Dave Joyce, a U.S. Congressman representing Ohio's 14th district, has been active on social media, addressing various legislative initiatives and their implications. Joyce has been serving in Congress since 2013 after succeeding Steve LaTourette.

On December 11, 2024, Joyce highlighted his efforts to promote the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Act by sending a letter to Speaker Johnson and Representative Jeffries. He emphasized the significant economic and environmental impact of the initiative over the past decade. "I sent a letter to @SpeakerJohnson and @RepJeffries, urging consideration of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Act."

Later that day, he expressed pride in the passage of the FY25 National Defense Authorization Act in the House. This legislation includes increased pay for Ohio service members and expanded care for their families, aiming to enhance soldiers' quality of life while refocusing military priorities. "Proud to see the FY25 National Defense Authorization Act pass the House with increased pay for Ohio service members and expanded care for their families."

In another post made at nearly the same time, Joyce announced that his bill, known as the WILD Act, was part of this legislative package. The bill aims to reauthorize the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program across all states to support wildlife conservation efforts globally for future generations. "My bill, the WILD Act, was included in the passage of this package."
