Employing America's Heroes
Earlier this month, I participated in the Volunteers of America's (VOA) panel discussion on veterans' employment alongside other regional veterans' advocates in Cincinnati. Our discussion touched on ways employers can hire and retain veterans, how veterans can better market their skills to employers, how we can help veterans involved in the criminal justice system, and more.

As Chairman of the House VA Committee's Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity, I found this discussion very informative. I hope we can translate these ideas into action!

Visiting with Students

It was great catching up with students from St. Xavier High School, St. Thomas More School, St. Bernadette School, and Huntington High School over the past couple weeks. I always enjoy opportunities to meet and talk with young Ohioans across the Second District!

If you're a student and want me to visit with your class (either at home or in Washington, D.C.), tweet me @RepBradWenstrup.
 

Innovation in Medicine
Last week, I joined fellow doctors and other health care professionals at a summit on biologics and biosimilars, a fascinating development in the world of medicine that could increase access to treatment and reduce healthcare costs for patients. In my remarks, I touched on the important roles doctors, Congress, and the FDA will play in bringing biologics to the market while ensuring patient safety.

Behind-the Scenes: Restoring the Capitol Dome
If you've visited Washington, D.C. recently, you probably saw all the scaffolding around the Capitol Dome. For the last two years, the Dome has been undergoing some repairs for cracks and deficiencies caused by age and weather. But now, the scaffolding is finally coming down!  

Watch the video above for a behind-the-scenes look at the restoration project with Speaker Paul Ryan.
