The loss of Representative
@BillPascrell
Jr. will be felt in the halls of Congress for years to come. He was sharp, funny, witty, kind, and I loved getting to know him as he helped coach the congressional baseball team.
My heart is with his loved ones as we mourn his passing.
It is with deep sadness that we announce that Bill Pascrell Jr., our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away this morning. As our United States Representative, Bill fought to his last breath to return to the job he cherished and to the people he loved. Bill lived
Louisville nonprofits do so much for our community—they're truly on the frontlines serving our neighbors in need.
I'll never stop stop fighting to give nonprofits the resources needed to continue working to create a more equitable & compassionate society.
This weekend, I was honored to stand with families who have lost a loved one to gun violence at the “Walk a Mile in Our Shoes" and hear their stories.
I'll keep doing everything I can to support Mothers of Murdered Sons & Daughters of KY and put an end to these tragedies.
The Ohio River needs our help.
It's the second most endangered river in our country, but it receives ZERO dollars in dedicated federal funding.

and I are working on both sides of the aisle to change that.
For decades, disinvestment in the West End was an intentional choice.
This week I got to see how One West is collaborating with the community to reclaim abandoned buildings and create spaces for families and entrepreneurs to thrive.
Feeling very energized after spending an afternoon in a room packed with people who care so deeply about the future of the Ohio River!
No one person or organization can fix our river—but together? We've got a pretty good shot.
Looking forward to building on this momentum in DC!

Team McGarvey interns are the best!
It was great having Mimi and Anish in our Louisville office this summer—they were such a huge help, and they will be missed!
89 years ago, the Social Security Act became law. Today, nearly 150,000 seniors, disabled workers, and children rely on these benefits in Louisville.
Social Security is a promise the federal government made to Americans—we won't let House Republicans go back on our word.

The best solutions come from open conversations with people who know firsthand what their communities need. I'm looking forward to bringing everything I learned in Shively back to DC!

Last week, the American Synthetic Rubber Company announced new efforts to transition to more sustainable boilers at their facility in Rubbertown.
For too long, our West End neighbors have borne the brunt of the negative effects of industry—this is a step in the right direction.
St. Joe's Picnic is always my favorite way to close out the summer.
We loved getting to see so many friends and neighbors gathered to celebrate 175 years of this beloved tradition!
Lots of iconic things are made right here in Louisville: bourbon, baseball bats, Walter White’s glasses... 😎
Yes, you read that right.
Very cool to see how the team at Kenmark Eyewear are designing eyewear that you see everywhere—from Hollywood sets to your local Costco!
Today marks 2 years of the PACT Act!
In such a short amount of time, this historic law has already helped over 1.1 million veterans and survivors and counting—that's something we can all celebrate!
Two years ago today, Ryan Corbett was wrongfully detained by the Taliban.
My thoughts are with Ryan and his family — I’m going to keep working in Congress and do everything in my power to bring Ryan home.
During
