WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Reps. Mike Carey (R-OH-15), a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, alongside Reps. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA-01), Claudia Tenney (R-NY-24), Salud Carbajal (D-CA-24), Lou Correa (D-CA-46), Jim Costa (D-CA-21), Ashley Hinson (R-IA-02), Dusty Johnson (R-SD-AL), Mike Kelly (R-PA-16), Darin LaHood (R-IL-16), Tracey Mann (R-KS-01), Andrew Garbarino (R-NY-02), Mike Bost (R-IL-12), Brad Finstad (R-MN-01), and Randy Feenstra (R-IA-04) introduced bipartisan legislation that will reinstate the $1 per gallon Biodiesel Tax Credit to support our farmers in the biofuels sector and help lower diesel prices.
The Strengthening Economic and Energy Development (SEED) Act would extend the Section 40A biodiesel tax credit through 2029, restoring a successful energy policy that promotes the production of biofuels, supports America’s long-term energy independence, and helps keep the cost of diesel low.
“Reinstating the Biodiesel Tax Credit allows us to tap into a policy solution that we know will serve as an economic engine by boosting domestic energy production and lowering costs for American families,” said Rep. Carey. “Strengthening our supply of biodiesel and renewable diesel will have a ripple effect across the American economy, supporting farmers who grow crops used in renewable fuels and alleviating cost pressures on fuel and consumer goods.”
“With these tax credits already expired, producers are facing uncertainty at a time when they should be focused on growing and investing,” said Rep. Miller-Meeks. “The SEED Act restores these incentives and provides the certainty our farmers and producers need. By extending these tax credits, we are supporting American agriculture, strengthening rural communities, and advancing an all-of-the-above energy strategy that keeps costs down and reduces reliance on foreign energy.”
“New York's farmers, truckers, and small businesses deserve relief from the energy costs that are eating into their margins,” said Congresswoman Tenney. “The SEED Act restores a proven incentive that puts American-grown crops to work powering our economy, supports job growth across NY-24, and helps bring down families’ costs at the pump.”
The SEED Act represents a significant opportunity to lower energy prices for American consumers while boosting domestic energy production, ultimately reducing the nation’s reliance on foreign energy.
Biodiesel and renewable diesel are advanced biofuels that are generally produced from feedstocks such as soybean oil, recycled cooking oil, or other animal fats. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines the two fuels as renewable fuels that emit at least 50 percent less lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions than fossil fuel alternatives. In many cases, biodiesel and renewable diesel reduce emissions by more than 70 percent.
In Ohio alone, biodiesel production supports over 1,500 jobs and contributes more than $806 million in economic activity. There are two biodiesel refineries in operation statewide, both of which use Ohio-grown soybeans in their production process.
The bill has earned support from the Association of American Railroads (AAR), American Trucking Associations (ATA); Energy Marketers of America (EMA); National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS); National Energy & Fuels Institute (NEFI); NATSO, Representing America’s Travel Centers and Truck Stops; SIGMA: America’s Leading Fuel Marketers, Sustainable Advanced Biofuel Refiners and Truckload Carriers Association (TCA).

Carey Introduces Tax Clarity for Mining and Staking Act
Position: Rep. Carey supports the Tax Clarity for Mining and Staking Act, which would treat newly minted digital assets from mining as ordinary income with an election to treat them like self-created property, and allow grantor trusts holding digital assets to receive staking rewards without jeopardizing their tax status.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – This week, House Ways and Means member, U.S. Rep. Mike Carey (R-OH-15), introduced the Tax Clarity for Mining and Staking Act to ensure innovation in the digital assets sector remains in the United States, individual taxpayers’ mining and staking rewards are taxed fairly, and investors in digital assets can put their assets to work on the blockchain.
“American taxpayers currently face a digital asset tax landscape that is burdensome to comply with and difficult to administer,” said Rep. Carey. “The current tax treatment of mining and staking rewards fails to accurately reflect the underlying technological and economic realities of mining and staking and diverges from foundational principles of tax law. The Tax Clarity for Mining and Staking Act will help support American innovation in digital assets and ensure that miners and stakers in the United States are treated fairly.”
“Mining and staking are integral parts of the digital asset economy, but current tax law creates confusion and needless risk for those who are rightly compensated for ensuring the marketplace can function,” said Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (MO-08). “Inconsistent rules also jeopardize the tax status of certain financial planning tools like grantor trusts that hold digital assets. The Tax Clarity for Mining and Staking Act will establish transparent rules for those engaged in mining and staking and provide appropriate and fair flexibility for individuals to meet their tax obligations. I commend Representative Carey for standing up for taxpayers and providing greater clarity while helping maintain a robust digital asset economy in the United States.”
The Tax Clarity for Mining and Staking Act confirms that the acquisition of newly minted digital assets is ordinary income but allows taxpayers to elect to treat newly minted digital assets in a manner similar to self-created property. Consistent with IRS guidance, the bill also allows grantor trusts that hold digital assets to receive staking rewards without jeopardizing their tax status. Lastly, the bill provides clarity for taxpayers who engage in mining and staking of digital assets and helps maintain America’s leadership in the digital asset economy.

Carey, Panetta Introduce the Affordable Housing Credit Carryback Act
Position: The release supports H.R. 9012, the Affordable Housing Credit Carryback Act, which would extend the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit carryback period from one year to five years to increase investment in affordable housing.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Last week, U.S. Reps. Mike Carey (R-OH-15) and Jimmy Panetta (D-CA-19) introduced H.R. 9012, the Affordable Housing Credit Carryback Act to strengthen the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC). This legislation will change the LIHTC carryback period from one year to five years, which will increase the uptake of these important credits and spur more investment in affordable housing production.
“Affordable housing projects depend on stable investment, but the current one-year carryback limit puts the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit at a disadvantage compared to other credits in the tax code,” said Rep. Carey. “Expanding the LIHTC carryback period to five years will provide greater certainty for investors, strengthen the housing credit market, and help support the development of more affordable housing across the country. I want to thank Congressman Panetta for co-leading this legislation that recognizes the importance of keeping affordable housing projects moving forward for working families.”
“The lack of affordable housing continues to be one of the biggest issues for those who want to attain a cornerstone of the American Dream,” said Rep. Panetta. “Although there is no silver bullet to solve our housing crisis, Congress can play its part by adjusting the tax code to enhance opportunities under the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit. Our bipartisan legislation would do exactly that by simply extending the carryback limit on LIHTC from one year to five years, which would increase stable financing, investor certainty, and flexibility around LIHTC housing projects. Despite the divisive politics coming out of Washington these days, Rep. Carey and I are ensuring that Congress continues to do its job with commonsense bipartisan solutions that can help increase affordable housing and ensure that hardworking Americans can fulfill their dreams.”
“The Affordable Housing Tax Credit Coalition strongly supports this effort to increase investment in the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, our nation’s primary tool for financing affordable housing,” said Affordable Housing Tax Credit Coalition CEO Emily Cadik. “Increasing the carryback period for the Housing Credit will provide investors with the flexibility to more fully leverage the recent historic expansion of the program. We applaud Congressmen Carey and Panetta for their leadership on addressing our nation’s affordability crisis.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Reps. Mike Carey (R-OH-15) and Brendan F. Boyle (D-PA-2) introduced the No Wasted Space Act. This legislation will help establish a commission to study potential uses of the Arts and Industries Building on the National Mall. The building currently serves as a temporary space used for limited events, concerts, and meetings.
“Historic buildings in Washington, D.C. should not sit vacant when there is potential for them to serve the public once again,” said Rep. Carey. “As the second-oldest Smithsonian building, the Arts and Industries Building has long been a part of our National Mall, and it deserves to be utilized to its full potential in the years ahead. I look forward to taking a step towards preserving the building’s historic character while creating new opportunities for public engagement and education.”
“150 years ago, Congress dedicated the proceeds of the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition, America’s first World’s Fair, to help build a national museum in Washington, D.C.,” said Rep. Boyle. “Today, that building, the Arts and Industries Building, sits underused and neglected. As we prepare to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, we are taking action to restore this historic building and put it to use for the benefit of every American.”

Carey Leads 71 Lawmakers in Letter to Treasury, USTR on Curbing Import of Dangerous Chinese Vapes
Position: The lawmakers urge the Trump administration to include provisions in trade negotiations with China requiring the Chinese government to curb exports of illegal e-cigarettes to the United States, citing national security and public health concerns including smuggling near military bases and schools.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Mike Carey (R-Ohio-15) led a group of 71 House lawmakers in a letter to U.S. Department of Treasury (Treasury) Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Ambassador Jamieson Greer urging them to combat the flow of illicit Chinese e-cigarettes and vapes from flooding into American markets without approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The lawmakers asked the Trump administration to consider the national security and public health threats these vapes pose in any future trade negotiations with the Chinese government. This letter was first reported by The Washington Reporter.
“These [Chinese vapes] are a threat to national security. The Department of Justice has reported that unauthorized vapes are frequently smuggled from China and sold near schools and military bases, putting minors and service members at risk. The Drug Enforcement Administration has investigated vape shops in proximity to military installations and found that many are owned or operated by foreign nationals suspected of deliberately targeting military personnel,” the lawmakers wrote.
Full text of the letter can be found here or below:
Dear Secretary Bessent and Ambassador Greer:
As trade discussions with the People’s Republic of China (PRC) advance, it is critical that the United States Trade Representative (USTR) and the Department of the Treasury confront the ongoing exploitation of our trade system. Any new trade agreement with China should require the Chinese government, through its oversight of e-cigarette exports, to take decisive action to curb the influx of illegal, youth-oriented e-cigarettes that openly flout U.S. and Chinese law.
The Administration has made clear that stopping the flow of dangerous and plainly illegal Chinese e-cigarettes is a national priority. We commend the important work of U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers, who continue to intercept illicit, often misdeclared, shipments. Despite these efforts, Chinese e-cigarette exports to the United States continued to rise during the final quarter of 2025, surpassing $10 billion in that year.
These devices are a threat to national security. The Department of Justice has reported that unauthorized vapes are frequently smuggled from China and sold near schools and military bases, putting minors and service members at risk. The Drug Enforcement Administration has investigated vape shops in proximity to military installations and found that many are owned or operated by foreign nationals suspected of deliberately targeting military personnel. One joint operation led to 20 arrests, including three Chinese nationals.
The emergence of Chinese “smart vapes”—which connect to smartphones—poses an additional cybersecurity threat. These devices may enable unauthorized access to personal data, cameras, microphones, geolocations, and networks. If used by military personnel, sensitive information could flow directly to the Chinese Communist Party under China’s 2017 National Intelligence Law, which requires companies to cooperate with state intelligence services.
Given the threat these devices pose, the U.S. government should aggressively counter the source of these products. It is far more efficient to prevent these products from entering the United States from China than it is to intercept such products once they have entered the U.S. domestic supply chain. Chinese law bans manufacturers from shipping e-cigarettes to a country where those products are illegal.8 Although the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration (STMA) exerts extensive control over the e-cigarette- industry in China, including the export of such products, the STMA has allowed massive quantities of illegal e-cigarettes shipments to the United States. This is not an administrative lapse; it appears to be a deliberate strategy on the part of the STMA that capitalizes on gaps in U.S. enforcement. Any forthcoming agreement with the PRC must ensure that the STMA enforces its existing rules on these illegal exports.
The need for action is urgent. Illicit Chinese e-cigarette makers and their U.S. distributors intentionally design and market products to appeal to young people—using candy flavored cartridges, toy-like designs, and packaging styled after fashion accessories. They rely on influencer marketing on youth-heavy platforms such as TikTok and Instagram. These illegal products often contain carcinogens, toxic additives, and high levels of heavy metals like lead, along with other unknown substances.
Moreover, the illicit e-cigarette- trade has become an attractive revenue stream for Mexican drug cartels. Associated Press reporting indicates that cartels have secured a dominant share of the illegal market in Mexico and are continuing to expand their operations in the United States. E-cigarette sales are illegal in Mexico, but demand for these products still exists which has likely led to the rise of cartel involvement in the sale of these devices. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (a bureau of the Department of the Treasury) has identified these products as a vehicle for trade-based money laundering schemes tied to fentanyl proceeds, and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms has similarly traced funds from illicit Chinese e-cigarette sales to foreign adversaries and cartel operations inside the United States.
For these reasons, we strongly urge the USTR to elevate this matter in ongoing trade negotiations with China and to pursue a binding commitment requiring the Chinese government to stop all e-cigarette exports that fail to comply with U.S. and Chinese law. U.S. national security and public health require nothing less.

COLUMBUS, OHIO – Yesterday, U.S. Rep. Mike Carey (R-Ohio-15) led a bipartisan, bicameral group of Ohio lawmakers in a letter to U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Secretary Sean Duffy urging him to prioritize new terminal upgrades at John Glenn Airport through the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Airport Terminal Program ATP).
“CMH was a proud recipient of $8.5 million in ATP grant funding from the agency in Fiscal Year 2025. Additional funding will provide modern jetways for the new terminal and is part of much broader investment in sustainable facility growth at the airport. As you consider applications for the ATP, we respectfully ask that you give CMH’s application full and fair consideration,” the lawmakers wrote.
Other signers of the letter include U.S. Reps. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio-03), Troy Balderson (R-Ohio-12), and David Taylor (R-Ohio-02), as well as U.S. Senators Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) and Jon Husted (R-Ohio).
Full text of the letter can be found here or below:
We write today to express our strong support for John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) in its application to the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Fiscal Year 2026 Airport Terminal Program (ATP).
Columbus is the fastest growing region in Ohio, and Central Ohio depends on CMH to provide a broad range of affordable customer choices for air travel to nearly half of the state’s counties.
Aviation has a long and storied history in Columbus, from Charles Lindbergh personally selecting the original airport site in 1929, to the achievements of Eddie Rickenbacker, the Tuskegee Airmen, and Jerrie Mock, the first woman to fly solo around the world. The namesake of the airport, John Glenn, is closely connected with aviation milestones in the community. Today, CMH has 53 nonstop destinations, including record passenger numbers, a dozen value and traditional air carriers, over 130 flights per day, and the Airport has seen a 7.1 percent year-over-year flight growth.
Columbus broke ground on its new terminal project in early 2025 to replace infrastructure dating back to 1958. The new terminal is designed for future growth, will consolidate multiple TSA checkpoints for improved efficiency, and will provide a seamless experience for families and business travelers alike.
The airport has worked closely with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to plan for this necessary growth. CMH was a proud recipient of $8.5 million in ATP grant funding from the agency in Fiscal Year 2025. Additional funding will provide modern jetways for the new terminal and is part of much broader investment in sustainable facility growth at the airport.
As you consider applications for the ATP, we respectfully ask that you give CMH’s application full and fair consideration.
