WASHINGTON D.C. â When the 117th Congress convened in January, just 91 of 535 members were veterans, five fewer than last Congress and the lowest since the early part of last century.
âThat has part to do with fewer Americans serving in the military and serving, frankly, in other ways. But it also is a factor of the costs to run for office, which are just incredibly high right now,â With Honor co-founder and CEO Rye Barcott told FOX 17.
Manchin, Sinema Announce Support for Jan. 6 Commission
Two moderate Democratic senators on Tuesday announced their support for a congressionally-appointed commission to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.
Calling the events of that day “horrific,” Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) said that a bipartisan commission to probe what happened “is a critical step to ensuring our nation never has to endure an attack at the hands of our countrymen again.”
“We implore our Senate Republican colleagues to work with us to find a path forward on a commission to examine the events of January 6th,” they added.
The House of Representatives on May 19 approved a bill that would create such a commission. The 10-member body, appointed by Democratic and Republican congressional leaders, would be granted subpoena power if the bill passes the Senate and is signed by President Joe Biden, who supports the legislation.
