187 years ago today Toledo became part of the state of Ohio. It is the honor of a lifetime to represent my home town in Congress, and to continue to fight every single day to better our city and all of NW Ohio.

3 years ago my colleagues and I were trapped in the gallery above the House floor for 41 minutes. I want to thank all the Capitol Police Officers who held the line that day and kept us safe. One year later I spoke to Taylor Popielarz and shared our story.
The numbers are in: In 2023, our economy added another 2.7 million jobs. That adds up to more than 14.3 million jobs added in the last three years alone.
In 2024, I won't stop fighting to grow the middle class from the bottom up and middle out, and bring down costs for families.
Good to be back at Walt Churchill’s Market in Perrysburg. Walt Churchill Jr., son of the original founder, greeted us with CEO Kunal Dawar. Kunal worked his way up from cashier and store clerk all the way to CEO — a true story of success, dedication, and perseverance.
Proud to lead my Labor Caucus colleagues in calling for a thorough review of the planned acquisition of US Steel by a foreign entity. We must ensure the American steel industry and this lodestar company remain for years to come—American steelworkers’ deserve a seat at the table.
Unemployment in the US has racked its 22nd straight month below 4% — the longest stretch in more than half a century.
Don’t let the pundits fool you, we are building an economy from the bottom up and middle out to lift up all Americans.
Happy New Year! May 2024 bring health, happiness, new hopes, new dreams, and new beginnings to you and yours.
Eddie Bernice Johnson was a trailblazer — as we served together I often admired the example she set as the first RN in Congress, founder of the Tri-Caucus, and a leader on issues of science and health — her profound impact made our country better for so many in Texas and beyond.
Triumphs of wildlife conservation under the ESA are the result of robust partnerships. Such collaboration has the potential to achieve another 50 years of similar success. Let us continue our work to protect the brilliance of our natural world for future generations. Onward!
From African savannas to Asian waterways to South American jungles and European forests, the international provisions in the ESA ensure iconic and unfamiliar species alike are protected through trade sanctions and import regulations.
In our district, the Kitty Todd Nature Preserve was selected as the first location for reintroduction of the Karner Blue butterfly, whose caterpillar will only feed on wild Blue Lupine. These 1,300 square miles host unique ecosystems and are the centerpiece of the Oak Openings.
Without connected and diverse habitats, we cannot save our wildlife. Coast to coast protection of critical ecosystems is an influential part of the ESA. At home in northwest Ohio, organizations like the Black Swamp Conservancy worked hard to conserve thousands of acres of diverse habitat.
Lake Sturgeon—the oldest and largest native species in our Great Lakes—barely survived overfishing in the early 1900's. Listed as endangered in many states, federal protections are pending. Ongoing research and restoration are rebuilding the population of these freshwater giants.
Nearly wiped out from fire suppression and nest-raiding cowbirds, the Great Lakes’ Kirtland Warbler population bottomed out at 200 males. Today, their numbers are close to 2,300. While there is more to do, these Warblers are well on their way to a full recovery.
Closer to home, the Purple Cat’s Paw Pearly Mussel is found throughout the Ohio River basin. These freshwater mussels were considered extinct until 1994. Through coordinated management, they recovered and continue to play a crucial role in preserving healthy water sources.
47 states have enacted legislation replicating the federal standard. In Ohio, the Department of Natural Resources oversees the protection of 131 species currently listed as endangered. Seeking input from staff and wildlife experts, the ODNR updates their list every 5 years.
The ESA has prevented the extinction of nearly 300 species, including Blue Whales, the largest mammals to have ever lived. Almost eradicated due to industrial whaling, these beautiful behemoths have been pulled from the brink thanks to ongoing conservation efforts.
Bald Eagles are one of the Act’s most visible successes. Due to DDT poisoning, these mighty birds were nearly brought to extinction when their eggshells became too fragile. Banning DDT was responsible for their impressive recovery and today, there are over 300,000 soaring eagles.
The success of the ESA is thanks to the tremendous work of thousands of activists' groups and government organizations dedicated to saving species such as the Florida Manatee. 99% of the species protected under the ESA have been saved or are on the road to recovery.
