From the Hill to the Mountains

MANCHIN APPLAUDS PASSAGE OF BLUE WATER NAVY VIETNAM VETERANS ACT

Our nation’s Veterans have fought bravely overseas for our country and deserve these benefits owed to them here at home. These toxins have detrimentally affected the lives of thousands of Blue Water Navy Veterans who, because of this bill, will be able to gain the benefits they deserve. I sincerely thank all of the Veterans who served in Vietnam for their service and dedication to our nation.

MANCHIN CONTINUES FIGHT FOR PFAS PROTECTIONS IN MUST PASS NDAA

West Virginia has seen firsthand what PFAS contamination can do. That’s why I’ve been working to help Martinsburg get reimbursed for clean-up efforts that cost the city millions of dollars. I will fight to ensure every West Virginian and American has access to clean drinking water.

MANCHIN VOTES FOR $4.6 BILLION TO DEAL WITH CRISIS AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER

I am glad this Committee was able to come to a bipartisan agreement to address the humanitarian crisis at our Southern Border. We only hurt ourselves when we withhold resources from our hardworking frontline agents. And I think we can all agree it is wrong to put children in inhumane circumstances. I know as a Christian and a father I feel for these children. That’s why I was glad to vote for this critical funding package out of the Appropriations Committee.

Key Federal Resources

MANCHIN, CAPITO ANNOUNCE MORE THAN $7.4 MILLION FOR HEAD START

This funding will provide support for education and career advancement in Braxton County and North Central West Virginia.

MANCHIN, CAPITO ANNOUNCE $250K FOR BLUEFIELD WATER AND WASTE DISPOSAL

This funding will provide and improve infrastructure used to store and transport water to West Virginians throughout the Bluefield area. There will be an increase in water storage, fire hydrants, waterlines and other projects that support local businesses and residents of the Bluefield area.

MANCHIN, CAPITO ANNOUNCE FUNDING TO SUPPORT WEST VIRGINIA PUBLIC BROADCASTING

West Virginia is pivotal to the history of country music. It’s fitting then, that West Virginia Public Broadcasting has received funds to bring Ken Burns’ documentary Country Music to West Virginia. Public Broadcasting is also essential to educating and informing our citizens and as a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I will continue to fight for more funding to allow us to grow more connected.

MANCHIN, CAPITO ANNOUNCE MORE THAN $740K FOR SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE

Improving agriculture sustainability through research is essential to enhancing the sustainability of our agricultural sector as well as the quality of the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. Rural West Virginia is home to many farmers and I look forward to seeing the benefits of this research for those famers.

MANCHIN, CAPITO ANNOUNCE MORE THAN $4.5 MILLION FOR WEST VIRGINIA AIRPORTS

Our airports help drive our economy and boost our tourism industry and making sure they receive the resources they need is crucial.

MANCHIN, CAPITO ANNOUNCE $70K FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN NICHOLAS COUNTY

This investment will strengthen the regional economy by increasing the number of jobs and support of capital investments.

The 3rd Anniversary Of The 2016 West Virginia Flood

Three years ago, we lost 23 West Virginians because of terrible flooding across our state. The flooding was a tragedy for the families who lost loved ones and for the entire state. Our statewide community came together to support and care for one another during their time of need. We proved that as a state we are resilient and when we support each other, we can overcome anything. I am proud to represent such a strong state with amazing people who care for their communities and fellow West Virginians.

Over the past three years, I have worked with multiple agencies to secure funding for West Virginia, including more than $184 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and more than $256 million from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As a member of the Appropriations Committee, I will continue to fight for West Virginia and its residents so that we can rebuild our state together.

While I have no direct jurisdiction in legal or administrative matters of any federal, state, or local agency, I welcome the opportunity to assist you in any way possible and to assure that full consideration is given to your case. See one of our recent success stories below:

Ms. Barbara Rawls from Gilbert is in need of liver transplant surgery. Her physician declined to perform the surgery due to some additional complicating medical conditions and Medicaid would not cover treatment at the referred surgeons office because it was out of state. Senior Caseworker Cris Hewett made an inquiry to WVDHHR and within a week Ms. Rawls was contacted by a case manager. They are currently working with a hospital in Pittsburgh that has agreed to perform the surgery and accept her Medicaid coverage.
