Yesterday, Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02) and I, the co-chairs of the bipartisan Congressional Job Corps Caucus, led a letter signed by 199 members of Congress to U.S. Department of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer urging her to continue the Job Corps program. bishop.house.gov/media-center...
Community Development Financial Institutions leverage federal support to generate private investment in small businesses that may be deemed too small and overlooked by commercial lenders. CDFIs are part of the pulse of the communities they support & Congress should continue to support them.
(3/3) For over 60 years, there has been strong bipartisan support for JC. It has paid tremendous dividends in terms of ensuring that young people become valuable members of the labor force. I will work with my Republican colleagues to protect and improve Job Corps to ensure its continued success.
This Memorial Day, we honor the men and women of our Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country. We will forever remember their bravery and service to the United States as we recommit ourselves to the values and freedoms for which they fought and died.
(2/3) While the Admin has started to address some of the concerns raised, I will continue to work with my colleagues in Congress to make sure Thomas County residents have access to clean, safe, affordable water as well as support institutions that are part of the fabric and history of our community.
(1/3) This month, I reached out to the White House, Institute of Museum and Library Services, and the Environmental Protection Agency to urge them to release funds that were already lawfully obligated to the City of Thomasville and the Jack Hadley Black History Museum.
Today, Virginia and our country lost a passionate public servant. Congressman Gerry Connolly’s distinctive voice loudly resonated on Capitol Hill in defense of our democracy and in support of America’s families. My colleagues and I will miss him and our prayers go to his family and loved ones.
The charges against Congresswoman McIver are unwarranted and amount to a blatant attempt by the Executive Branch to discourage members of Congress from demanding transparency and accountability from the Trump Administration. Members of Congress will not be intimidated. (2/2)
