Last night, FMC hosted a virtual panel on the upcoming Texas Senate Race for Sumners Foundation scholars. This race is one of the closest and most expensive in state history, and we thank @RepJulieJohnson, the Hon. Van Taylor, and @EllyDearman for joining us to dive into it!
We’re thrilled to be traveling with our first Former Member delegation to Japan! Thank you to @JapanFoundation for making this trip possible and hosting us for an opening conversation to kick off our visit. We’re excited to spend the week discussing the upcoming U.S. midterms!
This weekend FMC President-Elect @DennisRossSEU spoke to college students at @uptousnews Leadership Workshop in DC about Gen Z involvement in politics & advocacy organizing, as part of our ongoing partnership with @pgpfoundation focused on national debt & fiscal responsibility
FMC grieves the passing of Former Member James Nelligan (R-PA, 1981-1983). A veteran who served in Japan following WWII, Nelligan remained devoted to public service throughout his life and held multiple positions in state and federal agencies. Our hearts go out to his loved ones.
FMC was thrilled to return to Dallas for our annual Sumners Foundation Policy Weekend! We’re grateful to the Former Members who joined us to speak with over 50 undergrad & law students from across TX and OK about politics & elections – we’re already looking forward to next year!
FMC mourns the loss of Former Member Pat Saiki (R-HI, 1987-1991). Saiki was a trailblazer who dedicated her life to public service: as a teacher, as a State Representative and State Senator, & as head of the US Small Business Administration. Our thoughts are with her loved ones.
We were grateful to be joined by members of DC’s diplomatic and business communities to listen to @celindalake, @WhitAyres, @SalvantoCBS, & Leonard Steinhorn share their insights into polls and voter trends ahead of the midterms! Proud to facilitate timely discussions like this.
FMC was honored to host our 11th annual Memorial Service in recognition of the 36 Members of Congress who passed away in the last year. This event is one of our most cherished, and we’re grateful for everyone who joined us to remember the lives and legacies of these individuals.
A special thanks to our wonderful speakers from the service for their impactful words: @SpeakerJohnson, @SpeakerPelosi, @RepHaridopolos, @DonnaFEdwards, @DennisRossSEU, Hon. Bart Gordon, & @CapitolHistory's Don Carlson. Click to watch the full service: bit.ly/4hhUg1e

I was thrilled to join the Association for Former Members of Congress alongside Congressman Gary Palmer for a conversation on energy security and resilience. As members of the Energy and Commerce Committee, we came together to talk about how we build a stronger, more resilient energy future for our country.
I'm excited to continue important bipartisan conversations like this one, and to keep working to help ensure our energy system works for the American people.
