“happy Saint Patrick's Day. Today is a great day across the globe where we celebrate the patron saint of Ireland, and we are reminded of all that the Irish and the Irish diaspora have contributed to humanity and accomplished worldwide. Here in the United States of America, since 1991, every President, Democrat or Republican, has issued a proclamation declaring March as Irish Heritage Month, until now. For 35 years this longstanding tradition has been honored. This President has failed to do so. Therefore, I hereby declare on behalf of a grateful nation March 2026 as Irish Heritage Month in the United States of America. Some may ask: What Congressman has the power to do such a thing? The answer is easy. I am simply declaring what is inherently true, whether the President of the United States of America continues to be derelict in his duty to officially declare it such or not. To be Irish is to know the struggle for democracy, liberty, and freedom. From the very beginning of our Nation, the Irish have ensured that these noble aims have persevered. The American story could not have been written without the contributions made by the intrepid Irish immigrants who came to our shores in pursuit of prosperity and, in turn, made our Nation what it is today.”
