| Senator Vance has been quite busy representing the People of Ohio in Washington since he swore his oath just over two months ago.  ‘WE OWE EVERY AMERICAN THE PEACE OF MIND THAT THEIR COMMUNITY IS PROTECTED FROM A CATASTROPHE OF THIS KIND’ (Wall Street Journal) – Ohio senators are leading a bipartisan effort to respond to last month’s train derailment in their state, proposing legislation that would subject railroads to a series of new federal safety regulations and increase fines for wrongdoing. Senators JD Vance and Sherrod Brown, Sens. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.), Josh Hawley (R. Mo.), Bob Casey (D., Pa.) and John Fetterman (D., Pa.), introduced legislation intended to prevent future train disasters such as the Feb. 3 derailment of Norfolk Southern Corp. railcars near East Palestine, Ohio. The bill’s bipartisan nature could give it momentum in the Senate…  Watch Senator Vance’s full interview:   Vance and Brown sent a letter Monday to EPA Administrator Michael Regan and CDC Director Rochelle Walensky about concerns over testing for residents. The lack of access to testing led the senators to call on the federal government to allocate the resources and expertise needed to find a medical baseline for the community. “In the coming months and years, additional epidemiologic assessments will be necessary to identify potential longer-term negative health outcomes in exposed residents.”  ‘EAST PALESTINE NEEDS LONG-TERM INVESTMENT’ (Washington Post) – No matter how much independent testing shows the worst of the environmental catastrophe is behind us, East Palestine will be dealing with bad perception, and its economic consequences, for years. The mayor, a good man with an impossible job, told me that about half of his constituents are terrified and half of them just want the media circus to go home so they can get to work rebuilding the community they love. We can help, not just tomorrow but months from now. East Palestine needs long-term investment, from both the federal government and Norfolk Southern Railway. Read Senator Vance’s full Op-ed here.

JD Vance will co-chair the U.S. Senate’s Great Lakes Task Force, replacing his predecessor Rob Portman at the helm of a group that pushes to protect the world’s largest freshwater lake system. “The people of Ohio deserve a bipartisan, whole-of-government approach to the problems affecting our abundant natural resources. That’s exactly what this task force aims to provide and I’ll do all that I can to ensure the Great Lakes are protected not just today, but for generations to come,” said Vance. Ohio needs a true conservative in the U.S. Senate. It needs someone who understands how our economic and government leaders conspire to make life harder for normal Americans. Ohio needs JD Vance.
