This effort has been about ensuring that the federal government keeps the promises it made to the coal miners who descended in to the depth and darkness of our nation’s mines in order to power our country. I was proud to vote to pass this bill out of Committee, but I won’t be satisfied until this legislation becomes law and we provide these coal miners and their families with a full measure of security.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
