One Big Beautiful Bill Delivers for West Virginia

Washington, D.C. – Today, the House of Representatives passed the final amended version of H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Congressman Riley M. Moore voted “Yes” on the legislation.
Congressman Moore issued the following statement:
The House Energy and Commerce Committee is set to revive the National Coal Council and "reinvigorate America’s beautiful clean coal industry," as President Donald Trump put it.
Committee Chairman Brett Guthrie, R-Ky., told Fox News Digital the National Coal Council legislation will successfully pass out of his committee Wednesday and have a good chance of passing the full House.
Reps. Michael Rulli, R-Ohio, and Riley Moore, R-W.V., are leading the legislation to reestablish the council, effectively canceled by former President Joe Biden, and support the clean coal industry for a multitude of reasons, including energy security at a time of Middle East uncertainty.

This legislation provides $452.64 billion for the Department of Veterans Affairs, which is $82.6 billion above the previous Fiscal Year 2025 enacted level.
Large golden scissors gleamed in the midday sun, as Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott, Sen. Shelley Moore Capito and Rep. Riley Moore smiled through the nearly 100-degree temperature, cutting a large ribbon to officially open a new facility at the agency's Advanced Training Center (ATC) campus outside Harpers Ferry.
“I’m excited to see what this center can bring in advanced training and technologies to each and every single one of the people that join to serve the public and the people of the United States,” Noem said.
“I have long believed that when you invest in things, you show you truly do care about them. … when you see people invest and build, they’re saying that they’re investing in the people that will train here.”
West Virginia’s Congressional delegation and governor are reaching out to President Donald Trump to seek help for those in need after deadly flash flooding in the Mountain State.
West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey announced Friday afternoon that he had made a formal request for a major disaster declaration and an emergency declaration for Ohio and Marion counties in the state. According to the governor, if the major disaster declaration is awarded, FEMA’s individual assistance program can provide homeowners and renters with financial aid, and an emergency declaration for public assistance would allow for supplemental financial assistance for local governments and state agencies.
After traveling to both Ohio and Marion counties and assessing the damage firsthand, I have asked President Donald Trump for a Major Disaster Declaration and an Emergency Declaration,” said Morrisey. “These declarations will help unlock federal resources to support our fellow West Virginians hardest hit by the major flooding events earlier this week.”
Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) and Jim Justice (R-W.Va.) and Representatives Carol Miller (R-W.Va.) and Riley Moore (R-W.Va.) all signed a letter addressed to the president and FEMA Region III Acting Regional Administrator Lilian Hutchinson, asking the president to proclaim that major disaster declaration. While Hutchinson is listed as an additional addressee of the letter, only President Trump has the authority to make a major disaster declaration.
