When local, state, and federal entities come together in partnership we can achieve great things. I joined ODNR, EPA GLNPO, the City of Toledo, and other partners to break ground on a project to renew the restore and protect Clark Island and the Delaware Horseshoe Islands.

It’s deeply troubling that Speaker Johnson is giving up on bipartisan efforts to address Border security. The American people need us to get this right — not kick the can down the road to score political points. Democrats and Republicans must keep working and find real solutions.
