Washington, D.C. – On Tuesday, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) was given the Legislator of the Year Award by the American Ambulance Association for her work supporting rural healthcare. This recognition follows Congresswoman Miller’s introduction of legislation that would increase Medicare reimbursement rates for EMS providers and adjust the compensation Critical Access Hospitals receive for emergency medical transports in mountainous areas. More information on the specific bills can be found below.
“I was honored to be given the Legislator of the Year Award by the American Ambulance Association. Serving on the Health Subcommittee of the Committee on Ways and Means has given me the opportunity to address key issues affecting rural populations at home in West Virginia and throughout the country. Everyone, regardless of where they live, deserves access to quality, life-saving care,” said Congresswoman Carol Miller.
Today’s award presentation took place at Jan-Care’s Beckley facilities, where Congresswoman Miller toured to see firsthand the work EMS providers undertake for West Virginians in need. Employing 430 individuals, Jan-Care provides services to 11 counties in West Virginia and is the primary 911 service in five counties. On average, Jan-Care responds to over 100,000 calls for help per year, driving more than 6 million miles to deliver EMT services throughout its coverage area.
Background:
In December 2025, Congresswoman Miller introduced the Rural Hospital Flexibility Act. This bipartisan legislation strengthens the Medicare Rural Hospital Flexibility Program so Critical Access Hospitals have the resources they need to improve quality, modernize services, and adapt to new care models.
In September 2025, Congresswoman Miller joined several House Republican colleagues in sending a letter to the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Health Resources & Services Administration, and U.S. Department of Agriculture urging the agencies to protect access to ground ambulance services provided to patients in rural areas by promptly updating geographic adjustments to the Medicare Ambulance Fee Schedule to ensure correct payment for rural and super-rural communities.
In June 2025, Congresswoman Miller introduced the Preserving Emergency Access in Key Sites Act (PEAKS) Act, which would allow for Critical Access Hospitals located in mountainous areas to be reimbursed for their emergency medical transportation services.
In March 2025, Congresswoman Miller introduced the Protecting Access to Ground Ambulance Medical Services Act, which would ensure that rural and remote communities maintain access to critical emergency services by providing adequate Medicare reimbursements for emergency service providers, helping them hire and retain EMT staff and modernize their equipment to continue delivering life-saving care.

WASHINGTON –Today, Congressman David Valadao (CA-22) joined Reps. Erin Houchin (IN-09), Lori Trahan (MA-03), and Mark Pocan (WI-02) to introduce the Campus Lifeline Act of 2026. This bipartisan bill would mandate the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline be printed on new driver’s licenses and student ID cards to help connect teens and young adults with mental health resources. It would also expand Garrett Lee Smith (GLS) Memorial Grants to include peer-to-peer early intervention activities by student groups.
“Young adults are facing a growing mental health crisis, but too many still don’t know where to turn for help,”said Congressman Valadao.“While California law requires the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline be printed on student ID cards, access to this lifesaving resource shouldn’t depend on your zip code. By expanding existing Garrett Lee Smith (GLS) Memorial Grants and ensuring 988 is added to new IDs nationwide, we can raise awareness for mental health care, connect more people to support, and help prevent tragedies before they happen.”
“We have a responsibility to make sure young people know where to turn in a moment of crisis,”said Rep. Houchin.“During Youth Mental Health Awareness Week, I’m proud to introduce the Campus Lifeline Act to expand access to the 988 Lifeline and strengthen support on campuses. This bill promotes early intervention, student engagement, and life-saving mental health resources. It’s our goal to make sure every young person knows help is available.”
“Every young person deserves access to compassionate, lifesaving mental health care when they need it most,”said Rep. Trahan.“I was proud to lead the Garrett Lee Smith Reauthorization Act to strengthen and expand suicide prevention programs for young people, and this bipartisan legislation builds on that work by increasing awareness of and access to these vital services. By leveraging the reach of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, we can connect more teens and young adults with the support they need, ensure they know help is available, and reach more young people before a crisis becomes a tragedy.”
“The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline has saved lives. There’s no question about it,”said Rep. Pocan.“The more awareness we can raise about 988, especially among our young people, the better. I’m glad to help lead this effort with Reps. Houchin, Trahan, and Valadao.”
“Youth-informed policy is not only powerful, it’s necessary. The best policies and laws are shaped by those with firsthand experience who understand both the challenges and the solutions. We are grateful to Representatives Houchin (R-IN), Trahan (D-MA), Valadao (R-CA), and Pocan (D-WI) for recognizing the importance of youth-led solutions and for their bipartisan leadership on the Campus Lifeline Act. What began as a youth-led initiative to place 988 on the back of student ID cards on campuses has now grown into the introduction of federal legislation with the potential to create nationwide change. Awareness and education around mental health resources are vital, and when young people lead, they help create solutions that are practical and accessible,”said Anika Rahman, Director of Policy, Active Minds.
The Campus Lifeline Act of 2026 would:
Clarify existing statute to allow the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline to be printed on new drivers’ licenses and student campus IDs.
Expand existing Garrett Lee Smith (GLS) Memorial Grants’ allowable use to include early intervention activities by student groups and prioritize this use in future grantmaking.
Clarify existing application requirements on stakeholder input and outreach strategies to include meaningful student involvement.
La Villa, Texas –Today, Congressman Vicente Gonzalez (TX-34), joined by City of La Villa Mayor Rosa Perez, delivered $919,000 in community project funding he secured for the La Villa Fire Department to purchase a new firetruck and firefighting equipment. The Congressman successfully advocated for the inclusion of these funds in the Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) appropriations bill, which he voted to pass and was subsequently signed into law.
“As a member of Congress, I am able to champion direct federal funding for up to 15 community projects in South Texas designed to improve our daily lives,” said Congressman Gonzalez. “A new firetruck and firefighting equipment are essential tools that enable faster response times from our brave first responders, which could be the difference between life and death. I am proud to have secured this project in Congress, and look forward to continuing to work with Mayor Perez and local leaders to ensure federal investments continue making their way to La Villa.”
For FY26, Congressman Gonzalez secured nearly $13 million for 15 community projects in South Texas, including this project, that will enhance public safety, expand workforce development, improve water infrastructure, and support environmental and recreational needs in the region.

Every day, teachers inspire generations of students, instilling a desire for knowledge and a determination to make a change in the world around them. I was lucky enough to learn from some wonderful teachers growing up, and was able to pour back those lessons into my own students. I’m proud to join my Missouri colleagues in recognizing the importance of teachers in America, who deserve to be celebrated not only on Teacher Appreciation Week, but all the time,” said Congressman Bell.
“Thank you to Missouri’s hard-working teachers who go above and beyond every day to shape and inspire our future generations while instilling valuable knowledge in our students. I’m grateful for their dedication to our children in the fourth district and across the Show Me State. Teacher Appreciation Week is the perfect time to recognize their critical role in preparing the next generation for success. I’m proud to join my Missouri colleagues in this bipartisan resolution honoring the lasting impact of America’s teachers,”said Congressman Mark Alford

YesterdayCongressman Chris Pappas (NH-01), Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander (NH-02),andmore than 250 Senate and House Democratsfiled an amicus briefto the Supreme Court urging them to overturn a Fifth Circuit decision that would upend the FDA approval process and restrict access to life-saving mifepristone. This brief follows emergency appeals from the manufacturers of mifepristone; the Supreme Court issuing a temporary stay of the decision Monday morning until next Monday, May 11; and the announcement that the Court has ordered briefing on the stay by this Thursday, May 7.
The lawmakers argued that mifepristone already undergoes a rigorous FDA approval process, and the medication has repeatedly been found to be safe and effective. For a court to overturn this decision not only limits who is able to receive this vital and life-saving medication, putting lives at risk, but it also undermines the longstanding, congressionally mandated, and evidence-based decision-making process at the FDA.
“For more than a quarter century, FDA has repeatedly and consistently affirmed that mifepristone is safe. Over seven million patients in the U.S. have safely used mifepristone. And as with other drugs, FDA continues to monitor the post-marketing safety data on mifepristone—data confirming that mifepristone is safe without regard to how it is dispensed,”the members wrote.
The lawmakers also argued that the Fifth Circuit ruling was clearly not based on the merits of the distribution method of mifepristone, or the scientific backing of the medication, but rather a desire to limit the ability of individuals to receive abortion medication. The emergency stay is necessary to ensure that Louisiana is not able to deny medically appropriate care to patients far beyond the state’s borders.
“Decades after FDA’s initial approval of mifepristone and years after the in-person dispensing requirement was eliminated, the Fifth Circuit on an ‘emergency’ basis ordered FDA to re-impose this onerous nationwide restriction on all Americans. Allowing that decision to remain in place undermines the science-based statutory framework Congress commands and threatens patient access to reproductive health care,”the members continued.“As has been well publicized, many U.S. residents in states where abortion is legal live far from any reproductive health care provider. Reinstating an in-person dispensing requirement for mifepristone exacerbates an already significant reproductive health crisis by limiting access to the most common method of early abortion.”
The members argued that this is a clear case of judicial overreach by a lower district court.
“Preserving evidence-based access to mifepristone, including when dispensed by mail or retail pharmacy, is necessary to mitigate the imminent harm facing members of the public. Women deserve access to mifepristone for reproductive health care, and all Americans deserve integrity in the congressionally mandated, evidence-based process for FDA’s drug regulatory decisions,”the members concluded.
The amicus brief was signed by 212 Democratic U.S. Representatives and all 47 Democratic U.S. Senators.

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Representative Gregory W. Meeks (D-NY), Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio raising concern over the incomplete release of Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 programmatic data for the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). In the letter, the lawmakers underscore that PEPFAR’s longstanding bipartisan support is rooted in its record of transparency and warn that the omission of data from the first three quarters of FY2025 undermines congressional oversight and accountability. They call on the State Department to immediately release the missing data and maintain PEPFAR’s established reporting standards. They also raise concerns about the stark decline in testing, diagnosis and treatment initiations—particularly for infants—and the prospects for achieving epidemic control by 2030.
“The President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) has enjoyed overwhelming bipartisan support since it was established in 2003. This support is largely due to the program’s exceptional record of transparency, which allows for public verification of its results through comprehensive quarterly reporting. Unfortunately, PEPFAR’s programmatic data for FY2025, released on April 17th, only provides data for the fourth quarter of FY 2025, omitting critical data for the first three quarters of the year,”wrote the lawmakers.
“The failure to maintain accurate data was an entirely avoidable outcome of the administration’s chaotic decision to disrupt essential work without a plan to sustain basic oversight and accountability mechanisms. These failures are not an excuse to avoid releasing available data to the public in accordance with the standing expectations for transparency of the PEPFAR program and existing statute, and we ask that data from the first three quarters of FY2025 be released publicly,”continued the lawmakers.
“We understand that in January 2026, preliminary Q1-Q4 data was posted in January for a short period of time and shows substantial disruptions across PEPFAR services, particularly in testing, diagnosing, and the number of people initiated on treatment in FY25. In particular, PrEP initiations declined starkly along with infant testing, diagnoses and treatment initiations. While the State Department has seemingly tried to obfuscate this alarming data by briefing Congress that the number of individuals on treatment remained stable, the complete data set raises serious concerns about the prospects of achieving and maintaining epidemic control,”continued the lawmakers.
“After decades of U.S investment, PEPFAR, was on track to eradicate HIV/AIDS by 2030. That remarkable goal is only within reach because we gained a detailed understanding of the HIV epidemic through the collection, analysis and dissemination of data, which in turn allows programs to reach the right people in the right place at the right time. Without this understanding, we risk squandering the U.S.’s legacy of leading the worldwide charge to eradicate HIV/AIDS and save lives,”concluded the lawmakers.
