I met with Deuntay Diggs, Chair of the Stafford County Board of Supervisors, to discuss how we can continue moving Stafford County forward.
Our conversation focused on strengthening coordination between local and federal leaders to deliver real results for families, businesses, and the community.
As a 25-year Army veteran, I know firsthand the sacrifices our soldiers make.
Our service members deserve support when they come home.
Six dollars a day to help feed those who put their lives on the line for our country is not too much to ask.
February was a busy month both on Capitol Hill and across Virginia’s Seventh Congressional District.
Take a look at what I’ve been working on, brought to you by our Spring Vinterns!
I attended the dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base to honor six Americans killed in Kuwait. These soldiers made the ultimate sacrifice, and their families will carry that loss forever.
As an Iraq War veteran, I am left with questions: How does this war end? How many more Americans will die?
I joined local leaders in Culpeper County to celebrate $800,000 to extend Simms Drive — a dead-end road that has long-posed access and congestion challenges in the community.
This extension will improve traffic flow and reduce the daily commuting burden that Virginians know all too well.
I secured $245,000 for the Town of Culpeper to install Emergency Call Boxes throughout the Culpeper Trail Network.
Thank you Culpeper Police Chief Settle, Deputy Chief White, Mayor Frank Reaves, and all of the local officials who worked with my office to secure this investment.
I was glad to join the Caroline County Sheriff’s Office to celebrate $967,000 in federal funding I secured for public safety upgrades in the county.
These funds will be used to modernize the office's radio system to strengthen coordination among first responders and enhance community safety.
As a result of Trump’s war with Iran, gas prices have jumped nationwide.
Right here in VA-07, families are already seeing it at the pump.
Americans need leadership focused on lowering costs — not reckless decisions that make life more expensive.
We don’t yet know the price tag of Trump’s war of choice with Iran.
Some estimates say it could cost $1 BILLION per day.
That’s money that could be lowering grocery prices, bringing down prescription drug costs, and helping families afford gas.
Ukraine understands the Shahed drone threat better than anyone — because they’ve faced it night after night while defending their people and their democracy.
As we confront similar threats in the Middle East, Ukraine sharing their expertise shows what real security cooperation looks like.
Farmers are struggling and families are feeling the squeeze.
In this year’s Farm Bill, Republicans refused to address Trump’s tariffs, failed to reverse SNAP cuts, denied emergency aid to farmers at risk of losing their farms, and that’s just the beginning.
This bill doesn’t meet the moment.
As I told Jim Sciutto, Congress has a constitutional duty to step in and check this president’s war of choice.
Our job is to protect American lives, defend the Constitution, and keep our service members out of forever wars.
I voted YES on the War Powers Resolution.
Under Kristi Noem, the Department of Homeland Security became increasingly aggressive and willing to push the boundaries of the law.
It’s long past time that she was fired.
But accountability can’t stop with one person. We must hold ICE accountable and work towards commonsense reforms.
Pete Hegseth’s comments on the deaths of six U.S. service members were disgusting and despicable.
Six brave Americans are dead — and the Secretary of Defense is worried about how it makes the president look.
Absolutely vile.
As if everyday costs weren’t already high enough, Trump’s war with Iran is now driving gas prices up. When will this president start focusing on making life better for hardworking Americans here at home instead of fueling costly conflicts overseas?
I voted to demand the House Ethics Committee publicly and immediately release all sexual misconduct reports involving Members of Congress.
The public — and the victims — deserve transparency and accountability.
Congress cannot hide these reports the way Republicans have hidden the Epstein files.
This morning, I joined fellow veterans in Congress to speak out against Trump's war with Iran.
We cannot keep writing blank checks for conflicts overseas while families here at home are struggling to afford groceries and gas.
Trump must put the needs of Americans first.
To all those celebrating across Virginia, Chag Purim Sameach!
Wishing you all joyous time spent with loved ones.
Costs at home are skyrocketing.
And you know what else would come at a staggering price? A war with Iran.
Instead of concentrating on bringing down costs, we are drifting toward an open-ended conflict in the Middle East.
The American people deserve better.
The deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti at the hands of federal agents were heartbreaking and preventable.
Kristi Noem's attempts to smear them as "domestic terrorists" is nothing more than a half-baked attempt to protect her secret police.
I am heartbroken for the service members we’ve lost and for the loved ones they leave behind.
As an Iraq War veteran, I know the weight of losing even one American in uniform.
My thoughts are with their families and with all our brave service members serving in harm’s way.
I will not shed a tear over the death of Ayatollah Khamenei. Good riddance.
But make no mistake, I don’t trust that President Trump has a plan or is telling the truth, and you shouldn’t either.
Trump is not a president of peace. He is a president of chaos and war.
My thoughts are now firmly with the American service members who will bear the brunt of President Trump’s ill-advised adventure.
But the decision to go to war rests with Congress because the Founders knew such consequential decisions require the assent of the people.
President Trump has ignored that obligation again, and I dread it will lead to another war in the Middle East that the American people do not want.
There is no love lost between me and the Iranian regime, and the world would be better off without them.
The Iranian regime is evil.
They have brutally suppressed their own people — most recently murdering tens of thousands of their own citizens demanding freedom — and long sponsored terrorist attacks across the world.
My twin brother, Alex, was wounded by an Iranian IED while serving in Iraq.
President Trump has exposed our troops, citizens, and allies to great risk from Iran in the form of ballistic missiles and terrorist attacks.
Make no mistake, American blood and treasure will be consumed in this war of choice.
I have said before that wars are easy to start and hard to finish, and regime change from the air is very unlikely to succeed.
It should never be the case that the United States puts our sons and daughters in harm's way without a clear purpose, path to victory, and exit strategy.
Trump doesn’t know, and, worse, he doesn’t care. He and his team are incapable of a sound strategy to succeed.
He said in his speech justifying the strikes, “The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost.” He is too eager to make a sacrifice that service members and their families will bear.
