After news that Dominion Energy could be acquired by NextEra, it’s clear we need stronger protections to ensure consumers come before corporate profits.    That’s why I’m leading legislation to lower utility costs and increase oversight of utility monopolies.

Secretary Hegseth sent American service members into a war of choice with Iran without a clear plan.    Now, with lives lost and hundreds wounded, there’s still no end in sight.    I will be questioning him today on these failures and demanding answers for the American people.

President Trump is proposing a $1.5 TRILLION defense budget.  He would rather pour resources into his illegal war of choice than invest in health care and child care here at home.   We cannot allow Washington Republicans to rubber-stamp this reckless agenda.

Applications for the Congressional Art Competition are due TOMORROW!   If you’re a high school artist living in VA-07, check out vindman.house.gov/services/art-competition/ for rules and information.   Entries are due to either my Woodbridge or Fredericksburg District Office by 5pm.

Secretary Hegseth made it clear that he’s more concerned with media optics than the deaths of six U.S. service members.  It’s disgusting.   Our troops deserve leadership that puts their lives and service first.

Across Virginia, farmers are experiencing significant crop damage due to inclement weather and rising costs driven by Trump's trade war.  Today in a House Ag Committee hearing, Sec. Rollins committed to issuing a Secretarial Disaster Designation for Virginia, and I expect her to follow through.

This is yet another conflict Trump has pulled us into without Congressional approval.  Congress has a constitutional responsibility to authorize the use of military force. Bypassing that process weakens accountability and democratic oversight.  The American people deserve transparency.

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!

I was honored to recognize my ‘Constituent of the Week’, Pranav Vedula, on the U.S. House floor for winning the Seventh Congressional District’s App Challenge.      Congratulations on a job well done, Pranav! Your future is bright.

Congress must get back to work and put a check on this rogue president.   Speaker Johnson needs to call the House back into session to pass a War Powers Resolution and rein in Trump's reckless impulses.    More with Laura Coates👇

From his blanket tariffs and rhetoric to his reckless mismanagement of our economy, Donald Trump has made it harder for working Nevadans to get ahead.

The President changes his mind multiple times in the same hour on the same day about the same subject.   His whims are destroying our economy.
