Rep. Troy E. Nehls Provides an Update on the Speaker's Election Greetings! Folks, let me give you an inside view into the Swamp and a recap of what has happened in Texas’ 22nd District. For the past two weeks, I have been in Washington, D.C., working with my Republican colleagues to elect a new Speaker of the House. As you know, on October 3, 2023, Speaker McCarthy was removed as Speaker. This was the first time in American history that a motion to vacate was successful. Since then, there have been three failed speaker votes for Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH-4), whom I support. The United States House of Representatives is in unchartered waters. Never in American history has the House been without leadership, resulting in disarray and gridlock. Now, it seems that there is no clear path forward. I believe the time has come for the leader of the Republican Party, Donald J. Trump, to be the Speaker of the House for the next 100 days so that we can continue to focus on exposing the Biden Crime Family and pass the 8 remaining individual funding bills to ensure that our federal government is fully funded for Fiscal Year 2024. This Week in TX-22 Office of Rep. Troy E. Nehls Presents WWII Veteran with Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition and Congressional Challenge Coin Members of my team had the privilege of presenting Mr. Robert Wright of Rosenberg, Texas, with a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition and my Congressional Challenge Coin. Mr. Wright enlisted in the United States Army on November 9, 1942, and was discharged as corporal on December 3, 1945. During World War II, Mr. Wright was stationed stateside. He was awarded the American Theatre Ribbon and the Victory Medal for his selfless service to our country. Thank you, Mr. Wright, for your service! Veterans History Project Submissions Are Now Open I am pleased to announce that submissions to the Veterans History Project (VHP) is now open to veterans residing in TX-22 who served in the U.S. military in any capacity. VHP accepts veterans’ personal narratives in the forms of original, unedited audio-and video-recorded interviews, photographs, letters, diaries, journals, military documents, two-dimensional artwork, maps, and unpublished memoirs that meet minimum requirements. Researchers, scholars and educators rely upon VHP collections as a primary source. These oral histories, photographs, manuscripts and other original materials are a rich supplement to historical texts, and a valued cultural resource. Veterans’ family members treasure the memories that are permanently preserved at the Library of Congress for future generations. A briefing will be scheduled prior to your interview in order to answer questions and prepare participants. Pre-interviews may also be scheduled during this time. Date, time and location will be announced once we receive the list of interested participants. If interested please provide your name, phone number, and email address to: [email protected]. For more information, you may call (713) 806-8878. Information About the Ongoing Situation in Israel The Department of State continues to closely monitor the security situation in Israel. The Department has a 24/7 coordinating group communicating with U.S. citizens and providing them assistance through phone calls and an online form. U.S. citizens seeking to be in touch with the U.S. Embassy in Israel can fill out the form ([link removed]) or call 1-833-890-9595 or 1-606-641-0131. While commercial flights remain available and should be considered a first option, the State Department will soon offer departure assistance to American citizens through chartered transportation. American citizens who want to leave Israel on USG-chartered transportation must submit a Crisis Intake Form. After submitting a Crisis Intake Form, American citizens can expect an email from the State Department with additional guidance imminently. Please check your spam/junk mailboxes if you do not receive an email. For more information, please visit my website, or call my district office at (346) 762-6600.
