I think it’s only appropriate that we kick this convention off properly with a land acknowledgement. I’d like to acknowledge that we stand here today in the great state of Texas in the United States of America, the ancestral homeland of…

“WRDA 2026 delivers for Georgia and the entire nation.”

“I am proud that we brought 60 vendors together to meet our residents where they are and help open doors that can change lives for generations. This is what progress looks like, and we will continue working until every South Floridian has…

Instead of tackling rising energy prices or ending his war in Iran, President Trump is irresponsibly draining our fuel reserves.

The first Good Samaritan permit has now been issued, and this is just the beginning. We can now use this new tool to clean up more abandoned mines, improve water quality, and make communities across New Mexico and the West safer and…

This is a landmark moment — and proof that our Good Samaritan law is working. After more than 25 years of hard work to break down the legal barriers standing in the way of abandoned mine cleanup, we are finally seeing volunteers get to…

‘I don't think you can be a great country unless you actually make things,’ Peters said. ‘That's what we do in Michigan. We have a very proud tradition of making things. But the factory floor and manufacturing looks a whole lot different…

‘That we're seeing here in Traverse City with this FishPass and the ability to allow really native species of Great Lakes fish to get up into the tributaries while keeping out invasive species that are playing havoc with our ecosystem,’…

‘It’s absolutely essential that we take care of our veterans. To me, I think that’s a sacred obligation that every American has. The men and women who are willing to go into harm’s way to protect our freedoms and liberties really deserve…

‘Folks now understand that the Great Lakes is a national resource,’ he added. ‘In a very thirsty world, having a body of freshwater here is incredibly important. I'm cautiously optimistic we're going to get that done.’

‘I’m the primary sponsor of the bill to extend it for five more years. I'll be leaving in a few months. I've said this is my number one priority. We got to get this done before I leave.’
