Meghan and I had a great time attending the North Market Downtown Apron Gala this weekend, celebrating 150 years of one of Columbus’s most well-known gathering spots. It was a fun evening spent with so many people who care deeply about the future of downtown Columbus and the local businesses that make it special. Great food, great company, and a great night celebrating everything the North Market has meant to Columbus over the years.

It was great meeting with Dr. Kimryn Rathmell, CEO of The Ohio State University Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital, during her visit to Washington. We had a productive conversation about the importance of continued cancer research, expanding treatment options, and supporting patient care efforts here in Ohio. Grateful for the work being done at Ohio State to advance lifesaving research and improve outcomes for patients and families across our state.

I was pleased to speak at the Dayton Community Leader fly-in event here in Washington this week. We discussed everything from the importance of local development and national defense to current issues before Congress and recent projects we’ve helped fund through the appropriations process. Always a pleasure to spend time with folks working every day to move the Miami Valley forward.

Had a fantastic evening at the 44th Annual March of Dimes Gourmet Gala. Meghan, my senior staff, and I were proud to support an organization that works every day to improve care and health outcomes for mothers and children across the country. It was wonderful to join so many people committed to making a difference, all while celebrating great food and an even greater cause.

I was happy to join Mike Eliot this morning on 610 WVTN to talk about some of the great projects we’ve been able to secure funding for through our Community Project Funding in FY26, as well as the great projects I recently applied for in FY27 appropriations. https://t.co/pBroYLmvJu

It was a pleasure to speak at the 2026 Future of Manufacturing Summit at the Ohio Statehouse today. It was a great opportunity to talk about the work Congress is doing to support the manufacturing sector, including the benefits of the Working Families Tax Cut and efforts to strengthen domestic production, cut burdensome regulations, and make sure American companies can continue to grow and compete. Ohio continues to play an important role in the future of manufacturing, and it was honor to join the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, industry leaders, and innovators for the conversation.

We had a great conversation with the Jeffersonville Village Council about incoming federal funding to expand local infrastructure and wastewater treatment capacity. With significant growth headed to Fayette County in the months and years ahead, it was important to talk through what the future looks like for Jeffersonville and the role the village will play moving forward. I am looking forward to continuing the conversation as we prepare for future growth.

President Lincoln once said, “God Bless my mother. All that I am or ever hope to be I owe to her.” To all the mothers, and to these three very special people in my life, Happy Mother’s Day. https://t.co/AYDKIzqAkk
