I've heard firsthand from rural manufacturers across Virginia that Trump's tariffs are keeping them from producing the products their customers depend on.
I sent a letter to Secretary Bessent urging him to reconsider the current tariffs that are hurting so many American producers and consumers.

While serving on Trump’s White House NSC, I reviewed the president’s call with the Saudi Crown Prince following the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
I joined FOX5 to continue pressing for the release of the transcript of this call.
The American people and the Khashoggi family deserve the truth.
Thanksgiving is this week — and prices are skyrocketing.
🦃 Turkeys are up 40%
🍠 Yams are up nearly 200%
🌽 Canned veggies are up 5%
Trump is focused on cutting taxes for his billionaire friends instead of helping hardworking families afford a holiday meal.

Trump knows exactly what was said on that 2019 call with the Saudi Crown Prince — and so do I.
The American people should see the transcript for themselves.
Great to join the turkey giveaway with Delegates Luke Torian, Candi Mundon King, & Briana Sewell. Thank you to the students from Gar-Field HS for volunteering!
This is not the first time the president has come after me. His intimidation campaign didn’t stop me then, and it certainly won’t stop me now.
So, Mr. President, my response to you is this: release the transcript.
Unsurprisingly, the president is refusing to release the transcript. Instead, he is weaponizing his government against me in an attempt to silence me and distract from his corruption.
I feel strongly that the American people and the Khashoggi family deserve to hear the content of that call.
And if history is any indication, I don’t cry wolf.
After Trump’s disturbing defense of MBS in the Oval Office this week, I demanded the transcript of that call be released alongside the widow of Jamal Khashoggi.
While serving on Trump’s White House NSC, I reviewed a problematic call between the president and the Saudi Crown Prince following the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
ICYMI: Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth just launched a sham investigation into me for telling the truth about Trump’s 2019 call with the Saudi Crown Prince.
It’s been a busy news week, so let me get you up to speed 👇
Today marks three years since six employees were murdered at a Walmart in Chesapeake, Virginia.
My heart is with the victims, their loved ones, and all those impacted by this senseless tragedy.
Congress must enact stronger gun laws — like mandatory waiting periods — to save lives.
I have one message to Virginians and Americans: I never back down from a fight. Not now, not ever.
This is not the first time the president has attacked me, and it won’t be the last.
But let’s be clear about what he’s trying so hard to distract from: his disturbing phone call with the Saudi Crown Prince after the murder of journalist and Virginia resident Jamal Khashoggi.
I’ll save President Trump and Secretary Hegseth some time: I never took a dime from a Ukrainian citizen or government entity, directly or indirectly.
I followed the law and properly complied with all relevant regulations.
This week, I demanded the release of a 2019 phone call transcript between President Trump and MBS.
This obviously touched a nerve.
The very next day, the Trump admin spewed lies to silence and intimidate me.
It’s not going to work.
I reviewed a call between President Trump and the Saudi Crown Prince after the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Today, his widow joined me at the U.S. Capitol to call on President Trump to release the transcript of that call.
🎧 Hear from Hanan Elatr Khashoggi yourself:
I'm pressuring Trump to release the transcript of his call with MBS.
As I said on Meet the Press, the American people deserve to know what was said on that call. Checkmate, Mr. President.
I was honored to stand with Hanan Elatr Khashoggi to call on Trump to release the transcript of his call with MBS following the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
I reviewed this call while serving as a lawyer on Trump’s National Security Council — and the public deserves to see what was said.
🚨TODAY AT 11 AM:
Watch my press conference with Hanan Elatr Khashoggi — the wife of murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi — on c-span.org.
We demand full public disclosure of Trump's call with MBS following the murder of her husband.
