  • Common Ground: Bipartisan Efforts to Locate Government Waste

    Common Ground: Bipartisan Efforts to Locate Government Waste
    Feb 13 2025
    Many federal agencies in Washington D.C. serve communities across the country — but how can government officials in D.C. know what the main issues and concerns are for Americans in these places when they work thousands of miles away from them? Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (R-IA) and Congressman Jared Golden (D-ME) discuss how their bipartisan bill, the Strategic Withdrawal of Agencies for Meaningful Placement (SWAMP) Act, is dedicated to relocating federal jobs out of Washington D.C. and closer to the communities they serve — allowing Americans to feel more connected to federal agencies. They also discuss the need to cut unnecessary spending on Capitol Hill, and how many lawmakers are willing to work across the aisle to find where this should be done.

    Common Ground: Honoring Our Fallen Heroes
    Jan 30 2025
    Many first responders who dedicate their lives to serving others often end up paying severe consequences, with firefighters having a 9% greater risk of being diagnosed with cancer and a 14% higher risk of dying from the disease than the general population. When these brave Americans are putting their lives in danger to protect others, they should feel confident their lives and families are valued. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) discuss how they're setting out to do just that through the Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act, a piece of bipartisan legislation aiming to secure additional federal funding for the families of first responders who have died or suffered permanent disability from service-related cancers.
