The Biden Administration pushed costly fuel economy mandates that limited Americans’ choices. President Trump is reversing course and giving Americans the freedom to choose the cars and trucks that work for them. Promises made. Promises kept. https://t.co/P4lWSalDIb

The Supreme Court sided with election integrity. States can check voter rolls against federal records to keep noncitizens off the rolls. The House already passed the SAVE America Act. Senate needs to finish the job. https://t.co/eamafxOK01

States have “mistakenly” added more than 30,000 non-citizens to America’s voter rolls. Only American citizens should be voting in our elections. https://t.co/NOIGJnfCUW

Our air traffic controllers deserve the best modern technology available. Recent equipment outages only underscore the need to modernize our nation’s air traffic control system.

WASHINGTON, D.C. —Today, Congressman Troy E. Nehls (R-TX-22) proudly voted "YES" on the bipartisan Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2026, which passed the U.S. House of Representatives by a vote of 415-9. "I am proud that the House passed the bipartisan Water Resources Development Act of 2026, which strengthens our nation’s water infrastructure, supports economic growth, and equips the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build and maintain critical projects across the country," said Congressman Nehls. "This legislation delivers for Texas by supporting continued growth along the Matagorda Ship Channel and renewing and expanding project authorities in Brazoria, Fort Bend, and Galveston Counties. As Texas continues to experience rapid population and economic growth, these investments will help ensure our ports and water infrastructure can keep pace while keeping Texas at the forefront of our nation’s economy." The House-passed WRDA of 2026 contains several provisions championed by Congressman Nehls that directly benefit Texas and communities across TX-22:

WASHINGTON, D.C. —Today, Congressman Troy E. Nehls (R-TX-22) announced that his bill, H.R. 7553, the Aviation Innovation and Global Competitiveness Act, advanced through the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. "I am proud the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee passed my bipartisan legislation to strengthen American leadership in Advanced Air Mobility (AAM)," said Congressman Nehls. "For far too long, outdated regulations and burdensome certification processes have held back American AAM innovation while allowing foreign adversaries like China to gain ground. This legislation cuts through unnecessary red tape while maintaining the highest safety standards and will ensure the United States is the global leader in AAM and aviation." This bill would enhance transparency, predictability, and accountability in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) type certification process for AAM aircraft, helping American companies succeed and cementing the United States' role as the global leader in aviation. Additionally, this bicameral, bipartisan legislation would support FAA staffing capacity and prevent gridlock in the certification process for AAM aircraft by requiring more clarity and transparency for industry applicants. The current FAA type certification process is a rigorous, multi-year evaluation that approves a new aircraft design and ensures it complies with airworthiness, noise, and safety standards. Amended type certifications typically take 3 to 5 years to complete. In contrast, certifying a new aircraft type, such as AAM aircraft, can take 5 to 9 years, with little transparency on where it is in the process.

The House T&I Committee advanced my Aviation Innovation and Global Competitiveness Act! My bill requires clear, published timelines for major certification timelines at the FAA so applicants know where they stand, while maintaining high standards on safety. We’re cutting red tape and paving the way for Advanced Air Mobility.

The U.S. House just PASSED my bipartisan legislation to honor our nation’s brave law enforcement officers and raise public awareness of their service. God bless our men and women in blue! https://t.co/w0oSsERict

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, Congressman Troy E. Nehls (R-TX-22) announced that his bill, H.R. 309, the National Law Enforcement Officers Remembrance, Support, and Community Outreach Act, passed the U.S. House of Representatives by a voice vote. "I am proud that the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed my bipartisan legislation to honor our brave law enforcement officers and raise public awareness of their service," said Congressman Nehls. "As a former law enforcement officer and Texas sheriff, I know firsthand the sacrifices our men and women in blue make, often without receiving the recognition and gratitude they deserve. Our law enforcement officers risk their lives every day to keep our communities safe, and I urge the Senate to swiftly pass this legislation." "America’s law enforcement officers put their lives on the line each day with courage, resolve and an unwavering commitment to their communities," said House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Bruce Westerman. "H.R. 309 supports the National Law Enforcement Museum’s public education, community outreach, and officer wellness initiatives, helping more Americans understand the demands of this noble profession. Rep. Nehls brings firsthand experience to this effort, and I commend his continued leadership on behalf of our nation’s law enforcement officers." This bipartisan legislation seeks to establish a formal program within the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) that will enhance community outreach, public education, and officer safety and wellness initiatives at the National Law Enforcement Museum. The program will offer grants to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF). Its goals include honoring law enforcement officers, collecting data on officer fatalities and injuries, increasing public understanding and support for law enforcement, improving officer safety and wellness, and strengthening the bond between law enforcement and the communities they serve.

Happy National Truck Driver Appreciation Week! Truckers are the backbone of our nation. They work day in and day out, putting in the long hours and covering the miles that keep America moving. I’m proud to stand with America’s truck drivers and fight for them in Congress. https://t.co/nMkxgjxGR3
