That’s why I’m proud to co-lead the Critical Materials Future Act alongside Congresswoman McCollum. This bipartisan legislation establishes a pilot program to support companies committed to building critical mineral processing operations here in the United States. By strengthening our domestic supply chains, this legislation will reduce our dependence on foreign adversaries and move us one step closer to revitalizing the American defense industrial base.

Van Epps reiterated his commitment to co-lead the Critical Materials Future Act, which would establish a pilot program supporting domestic critical mineral processing and reducing reliance on foreign adversaries.
