I’m truly grateful to be only the third Member of Congress to receive the Air Traffic Control Association’s Glen A. Gilbert Memorial Award. Aviation is a passion of mine and something I’ve worked tirelessly to strengthen, so this award is incredibly humbling. Named after one of the fathers of the U.S. air traffic control system, the award is on permanent display in the Smithsonian’s National Air & Space Museum, and I’m thrilled to have my name added to it. Thank you to @ATCA_now for this incredible honor!

Southeast Texas is an economic powerhouse—our ports and waterways help keep America moving.
That’s why I proudly voted YES on #WRDA2026 to strengthen the critical infrastructure our communities, industries, and families rely on every day.

Today, @HouseGOP passed @TransportGOP’s Water Resources Development Act of 2026, making a critical investment in the infrastructure that enables our communities and businesses to thrive.
I was proud to vote in support of it to secure authorizations of $32 million for critical projects improving transportation systems and water infrastructure in Ohio’s Second Congressional District.
America’s economy relies on functioning ports, harbors, and inland waterways, and this bill will strengthen supply chains while providing essential flood and storm protection for the businesses that need it.
I was proud to see it pass and will continue working to bolster our nation’s critical infrastructure in Congress.

Proud to have led to the Water Resources Development Act, which passed the House of Representatives this evening.
From the Ports of Savannah and Brunswick to locks, dams, and waterways across the nation, the state of Georgia and all America depend on reliable water infrastructure.
WRDA 2026 cuts red tape, speeds up project delivery, and empowers the Army Corps of Engineers to execute its mission while holding it accountable to keep projects on schedule and on budget.

I appreciated the opportunity to sit down with enlisted members of the Coast Guard for a firsthand look at what a day in their service looks like and the missions they carry out every day.
As Chairman of the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Subcommittee, hearing directly from the men and women on the front lines is critical to understanding the challenges they face and ensuring they have the resources and support they need.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and shared their experiences. I’ll continue working in Congress to support the men and women of the Coast Guard and the important work they do for our nation.

This evening, with strong bipartisan support, the House passed the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2026.
This legislation delivers critical investments in our nation's ports, waterways, flood protection, and water infrastructure — including multiple projects vital to flood and disaster resilience in communities across NC-07.

Over 65,000 truck drivers call North Carolina home, keeping our shelves stocked, businesses running, and goods moving across our state and country. Trucking supports 1 in 15 jobs in North Carolina, and 85% of communities rely exclusively on trucks to move their goods.
This National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, I’m especially grateful to the hardworking men and women behind the wheel who keep North Carolina moving. Thank you for all you do!
Today, the House overwhelmingly passed the bipartisan Water Resources Development Act of 2026, legislation that advances critical improvements to ports, harbors, inland waterways, flood protection, and water resources infrastructure nationwide. transportation.house.gov/new…
"As a nation, we owe our Coasties adequate living conditions, world-class training, proper working conditions, and, if they’re injured on the job, the confidence that they will be taken care of."

This National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, we’re recognizing the 3.5 million truck drivers who keep America moving.
More than 70% of the nation’s freight by weight travels by truck, making drivers essential to our supply chains, communities, and economy.
Thank you to America’s truck drivers! 🚛
Today marks 25 years since the September 11 attacks.
We remember the 2,977 innocent lives lost, honor the courage of our first responders and fellow Americans, and keep their families in our prayers.

Yesterday, the Problem Solvers Caucus welcomed @TransportGOP Chairman @RepSamGraves (R-MO) and @TransportDEMS Ranking Member @RepRickLarsen (D-WA) for a discussion on the overwhelmingly bipartisan Surface Transportation Reauthorization, known as the Build America 250 Act.
We appreciate the Chairman and Ranking Member for their thoughtful and informative briefing and commend their commitment to finding bipartisan agreement.

If you can’t speak English, you shouldn’t be driving a semi on American roads. These fraudulent trucking schools have got to go. @TransportGOP took action with Dalilah’s Law earlier this year to strengthen CDL requirements and it’s great to see @SecDuffy getting rid of the fraudsters.
🚨IT’S HAPPENING.
✅ 110 trucking schools shut down (5,000+ truckers “trained” who could not speak English)
✅ 160+ more removed for failing @FMCSA standards
✅ Nationwide audit of skill testers launched
NO ENGLISH, NO TRUCKING, NO FRAUD.
We’re not done yet. Let’s make sure our roads are safe because AMERICA deserves that 🇺🇸 @SecMullinDHS @USDOT @DHSgov @TheJusticeDept @WHFraudTF
