MANCHIN FIGHTS TO DEFEND 800,000 WEST VIRGINIANS WITH PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS IN ACA LAWSUIT APPEAL

Twenty Republican Attorneys General, including West Virginia’s Attorney General, want to give insurance companies the power to once again deny health insurance to nearly 800,000 West Virginians with pre-existing conditions. The Department of Justice has refused to defend the existing law, people with cancer, heart disease, asthma, diabetes, substance use disorder, or pregnant women, but I have a resolution that will defend West Virginians and Americans with pre-existing conditions from this inhumane lawsuit.

MANCHIN RECEIVES LETTER FROM WVU WOMEN’S SOCCER COACH, INTRODUCES BILL TO GUARANTEE EQUAL PAY FOR U.S. SOCCER TEAMS

I received a letter from Coach Izzo-Brown highlighting her worries that women on the WVU Women’s Soccer Team could one day make the U.S. women’s team and not get paid the same as the men’s team. That’s just plain wrong. That’s why I’m introducing legislation that will require the U.S. Soccer Federation to pay the men’s and women’s national soccer teams equitably before any federal funds may be used for the 2026 World Cup. The clear unequitable pay between the U.S. men’s and women’s soccer teams is unacceptable and I’m glad the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team latest victory is causing public outcry. They are the best in the world and deserve to be paid accordingly. I’m encouraging everyone to call their Senator and Representatives to help us get this bill passed and finally create a level playing field for all.

MANCHIN APPLAUDS MITSUBISHI’S ACQUISITION OF BOMBARDIER REGIONAL JET PROGRAM AND SERVICE CENTER IN BRIDGEPORT

During my visit to the facility in August last year, I was impressed by the incredible work being done at the plant, and I am convinced that no one does this work as well as we do it in West Virginia. Aerospace is one of the fastest growing sectors of our state’s economy, and as a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I am committed to ensuring that this industry continues to grow.

MANCHIN INVITES SURGEON GENERAL TO WEST VIRGINIA

I sent a letter to U.S. Surgeon General,  Dr. Jerome E. Adams, to visit West Virginia and observe the work that “Wild, Wonderful, Healthy West Virginia” (WWHWV) is doing to support sustainable communities across West Virginia.

WWHWV is working innovatively to combat the opioid epidemic, promote education, and support economic growth in our state. Unfortunately, their efforts are severely needed in West Virginia, where we have consistently ranked in the bottom ten when it comes to health. In fact, West Virginia has higher diabetes, COPD, heart disease, stroke, and cancer mortality rates than the national average.

Key Federal Resources

MANCHIN, CAPITO ANNOUNCE MORE THAN $16.4 MILLION FOR HEAD START AND FATHERHOOD REENTRY PROGRAMS ACROSS WEST VIRGINIA

Children deserve an education that prepares them for a bright future. Head Start programs provide our students with a strong foundation to guide and support them throughout their educational careers and beyond. Not only is an early education important to children, but a well-rounded and structured home life is crucial for their future success. Fatherhood reentry programs help fathers be present in their child’s life, build relationships and support their children. As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I will continue to fight for the future generations of West Virginia and ensure these programs continue to receive funding.

MANCHIN, CAPITO ANNOUNCE MORE THAN $2.6 MILLION FOR CLEAN WATER ACROSS WEST VIRGINIA

I am glad that the EPA is investing in West Virginia to ensure that we have the best technology to preserve and maintain our beautiful waters. This EPA funding will also help us address parts of our aging water infrastructure so we can continue to provide clean water to West Virginians. As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I will continue to fight for funding that supports West Virginia and our water resources.
