Welcome back to the weekly Pfluger Fly-By, a roundup of events and updates to keep you informed about everything I'm doing week by week to represent you in Congress.
It was another great week representing you in Congress. I'm thrilled to update you that my legislation, the ACES Act, was signed into law by President Trump this week! In addition, I announced Service Academy Nights in Midland and Killeen, honored the life of Dr. Ed Feulner, applauded the decisions by a district court to vacate the lesser prairie-chicken from the Endangered Species List, and more.
I've included some photos and highlights from the week below. Our office stands ready to assist residents across Texas-11 who have been impacted by flooding. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you or someone you know needs assistance in our community.
Best,
ACES Act Signed into Law by President Trump
I am thrilled that President Trump signed the ACES Act into law this week. This legislation is more than just a bill—it's a lifeline and a message to every pilot who has put on the uniform to protect our skies that we will fight to protect their health in return. The ACES Act has been my top priority in Congress, and it is deeply personal to me. I introduced this bill in honor of my dear friend and former fighter pilot, Colonel Shurtleff, who recently lost his life in a second battle he never signed up to fight. We owe it to him, and every servicemember like him, to properly study the prevalence of military aviation cancer rates.
