What Troy Balderson said, and what was done

“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.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and memory of Captain Seth Koval. Captain Koval was a devoted husband and father who tragically lost his life in the line of duty in an aircraft collision over Iraq.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank Vice Chair Weber for yielding. Mr. Speaker, America's electric grid is facing a reliability crisis, one created by heavyhanded Federal rulemakings that prioritize politics and ignore the realities of power generation and the needs of American families.”

“The Reliable Power Act puts an end to this by preventing Federal rules from moving forward if they threaten the ability of the grid to keep the lights on.”

“The Reliable Power Act directly responds to those concerns. First, it requires NERC, the electricity reliability organization, to conduct annual long-term assessments of the bulk power system. If NERC finds the grid is at risk of inadequate generation, it must notify FERC.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairman Latta for yielding me time. Mr. Speaker, the Power Plant Reliability Act is a commonsense step to ensure that the power plant retirements do not undermine the reliability of our electric grid.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the Improving Interagency Coordination for Pipeline Reviews Act. This legislation will bring much-needed reforms to the Federal permitting process. Natural gas has become the foundation of America's energy mix, accounting for almost 40 percent of our total energy production and 43 percent of electricity generation.”

“Mr. Speaker, House Republicans and President Trump remain firm in our commitment to lowering costs for families and restoring American energy dominance. I am proud to represent parts of the Utica and Marcellus shale formations, where natural gas development has transformed local economies and strengthened our Nation's energy security.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairman Bilirakis for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of my bill, the Awning Safety Act, which aims to enhance the safety of awnings commonly found in Ohio homes and households across the Nation.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of my bill, the Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety and Oversight Improvements Act. Mr. Speaker, for far too long, manufacturers in Ohio and across the Nation have had to compete on an unfair playing field.”

“Mr. Chair, communities in my district and across the country continue to feel the devastating impact of the opioid and fentanyl crisis. We all know someone who has been affected, and many of us felt that loss ourselves.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank Mr. Weber for yielding me time. I rise today in strong support of S.J. Res. 31. This resolution would disapprove of the Biden-era EPA's ``once in, always in'' rule, which was finalized in the final months of the previous administration.”

“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.”

“Madam Speaker, I thank Chairman Westerman for yielding to me. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 26, the Protecting American Energy Production Act. This bill is critically important to supporting Ohio's energy producers and restoring American energy dominance long into the future.”

“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.”
