“For years, experts have warned that our grid operators face growing reliability risks as electricity demand continues to increase, which means we need to get serious about planning for the future. Getting the forecast wrong can create problems in both directions.”

“Madam Speaker, I thank Chairman Guthrie for his continued leadership of the committee. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 9332, the Load Forecasting Enhancement Act, which shields Americans from unnecessary costs and strengthens long-term energy reliability. Our electric grid is entering a period of historic change.”

“FERC would then report those findings and recommendations to Congress. The bill also requires States to consider incorporating the recommendations, greatly improving transparency and accountability in load forecasting. With this legislation, we can make sure the people responsible for planning our electric grid have the best information possible. Madam Speaker, we want America to lead the world in manufacturing and innovation. We want businesses to invest and create good-paying jobs. Most importantly, we want communities across Ohio and across this country to benefit from the growth. By passing my bill, Congress can help lower costs for consumers and ensure our grid can keep pace with the growing demand. Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from New Jersey, Congressman Menendez, for co-leading the Load Forecasting Enhancement Act with me.”

“For years, experts have warned that our grid operators face growing reliability risks as electricity demand continues to increase, which means we need to get serious about planning for the future. Getting the forecast wrong can create problems in both directions. If we underestimate demand, we risk not building enough generation and transmission to keep the lights on. If we overestimate the demand, we could end up spending billions of dollars on infrastructure for projects that never materialize, leaving American ratepayers responsible for footing the bill. The Load Forecasting Enhancement Act would bring State utility regulators and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission together through regional joint boards to identify best practices for forecasting future electricity demand.”

“Madam Speaker, I thank Chairman Guthrie for his continued leadership of the committee. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 9332, the Load Forecasting Enhancement Act, which shields Americans from unnecessary costs and strengthens long-term energy reliability. Our electric grid is entering a period of historic change. We see rapid growth in demand from advanced manufacturing and electrification. These projects represent economic opportunity and investment in our communities, but they also raise important questions: How much electricity are we going to need, and where do we need it? Keeping the lights on starts with understanding changing power needs and getting the right infrastructure in place.”

“Importantly, this bill does not infringe on local control over the siting and permitting of these projects. Mr. Speaker, I thank Congressman Evans for leading this bipartisan legislation and urge my colleagues to support the bill.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 9340, the Ratepayer Protection Act. This bill codifies the principles of the President's Ratepayer Protection Pledge, ensuring that Ohio families and small businesses aren't left on the hook to pay the costs associated with generation and energy infrastructure needed to power large data centers. As demand for electricity continues to rise across Ohio and the Nation, it is critical that Congress takes action to protect our constituents from increased electric bills. Ohio has already taken strong steps to make sure large electricity users contribute appropriately to the costs they impose on the grid. The Ratepayer Protection Act builds on that commonsense approach by directing States to adopt standards that ensure these facilities pay their fair share.”

“The AADAPT Act strengthens and reauthorizes the Project ECHO program, giving those providers access to specialized training and mentoring so they can recognize the signs of a potential condition and deliver better care earlier and closer to home. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill, which is a practical, bipartisan solution that strengthens our healthcare workforce and improves access to quality care for patients and families.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 3747, the AADAPT Act. Alzheimer's disease is one of the most significant public health challenges facing our country today. More than 7 million Americans, including over 236,000 Ohioans, are living with this devastating disease, and those numbers continue to grow. The sooner we can identify Alzheimer's and other dementias, the sooner patients and families can begin treatment, plan for the future, and access the care and support they need. For many families, especially in rural and underserved communities, a primary care provider is the first, and often only, healthcare professional they see when memory loss or cognitive decline begins.”

“Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.J. Res. 88. In the final weeks of 2024, the Biden-led EPA approved a waiver allowing California to ban the sale of gas-powered diesel and even hybrid vehicles by 2035, effectively paving the way for the State to set emission standards for the entire Nation. This resolution overturns this waiver, protecting the right of every American to choose the vehicle that works best for them. For many consumers and entrepreneurs, they see conventional gas-powered cars as reliable, affordable, and able to meet the needs of their families and small businesses. Yet, the Biden administration chose to team up with radical climate activists to support the one-size-fits-all electric vehicle mandate that the market and the American people have clearly rejected.”

“Mr. Speaker, fentanyl has ravaged communities in my district and across Ohio. In 2023, our state saw more than 3,500 fentanyl overdoses, representing 98 percent of all opioid deaths. Families are being torn apart and law enforcement is fighting an uphill battle to keep this poison off our streets. That's why I proudly support the HALT Fentanyl Act, which gives law enforcement the certainty and stability they need to crack down on traffickers and prevent illicit fentanyl from entering our country. We cannot allow this crisis to continue unchecked. And we must act now to protect our communities, support law enforcement, and save lives. I urge my House colleagues to support this bill.”
