@wrightstate, @WrightPattAFB and the @usairforce have a unique relationship that has been a part of who we are as a region for generations. On November 2nd the Stars, Stripes and Flight Classic will feature the Wright State University Raiders and the Air Force Academy Falcons at the Nutter Center. Events like this bring us together and celebrate the connection between our military and civilian communities.

Today is World Mental Health Day, but it important to remember everyday that no one should have to struggle in silence. Check in on your loved ones, and if you or someone you know is in crisis call or text 988 and reach out. Find resources: https://t.co/BogsUYxPPO https://t.co/X9Rm3mG4fy

As opportunities grow within the base, so do the opportunities outside the fence. Wright-Patterson Air Force Base contributes to much more than our national defense. These investments create thousands of jobs and bring billions of dollars to our region, strengthening our community and providing opportunity.

Energy independence is critical to our economic and national security. I have long supported an all-of-the-above approach to domestic energy production. Through strengthening strategic partnerships with key allies and lifting unreasonable restrictions on energy production we can help grow both our workforce and economy.

The sky is no longer the limit in the birthplace of aviation! Wright-Patt serves as an integral part of both our local community and our national security, and continues to grow. From a new Advanced Materials Research Laboratory, a new Space Force intelligence facility, to potentially becoming the home of the nations newest service academy; the United States Space Academy. As the base grows our security is strengthened as well as our community. Learn more about my work on WPAFB: https://t.co/9V2veOH6Kw

The number of jobs at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base has nearly doubled during my time in Congress, and the base continues to grow. That growth attracts additional jobs and investment outside the fence. Wright-Patterson is the economic engine of our region and an instrumental asset to our national security.

This year marks 100 years of Kettering Health Dayton (formally Grandview Hospital) providing vital medical care to our community. Join me in congratulating them on this significant milestone. Read my full statement here: https://t.co/THUPmCLzyB https://t.co/AG0a9SwuEX

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. About 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, and early detection remains one of the strongest tools we have. I encourage you to get regular screenings and stay healthy. https://t.co/4Cbgnlvlf8

Aviation is part of who we are as a community, and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is an economic engine that continues to drive our region’s growth. As Ohio’s largest single-site employer, the base supports more than 38,000 jobs and generates an estimated $16.68 billion in annual economic impact across the region. We remain committed to building on that success and investing in the base’s continued growth. See my work on WPAFB here: https://t.co/9V2veOHEA4

We can not allow Russian aggression to succeed in Europe. Our adversaries are watching closely, and hope our resolve will diminish. Putin’s murderous war against the Ukrainian people has not broken apart the free people of the world, it has deepened our ties further. https://t.co/Kkex4B6yO4
