Asked for support of Port of Entry (POE) designation language to be considered as potential amendment to appropriations bill(s). Amendment not offered. Notified Senator Cruz's office of Airport Board's granting of non-monetary "Wings of Service" award conferred to Senator for support of aviation industry.
Advocated for language to be introduced in House & Senate for the granting of Port of Entry (POE) status by the DHS CBP for Valley International Airport, which would provide same status as most other border airports. Senators Cruz (R-TX) & Cornyn (R-TX) re-introduced Border Airport Fairness Act (S. 222) on February 24. Advocated for House to do same. Reps. Elise Stefanik (NY) & Vicente Gonzalez (TX) re-introduced such language in April as "Border Airport Fairness Act of 2025."
