Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Thank you, Alabama, for allowing me the tremendous opportunity to represent you for 36 years in the U.S. Senate and eight years in the U.S. House. Throughout my career, I’ve strived to strengthen our nation and improve our great state. It’s been an honor. I wish you all the best. https://t.co/DyA1JY2Hsm — PolitiTweet.org

Today, in my final vote in the U.S. Senate, we funded the government - providing critical funds for national security, as well as important resources for the country and for Alabama. It’s been the honor of my lifetime, #Alabama. Thank you! https://t.co/6wYHwymYoc https://t.co/MOImGm9PJs — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Pleased that Joe Ritch has been confirmed by the Senate to serve as a member of the Tennessee Valley Authority Board of Directors. Joe was previously the first Alabamian to serve as TVA Board Chair. His return to the Board will be good for TVA & great for North Alabama. @TVAnews — PolitiTweet.org

This process was far from perfect, but ultimately it allowed Republican redlines to be adhered to and because of that I will urge my colleagues to support this package. We need to do our job and fund the government. https://t.co/FVnVnVUPHS — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Further, the omnibus appropriations legislation provides a significant down payment on critical disaster assistance for millions of Americans affected by recent storms and fires, as well as continued support for the Ukrainian people fighting for their freedom and survival. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

I'm also very pleased that veterans’ health care costs will be funded as budgeted without using accounting gimmicks designed to enable more wasteful spending. And, once again, we rejected all poison pills while preserving crucial legacy riders. https://t.co/FVnVnWcqzq — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

The non-defense funding level is an increase of only 5.5%, reducing the Administration’s wasteful non-defense budget request increase by more than half. https://t.co/FVnVnVVnxq — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Since day one, I've insisted on increasing defense funding well above POTUS’s request without similar increases in wasteful liberal non-defense spending. I’m pleased that this package meets the level set by the NDAA last week, which is $76B over last year – an increase of 10%. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

After many months of ongoing negotiations, we have reached an agreement on an omnibus appropriations package to fund the government for the remainder of the current fiscal year. https://t.co/FVnVnWcqzq — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

This week, after 36 years in the Senate, I delivered my farewell speech on the Senate floor. Thank you to the people of Alabama for electing me 12 times to public office. It has been the honor of my lifetime. https://t.co/z5XmpVQWxx — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Passing the National Defense Authorization Act is a critical step in the process of providing defense funding & supporting our Armed Forces. I'm pleased to have supported this bill and look forward to advancing defense appropriations legislation next week. https://t.co/68rhNPPvFf — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you, @SenJohnThune! It has been an honor to serve with you in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Today we celebrate 203 years of the great state of #Alabama! I am grateful for this state, its people, and the opportunity it has afforded me in the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives. Happy birthday, Alabama! — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Excited that @AuburnU has received a competitive $9.3M award from @USDA_NIFA. By establishing Auburn as an Institute for Rural Partnerships, Auburn’s College of Agriculture & College of Engineering will work together to strengthen & support rural Alabama. https://t.co/et0rDHHFOI — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Thank you to @AIAspeaks for presenting me with the Wright Stuff Award. I am proud of what @JimInhofe, @SenatorLeahy, and I have been able to accomplish in the aerospace and defense industry. There is no wiser investment than that of our military. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

I'm deeply honored to have received Distinguished Public Service awards from the @SecDef, @TheJointStaff, @SecArmy, @SecNav, and @SecAFOfficial. For 36 years, I've served as an advocate for our military in the Senate. It's been the privilege of a lifetime to support this mission. https://t.co/L4xEBYejiy — PolitiTweet.org

The @City_of_Mobile today hosted a dedication ceremony that I’ll never forget. Thank you, Mobile, for the grand gesture of establishing Shelby Point in my honor. I’m truly grateful.

81 years after the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, we remember the 2,403 men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice defending our nation. The bravery and service of these American heroes will never be forgotten. #PearlHarborRemembranceDay https://t.co/UucMyrPTEc — PolitiTweet.org

#OTD in 2019, a terrorist attack at Naval Air Station Pensacola took the lives of three men, @USNavy Ensign Kaleb Watson of #Enterprise, AL, airman Cameron Walters of GA, and airman Mohammad Haitham of FL. My thoughts are with their families today as we remember their sacrifice. — PolitiTweet.org
