Since the Hamas-led massacre against Israel on 10/7, there has been a disturbing rise in anti-Semitic incidents, including targeted harassment, directed at Jewish students. I joined my Senate Republicans colleagues in demanding the Biden admin take swift action.

Happy #NationalParkWeek , West Virginia!
This is such a great time to celebrate and invite folks to come experience our state’s natural resources at places like the New River Gorge NP&P and Harpers Ferry NHP.
We’ve been blessed to live in a state that’s rich in beauty and important natural resources, and we have a responsibility to preserve it.
Through my leadership on the EPW Republicans Committee, I’m proud to help lead the way on some of the solutions helping preserve our environment.

Just voted in favor of Senator Senator Mike Crapo’s bill to prevent President Biden from deciding for Americans what kinds of cars they can buy, rent, and drive.
It’s an unrealistic transition to electric vehicles that Americans do not want and cannot afford.
With deadly fentanyl crossing the southern border, you’d think the head of Homeland Security would be aware of how many cars are actually being screened for drugs coming through ports of entry….
#ICYMI : I questioned HHS.gov Secretary Xavier Becerra on the agency’s budget requests for FY 2025. We discussed the importance of rural healthcare, efforts to combat the addiction crisis, the suicide prevention hotline, and in-person office policies at @HHSgov.
