Senator John Boozman✓

Arkansas ag producers are facing enormous challenges, but it's encouraging to discuss the shared commitment to find solutions for returning to profitability and more years in operation. I appreciated hearing @AginArk's latest projections for farm country, which reinforce the importance of getting Farm Bill 2.0 signed into law. #BuiltForFarmers #ARisAg

Today I joined @rep_stevewomack and @USDARD in Mountainburg to present $8.9 million in federal funding to help make critical upgrades to its water infrastructure. Everyone should have access to clean, safe water and it's a great example of why we need to pass #FarmBill 2.0 so more communities can get assistance enhancing their water systems.

.@UAMShealth is a great partner in bringing quality care to more Arkansans, especially in rural communities. Enjoyed seeing the first lung cancer screening van I secured a federal investment for in FY24 so we can mobilize a statewide effort to reduce our leading cause of cancer deaths.

There is something special about being an Arkansan. From neighbors helping neighbors to leaders working together to deliver results, The Natural State is full of people committed to building a brighter future. READ my latest weekly column on why I’m proud to serve Arkansas.

Lithium extraction is not just an economic opportunity in South Arkansas. It's critical for our national security. It was great to visit @StandardLithium's operation and hear about the exciting plans ahead.

Today is Arkansas Drug Take Back Day, an opportunity to help protect Natural State families and communities by safely disposing expired, unused or unwanted prescription medications. Find a convenient collection site and do your part to keep our state safe and healthy. Learn more here:

RT @SenateGOP: The Biden Administration lost over 200,000 American manufacturing jobs in its final two years, but Senate Republicans’ pro-growth agenda is fueling an American blue-collar boom. Domestic manufacturing is expanding, wages are growing, and construction paychecks are up $2,800.

I appreciated the opportunity to visit with community members and tour @UAFS's maternal and infant health program during Capital for a Day in Fort Smith. I was proud to help secure $15 million in federal funding to support a new maternal and infant health care center on campus and look forward to seeing how this investment strengthens care for mothers and babies across our region.

The bipartisan permitting bill will unlock critical infrastructure projects – from roads & bridges to energy, water systems and broadband. As a member of the EPW Committee, I commend @SenCapito for her leadership to build consensus and advance these critical reforms. #BAAJA

Great to be back in my hometown of Fort Smith yesterday for Governor @SarahHuckabee’s Capital for a Day and a visit to Rheem. Its commitment to innovation in manufacturing is an asset to this community and our state.

Arkansas’s raw materials contribute to the forest products industry, creating jobs and strengthening our state’s economy. I’m committed to supporting responsible forest management and ensuring these resources are sustained for future generations in The Natural State and across the country.

🌲This week, we recognize the people and industry that help keep renewable forest resources available for generations to come. #ForestProductsWeek 🪵👷‍♂️🌳

RT @SarahHuckabee: The progress happening in Arkansas schools is making headlines all across America. Thank you @SLOTUS for visiting and honoring the teachers making it happen.

RT @L3HarrisTech: It’ll support the @USArmy’s Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System and help deliver critical capability with greater speed and scale. Learn more:

Joined @L3HarrisTech and state leaders in Camden today to celebrate the opening of the new Arsenal of Freedom facility. South Arkansas plays a vital role in strengthening our defense industrial base and supporting our servicemembers and allies, all while creating good-paying jobs for Arkansans.

RT @SenateGOP: Democratic socialists’ Green New Deal aims to ban natural gas heating in American homes, forcing Americans to use unreliable energy sources in winter.

Last month, the Saline County Sheriff’s Office became Arkansas’s first operational Rapid DNA booking station. It was great to visit and see how this technology is helping law enforcement generate DNA profiles faster, strengthen investigations and keep our communities safe. I was proud to secure $1 million in federal funding to support this effort.

RT @SenTomCotton: Pine Bluff Arsenal plays a vital role in producing the munitions that keep Americans safe. The new access control point will ensure it can continue doing so for decades to come.

Enjoyed joining @NEMA_web leaders for their annual conference this morning. I was proud to recognize NEMA’s president and Arkansas’s own A.J. Gary for his years of dedicated service protecting Arkansans and helping communities recover from disasters.

I applaud the administration's push to promote women's health. I have strongly supported bipartisan and nonpartisan efforts to improve maternal health in Arkansas & across America, as well as ensure women veterans receive the unique care and treatment they need through the VA.

Today, @POTUS, joined by @FLOTUS, signed an executive order directing HHS to establish a new Women’s Health Division at @NIH to strengthen research, accelerate medical breakthroughs, and improve health outcomes for women and girls. The order also establishes a White House Women’s Health Task Force, co-chaired by @SecKennedy and @SusieWiles47, to coordinate federal efforts to advance women’s health at every stage of life—from childhood and adolescence to reproductive health, menopause, and healthy aging.

Great to be in Jefferson County to celebrate the groundbreaking for a new main access facility and gate at Pine Bluff Arsenal. This installation is an important part of Arkansas’s national defense contributions and supports the local economy. It’s taken years of hard work and collaboration with @SenTomCotton, @RepWesterman, and local leaders to get this project authorized and funded. The new Access Control Point will strengthen security, improve efficiency and help position the Arsenal for future growth. I’ve been proud to champion PBA with our delegation, and this progress is a great start to its next exciting chapter.
