On this Veterans Day, I voted for the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act, which includes the Major Richard Star Act.
As a result, our nation’s veterans, their families and Gold Star families will access expanded benefits and opportunities.
Thank you @caitlinnowens of Axios for the opportunity this week to discuss the landscape for Congress on health care policy.
I look forward to helping Republicans lead on solutions that help patients and rural communities.
As we honor Veterans Day, we also recognize the Ninth District military members and veterans who continue to serve our country. My District Director Cody Rush recently graduated from the U.S. Army Reserve Command and General Staff Officers’ Course. Congratulations, Cody!
Under tough circumstances, @SpeakerJohnson helped guide a slim Republican majority to deliver policies that support freedom, prosperity and conservatism.
I thank Speaker Johnson for all he has done to help conservatives win, govern and advance the movement in DC.

The Radford Army Ammunition Plant helps serve U.S. military objectives.
Last month, I toured the Arsenal and engaged with leadership to support a critical partner for our military.
Eastman Chemical provides local manufacturing jobs for Virginians at its sites in Henry County-Martinsville as well as at its Kingsport HQ.
In October, I toured Eastman’s HQ to see how the innovative recycling manufacturer supports our communities.
Floyd’s Huckleberry Dairy Farm is a family daily farm that has been around for more than a half-century.
I appreciate getting a firsthand look at their cattle and discussing policies to support local dairy farms and rural community family businesses.
This year, the Martinsville Missile set a stock car land speed record of 253 miles per hour.
Today, I visited the Virginia Tech engineering department with leaders of the Martinsville Missile, Danny Turner and Joey Arrington, as they look to develop another record-shattering car!
VCHEC in St. Paul is a world-class clean coal facility that is a financial and environmental asset to our region.
That is why I am calling for actions to protect VCHEC should Virginia regulators approve the proposed Dominion-NextEra Energy merger.
The ribbon-cutting and opening of the Cary C. Fuller Education Center presents new opportunities to recognize our region’s connection to First Lady Edith Bolling Wilson.
I enjoyed celebrating the October event with officials from the Wytheville - Wythe - Bland Chamber of Commerce before attending the group’s roundtable on local tourism.
Pamela Irvine is a great advocate for Southwest Virginia communities.
Her work leading Feeding Southwest Virginia inspires many to do the same.
I recently congratulated her on her retirement after 45 years and wished her well on her next endeavors.
My advocacy for Ninth District farms includes pushing federal agencies for crop relief.
During a recent farm tour with Virginia Farm Bureau officials, I visited a local Dublin farm to discuss the impacts of drought and overall farm policies.
Last week, I visited Carroll County for the J. Sidna Allen House Autumn Days.
In my DC office, I display a box that Allen made himself. My great-grandmother purchased it from Allen when she and her bible study group went to pray for Allen in prison a century ago.
