It was great to meet and speak with @SecRubio at a recent @HouseForeignGOP hearing. Sec. Rubio committed to establishing a regional passport office in Guam. I look forward to working more with him as we deliver for the country and Guam!
When I speak to veterans back home, they share with me the immense challenges they face when trying to access medical care. Far too often, they are forced to travel thousands of miles for basic care while the federal government fails to provide sufficient support.
This week, I introduced the TRAVEL Act, which aims to change that.
Once passed, the TRAVEL Act will empower the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to appoint traveling physicians to aid underserved communities like the Marianas and improve healthcare access for our veterans.
Thank you to @HouseVetAffairs Chair @RepBost for supporting this bill and @RepMoylan and @RepAmata for cosponsoring. This is the first step in a long journey to get our heroes the care they so rightfully deserve.

This Police Week and Peace Officer Memorial Day, we remember and honor those who gave their lives and who currently serve to keep our communities safe.
❓ @RepMoylan asks, "What makes charter schools so attractive?" @SuccessCharter's CEO testified that charters are a pathway out of multi-generational failing schools—and a great pathway to success.
Today is a wonderful day as we celebrate the election of Pope Leo XIV—the first American pope. I pray for his success, guidance, and wisdom as he assumes this immense role. May God bless him and may God bless America!
Happy National Teachers Week! Educators play a significant role in shaping our island and the minds of our future generations. Thank you to all teachers for your dedication and commitment.
WATCH: @RepMoylan testifies on how @HouseSmallBiz can support small businesses in Guam.
Small businesses in his district are in desperate need of more assistance and resources.
Today I testified in front of @HouseSmallBiz urging them to help reopen the Guam SBA office. It was a successful hearing in which my colleagues had the chance to hear about the struggles Guam and the Pacific small businesses face.
Our office has worked hard to announce new investments into our national defense capabilities in Guam. These investments made will not only strengthen our capabilities but also reaffirm our commitment to the security of our allies in the Indo-Pacific.
To ensure local veterans have access to quality care in Guam, I wrote to VA Secretary Doug Collin’s asking him to relocate the VA Regional office from Manila to Guam. We will never stop fighting for our veterans!
Today, the committee on Education and Workforce passed reform to federal higher education programs, which will result in over $330 billion in taxpayer savings within 10 years. These reforms to federal student aid programs will boost student success while safeguarding taxpayer funds.
