The Biden Administration has compounded this uncertainty with an unworkable regulatory regime.

American farmers and ranchers are the original conservationists.

Our Nation's small and rural communities depend on commercial air service for transportation, medical supplies, commercial goods.

This program is critical in rural America and has provided links to hub airports at more than 170 locations.

In order to achieve these goals, I request robust support for the following programs in FY 2025.

I can't speak enough about how grateful I am for the law enforcement that we have in our community right now.
