# Nuclear Advocates Engage New Lawmakers

Rep. Chuck Fleischmann urged nuclear-industry stakeholders to engage newly elected members of Congress to sustain momentum for domestic nuclear power, pointing to growing bipartisan support. The signal describes congressional outreach—not a procurement, funding, or legislative action—and reports no solicitation, contract value, or award. For contractors, its relevance is in relationship-building and understanding how congressional priorities may affect the nuclear sector’s future opportunities.

- Nuclear-sector companies can follow the signal’s recommendation to build relationships with incoming legislators and communicate industry priorities.
- Contractors should track congressional priorities relevant to domestic nuclear power; the signal identifies no specific contract or funding opportunity to pursue.
- The reported bipartisan support may inform companies’ policy-engagement strategies, but no change to procurement requirements or law is announced.
