Former governors
I am proud to appoint this talented group of individuals to serve on our higher education boards.
The State of Missouri is proud to work with the Trump administration to cut red tape and speed up the permitting process for critical infrastructure development projects.
Last year's results speak for themselves, and we are proud to build on that momentum with another year of funding for even more communities.
The growth of the Missouri Blue Shield Program is proof that communities across our state are committed to working alongside law enforcement to improve public safety.
We thank President Trump for approving Missouri’s major disaster declaration and greatly appreciate the critical work handled by our local response agencies and the recovery efforts that are already underway.
“Safeguarding federal programs like Medicaid from bad actors requires accountability at every point in the process, from member eligibility verification to provider enrollment and billing,” said Governor Kim Reynolds.
By ensuring every eligible foster child has a funded investment account, we are giving these young people a stronger foundation as they enter adulthood.
Our responsibility is to give every child the opportunity to succeed, especially those who depend on the state for care.
This bill builds on House Bill 50’s progress to support law enforcement officers returning to work from retirement. Vacancies in law enforcement agencies have a real impact on public safety, and this benefit incentivizes experienced law…
This is one of many important steps we’re taking to reduce costs to Maryland households.
As the cost of living rises nationally, we refuse to allow big corporations to pad their profits on the backs of hardworking families.
That's why Maryland is cutting through red tape and putting more money back in the pockets of hardworking Marylanders when they need it most.
In our region and across the country, the rising cost of energy has gotten out of control — But no family should have to choose between paying their utility bill and putting food on the table.
It is an honor to serve as Vice Chair of the Western Governors' Association and continue working alongside my fellow governors to advance practical, bipartisan solutions for the people of the Western United States.
New York continues to set the bar high as we mark another milestone for solar within our communities across the state.
We’ve heard from residents on the west side of the Hudson River about their limited public transit options and in 2026 we are changing that.
While fireworks are a beautiful part of celebrating Independence Day and our nation's 250th, safety must come first.
New York is investing in vital infrastructure projects that strengthen our transportation system, support local communities and drive economic growth.
This smart investment will strengthen a vital corridor for everyone — from businesses and SUNY Sullivan students to the many families who travel here each year for summer camp, community and time together in the Catskills.
State Route 17 is the front door to the Catskills for residents and visitors seeking the region’s natural beauty and attractions.
We are excited to welcome the tens of thousands of people who will be visiting our state to celebrate this momentous occasion with us, and we look forward to writing the next chapter of our history together.
America’s fight for independence was shaped by the critical role that New York played in our nation's founding.
We again insist that you follow the law, refuse to implement President Trump’s Executive Order, and withdraw this presidentially-directed proposed rule.
