As #WomensHistoryMonth comes to a close, I rose to recognize NW Ohio trailblazer Louise Brower. In 1975 she broke barriers becoming the first woman to serve as a Principal of a large metropolitan Ohio High School. At Scott High she led with strength, dignity and an unwavering belief in her students.

Great afternoon at the Ottawa County Farm Bureau Legislative Lunch where I provided an update on my work in Congress to get a new Farm Bill that helps address skyrocketing costs of fertilizer and diesel and allows for planning for years to come. NW Ohio farmers, producers, and growers need our help.
During #WomensHistoryMonth we honor, recognize and celebrate Ohio Extension Agent Amy Stone for 33 years of extraordinary vigilant service to the agricultural community of Ohio through The Ohio State University Extension. Amy Stone has left NW Ohio stronger, healthier and greener than she found it.
We are now more than one month into an undeclared War in Iran, and now the Administration will move American ground troops in harm’s way just days before the Passover and Easter holidays.
Roger Carpenter was a patriot and dear citizen who devoted 75 years of his life to shaping character, citizenship, and service in Oak Harbor in NW Ohio. For generations of young people in Troop 316 he was a Scoutmaster who taught values, and was a steady hand, who personified the Scout Oath and Law.
Time will tell, but history will poorly judge those who decided to play politics with the lives and livelihoods of countless Americans. If they leave town without solving their own crisis, may it weigh heavily on their conscience.
5/5
It is a policy choice to turn a blind eye on TSA workers as America's airports have hours long lines, and millions of travelers from near and far are caught in the crossfire. I stand ready to vote once Speaker Johnson sees that recklessness has failed.
4/5
To even consider not funding these agencies as tens of millions of Americans prepare to travel for the Passover and Easter holidays show where their priorities truly lie. On top of that, we are at the peak of the busy Spring Break travel season.
3/5
For Speaker Johnson and the Republican House Majority to not allow a vote on legislation the Senate has already passed on a bipartisan basis to fully fund these critical agencies is shortsighted and cruel.
2/5
🧵The House got it wrong passing legislation with no chance to pass the Senate or become law. The Speaker should immediately allow a vote on the Senate bill which would fully fund TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard and Cyber Defense which are critical to our nation.
1/5
Republican Leaders think a bipartisan deal to pay TSA before Easter is “garbage.” I disagree.
The Senate followed what I have said since this DHS Shutdown began: let us fund TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, and Cyber Defense now, and then continue to work on ICE and CBP reforms the American public demand.
In NW Ohio and across our Heartland farmers are hurting. 2 years of record drought, a year of reckless tariffs, export markets drying up abroad, and now War in Iran. 1/3 of the world fertilizer supply and 25% of oil pass through the Strait of Hormuz. As planting season is upon us costs are going up.
#EqualPayDay reminds us that women must work 84 days longer to earn the same pay as men did on average last year. That gap continues to grow—even more so for many women of color whose Equal Pay Day’s aren't until July and October! Equal pay for equal work isn’t optional—let’s work to close that gap!

Nothing says 'winning' like a $30 billion+ war that costs you at the pump, and now even when you're trying to send a damn care package.
🚨🚨🚨The President’s attack on Iran is going to hit your wallet again. For the first time in US history, the USPS will impose an 8% surcharge on packages to cover the rising cost of fuel. Add another cost working Americans will have to take on as we deal with new uncertainty in the Middle East.
I work every day for the families of NW Ohio and across our country, but if we look around, we see they're being squeezed due to the President’s hasty and reckless decisions. The average price of gasoline across our Buckeye State of Ohio is $3.82—nationwide it is up more than $1 a gallon in a month!
Little Flower Scouts had many questions about citizenship, agriculture, and protecting our environment. As a once and forever Little Flower Girl Scout, I was glad to be with them. I look forward to seeing all of these young Scouts again once they've earned their Citizenship Badges.
More workers say they are struggling in life than ever before. Whether it’s gas, food, rent, housing, or healthcare—costs are exploding and only getting worse. I wish the Trump White House was as focused on affordability as they are on gold ballrooms and limiting voting rights.
