Rep. Riley M. Moore

Here is the full, two page report:

It was an honor to hear @michaeljknowles’ excellent speech at the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast this morning. On this solemnity of St. Joseph, Catholics should be proud of all the work we’ve done to make America great. From Commodore John Barry, “the Father of the U.S. Navy” to Venerable Fulton Sheen who brought the faith to millions, you can’t tell the story of America without us.

Thank you to the American Cement Association for supporting the Jumpstart Savings Act. Romans invented concrete. Hardworking and highly skilled Americans like you perfected it! Together, we will pass Jumpstart and make sure America has the workforce it needs to be stronger than ever.

America's ability to deter our enemies is dependent on our ability to revitalize our industrial base. @ssankar understands that. It was an honor to hold a fireside chat last night on his new book, "Mobilize." This is a must-read.

🚨 President Trump has released a message to honor the Feast Day of St. Joseph: "On his feast day, we honor Saint Joseph’s incredible life, we pay tribute to his countless silent sacrifices, and we vow to forge a radiant American future marked by the timeless values of faith in God, love of family, and devotion to human freedom." 🙏

Congratulations to @WVURifle’s team on winning the National Collegiate Mixed Rifle National Championship! Proud of these student-athletes for representing West Virginia with excellence, discipline, and determination. A truly historic achievement for The Mountain State!

Presidential Message on the Feast of Saint Joseph whitehouse.gov/briefings-stat…

In honor of St. Joseph’s Day, @POTUS encourages young men to “embrace faith, get married, start a family, and raise the next generation of God-fearing American citizens…we will never stop fighting for Saint Joseph’s legacy in our homes, churches, culture, and public square.”

Grateful for the opportunity to meet with Bethany College President Dr. Jamie Caridi yesterday. Proud to support this historic WV institution as we work together to expand access to in-demand programs, strengthen STEM education & labs, and leverage federal resources for our students and workforce.

The world needs more good and holy fathers in the image of St. Joseph. A blessed Solemnity of St Joseph to all!

Our national debt is a ticking time bomb. If we don't begin to defuse it - it will explode with catastrophic consequences. That is why I am proud to vote YES on @RepAndyBiggsAZ's Balanced Budget Amendment. It is a critical first step toward restoring fiscal sanity and protecting our nation's future.

My bill to facilitate a federal land swap in Harpers Ferry is a balanced, commonsense solution. By exchanging 72 acres of CBP land with historic battlefield significance for 25 acres of NPS land, we can both preserve Harpers Ferry’s rich history and expand the CBP Advanced Training Center to meet growing border patrol training demands. We must protect our nation’s history and prepare to defend our country’s future.

Thank you to my colleagues for cosponsoring: @RepMariaSalazar, @RepMackenzie, @RepDaveJoyce, @RepJoeCourtney, @RepNicole, @MikeKellyPA

Press Release: Congressman Riley M. Moore Celebrates Irish Contributions to the American Revolution with New House Resolution on St. Patrick's Day Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Riley M. Moore (R-WV) introduced a House resolution honoring the extraordinary contributions of Irish colonists to the American War for Independence, coinciding with the Irish efforts to push the British out of Boston on St. Patrick's Day. This resolution is especially important as Congress prepares to recognize America’s great heritage during our nation's 250th anniversary on July 4, 2026. The resolution recognizes that Irish immigrants and Americans of Irish descent played a significant role in securing America's freedom from 1775 to 1783. Historians estimate that up to 40 percent or more of the Continental Army consisted of Irish-born soldiers or those of Irish heritage—despite comprising only about 10 percent of the population at the time—providing vital manpower in key battles as foot soldiers, officers, and specialists. Prominent figures highlighted include Commodore John Barry, the Irish-born "Father of the American Navy," who captured the first British warship on the high seas, fought at Trenton and Princeton, and led in the war's final naval engagements. Aides to General George Washington, such as Dr. James McHenry (later the third U.S. Secretary of War) and Colonel John Fitzgerald, were Irish immigrants who served valiantly. At least eight signers of the Declaration of Independence had Irish roots or were born in Ireland, most notably Charles Carroll of Carrollton—the only Catholic signer—who helped draft Maryland’s constitution and later served as a U.S. Senator. He outlived all other signers, passing at age 95. Irish merchants and leaders, including Thomas Fitzsimons—one of two Catholic signers of the U.S. Constitution—raised funds, supplied the Army, and supported the cause politically. The shared pursuit of liberty from British rule linked American colonists and the Irish people, with the Revolution inspiring future Irish independence movements. Congressman Riley M. Moore released the following statement: “This resolution celebrates the courage, sacrifice, and indispensable role Irish Americans played in founding our nation. As we approach America's 250th birthday, it's important to recognize the profound contributions of Irish patriots to the Revolutionary War and to the continued flourishing of our republic. I’m proud to introduce this resolution on St. Patrick's Day to honor Irish Americans' contributions to the founding of our nation, recognize the enduring bond between America and Ireland, and encourage all Americans to embrace this important heritage during the Semiquincentennial commemoration,” stated Congressman Moore.

This St. Patrick’s Day, let’s follow Washington’s example and resolve to honor the contributions of Irish Americans during the Revolutionary War, recognize the profound impact of these patriots and their descendants on securing the liberty of the United States, and celebrate the shared values of freedom and self-determination that link the American and Irish experience.

☘️You can't tell the story of American independence without recounting the contributions of Irish Americans. This St. Patrick’s Day – as we celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday – we honor the courage and sacrifice of all the Irish who fought and died for our freedom. 🧵
