As the ninth woman and the first Black woman to represent our Commonwealth in Congress, I stand on the shoulders and build upon the legacies of the women who came before me. #WomensHistoryMonth

Republicans refuse to pass measures to rein in ICE and Border Patrol agents. Nor will they pass standalone funding for TSA, FEMA and the Coast Guard. Today, I visited TSA workers at Richmond International Airport to hear how this latest shutdown impacts them.
I’m proud to earn a 100% score on the @lcv.org’s 2025 #LCVScorecard and a 100% lifetime score. As Congressional Republicans roll back clean energy progress and environmental protections, I keep fighting for our children, our economy and our communities to build a cleaner, healthier future.

In 1990, Congress established March 10th as #HarrietTubmanDay to honor the brave Underground Railroad conductor who died on this date in 1913. Born enslaved in 1822, Harriet escaped in 1849 and dedicated her life towards “a more perfect union,” in which the promises of America extended to everyone.

During #BlackHistoryMonth, I received essays from students across Virginia’s Fourth reflecting on the legacies of Carter G. Woodson and Barbara Johns. Congratulations to this year’s winners, David Gaitho and Anivarth Vallem — and thank you to every student who submitted. Keep up the great work!

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! All women deserve to live with dignity and the opportunity to achieve their dreams. Today we celebrate the women who’ve fought to remove barriers to those dreams. #WomensHistoryMonth

During this short but busy week, Congressional Republicans refused to check the Trump Administration’s overreach in Iran, put guardrails on an out-of-control DHS or meaningfully address online safety for our kids. Keep watching for more highlights.
Thrilled to announce that I secured over $10 MILLION in funding for community projects across Virginia’s Fourth! These projects will make our water safer, invest in research at VSU and VCU, improve stormwater management and upgrade our roads.

The Pentagon identified the two additional servicemembers killed in a drone strike at a Kuwait command center in the ongoing conflict in the Middle East: Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert Marzan, 54 Maj. Jeffrey O’Brien, 45 I extend my condolences and prayers to their families and loved ones.

I will not legitimize this military campaign with additional DHS funding while they terrorize Americans at home and shirk their responsibility to seek authorization for military action abroad. With six servicemembers killed and more put in harm’s way, we should not play games with people’s lives.
Congressional Republicans used Trump’s latest military strikes and attempted war of choice to ram through funding for DHS without the necessary guardrails Democrats have demanded since the start of negotiations. ICE and Border Patrol already received nearly $200 billion through the Big Ugly Law.
I welcome today’s firing of Kristi Noem as DHS Secretary, but the Trump Administration’s mass deportation agenda going forward seems is more of the same. A leadership change in name only does not go far enough to address this crisis and prevent pain and suffering from continuing.
DHS must be held to the same standards as any other law enforcement agency: bodycams and IDs, no masks, reporting systems and more. Until real accountability measures are put in place, I cannot in good conscience vote to fund an out-of-control department that undermines rights with impunity.
Masked agents carry offensive weapons as they break into homes, abduct, detain and kill people. Today, news broke of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez shot and killed by a DHS agent months ago, adding to the known death toll under this Administration and its paramilitary force in our streets.
