Nor'easter Causes Coastal Flooding in DC Area, Cancels Maryland Festival Events

A nor'easter is currently bringing significant coastal flooding to the East Coast, impacting areas from Virginia to Maryland.

Congressman Mike Kennedy Advocates for Rural Healthcare in Washington

Congressman Mike Kennedy, a family physician and former Utah legislator, is actively working to ensure that federal healthcare policies in Washington D.C. better serve Utah's hospitals and patients, particularly those in rural areas.
