Yesterday, I visited with my friend and local artist Gerome Meminger at the Opening of “Liquid Commonwealth: The Art and Life of Water in Virginia”, an exhibit at the Muscarelle Museum of Art at the College of William and Mary
Yesterday was a great day for young people in Chesapeake with the Launch of the Boys and Girls Club of Southeastern Virginia Club Teen Center Renovation Project. The renovated facility will help young people stay on the right track with mentoring and career planning services
In FY23, I secured $3 million in community project funding through the federal appropriations process for the City of Chesapeake’s first public pool, to be constructed at the Cuffee Community Center. It was great to be at the groundbreaking today!
President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law in 2010. It has been 15 years and there is still no Republican health care plan.
NEW: As health insurance bills rise, Republicans are still seeking an Obamacare alternative There is no legislative product yet. No consensus in the party about a plan. But top GOP lawmakers and policy figures on Capitol Hill have begun discussing concepts. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
This shutdown has been painful for many, especially Virginians. But this bill fails to address the Republican Health Care Crisis. And it fails to ensure the Trump Administration will spend money as Congress intended. I voted NO. My full statement: bobbyscott.house.gov/media-center...
Breaking news: The House passed a bill to reopen the federal government, taking the final step in Congress to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. The bill now heads to President Trump, who is expected to sign it into law.
Joining my House Democratic colleagues on the Capitol steps to rally against the spending bill’s failure to address the Republican Health Care Crisis and its failure to extend the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits.
Speaker Pelosi will go down in history as one of our nation's most consequential legislative leaders. Thanks to her leadership, we passed the Affordable Care Act, the American Rescue Plan Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act. Her legacy will endure for generations. Thank you, Madam Speaker!
Breaking News: Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the only female House speaker, said she would retire in 2027, ending a run as one of the most powerful women in U.S. politics. nyti.ms/3XkTV49
Earlier today I visited THRIVE Peninsula, a food pantry in Newport News. The Trump Administration must use the contingency funds available to fully fund SNAP benefits in November. Millions of Americans across the country rely on SNAP to put food on the table, including 824,000 Virginians.
Earlier today, I visited with TSA workers at Norfolk International Airport. TSA workers across the country have been incredibly strained during the government shutdown while they are asked to work without pay to keep Americans safe.
SNAP funding expires this week, leaving 824,000 Virginians at risk of going hungry. 🚨I led @bobbyscott.house.gov, @beyer.house.gov, @mcclellan.house.gov, @repsuhas.bsky.social, & @jameswalkinshaw.bsky.social in urging Attorney General Jason Miyares to join a multi-state suit to fund this program.
Donald Trump has ordered the Department of Agriculture to not use its reserve funds when SNAP dries up at the end of the month. Over 800,000 Virginians will go hungry in November because of this choice.
