JACKSON, MI – U.S. Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Tipton, is hosting an open house for Jackson County high school students and recent graduates interested in applying to a military service academy.
The event runs from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, June 21 at the Commonwealth Commerce Center, 209 E. Washington Ave.
Representatives from the U.S. Military, Naval , Air Force, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine academies will be available to answer questions.
Washington, D.C. –Rep. Walberg released the following statement after voting in favor of H.R. 1797, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which passed the U.S. House:
"Every year, over 1.2 million unborn children die at the hands of abortionists, suffering excruciating pain. As a father and grandfather this sickens me. The Kermit Gosnell trial shed more light on the atrocities that go on behind closed doors, but we need to do more to prevent similar cases, and protect the lives of women, babies and the unborn," commented Rep Walberg following the vote.
Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Mich., said at a House Education and the Workforce Committee hearing this morning that the Labor Department expanded the reach of Davis-Bacon Act without public comment earlier this year.
Davis-Bacon is a law that requires contractors engaged in any federally-funded construction project to affirm that they are paying workers the prevailing local wage. Big Business dislikes the law, calling it a time-consuming and often subjective process. The law is strongly-favored by Big Labor though since it serves to remove any economic incentive to hire non-union labor.
A bill introduced in the House of Representatives could have widespread benefits to parents saving for a child's education.
The Helping Families Save for Education Act, introduced by Representatives Tim Walberg (R–MI) and Dan Kildee (D–MI) would expand the usefulness of Coverdell Education Savings Accounts (ESAs).
Washington, D.C. – Today Rep Walberg voted in favor of H.R. 2216, the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. H.R. 2216 will provide the nation's military with the funding they need to maintain military infrastructure while continuing to fund veterans' benefits and programs. The bill passed with bipartisan support by a vote of 421-4.
It's been more than three years since President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law, and it's becoming obvious that it will neither protect patients, nor make their health care more affordable, but instead will cause millions of Americans to lose access to their current health care, lead to higher premium rates and hurt job creation.
That's why I recently voted to repeal the president's law in its entirety. Until we stop this train wreck of a law, our families and small businesses will continue to suffer under it.
JACKSON, MI – Nichelle Austin was surprised to see so many companies offering job opportunities at U.S. Rep. Tim Walberg's job fair in Jackson Wednesday, May 29.
