U.S. Rep. Rob Bresnahan touted the impact the Rural Health Transformation Fund may have in his district during a roundtable discussion last week with President Donald Trump, administration officials and fellow Republican lawmakers on rural health care.

WASHINGTON, DC — On January 14, Representative Rob Bresnahan, Jr. (PA-08) announced he, alongside Rep. Dan Goldman (NY-10), introduced the Federal Correctional Officer Paycheck Protection Act. This bipartisan legislation would bring pay for federal correctional officers in line with other federal law enforcement agencies, strengthening recruitment and retention to address the chromic and severe staffing shortages inside federal prisons.

U.S. Rep. Rob Bresnahan Jr. visited Tobyhanna Army Depot ahead of the planned expansion of its radar campus.

Bresnahan, a Republican representing the 8th District of Pennsylvania, took a tour on Jan. 15 along with media.

According to information provided by the depot, the two-phase expansion of the depot’s radar test range “will increase capacity and capability to 3 radomes and 15 distinct pads” from its current five radar test sites with eight distinct pads.

WILKES-BARRE — In early January, U.S. Rep. Rob Bresnahan voted in favor of H.R. 1834, which would extend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enhanced premium tax credits that expired on Dec. 31, 2025.

The legislation passed the House by a vote of 230-196, with 17 Republicans voting in favor.

To address the severe staffing shortages inside federal prisons, U.S. Rep. Rob Bresnahan (R-PA) on Jan. 13 introduced bipartisan legislation that would increase pay for federal correctional officers.

“Our correctional officers… have been asked to do more with less for far too long, and it’s not sustainable,” Rep. Bresnahan said. “This legislation provides a long-term fix that will help bring in new officers, keep experienced staff on the job, and cut the reliance on mandatory overtime, making our prisons safer for everyone.”
