News from Representative Mooney

This Week in Congress

On Thursday, His Holiness Pope Francis spoke to a Joint Session of Congress. In his speech, Pope Francis highlighted the importance of upholding traditional family values, protecting the sanctity of life, and standing up for freedom. A video of the Pope's address can be found here.

Friday, I supported and helped pass the bipartisan RAPID Act. This bill would streamline the federal environmental regulatory review process, which will help West Virginia businesses receive federal permits more quickly, so that they can move forward with their projects.

Also on Friday, Speaker of the House John Boehner announced that he will resign from Congress at the end of October. I am grateful for Speaker John Boehner for his service to our country. I respect Speaker Boehner and wish him the best as he enters the next phase of his blessed life. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives to select a Speaker who will fight for West Virginia jobs and values.

This Week in the 2nd District

Early this week, I had the pleasure of visiting many different groups and businesses near Charleston! On Monday, I met with local Credit Union officials who provide invaluable support to many West Virginia families and businesses. Tuesday, I toured the Home Depot of South Ridge and the Chemours Plant in Belle, which employs over 600 hardworking people.

 

One of my favorite aspects of serving as your U.S. Representative is traveling home to our district to meet with West Virginians who are doing great things around our state: creating jobs, running a religious or civic organization, educating our youth, working and raising a family, or caring for our seniors or those in need - just to name a few. 

It is far too common for Big Government to get in the way of our ability to perform these important responsibilities. I am fighting for common-sense reforms to government that lower our taxes, reduce burdensome regulations, and that honor our state motto: "Mountaineers Are Always Free."

Please take a minute to watch my recent interview where I discuss opportunities to reform the Federal Government.

If you have any thoughts on how I can better serve you, please contact one of my offices listed below. 

Thank you,

Alex X. Mooney
Member of Congress
