| IT’S OFFICIAL. Senator JD Vance was sworn into office on January 3rd!  WASHINGTON, D.C. (WJW) – JD Vance has officially been sworn into the United States Senate. Joined in Washington, D.C. by his wife and three children, Vance became the 58th person to serve as a U.S. Senator for the State of Ohio. “I am honored to represent the great state of Ohio in the United States Senate. Throughout my campaign, Ohioans from all over the state issued a similar reminder: don’t forget where you came from. I view this, more than anything else, as the mandate for this office,” Vance said. “I hope that with this position, I can lend my voice to the millions of working- and middle-class Ohioans who have been left behind by decades of failed leadership in Washington. We have a great deal of work ahead of us. I am grateful for the opportunity.”    WASHINGTON (News 5) — For the first time in a dozen years Ohio has a new representative in the U.S. Senate. JD Vance was sworn in Tuesday on the floor of the Senate. "This is a great honor, this is an incredibly majestic place. It's a place where a lot of great things have happened," Vance said. Watch Senator Vance’s full interview:   ‘NOW THE HARD PART STARTS’ (The Dayton Daily News) -- The road from Middletown to Washington, D.C., has taken many detours for James David “JD” Vance, but the newly elected U.S. Senator believes all his successes began at home. Without that guidance, Vance doesn’t know where he would be today. Maybe a high school dropout. Or possibly a man with a criminal record. He wouldn’t be one of Ohio’s two state senators. That’s for certain, he said.

"I wanted to make sure that people get an opportunity to actually talk to me and I get an opportunity to talk to them because that's how you learn,” said Vance. “I want to be a good senator for the whole state.” Watch Senator Vance’s full interview:  ‘COMMEMORATING DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.’ Senator Vance spoke at the 38th Annual MLK Birthday Breakfast in Columbus. “We remember the lessons and values he contributed to our nation: love for our neighbors and the equality of all mankind.

Watch Senator Vance’s full interview below:   ‘BIDEN’S CAMPAIGN AGAINST OUR ENERGY INDUSTRY’ (Youngstown Vindicator) – Senator Vance penned an Op-ed bashing the Biden Administration’s considering banning gas stoves. “That would be catastrophic for the two-in-five Ohio households and thousands of Ohio restaurants that use gas-powered stovetops. Home cooks and local restaurants prefer gas burners for a simple reason: some of us find them better to cook with and cheaper to operate. Ohioans have suffered from inflation and rising energy costs long enough and should not be forced to choose more expensive and less effective alternatives to feed ourselves and our families. But that’s exactly what the Biden administration intends to do,” Vance wrote. Read the entire Op-ed here.  ‘THIS IS A MASSIVE GIFT TO THE DRUG CARTELS’ (The Daily Caller)-- Republican Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance and Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs are planning on sending a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Wednesday which calls for answers regarding mass parole for illegal migrants in the U.S. “Since the day they took office, President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas have purposefully and maliciously eroded our nation’s border security. They have presided over the worst border crisis we’ve seen in decades and more illegal immigration than any administration in recent history. Now, they aim to sidestep Congress and the law by granting parole to hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants,” Vance said. “This is a massive gift to the drug cartels and human traffickers that are killing Americans by the day and wreaking havoc on our country. The American people deserve to know why the Biden Administration has taken this action.”  ‘THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE TO KNOW HOW THEIR MONEY IS BEING SPENT’ Senator Vance joined Fox News’ Tucker Carlson to discuss his demanding a full report on how the billions of U.S. dollars in financial assistance for Ukraine has been spent. Watch Senator Vance’s full interview below:   ‘BIDEN ADMINISTRATION CAUGHT RED-HANDED’ (WLWT) -- In an interview with WLWT, freshman Sen. JD Vance says the Biden administration was caught “pretty red-handed” with a push to step in over gas stoves. “Depending on which numbers you're looking at, between 20 to 40% of Ohioans cook their meals every night. So just banning those would be destructive economically, really, really challenging to a lot of families. But the flip side of it is we've got a home appliance industry in Ohio that's close to $5 billion in wages, 26,000 employees,” Vance said.

Vance along with North Carolina Congressman, Dan Bishop are requesting transparency from the Biden administration on security assistance to Ukraine. "It's very simple. The Biden Administration is required by law to send Congress this report at the end of the month. They should expand this report to tell us the amount of money we've sent to Ukraine, including comprehensive information showing how these funds were used," Vance wrote. "Congress has shelled out more than $100 billion to support Ukraine since last February, yet we have zero insight into exactly what this money is being spent on. The American people deserve to know exactly where this money is going," Bishop added. Read the entire article here. |
