The citizens of East Palestine, Ohio are still suffering from the uncertainty and trauma of a chemical fire caused by a train derailment in their community. They deserve answers. They deserve to have their municipal water checked and rechecked for safety. In the past few days, multiple train derailments have caused major concerns and evacuations across the country. As vice chairman of the Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials subcommittee of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, this falls under our jurisdiction. We will demand accountability and swift action from the Department of Transportation to investigate and remedy the cause of these accidents. My wife Stephanie and I hold the families caught in these frightening and tragic circumstances in our prayers.
