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.

Did you know that the U.S. spends $142 MILLION each year to round up, feed, and house wild horses and burros on federal lands?
I’m leading a bill with Rep. Buchanan to propose the use drones for a less invasive and cheaper way to round up these animals.

House Republicans have been on a taxpayer-funded vacation since September 19.
...and Speaker Johnson is — once again — not calling votes next week.
This is a complete abdication of leadership.

🚨NEW: The U.S. Senate has introduced my Nitazene Control Act to crack down on synthetic opioids experts are calling the “next fentanyl.”
Addressing the rise of nitazenes demands a bipartisan, bicameral effort — and I’m glad to be taking on this fight with colleagues on both sides of the aisle.

Thousands of federal workers, service members, and contractors in VA-07 have faced uncertainty for the past 38 days.
These are real people who are hurting.
House GOP, come to the table to support a budget that protects health care, invests in our public schools, and lowers costs.

Last Friday, I toured Early Mountain Vineyards in Madison and spoke with farmers and winemakers about the challenges they’re facing — including the persistent threat of the spotted lanternfly (and yes, I squished a few!) (1/2)

SNAP benefits lapsed for the first time in U.S. history last week.
A judge ordered full payments be made by today — but the Trump admin appealed, signaling that 42M Americans shouldn’t receive the benefits they need to feed their families.
This is cartoonishly evil.

Federal employees, contractors, and service members aren't getting their paychecks. It’s unacceptable that Members of Congress continue to collect theirs.
That's why I directed the U.S. House to withhold my paycheck during this shutdown. Congress must play by the same rules as everyone else.

Protecting Americans from foreign scammers is essential to U.S. national security.
That’s why I’m leading an effort with Rep. Jim Baird to establish a joint task force to investigate, disrupt, and protect Americans from international cybercrimes.

I joined the House Veterans Affairs Committee today for a roundtable on veterans’ benefits, where I highlighted the unbearable wait times and staffing crisis at the Fredericksburg Health Care Center in my district.
Our veterans deserve timely, high-quality care — and this facility is falling short.

42 million Americans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families.
Heather, a mom from Prince William, is one of them.
Without SNAP, she won't be able to provide her two children the balanced meals they need to grow and stay healthy.
No family should go hungry in America.

The courts have directed Trump to fully fund SNAP benefits so more than 42 million people can put food on the table.
POTUS has refused this order.
Cruel doesn’t even begin to describe it. I’m fighting to make sure that every American receives the benefits they rely on.
