A fifth-grade class from Stafford wrote me about the importance of lowering costs and expanding access to healthy foods. They’re right — and that’s why I couldn’t support this Farm Bill. As the only Virginian on the Ag Committee, I’m working hard to address the concerns of the next generation.

Insider trading on prediction markets — especially when it involves matters of national security — is unacceptable.    I questioned CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig on this issue, pressing for accountability to ensure these markets are not exploited at the expense of America's troops or security.

It’s been a busy few weeks in Washington and back home in Virginia. Here’s the recap, brought to you by our hardworking Vinterns.

There are still Americans stranded in the Middle East. The Trump administration must make it an immediate priority to bring them home safely and without delay. If you or a loved one are stuck overseas, visit 🖥️ travel.state.gov or call ☎️ +1 (202) 501-4444

President Truman had a sign on his desk that said “The Buck Stops Here.” It’s clear with this Administration — and especially Secretary Hegseth — that the motto is “Pass the Buck.”

Higher grocery bills, higher utility bills, higher prices at the pump — all driven by rising transportation costs as diesel prices continue to climb due to Trump's war of choice with Iran.  That’s why I introduced the Diesel Prices Relief Act to temporarily suspend the federal diesel tax. (1/2)

Congratulations to my “Constituent of the Week,” Chief Rebecca Davis Nelson, on her appointment as Chief of Police for the Town of Orange.  With more than two decades of law enforcement experience, she now makes history as the first woman to lead the agency.  Thank you for your service!

This administration has entered a war of choice in the Middle East without clear strategic objectives, even as its actions risk driving our global competitors closer together.  These choices risk destabilizing the region and undermining America’s long-term national security interests.

I was honored to recognize Patrice Summers for 26 years of exceptional service to Prince William County.  I'm thankful for all she’s done for the PWC community — as Chief Elections Officer and as an active member of the SEIU Virginia 512 organizing committee.  Thank you for all you do, Patrice!

I’m proud that my team has returned more than $6 MILLION in backlogged tax refunds, Social Security checks, VA benefits, and more to residents in the Seventh District.   If you are facing an issue with a federal agency, please reach out to my office. We are here to help!

Jesse Watters promoted President Donald J. Trump's false claim that '86' was a mob term for murder. Watters used the term in July 2025 to describe people getting canceled by the mainstream media. I provide receipts along with the dictionary definition of the term - 86

Donald Trump’s Executive Order attempting to take over our elections is unconstitutional and unserious.

It appears the Israelis lied, and this was nothing more than a PR stunt intended to fool MAGA supporters. In reality, it was the Italian UNIFIL who replaced the statue of Jesus—which the Israelis viciously chopped down—with an axe. It’s hard to lie and deceive in the age of social media.🤦🏿‍♂️

To be clear – Greenland and Denmark have always been willing to work with us on Arctic security and economic development. Trump could have gotten what we needed without antagonizing our NATO allies.

UK Energy Bills Could Rise Amid Iran Conflict “Drilling more North Sea oil won’t cut UK prices, it’s sold globally. Better to focus on heat pumps, EVs, renewables and efficiency to lower bills and boost security,” says Jan Rosenow, Professor of Energy and Climate Policy, Oxford University, on LBC.
