| Senator Vance has started the new year off strong with pushes for real policy. See what he’s been up to!
Republican Senator JD Vance has been making regular visits to East Palestine since the derailment, and criticized the President for not doing the same. He calls this trip “too little, too late.” “A press conference by the President of the United States is not what the people of East Palestine need. What they need is a government that is actually paying attention to them and trying to help them solve the problems that were caused by this terrible explosion. So we need actual action, not just press conferences from politicians…”
No bill was passed. And accidents went up. “These figures show the railroad industry’s safety standards are getting worse,” said Senator J.D. Vance, Republican of Ohio and a co-sponsor of the bill. “We can reverse the trend by passing the Railway Safety Act immediately.” Read The New York Times’ article here.
“This is exactly the type of program my family would have benefited from if I was growing up in Ohio today,” said a statement from Vance, a Cincinnati Republican. “We must ensure low-income families all across Ohio, from our bustling cities to the most rural parts of Appalachia, aren’t cut off from the online banking, schooling, and connectivity services they need.” Read Cleveland.com’s article here.
Watch here. According to Vance, the legislation counteracts a Supreme Court decision that allowed the Biden Administration to continue dismantling border barriers built by Texas. “The Supreme Court gave Joe Biden a green light to cut down barriers put in place by the State of Texas,” Vance said. “My bill would codify the right of every state along the U.S.-Mexico border to defend its own territory. If Joe Biden refuses to take action, let the states get the job done.”

"Claims of radical transparency and tracking of U.S. weapons in Ukraine are simply not accurate," Vance wrote in the memo. "Assertions that ‘there is no evidence of illicit transfer of EEUM defense articles provided to Ukraine’ sidestep the reality that an accurate, up-to-date inventory of U.S.- supplied weapons in Ukraine – which the DOD IG report demonstrates that the U.S. does not have – is necessary to determine whether weapons have fallen into the wrong hands."

‘LET’S PUT AN END TO HOUSE AND SENATE DEMOCRATS’ POLITICAL GAMES ON ISRAEL’ (The Hill) -- Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) and Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Okla.) urged Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Wednesday to move forward on a bill that provides aid for Israel without offsetting funding elsewhere. “For months, Senate leadership has attempted to trade Ukraine aid for a bill that would secure America’s border,” the lawmakers said in a statement. “If news reports are in any way accurate, that border negotiation is a complete policy failure. It’s time to address the issues that unite Republicans, not divide them.” “We commend the Speaker for standing firm against this bad border deal, and urge him to put a clean, un-offset Israel bill on the floor of the House immediately,” they continued. “Let’s put an end to House and Senate Democrats’ political games on Israel.”
Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, on Tuesday called for a Senate Commerce Committee hearing to evaluate the safety of Boeing's 737 MAX aircraft after the plug door blew off a jet in midair over the weekend. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has already grounded all 171 Boeing 737 MAX 9 planes worldwide pending safety inspections. "The FAA has assured me the 737 MAX is safe – last week’s near catastrophe calls that determination into question," Vance said in a statement Tuesday. "Pilots have filed safety complaints on these aircraft, many of which had just rolled off the production line, at a rate which is unbecoming of American aviation. My own family has flown on 737 MAX aircraft multiple times in the past year. Every American deserves a full explanation from Boeing and the FAA on what’s gone wrong and on the steps that are being taken to ensure another incident does not occur in the future."
