Communities across North Dakota and the nation will benefit from more abundant, affordable and accessible housing.

We appreciate our Senate colleagues for joining us in passing this bill, and we look forward to moving it through the House.

I look forward to moving this legislation forward and passing a strong Farm Bill that maintains our nation’s network of family farms and ranches.

This legislation builds on our long-term priorities of strengthening the farm safety net, advancing ag research and securing market access for our producers.

We appreciate Chairman Boozman for working with us to write a Farm Bill that is all about supporting the farmers and ranchers who ensure Americans continue to have access to the highest-quality, lowest-cost food supply in the world.

The reforms included in the bill will help expand available housing, cut red tape, and support home construction, repair and rehabilitation.

This bipartisan, bicameral legislation is all about making housing more affordable and helping more Americans achieve the dream of homeownership.

The importance of ensuring multiple use on USFS lands, including for grazing, energy development and recreation.

Our legislation helps advance this effort, providing funding for the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library and supporting the display of materials and artifacts to outline his life and legacy for current and future generations.

Teddy Roosevelt is an iconic individual in the history of the United States. He embodies the frontier spirit, and his life’s work is pivotal to our state and nation’s heritage of outdoorsmanship.

I think some of our allies need to step up and join us because that enforcement mechanism is going be key, I believe, to getting the kind of outcome that we want.

Between the redevelopment of Minot’s former landfill and the proposed expansion of the Maysa Arena, we are working to make a major, multi-purpose upgrade to the recreational facilities available in the Minot region – from outdoor…

The real issue is that we have something that we can enforce and that’s hard with Iran because they don’t honor any agreement.

I think anytime you have Congress ratify something, it gives it longevity.

We need to ensure the base has the services required to make this a smooth transition for all of the families who will come as these missions are established.

In particular, the new Space Operations Center is going to mean big growth for the base, bringing hundreds of Guardians to the region.

We’ve worked to ensure this region leads the way in our nation’s future defense missions.

This $69 million project, which is supported by $55 million in federal funding that we secured, is an investment in the future growth of the Grand Forks Air Force Base and comes as part of our efforts to support our military families.

Now, with Altru participating in our Rural Health Transformation Program, we have the opportunity to bring health care in the Lake Region to the next level.

The transition of Devils Lake Hospital to Altru Health System is already paying dividends, with expanded services and a cohesive medical records system to improve patient care.
