READ THE PRESS RELEASE

Department of the Interior FY 2023 Budget Hearing
The Administration's recent actions are alarmingly chilling investment in the oil & gas sector. Its short-sighted approach to production puts America’s energy security at risk. But the Administration can fix this — and it doesn't need legislation or new authority to do so.

WATCH THE HEARING

Mr. Walker of Bridgeport was forced to retire early due to a terminal illness. He contacted my office for assistance after 3 months had passed and he still had not received a payment. With the help of my office, Mr. Walker's case was expedited and his monthly benefit and backpay have been approved.

If you or someone you know is in need of assistance with a state or federal agency, please contact my office at 304-342-5855.

With the help of my staff, I was honored to lend my voice of support for several events in the state: open house for the new Bethlehem Volunteer Fire Department building in Wheeling; Charleston Area Medical Center and West Virginia Junior College announcement of the West Virginia Nursing Workforce Expansion Program in Charleston; ceremony held by the American Legion Post 1 for the new building purchased in Wheeling; Helping Heroes fundraiser “A Night to Remember” in Wheeling; EPA and local officials announce grant award for the Lewis County Commission; grand opening of West Virginia Women's Business Center at Slack Plaza in Charleston; event to raise awareness for and promote lead testing in children “Get Tested” in Clarksburg; Sherrard Middle School award ceremony for Coach Dan Gatts; BPM Group Ribbon Cutting in Beckley.
