Trump is wrong to start a war in Venezuela. It is not what the American people want, it is not putting America first, and it is not worth American blood and treasure.

Over the past two decades, we have learned the hard way that wars are easy to start and hard to finish. A plan rarely survives first contact. Having served in Iraq, I’ve seen this first hand.
Let there be no mistake, President Trump has started a war in Venezuela, without any Congressional approval, and in violation of the Constitution.
Cindy and my thoughts are with our troops this morning and their families. We hope they come home safe.
The U.S. military is a remarkable instrument that performs magnificently.
The question is whether it will be a tool of conquest or a tool to defend American lives and values.
As we ring in the New Year, I’m wishing all Virginians a happy and safe start to 2026.
May the year ahead bring health, happiness, and meaningful time with loved ones.
From dollars returned and cases closed to bills introduced and letters sent, my team and I have been hard at work delivering real results for Virginia’s Seventh District.
Read more about what we’ve accomplished in my first year in office 👇
I’m proud of what my team and I have accomplished in our first year serving Virginians in Congress — and we’re just getting started.
Here are a few highlights from the work we’ve done on your behalf.
This past year, I’ve had the privilege of serving you and our community in Congress.
As we wrap up 2025, I want you to know that every day, my focus is on delivering real results for Virginia families.
To all Virginians celebrating today, Merry Christmas! 🎄
From my family to yours, wishing you a holiday filled with peace, joy, and time with loved ones.
Too many Americans struggle to build the retirement savings they will need after decades of hard work.
It doesn't have to be this way.
I’m leading a bipartisan bill to give more families flexibility with their retirement plans to help them stay on track financially.
In my first year in office, my team and I returned more than $4.2 million to the people of VA-07!
As we head into the new year, please don’t hesitate to reach out to my office if you or a loved one needs assistance working with a federal agency.
Scams are far too common in the rehab industry — bad actors too often exploit vulnerable people and our health care system for profit.
I’m leading bipartisan legislation with Rep. Rulli to stop deceptive, predatory practices that mislead patients and abuse insurance systems.
Individuals with disabilities are great assets to our communities and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
That’s why I’m leading bipartisan legislation with Reps. Higgins, Sessions, and Moore to make traffic stops more respectful and safer for them.
The U.S. lost 105,000 jobs in October.
Unemployment is now at its highest level since 2021.
Behind these statistics are families facing real uncertainty.
President Trump, your job is to make people's lives easier, not harder.
Too many Americans are one flat tire, one medical bill, or one missed paycheck away from financial crisis.
That’s why I'm leading a bipartisan bill to give working families a safer, more effective tool to handle emergencies without sacrificing their long-term retirement security.
Gun violence has become the #1 cause of death among young Americans. Congress is not powerless here. We have an obligation to act.
That’s why I became a member of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force to deliver commonsense gun safety legislation.
Roughly half of Americans say it’s more difficult than usual to afford holiday gifts for their loved ones.
Republicans promised to lower costs — but Trump's tariffs are doing the exact opposite.
Today, I joined my colleagues in the House Democratic Veterans Caucus to speak out about the ongoing care delays facing the Fredericksburg VA Health Care Center.
Veterans should not have to wait for essential services because facilities are understaffed due to Trump cuts.
After Jamal Khashoggi was murdered, I reviewed President Trump’s call with the Saudi Crown Prince while serving on the White House National Security Council.
It’s been one month since I began calling for POTUS to share the contents of the call.
Transparency matters. Release the transcript.
Cartels are not just Mexico’s problem — they are a direct threat to communities across our Commonwealth and our country.
I’m leading a bipartisan effort to support law enforcement efforts that will cut off weapons, cash, and resources that fuel cartel violence at and beyond our southern border.
