Bernie Moreno, U.S. Senator from Ohio, shared updates and opinions on his social media accounts this week, detailing a personal travel incident and expressing criticism of legislative actions in Congress.
On May 14, 2026, Moreno recounted an in-flight experience while traveling home to Cleveland from Washington, D.C. He posted, “On a flight home to CLE from DC on @AmericanAir and the pilot came on and said ‘there’s a problem with the landing gear.’ We are now heading back to DCA. ‘It shouldn’t be a safety problem’ is all we’ve been told. Then why return to DCA when we were about 20 minutes away from CLE?” Later that evening, he confirmed his safe arrival by posting, “Landed safely. “ (May 14, 2026).
The following day, Moreno turned his attention to congressional matters. On May 15, 2026, he commented on the housing bill under consideration in Congress: “Rather than doing the bidding of massive Wall Street firms, @RepMaxineWaters should stop obstructing the Senate passed Housing bill. I wonder how much money is changing hands to tank the 89-10 passed Senate bill? Reverend Al doesn’t work for free! https://t.co/XxQl08I0dH”
Moreno serves as a member of several Senate committees related to banking, housing, urban affairs, commerce, science, transportation, homeland security, governmental affairs and budget issues (official website). He immigrated from Colombia at age five and became a U.S. citizen at eighteen (official website). In addition to his legislative work promoting technology policy such as blockchain and autonomous vehicle safety practices (official website), Moreno maintains multiple offices across Ohio—including in Washington D.C., Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati—to serve constituents (official website). He also provides newsletter subscriptions for residents seeking regular updates (official website).
