November 25, 2020 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi the Honorable Nita
November 25, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Nita Lowey Speaker of the House of Representatives Chairwoman U.S. House of Representatives Appropriations Committee H-232, U.S. Capitol H-307, U.S. Capitol Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Betty McCollum Chairwoman Interior and Environment Appropriations Subcommittee 2007 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Chairwoman Lowey and Chairwoman McCollum, We write to urge your continued support for the humane and sustainable management of wild horses and burros on our public lands. To that end, we request dedicated funding in any final spending package for the implementation of humane, proven and reversible fertility control, namely the porcine zona pellucida (PZP) immunocontraceptive vaccine by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). We are pleased this amendment to support this effort was adopted by voice vote in the House of Representatives as part of its Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Interior and Environment Appropriations bill. This bipartisan amendment, cosponsored by Representatives Dina Titus, Joe Neguse, Brian Fitzpatrick, David Schweikert, Jan Schakowsky, David Price, Peter King, Ben McAdams, John Katko, Raul Grijalva and Deb Haaland, reflects a strong desire among our House colleagues to see that PZP is implemented. We appreciate the Appropriations Committee’s effort to support the BLM’s horse and burro program in FY20 by providing more than $21 million in additional funding over previously enacted levels. We also appreciate the Committee’s efforts to promote agency accountability, requiring that the BLM submit a report to Congress detailing past expenditures and accounting for future program planning and needs. -

AZ Congressman Ruben Gallego Adds Amendment to FAA Appropriations Bill
COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE NEWS June 4, 2015 AZ Congressman Ruben Gallego Adds Amendment to FAA Appropriations Bill A big step was taken today in putting a halt to regional airspace redesign that could negatively impact communities. The FAA moved flight paths in and out of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in September 2014 without notification or input from community members affected by the changes. The FAA is now beginning its even larger, Metroplex regional airspace redesign process. Today an amendment was added to the Federal Transportation, Housing and Urban Development appropriations bill. This amendment, which could put a halt to the Phoenix Metroplex regional airspace redesign, was passed today by the US House of Representatives. US Representative Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), who sponsored the amendment, said today on the House floor, “This amendment is very straightforward. It would just simply ensure the FAA does not proceed with the redesign of the regional airspace around Sky Harbor Airport until these issues [noise impacts from the 2014 flight path changes] are resolved in the local neighborhoods.” US Representative David Schweikert (R-AZ) backed Congressman Gallego’s amendment. “This is our opportunity to at least get our voices heard,” said Schweikert. “There are well established corridors where you don’t have the effects on the neighborhoods and we can still be moving to the Next Gen, if I could find someone at the FAA who would actually listen to our concerns.” After pleading with the FAA for eight months to mitigate noise concerns in the community resulting from the September 2014 flight path changes, Phoenix filed a lawsuit on June 1. -

June15, 2020 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Majority Leader Speaker U.S. Senate U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20510 Washington, D.C. 20515 The Honorable Charles Schumer The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Minority Leader Minority Leader U.S. Senate U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20510 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Leader McConnell, Leader Schumer, and Leader McCarthy: Thank you for your ongoing leadership in the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak and the ongoing economic downturn. With as many as 400,000 Arizonans out of work, we ask that future relief legislation considered by Congress support growth-oriented industries that have the potential to create good manufacturing, engineering, construction, and business jobs for the long term. In Arizona, the solar energy industry has the potential to create and sustain thousands of highly paid jobs for the duration of the pandemic and after. Therefore, we request that any future coronavirus relief legislation considered by Congress support Arizona’s solar energy industry. Arizona ranks third in the nation for total amount of solar capacity installed, and the solar industry supports more than 7,700 jobs in Arizona. Our state is home to 473 solar companies, which have invested more than $12.4 billion in Arizona’s economy. Prior to the coronavirus outbreak, 2020 was projected to be yet another year of record-breaking growth for solar jobs in Arizona, and Arizona’s leaders have recognized on a bipartisan basis the solar industry’s potential for creating thousands more jobs and billions more in investments for our state’s economy. -

Rare Disease Congressional Caucus
Join the Rare Disease Congressional Caucus The bipartisan and bicameral Rare Disease Congressional Caucus is led by Representatives G. K. Butterfield (D-NC) and Gus Bilirakis (R-FL), and Senators Roger Wicker (R-MS) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) to promote awareness of rare disease issues. Background: There are over 7,000 rare disorders that together affect more than 30 million Americans and their families. Rare or orphan diseases are defined as diseases affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. Many rare diseases are considered ultra-rare; some affect fewer than 100 people. Rare diseases include rare cancers, tropical or neglected diseases, genetic diseases and many pediatric diseases including cancers. Many of these diseases are life-threatening and have no treatment options. The Orphan Drug Act was enacted in 1983 to incentivize pharmaceutical companies to develop therapies for diseases that have relatively small patient populations. Despite the success of the Orphan Drug Act, 93% of rare diseases still do not have a treatment approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The science exists for many of these diseases to be treated; however, treatments may never be developed because of roadblocks in the development process, such as a lack of investment and a challenging regulatory environment. Additionally, while relatively few treatments have been approved, patients struggle with health insurance reimbursement and other coverage barriers that prohibit access to potentially lifesaving treatments. Solution: The Rare Disease Congressional Caucus helps bring public and Congressional awareness to the unique needs of the rare disease community (including patients, physicians, scientists, and industry), and creates opportunities to address barriers to the development of and access to life-altering treatments. -

Arizona Mayors' Letter of Support
July 13th, 2021 The Honorable Kyrsten Sinema The Honorable Mark Kelly United States Senate United States Senate The Honorable Tom O’Halleran The Honorable Ann Kirkpatrick United State Congress United States Congress The Honorable Raúl M. Grijalva The Honorable Paul Gosar United States Congress United States Congress The Honorable Andy Biggs The Honorable David Schweikert United States Congress United States Congress The Honorable Ruben Gallego The Honorable Debbie Lesko United States Congress United States Congress The Honorable Greg Stanton United States Congress Dear Members of the Arizona Congressional Delegation: As Mayors of cities and towns located along the potential Tucson-Phoenix-West Valley Amtrak route, we enthusiastically support Amtrak’s vision to bring passenger rail service to our communities. Frequent and reliable passenger rail service will expand economic opportunities and provide important regional connections between our cities and towns. We further support Amtrak’s reauthorization proposal to create a Corridor Development Program, which will help advance Amtrak’s planning, development and implementation of new corridor routes and improvements to existing routes. By funding this program through Amtrak’s National Network grant, Amtrak can make the initial capital investments necessary to get these new routes up and running. The grant will also cover the operating costs for the first several years, offering new services the ability to grow ridership and generate revenue. Amtrak has made clear its commitment to working in a collaborative manner with state and local partners to grow the national rail network, and we look forward to this partnership. In addition to Amtrak’s National Network grant, we also support increased funding for USDOT competitive grants, which can also support more passenger rail. -
Congress of the United States Washington D.C
Congress of the United States Washington D.C. 20515 April 29, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker of the House Minority Leader United States House of Representatives United States House of Representatives H-232, U.S. Capitol H-204, U.S. Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader McCarthy: As Congress continues to work on economic relief legislation in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we ask that you address the challenges faced by the U.S. scientific research workforce during this crisis. While COVID-19 related-research is now in overdrive, most other research has been slowed down or stopped due to pandemic-induced closures of campuses and laboratories. We are deeply concerned that the people who comprise the research workforce – graduate students, postdocs, principal investigators, and technical support staff – are at risk. While Federal rules have allowed researchers to continue to receive their salaries from federal grant funding, their work has been stopped due to shuttered laboratories and facilities and many researchers are currently unable to make progress on their grants. Additionally, researchers will need supplemental funding to support an additional four months’ salary, as many campuses will remain shuttered until the fall, at the earliest. Many core research facilities – typically funded by user fees – sit idle. Still, others have incurred significant costs for shutting down their labs, donating the personal protective equipment (PPE) to frontline health care workers, and cancelling planned experiments. Congress must act to preserve our current scientific workforce and ensure that the U.S. -
