The Social Security Administration ended its contract with VCU for services that help Americans with disabilities navigate Social Security benefits while seeking employment. I joined @MarkWarner and @SenTimKaine to demand answers about this abrupt decision.

Pete Hegseth’s illegal war in Iran raised gas prices, jeopardized our national security and put our servicemembers at risk. He has displayed a wanton disregard for Congressional authority and a complete lack of accountability, which must end. Just as the House stood ready to impeach Hegseth, Republicans punted.

Agriculture is the largest private industry in Virginia. This vital pillar of our economy faces significant challenges due to extreme weather, rising costs, reckless tariffs and shrinking markets. Yesterday, I visited with Brunswick County loggers and beef cattle farmers to discuss their challenges and how Congress can help.

Rural farmers and ranchers serve as the backbone of the American economy. Yet new farmers can face immense challenges getting their business off the ground. I joined @RepShontel and @RepSalinas to introduce the Farming Opportunities Training and Outreach Grant Program Reauthorization Act to preserve one of our nation’s most vital sectors by supporting beginning and underserved farmers.

In 2018, the Virginia General Assembly expanded Medicaid on a bipartisan basis, significantly broadening health care access and financial security across the Commonwealth. Rural communities particularly benefited, and over 500,000 Virginians got covered. In 2025, Virginia Republicans in Congress voted for the largest cuts to Medicaid in American history and put eligibility requirements in place designed to kick millions of Americans off their health insurance.   ICYMI, I joined the @ProtectOurCare “Sick of It” Bus Tour in Virginia Beach to highlight how those cuts put 300,000 Virginians and 13 Virginia hospitals at risk.

To ensure that all citizens can participate in our government by, of and for the people, each generation must fully understand the rich and complex history of its founding.

Everyone deserves to access quality health care, when they need it, without going bankrupt.  But Trump and Congressional Republicans have worsened the health care crisis facing too many communities by slashing over $1 trillion from Medicaid to bankroll tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations in their Big Ugly Law.  I joined @RepBobbyScott, state officials, patients and advocates for the @ProtectOurCare “Sick of It” Bus Tour stops in Williamsburg and Virginia Beach to call on Congress to reverse the cuts.
