WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) recently appeared on Inside West Virginia Politics to discuss various important topics, including securing the border, funding the government, the Pregnancy Center Support Act, and rural health care.

When it comes to funding the government, Congresswoman Miller expressed her desire to move away from omnibus bills and instead focus on specific bills through appropriations that are more fiscally conservative. She emphasized the need to address the national debt, stating, "We are 34 trillion, I think was the last count, in debt. Republicans are fiscally responsible and we're trying to cut back, cut back, cut back."

Regarding the issue of securing the border, Congresswoman Miller has been a vocal advocate for building a wall since 2018. She highlighted the importance of addressing illegal immigration and the associated problems such as drug trafficking. She also expressed her opposition to government shutdowns, as they hinder the ability to provide necessary resources for border agents and ensure the safety of the country.

Congresswoman Miller also discussed her recently introduced bill, the Pregnancy Center Support Act, which aims to support pregnancy centers across the country. These centers provide vital services and support to individuals facing unexpected pregnancies. The bill allows for tax deductions for donations made to these centers, providing an incentive for individuals and couples to contribute.

In addition to these topics, Congresswoman Miller touched on the issue of rural health care. She highlighted the challenges faced by individuals living in rural areas, such as the need to travel long distances for medical care. She commended the positive impact of telehealth services, which have become more widely used during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a member of the Health Subcommittee, she is actively working to address the unique healthcare needs of her state and improve access to quality care.

Congresswoman Carol Miller's appearance on Inside West Virginia Politics provided insight into her priorities and initiatives. From securing the border to funding the government, supporting pregnancy centers, and addressing rural health care, she is focused on serving her constituents and working towards the betterment of West Virginia.
