This week, I visited Eugene Triplett's fifth-generation family farm in Culpeper.

As the only Virginian on the Ag Committee, I was honored to visit his farm, hear his story, and discuss how I'm working to save programs that help him sell produce to local churches and schools.
This past year, I’ve had the privilege of serving you and our community in Congress.

As we wrap up 2025, I want you to know that every day, my focus is on delivering real results for Virginia families.

To all Virginians celebrating today, Merry Christmas! 🎄

From my family to yours, wishing you a holiday filled with peace, joy, and time with loved ones.

Too many Americans struggle to build the retirement savings they will need after decades of hard work.

It doesn't have to be this way.

I’m leading a bipartisan bill to give more families flexibility with their retirement plans to help them stay on track financially.

In my first year in office, my team and I returned more than $4.2 million to the people of VA-07!

As we head into the new year, please don’t hesitate to reach out to my office if you or a loved one needs assistance working with a federal agency.

Scams are far too common in the rehab industry — bad actors too often exploit vulnerable people and our health care system for profit. 

I’m leading bipartisan legislation with Rep. Rulli to stop deceptive, predatory practices that mislead patients and abuse insurance systems.

Individuals with disabilities are great assets to our communities and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.  

That’s why I’m leading bipartisan legislation with Reps. Higgins, Sessions, and Moore to make traffic stops more respectful and safer for them.

The U.S. lost 105,000 jobs in October. 
Unemployment is now at its highest level since 2021. 

Behind these statistics are families facing real uncertainty. 

President Trump, your job is to make people's lives easier, not harder.
The US gained 64,000 jobs in November but lost 105,000 in October; unemployment rate at 4.6%
The United States gained a decent 64,000 jobs in November but lost 105,000 in October as federal workers departed after cutbacks by the Trump administration, the government said in delayed reports.

Too many Americans are one flat tire, one medical bill, or one missed paycheck away from financial crisis. 

That’s why I'm leading a bipartisan bill to give working families a safer, more effective tool to handle emergencies without sacrificing their long-term retirement security.

Gun violence has become the #1 cause of death among young Americans. Congress is not powerless here. We have an obligation to act. 

That’s why I became a member of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force to deliver commonsense gun safety legislation.

Roughly half of Americans say it’s more difficult than usual to afford holiday gifts for their loved ones.

Republicans promised to lower costs — but Trump's tariffs are doing the exact opposite.

Today, I joined my colleagues in the House Democratic Veterans Caucus to speak out about the ongoing care delays facing the Fredericksburg VA Health Care Center. 

Veterans should not have to wait for essential services because facilities are understaffed due to Trump cuts.

After Jamal Khashoggi was murdered, I reviewed President Trump’s call with the Saudi Crown Prince while serving on the White House National Security Council.

It’s been one month since I began calling for POTUS to share the contents of the call.

Transparency matters. Release the transcript.

Cartels are not just Mexico’s problem — they are a direct threat to communities across our Commonwealth and our country.

I’m leading a bipartisan effort to support law enforcement efforts that will cut off weapons, cash, and resources that fuel cartel violence at and beyond our southern border.

The FY26 NDAA has passed the Senate with three bipartisan provisions I led in the House to strengthen support for military families and federal employees.
 
Next stop: the President’s desk.
🚨I joined a bipartisan majority of my U.S. House colleagues in voting to pass the NDAA.

This bill delivers real investments in military readiness, innovation, and the wellbeing of our service members and their families.

Every military family and service member should know that I have their back.

Communities across America are being squeezed by rising construction costs and a shrinking housing supply.

That’s why I’m leading a bipartisan bill with Rep. Bresnahan. We must unlock new opportunities for small builders and empower them to deliver the homes our neighbors desperately need.

Today, I was honored to join my Virginia delegation colleagues for the Congressional statue dedication honoring Barbara Rose Johns.
 
Her courage and leadership helped expand opportunity for generations of students. 
 
She will represent the Commonwealth proudly in the halls of Congress.

Costs are rising under this administration, and hardworking Virginia families are feeling the squeeze this holiday season.   
 
In Congress, I've been working tirelessly to ease that burden — and I'll continue fighting to keep Virginians' hard-earned dollars in their wallet in the new year.
December 16, 2025 at 7:02 PM
I introduced two bipartisan bills to confront the growing crisis of screen addiction among men and boys. 

These bills will help us understand the real impacts on mental health, family life, and work — and guide evidence-based solutions.

I am devastated by the loss of a bright young Virginian in this week’s shooting at Brown University.

Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, a graduate of Midlothian High School, was deeply loved by his family and friends. Cindy and I cannot begin to imagine the pain they are carrying.
