In February, Vance visited East Palestine on the second anniversary of the disaster.
"President Trump and I have never forgotten the people of East Palestine, and we will never stop fighting for the cleanup effort in this community to be completed," Vance wrote in a post on X. "We are with you for the long haul."
He guaranteed the community that the environmental cleanup would be completed, calling it "a tragedy and a shame" that the Biden administration failed to finish the effort.
Former President Joe Biden took a year to visit the town after the disaster.
