With a resounding victory in Tuesday’s election, Republican Congressman Mike Bost of Murphysboro is heading back to Washington D.C. The focus for much of congress will be another COVID relief package. In addition, Congressman Bost has some priorities of his own. He says there are three areas Congress will be working on almost immediately once they reconvene.

In addition, Bost says he plans to continue his work on veteran-related issues. If Republicans take the majority, he will be working to become chairman of the VA Committee. If Democrats are in charge, he will be the highest-ranking Republican on that committee.
