Mrvan Amendment on American Steel Requirement for White House Construction Projects
Position: Rep. Mrvan advocates for requiring all steel and manufactured materials used in White House construction projects to be produced domestically, including materials from private donations, to support the domestic steel industry and workforce.
Washington, DC – Yesterday, Rep. Frank J. Mrvan offered an amendment to the House Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act that would have required all steel used in construction projects at the White House to be produced in the United States, regardless of whether that steel is procured through federal funds or private donations.
Congressman Mrvan’s initial language was amended to limit any effectiveness of the requirement and not approved as introduced by the House Appropriations Committee. A video of Rep. Mrvan’s remarks offering his amendment is available here, and the full proceedings of the debate can be viewed here.
Congressman Mrvan stated, “While I regret that this amendment was not ultimately approved as introduced, I will continue to seek every opportunity through the House Appropriations Committee and as Vice Chairman of the Congressional Steel Caucus to strengthen Buy America requirements and fight for our domestic workforce.”
Congressman Mrvan’s remarks offering his amendment during the Committee hearing are below:
“Northwest Indiana is the largest steel producing hub in the country. Maintaining a strong domestic steel industry and unionized workforce is vital for strengthening our economy, protecting American jobs, and defending our national security.
“Despite promises to bolster the American steel industry, the current Administration has accepted tens of millions of dollars’ worth of donated foreign steel from his expensive ballroom project. Right after the President announced this donation, the Administration also adjusted tariff policy in a way that benefits the same donor by cutting certain automotive steel tariffs in half. As Vice Chairman of the Congressional Steel Caucus, I’m fighting every day to defend American steelworkers, strengthen Buy American requirements, and prevent unfairly traded steel products from being dumped on our shores.
“To truly support domestic producers and steelworkers, government construction projects at iconic American buildings should only use American made steel, iron, and manufactured materials. Accepting donations from foreign companies sends a mixed message to the American steel producers and American steelworkers. It affects our economic strength, our steel capacity, and our national security.
“My amendment directs that all iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials used in construction projects on the White House grounds be produced in the United States. This includes materials procured through appropriated funds and received through private donations. I urge the committee to support my amendment and stand up for the domestic steel industry and American workers.”
The text of the amendment as introduced is below:
“Domestic steel procurement – The Committee directs that all iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials used in any construction, alteration, repair, or improvement project on the grounds of the White House Complex, as defined by the National Park Service and the United States Secret Service, be produced in the United States. This includes any materials procured with funds made available by this Act or provided through private donations.”

Mrvan Discussion with Energy Secretary During Appropriations Subcommittee Hearing
Position: Rep. Mrvan expressed concern about an emergency order requiring continued coal-fired generation at NIPSCO, citing its expected $100+ million cost and impact on utility ratepayers, and asked the Energy Secretary to consider reversing the order.
Washington, DC – Today, Rep. Frank J. Mrvan discussed high utility costs with Secretary of Energy Chris Wright during a House Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development hearing.
Specifically, Congressman Mrvan pressed Secretary Wright about the emergency order to require NIPSCO to keep utilizing coal-fired electric generation past its retirement date that is expected to cost more than $100 million and further increase utility costs for ratepayers. Congressman Mrvan asked Secretary Wright to consider reversing the order and Secretary Wright indicated that he would look into this issue and the impact on ratepayers.

Issues:Appropriations & Federal Funding
Position: Rep. Mrvan opposes the President's unilateral military actions in Iran, arguing they lack clear objectives and justification, and calls for legislation to prevent open-ended military engagement.
Washington, DC – Today, Rep. Frank J. Mrvan released the following statement on Iran.
“The President’s unilateral actions in Iran are wrong, and his dangerous rhetoric is making a bad situation worse. While I recognize the Administration’s announcement of a ceasefire, the fact remains that there was no imminent threat, no clear objectives, no end in sight, and our servicemembers continue to be placed in harm’s way. My constituents share my outrage over both his words and his actions, and they’re feeling the consequences at the gas pump and grocery store. I have supported legislation to prevent an open-ended military engagement and will continue working with my colleagues to hold this Administration accountable.”

Issues:Honoring Our Pact to Veterans
Position: Congressman Mrvan and Congresswoman Budzinski urge BP to end its lockout of union workers at the Whiting refinery and negotiate in good faith to maintain a skilled, unionized workforce, citing concerns about worker safety, regional economic stability, energy security, and compliance with the National Labor Relations Act.
Washington, DC – Today, Congressman Frank J. Mrvan (IN-01) and Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski (IL-13) sent a letter to the CEO of BP to express serious concerns regarding the ongoing lockout of union workers at the BP refinery in Whiting, Indiana.
Specifically, the letter to the CEO urges BP to end this lockout immediately and negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement that maintains a strong, skilled, unionized workforce at this critical facility.
The text of the letter is below and a pdf is available here.
“We write to express serious concerns regarding the ongoing lockout of union workers at the BP refinery in Whiting, Indiana. Skilled workers are vital for the operations and maintenance of this critical facility, and we have received outreach from community members expressing concern that this lockout jeopardizes health and safety, the region’s economic stability, and our nation’s energy security.
“The Whiting refinery is the largest in the Midwest and plays a central role in supplying the region with gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. According to the Energy Information Administration, past disruptions at Whiting have had an impact on the supply of petroleum products and raised energy prices in the Chicago market. For example, in 2024, when there was a prolonged outage at this facility, BP had to purchase fuels from the market to supply Chicago O'Hare International Airport in Illinois to ensure that passenger and freight transit would not be interrupted. Operations at Whiting have a direct impact on the regional economy – from drivers and farmers to manufacturers and shippers. Especially at a time when global energy markets remain volatile, the United States cannot afford unnecessary disruptions at this key domestic refining asset.
“Constituents residing near this facility have also expressed concern about the safety implications of a prolonged lockout. The Whiting refinery handles high-hazard chemical processes that require experienced operators, maintenance technicians, and emergency response personnel. The current situation introduces the risk that the refinery will be staffed with personnel who lack the skills and training necessary to manage abnormal operating conditions. Therefore, ensuring that this refinery is operated by a highly trained and unionized workforce is a matter of public safety for the families and businesses who live in close proximity to this refinery and rely on BP to maintain the highest standards of safety.
“For nearly 140 years, the Whiting refinery has served as an economic anchor for Northwest Indiana and the greater Chicago region, supporting thousands of workers and their families. As you know, the National Labor Relations Act requires employers and unions to bargain in good faith to negotiate the terms of employment. We urge you to end this lockout immediately and negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement that maintains a strong, skilled, unionized workforce at this critical facility.”

Issues:Supporting Organized LaborVice Chairman of Congressional Steel Caucus
Position: Rep. Mrvan supports the Iran War Powers Resolution, arguing that the Administration's unilateral military action without Congressional authorization violates constitutional war powers and lacks clear justification, imminent threat assessment, or international coalition support.
Washington, DC – Today, Rep. Frank J. Mrvan released the statement below on the Iran War Powers Resolution.
“Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons poses a serious threat to the United States, our allies, and stability in the Middle East, but under our Constitution, the authority to declare war rests solely with Congress, not the President acting alone.
“This Administration’s unilateral declaration of war has placed our brave servicemembers in harm’s way without Congressional authorization. I am praying for their safety and remain steadfast in my commitment to bring them home.
“I supported today’s War Powers Resolution because I believe the Administration’s actions raise serious constitutional concerns. Their justification for military action has shifted repeatedly, and they have admittedly acknowledged that the United States was not facing an imminent threat. The American people deserve transparency, clearly defined objectives, and a coalition of supportive international partners.
“There is an immediate need for Congress to reassert its constitutional responsibility, provide oversight, and develop a clear strategy that protects our national security while preventing an open-ended military engagement.
“As the Fiscal Year 2027 budget is submitted and the appropriations process begins, I will continue working with my Congressional colleagues to ensure accountability, support our servicemembers and their families, and uphold the constitutional balance of powers that defines our democracy.”

Position: Rep. Mrvan states that Iran's nuclear ambitions pose a serious threat and calls on Congress to reconvene and vote on a War Powers Resolution to ensure proper congressional oversight of military engagement in the region, citing constitutional authority and the need to avoid open-ended military commitments.
Washington, DC – Today, Rep. Frank J. Mrvan released the statement below regarding Iran.
“There is no doubt that Iran and their nuclear weapon ambitions currently pose a serious threat to the United States, our allies, and the Middle East region.
“Given the Administration's unilateral action, now is the time to be steadfast in our support for the courageous men and women of the Armed Forces who are in harm’s way.
“Under the U.S. Constitution, it is the sole responsibility for Congress to declare war, and history has taught us that open-ended military engagement in this region carries profound consequences for our troops, their families, and our national security.
“Therefore, I call on Speaker Johnson to reconvene the House so we can receive a full briefing from the Administration and hold an immediate vote on a War Powers Resolution.”

Mrvan Statement in Advance of the State of the Union Address
Position: Rep. Mrvan opposes open borders and calls for DHS funding with immigration enforcement safeguards including body cameras and due process protections. He also criticizes the Administration's tariff policies for raising grocery and utility costs on families.
Washington, DC – Today, Rep. Frank J. Mrvan released the statement below in advance of tonight’s State of the Union address.
“As we approach tonight’s State of the Union address, I remain focused on confronting this Administration’s actions that undermine our constitutional liberties, obstruct the implementation of federal funding laws, and are devastating the budgets of Northwest Indiana families with skyrocketing grocery and utility costs.
“The House Appropriations Committee and the legislative branch has demonstrated our ability to work in a bicameral and bipartisan fashion to solve problems, conduct oversight, and provide funds and direction to federal agencies. The Supreme Court and judicial branch has also demonstrated its ability to reign in certain tariffs that are causing groceries and expenses for farmers to remain high.
“The co-equal legislative and judicial branches have taken appropriate and reasoned actions to provide direction and hold this Administration accountable, but more must be done.
“I am steadfast in my opposition to open borders and believe that we must move without delay to reach an agreement to fund the Department of Homeland Security with commonsense guardrails, including mandating body cameras for federal agents, requiring agents to be clearly identifiable, and guaranteeing constitutionally protected due process for all individuals in custody.
“I look forward to then beginning the Fiscal Year 2027 appropriations process and continuing my efforts to bring federal investments to Northwest Indiana that strengthen public safety, support economic development, and alleviate cost concerns for working families in Northwest Indiana.”
