    I & three other Members led 148 of our colleagues in asking Paul Ryan why he fired Father Conroy. There was no good reason to force him out. Religious bias played a role. I'm very happy Father Conroy has decided to serve the remainder of his term. Ryan should let him stay.

    JUST IN: House chaplain rescinds resignation. has obtained the letter Father Pat Conroy sent to Speaker Ryan today: "I wish to serve the remainder of my term as House Chaplain, unless terminated 'for cause.'"

    Today, three colleagues and I led 148 Members of Congress in sending a letter to Speaker Ryan asking why he fired Father Conroy, the Chaplain of the House. Ryan says because some Republican Members asked him to. Religious bias.

    I am pleased that EPA recognizes the importance of the Breton’s Cleaners Brownfield project and will be providing a $200K grant to clean up the site. Somersworth has already committed resources to revitalize the riverfront, & EPA’s recognition of those efforts is well deserved.
