Communities should not foot the bill for data centers’ electricity.
Electricity consumption costs associated with building and operating data centers must be passed along to data centers, not the household ratepayer.
Proud to vote for this bill.
✅ PASSED THE HOUSE
The House just passed @RepGabeEvans’ Ratepayer Protection Act, securing protections for American families from rising energy costs and holding data centers responsible for their energy use.

Maternity care, expanded healthcare provider care generally and other services helps rural communities access health resources and treatments.
My discussion on some of today’s policy proposals that meet these goals.
Strengthening the rural health care workforce is critical to maintaining access for patients in rural and hard-to-reach areas—especially when it comes to obstetrics.
The Rural Obstetrics Readiness Act helps rural clinics train staff to be better prepared for maternal emergencies, helping districts like Chairman @RepMGriffith’s which represent large rural communities.

Health care issues that divert time and attention away from patient care need to be addressed.
I believe work on these bills will support physicians, patients and community access to care.
WATCH: Chairman @RepMGriffith opens today's Health hearing examining legislation to address issues facing Medicare provider payments and bolster cybersecurity in our health care system.
@HouseCommerce is continuing the charge to ensure all Americans have reliable and affordable access to health care.
