NEWS: Senator Blunt Rochester Celebrates the Passage of Veterans Housing Bill
“H.R. 1815, the VA Home Loan Program Reform Act, included provisions from legislation authored by Blunt Rochester and U.S. Senator Mike Rounds (R-S.D.). The included provisions would increase the amount of the partial claim benefit available to veterans, provide additional assistance in the face of major disasters, and expand flexibility for the administration of the program.”
- One Big Beautiful Bill ActJune 11, 2025
“H.R. 1, and now the Senate companion version, seeks to add trillions to the national debt to fund tax cuts to big corporations at the expense of health coverage for 16 million kids, seniors, people with disabilities, and families. Your legislation follows this same pattern by proposing big giveaways to corporations, while endangering national security, aviation safety, and weather forecasting,”

“We write today in outrage over your recent executive order entitled Exclusions from Federal Labor-Management Relations Programs, a gross overreach of the authority granted in the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (CSRA),” the senators wrote. “This order is an insult to the hardworking public servants who go to work on behalf of the American people.”

“We call on you to follow the law, cease and desist implementation of EO 14151, rescind the grant terminations, and provide information on EPA’s decision-making process concerning the grant terminations and wider closure of the Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights,” wrote Senators Blunt Rochester, Whitehouse, Sanders, Merkley, Markey, Kelly, Padilla, Schiff, and Alsobrooks.”

- Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022March 3, 2025
“Congress explicitly directed the EPA to work on environmental justice in the explanatory statement to Public Law 117-103, going so far as to direct the EPA to provide to Congress a “comprehensive briefing” on how environmental justice work will be executed by the Agency and to create a proposal of a “national program office” centered on the work.”
