Welcome to the Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Cheney, the vice chairwoman of the committee, is one of two Republicans asked to serve on the panel by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Bakersfield) opted not to participate. If the committee votes to report a bill, the Committee Report is written. This report describes the purpose and scope of the measure and the reasons for recommended approval. House Report numbers are prefixed with “H.Rpt.” and then a number indicating the Congress (currently 107). After hearings are completed, the bill is considered in a session that is popularly known as the “mark-up” session.

FY2023 APPROPRIATIONS COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING REQUESTS

On July 31, 2023, Chair Rodgers and former Subcommittee on Environment, Manufacturing, and Critical Materials Chair Bill Johnson (R-OH) sent a letter calling on the EPA to extend the comment period for their new CPP2.0 proposal. On November 7, 2023, Chair Rodgers, Subcommittee on Energy, Climate, and Grid Security Chair Jeff Duncan (R-SC), and former Subcommittee Chair Johnson sent a letter to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on how new EPA regulations, including CPP2.0, would be detrimental to the U.S. electric grid. On November 14, 2023, Chair Rodgers, Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations Chair Morgan Griffith (R-VA), and former Subcommittee Chair Johnson sent a letter calling on EPA Administrator Michael Regan to withdraw the overreaching and unworkable CPP2.0 proposal. Mike is also a leader on legislation to support veterans and their families.

For existing long standing and comprehensive clinics, cancer prevention and early detection are effective means for reducing long-term costs. The AV is ideally suited for additional investments that would contribute to better patient outcomes and reduce cancer's burden. This project will fund the completion of an 18,600 sq ft facility that will provide bridge housing for up to 60 individuals and 8 families. This is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds as it will provide housing services to vulnerable and homeless populations in a region with high levels of housing insecurity. The project will fund the purchase of equipment for the College of the Canyons Robotic Automation Production Lab and Simulation Center. This is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds as it will enable the training of hundreds of students per year in the highly desirable advanced manufacturing.

Another priority for Mike is increasing oversight and accountability at the decommissioning San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) and moving the onsite spent nuclear fuel out of the region as quickly and safely as possible. Mike established a local task force upon arriving to Congress to formulate policy recommendations to address the hazardous waste. He is the founding Member and Co-Chair of the Spent Nuclear Fuel Solutions Caucus, a bipartisan group to drive progress on the safe storage, transportation, and disposal of nuclear fuel across the country. He has also led bipartisan legislation to prioritize the removal of spent nuclear fuel from environmentally sensitive sites like San Onofre and mandate resident inspectors at decommissioning nuclear power plants during sensitive activities.

He has managed to keep the committee publicly united on the investigation and largely avoided any behind-the-scenes disagreements from becoming public, including discussions over whether to call Donald Trump to testify. At the conclusion of deliberation, a vote of committee or subcommittee members is taken to determine what action to take on the measure. It can be reported, with or without amendment, or tabled, which means no further action on it will occur.

During his four years as Chair, the Subcommittee was one of the most productive in Congress, with 70 bills passing into law to serve veterans. Mike sponsored one of the most consequential pieces of legislation signed for veterans in recent years, the Johnny Isakson and David P. Roe, M.D. Veterans Health Care and Benefits Improvement Act of 2020, which strengthened and expanded a wide range of veterans’ benefits during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Mike continues his steadfast support of our servicemembers, introducing and passing bipartisan legislation to secure greater economic benefits to protect veterans’ financial futures and wellbeing.

Thompson has focused on domestic terrorism and cybersecurity — particularly election security — in his 17 years as the highest-ranking Democrat on the Homeland Security Committee. In May, Thompson said that it was unclear whether the former president would provide any new insight on the evidence already collected. This process can take place at either the subcommittee level or the full committee level, or at both. Hearings and markup sessions are status steps noted in the Legislative Action portion of Bill Status. A transcript of the testimony taken at a hearing is made available for inspection in the committee office, and frequently the complete transcript is printed and distributed by the committee.

The requested funding would be used for the integration of effective substance abuse prevention programs and services provided to 5,600 youths and their families at 26 sites in the Santa Clarita Valley. This project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because it will help curb the opioid crisis in one of the most affected areas for children in Los Angeles County. The requested funding will be used to make roadway improvements to enhance traffic circulation and pedestrian safety near a major retail, commercial, and residential hub. This is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because the project will improve the safety and flow of traffic along an area frequented by pedestrians and motorists.

I’m hosting the 2nd Annual San Fernando Valley Pride March & Block Party on June 29, in collaboration with Mayor Karen Bass and Somos Familia Valle. Starting at 11 AM, get fired up during our rally at Van Nuys Blvd. & Gault. Next, we’ll march the 1 mile down Van Nuys Blvd. to the Civic Center, showcasing the diversity and strength of our LGBTQ+ community in the 818. At the Block Party, we’ll enjoy entertainment, a food market, art and healing tents, and a resource fair with community and constituent services. The funding would improve safety and operation along the Antelope Valley Line by replacing rail,  replacing existing wood ties with concrete ties, surfacing, and destressing of the track between Acton Station and Via Princessa Station.
