Today, I joined Deputy Secretary Danly to highlight ORISE's national impact and recognize our region as a leader in energy, science, and skilled trades. Through the Appropriations Committee, I have secured key investments in the workforce and education pipelines that are fueling the economic engines of new nuclear and reindustrialization. Together, we’re building pathways to rewarding careers and ensuring a brighter future for our communities here in East TN and across America.
