisan Group of Lawmakers to Introduce Commercial Driver's License Reforms,2022-02-02,2022,2022-02,Republican,House,OH,Troy Balderson,B001306,balderson.house.gov,balderson,https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27&Page=10,scraper,"WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Troy Balderson (OH-12) introduced a bipartisan, bicameral bill today to address the nation’s ongoing supply chain shortages by eliminating regulatory barriers preventing eligible drivers from entry into the trucking workforce. “This legislation eliminates regulatory barriers to filling in-demand truck driver jobs,” said Congressman Balderson. “I’m proud to support making these common sense waivers permanent. Doing so provides much-needed relief for our truckers and will help to ensure products arrive on-time to doorsteps and store shelves across the country.” The Licensing Individual Commercial Exam-takers Now Safely and Efficiently (LICENSE) Act, streamlines burdensome licensing regulations by making permanent several waivers that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) implemented in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic last November. Rep. Balderson is joined by Reps. Darin LaHood (R-IL), Henry Cuellar (D-TX), and Josh Harder (D-CA) as the legislation’s lead sponsors in the U.S. House of Representatives. The Senate companion bill was introduced by Senators Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) and Mark Kelly (D-Arizona). The bill would allow state and third-party examiners previously authorized to administer the commercial driver’s license (CDL) skills test to also administer the CDL knowledge test without having to complete the training course. This will help get additional drivers on the road faster without compromising safety. The bill would allow states to administer driving skills tests to applicants from other states. This will streamline the credentialing process and allow future truckers to get tested where they live rather than only where they received their training. “One of the first steps towards fixing our current supply chain crises is to increase the number of truck drivers delivering goods to stores around the country,” said Senator Lummis. “As a rural state, Wyoming is particularly reliant on trucking, but streamlining commercial driver’s licensing and getting rid of overly burdensome regulations will benefit everyone, whether you live in Manhattan or Cheyenne. I’m proud to work with my fellow western senator, Mark Kelly, to reform the licensing process for America’s truckers.” “The pandemic continues to impact our supply chains and Arizonans are feeling the strain of higher prices at the supermarket and the gas pump. Our bipartisan bill cuts red tape and boosts our trucking workforce so we can safely and quickly deliver essential supplies and goods across the country. I will continue to ensure the federal government uses every available tool to strengthen our economy and bring down costs for Arizonans,” said Senator Kelly. “Some of the biggest issues I hear about in central and west-central Illinois are worker and trucking shortages,” said Congressman LaHood. “As we face unprecedented supply chain challenges, this legislation will help streamline the process to obtain a commercial driver’s license and reduce unnecessary red tape. The downstream economic effects of the driver shortage are immeasurable and American families continue to face further disruption in the delivery of groceries, medical supplies, and business inventories across the nation. I am proud to join this bipartisan and bicameral group to introduce this commonsense legislation that will give companies the ability to hire qualified, safe drivers and strengthen the economy in Illinois.” “The LICENSE Act is a critical piece of legislation that will help alleviate stressors on the supply chain and remove burdensome regulatory barriers to obtaining commercial driver’s licenses,” said Congressman Cuellar. “As we look to recover from the pandemic, we must adapt and innovate to the needs of our growing economy. These waivers make our roads safer while removing unnecessary red tape. As the representative for the largest land port of entry, I will continue to prioritize the needs of our truckers who are essential to the success of our national economy.” “I’m laser focused on making it affordable to raise a family in the Valley. Right now the cost of everything from groceries to gas is just plain out of control and we have to fix it,” said Congressman Harder. “This bill cuts through the red tape and gets more truck drivers on the road. More drivers means lower shipping costs, and lower shipping costs means families can actually afford what they need at the grocery store. I’m proud to join my Republican and Democratic friends in introducing this bill.” The American Trucking Associations endorsed the bill, noting, “In the context of the current supply chain disruptions, the LICENSE Act is a sensible remedy to the unnecessary regulatory barriers that make the CDL training and testing process so arduous.” To read the American Trucking Associations’ letter of support for the bill, click here. ###",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T01:57:46Z https://turner.house.gov/2022/1/turner-statement-on-dayton-being-selected-as-home-of-snc-aircraft-facilities,Turner Statement on Dayton being selected as Home of SNC Aircraft Facilities,2022-01-31,2022,2022-01,Republican,House,OH,Michael R.
