Scott Ruskan is an American hero.
Leading his team to rescue hundreds during this tragic disaster showed courage and dedication to duty. He exemplified the heart of the U.S. Coast Guard's mission.
As a proud veteran: thank you.

I led 54 of my colleagues in a letter urging the restart of munitions shipments to Ukraine — and I'm glad to see some weapons are finally moving again.
The only way to end this war is to increase pressure on Putin to negotiate a peace acceptable to all parties.
A vet in my district had to postpone a lung screening and drive to Richmond because the new VA center in FXBG doesn't have enough staff.
I am very concerned about how cutting 30,000 staff will affect care for the 72,000 veterans in VA-07.
The Administration needs to brief Congress immediately.
I sent a letter to Secretary Hegseth demanding clarification of his testimony before the House Armed Services Committee.
Evidence shows there was a pause in cyber operations against Russia — but Secretary Hegseth told Congress otherwise.
The American people deserve answers.
Republicans voted to rip health care away from 300,000 Virginians, cut vital food assistance like SNAP, and shutter rural hospitals.
Why did they vote for this chaos and cruelty? To give tax breaks to their ultra wealthy friends, of course.
I'm thankful to the law enforcement officers who acted quickly and bravely to stop a heavily armed shooter in McAllen, Texas.
Wishing a full and speedy recovery to the officer injured while at work doing his job.
Violence like this has no place in our society.
Absolutely devastating. I am thinking of the families and children who have been hurt and lost their loved ones in this terrible storm.
Thank you to the first responders and law enforcement who are still working to locate those who remain missing.
That’s why I voted no — twice. This tax bill raises costs on American families when we need to do the opposite. I’ll keep standing up for families because they deserve lower costs and peace of mind – not this constant chaos. 5/5
I didn’t come to Congress to sit idly by while children lose access to care, seniors go hungry, and veterans are denied lifesaving services. And I certainly didn’t come here to help billionaires get richer while hardworking families get kicked to the curb. 4/5
It rips health care away from 17 million Americans, including over 300,000 Virginians, and slashes food assistance for families already struggling to put dinner on the table. All to fund more tax breaks for their ultra-wealthy friends. 3/5
I don’t know how my colleagues sleep soundly after voting for a bill that will cost people their lives. 2/5
The economy is struggling and costs are out of control. Meanwhile, extreme Washington Republicans just voted to make sure 3-year-old Luka, my constituent who relies on Medicaid, has a much harder life – it’s just cruel. 1/5
Yesterday, I had a great conversation with King George County Sheriff Chris Giles.
We discussed how I can best push for federal support to help officers do their jobs safely and effectively. Thank you for all you do to protect our neighbors!
61 years ago today, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 became law — a landmark step toward equality in America. We’ve come a long way, but the fight for justice and equality continues.
I am furious. The decision to pause critical U.S. weapons shipments — including Patriot missiles and artillery — puts Ukrainian lives and territory at risk.
The Ukrainian people are fighting fiercely against Putin’s invasion. We must ensure our partners have what they need in their fight.
Last summer, the Fredericksburg Regional Food Bank served more than 197,000 meals to families in the region. Thank you for all you do to make sure kids in rural communities receive healthy meals when school is out of session.
17 million Americans — 300,000 of them Virginians — stand to lose their health care as a result of Trump’s cruel budget that just passed the Senate.
This budget is a disaster for hard working families in Virginia and across the United States.
I will vote NO when it comes back to the House.
I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if I voted to rip health care away from 17 million Americans.
Apparently, some of my colleagues can.
I voted NO on Trump’s budget the first time it came to the House — and I’ll do it again.
Congratulations to Sharon Gregory for being named Virginia’s Adapted P.E. Teacher of the Year!
I appreciate your dedication to helping children with special needs participate in organized sports and exercise.
Thank you for your years of service.
Right now, the Senate is voting on a dangerous bill that slashes Medicaid and SNAP — all to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
It puts the richest of the rich over hardworking families in Virginia and across the country.
I won’t stop fighting for working people.
