Congressman Morgan McGarvey Releases 2023 Report Highlighting Accomplishments in First Year of Congress
LOUISVILLE, KY (January 04, 2023) – Today, Congressman Morgan McGarvey (KY-03) released his 2023 report to constituents, highlighting important accomplishments during his first year serving Louisvillians in Congress.
“A year that started with 15 historic speaker votes ended with ousting a speaker for the first time in our country’s history, electing a new speaker (on the fourth try), expelling George Santos, and House Democrats coming in amid the chaos to prevent a MAGA government shutdown,” said Rep. McGarvey. “We secured more than $450 million in federal grant funding to revitalize Louisville neighborhoods, businesses, infrastructure, and schools, and our constituent services team recovered over $3 million in backpay and benefits that went directly into Louisvillians’ pockets. We also responded to 41,000 constituent emails and calls, held 273 community meetings, and 18 town halls. This led to us introducing several new bills inspired by conversations we had right here in Louisville. I’ve already passed one of those, becoming the first Freshman Democrat to pass a bill out of the House this year. I’m excited to continue working for us, our families, our community, and our country. That means more town halls, mobile office hours, legislation, and a team of hardworking, compassionate people on the ground in Louisville and in Washington hearing from you about what’s working, what isn’t, and what’s needed next.”
The report highlights:
- $3.7 million returned to Louisville families
- $459 million federal dollars secured for the district
- 41,000 constituent responses sent
- More than 1,000 constituent cases closed
- 11 bills introduced
- 1 bill unanimously passed the House Floor
- 234 bills cosponsored
- 240 meetings with Louisvillians
- 18 town halls held
- 66 Louisville communities visited
