Big thanks to Chairman Adam Smith, Ranking Member Mac Thornberry, Congresswoman Liz Cheney and other leaders for working together to do what is right for our national security and our military men and women. https://t.co/6Ko6ymTaZQ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

For months we have seen frustrating partisan bills coming out of Speaker Pelosi with little to zero Republican input & prohibiting amendments. Today, we have some good news. The NDAA was voted out of the House Armed Services Committee with a unanimous vote of 56 to 0. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Good meeting with Interior Secretary Bernhardt and Louisiana’s delegation members to discuss more aggressive action needed to protect the future of offshore energy in Louisiana. https://t.co/aBJLbP18sy — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

We’ve got to come up with solutions as PPP comes to a close and unemployment benefits end. The bills done so far have bought us time, but we need to now focus on long term recovery. We are going to have to tailor future relief to present circumstances to help our economy recover. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Great news - this loan to @DemcoLouisiana is the third largest of its kind in the US & the only one granted in Louisiana. 11,368 residents in St. Helena, Livingston, West Feliciana, East Feliciana, East Baton Rouge, Tangipahoa, and Ascension parishes will benefit. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

We will be working with Cong. Richmond, Scalise, Abraham, Higgins, and Johnson to fix this injustice. (7/7) #GAOA #LWCF #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Third, the bill funds additional property acquisition when the government has a backlog of over $10 billion in maintenance needs on existing properties. This bill is a failure and it should not have passed the Senate. (6/7) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Second, the bill is supposed to be addressing “conservation” yet it fails one of the nation’s most important conservation crisis — the loss of coastal Louisiana, our communities & ecosystem. (5/7) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

The bill takes money we generate from offshore energy in Louisiana and gives it to California and other western states. So, first, many of these states that will be the largest beneficiaries of our money oppose the very energy production they will profit from — hypocrisy. (4/7) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

These bill advocates better be thinking up the excuses they will give to the families of hurricane victims in Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Louisiana. Let’s call the bill what it is - theft & awful policy. The irony is rich here: (3/7) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

This activist-led, thinly veiled money laundering scheme is textbook doublespeak that will actually accelerate the destruction of four million acres of America’s Mississippi River Delta coastal wetlands. (2/7) https://t.co/4xDmzpVYSr — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

The #GreatAmericanOutdoorsAct. The fact that the Senate is prioritizing an enviro-bailout right now – amidst record unemployment, a pandemic and national civil unrest – is fascinating. (1/ 7) https://t.co/o1NayQSPgp — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

As a conferee, I helped finalize negotiations and secure several items on the FAST Act, which included many provisions designed to address Louisiana’s traffic problems & substantial increases in federal highway funding for LA. (5/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

The next bill will amend the expiring legislation, Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, which passed in December 2015. I co-authored and was a member of the conference that oversaw the process of the five-year highway funding bill. (4/5) https://t.co/EMMBbEpI8F — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

This is major legislation for Louisiana as the bipartisan highway & infrastructure funding bill previously provided funding to projects such as LA Highway 1, Pecue Lane, and Washington St. Exit grants. (3/5) https://t.co/h8n27soKVU — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

It would authorize federal aid for highways & transit programs as existing infrastructure authorization expires on September. 30, 2020. The full press release and more information can be found here: (2/5) https://t.co/Yta0jgpwFI — PolitiTweet.org

The timing of this policy, and the swift action of FEMA, USDA, local & state leaders are critical to addressing the food emergency in Louisiana communities. Read more about the original announcement here: https://t.co/HhjC3ugdFW — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

This policy resulted from lessons learned, & reforms made, after the 2016 Flood in collaboration with @brfoodbank CEO Mike Manning & Feeding Louisiana ED Korey Patty. Who would've guessed that a simple LA reform would have such an impact on all Americans at this critical time. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

I sent a letter to Gov. Edwards & FEMA Adm. Gaynor highlighting the existing authority under the Stafford Act, which was activated by the POTUS disaster declaration, that allows Louisiana, USDA & FEMA to expeditiously intervene in the urgent matter. https://t.co/HhjC3ugdFW — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

In April, we highlighted how this opportunity will allow organizations such as @brfoodbank the flexibility to either acquire food for hunger to distribute or to provide financial resources for food banks to acquire and distribute food. https://t.co/au6Wqtq8J8 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Thread: This is great news. In 2018, we passed legislation to specifically create the authority for FEMA, states and parishes to collaborate with food banks. FEMA had issued the guidance based on legislation I passed and requested. — PolitiTweet.org

I went by the West Hog Branch today to see the ongoing drainage efforts. Take a look at the video to see how things are going. https://t.co/nmVpv6ZYJN — PolitiTweet.org

Great news - a $2.1 million federal grant was awarded today to @FletcherCollege to support the construction of a new workforce training facility – and 500 new jobs – in Schriever. https://t.co/nbgLkxhfAv — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

LA Highway 1 is receiving a $135 million grant to construct approximately 8.3 miles of elevated highway from Leeville Bridge to Golden Meadow. I want to thank POTUS, Sec. Chao & Rep. Scalise for all of their great efforts. https://t.co/iAw253fA25 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Stopped by to inspect the Comite Diversion Canal as clearing & grubbing is nearly complete between Zachary & Baker west of McHugh Rd. Looking forward to construction this summer & fall on canal excavation, & bridge construction on US 61, LA 19, LA 964, McHugh Rd & LA 67. https://t.co/RZyKMahCGe — PolitiTweet.org
