Each year, I check in with local government officials across Virginia’s Fourth to hear their priorities and discuss how we can partner to address the needs of our constituents. Last week, I met local officials from Colonial Heights, Hopewell, Petersburg, Surry, Sussex and the Town of Waverly.

This past year, 82 million Americans have had to cut back on daily living expenses to afford health care. Yet Congressional Republicans have continued cutting billions of dollars in Medicare and Medicaid. The American people do not need costly foreign entanglement: we need affordable health care.
Yesterday, I joined Rep. Bobby Scott and Rep. Jen Kiggans for the annual Navy League of the United States, Hampton Roads Roundtable Luncheon to hear and address concerns of the civilians who support our nation’s sea services at the largest naval base in the world and throughout the Hampton Roads.

This week, I toured the VCU Rice Rivers Center, where its leadership seeks to support scholarship and student success — from research, to water quality monitoring, to supporting community stewardship. We must continue to invest in better research outcomes and ensure a healthy planet.

I send condolences to the loved ones of Lt. Col. Brandon Shah, who was killed in the horrific shooting at Old Dominion University yesterday, and gratitude to the brave ROTC students who acted quickly to prevent further loss of life. I stand with the ODU community as they reel from this tragedy.
Last week, Congressional Republicans blocked House and Senate resolutions to begin terminating offensive troop activity in Iran without Congressional approval. Read more about what you may have missed in Washington in my newsletter below ⬇️
I am proud to carry on the legacy of and work alongside such extraordinary women who represent the Commonwealth. From Leslie Byrne to today, I will continue to fight to ensure the next generation of women have every opportunity to succeed, regardless of their backgrounds.

Jennifer Wexton built a career around protecting others before representing Virginia’s Tenth District from 2019 to 2025. After being diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy, she continued serving with resilience and became the first member of Congress to speak on the floor using an AI voice.
@abigailspanberger.com started as a case officer in the CIA, gathering intelligence on terrorism before going on to represent Virginia’s 7th Congressional District from 2019 to 2025. This year, Her Excellency was sworn in as the 75th governor of Virginia — the first woman to lead our Commonwealth.
Elaine Luria spent 20 years in the Navy in its nuclear power program, before representing Virginia’s 2nd District from 2019 to 2023. In Congress, she became Vice Chair of the Armed Services Committee and served on the January 6th Select Committee investigating the attack on the Capitol.

Jo Ann Davis grew up in a trailer park in Hampton and never imagined running for office. She went on to become the first Republican woman elected to Congress from Virginia, serving the First District from 2001 to 2007 with a focus on military families, national defense and the Chesapeake Bay.
