Rural Americans deserve better.
As the only Virginian on the House Agriculture Committee, I’ll keep fighting for our rural communities — so that no one ever has to choose between accessing health care and putting food on the table.
Cindy and I are heartbroken by the news that a Virginia corrections officer was killed and another was injured in the line of duty this morning.
I'm thankful for the corrections officers and law enforcement officials who keep our communities safe.
This week, Congress will vote on releasing the Epstein files. It seems like this is finally becoming a commonsense, bipartisan issue across the House. Good.
I will work with anyone to take on corruption and serve justice.
Thinking of all those impacted by the fires in Culpeper this weekend.
I'm grateful for the Culpeper County Volunteer Fire and EMS departments who selflessly responded to the scene. I'm thankful that no one was hurt.

This is NOT public service.
Last week, Tarazha and Alejandra from my team attended the PWC Chamber–4H Engage Locally event.
It was great to see Virginia students showcasing thoughtful, community-driven projects. I’m excited to support their next steps!
If you’re going to block SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans, you should probably at least know how much a SNAP benefit is worth.
Apparently that’s too much to ask of Secretary Rollins.
Sudan is facing catastrophic shortages of food, water, and medicine.
Twelve million people have been displaced.
The scale of this humanitarian crisis calls for urgent action.
Congratulations to Madison County High School for being named one of the Top 25 schools nationwide in T-Mobile’s Friday Night 5G Lights competition.

As I told @velshimsnbc.bsky.social, Congress must release the aid we’ve already approved and pass the Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025.
November is Rural Health Month. I’m proud to honor the clinics and caregivers in our rural communities who work tirelessly to provide quality care.
Last night, my vote was simple: hell no.
