The Patrick Leahy Farm to School Program supports local farmers, provides important nutrition education, and gets healthy food to Virginia students.
I joined 38 of my colleagues in demanding answers as to why the USDA cut this vital program.

My team was honored to present a letter of congratulations to King George County Chief Judge Willis at new county courthouse ribbon cutting ceremony.
Thank you for inviting my office to participate in the celebration!
At my roundtable in Fredericksburg, local leaders shared success stories of ending phone-use in classrooms.
One stuck with me: a student told the superintendent, “You all got it right this time.”
Phone-free classrooms are making a difference — and my UNPLUGGED Act will help more schools get there.
🚨 I introduced the UNPLUGGED Act to support phone-free classrooms.
We need to restore quality education for our kids.
I’ve heard from Virginia public school leaders that phone-free classrooms help students focus, reduce anxiety, and strengthen connections.
Unelected billionaire Elon Musk broke the law to fire career civil servants, and now taxpayers are footing the bill for his stunt.
This is not government efficiency — it is expensive political theater.
🚨I'm joining my colleagues from Virginia in speaking out against the cancellation of $500 million in funding for food banks and emergency food providers.
These cuts will impact more than 400 pantries and food delivery organizations across the Commonwealth — and I'm pushing back.

You have two weeks to apply for the 2025 Congressional Art Competition for a chance to have your art displayed at the U.S. Capitol!
Last night, my team enjoyed speaking with prospective U.S. Service Academy students at a joint VA-07 and VA-10 information session.
Are you interested in applying to receive a nomination to a U.S. Service Academy from my office?
Stay tuned for applications dropping on May 1.
I was glad to meet with Virginia Commonwealth University President Michael Rao in my Washington, D.C. office.
It was great chatting about the valuable resources and opportunities you strive to make available to VCU students. Thanks for my new swag!
Raising costs for farmers, slamming the door on exports, and driving up grocery bills isn’t smart financial policy — it’s a recipe for disaster.
#OTD in 1949, the NATO Treaty was signed. America’s security depends on strong alliances, and none is more successful than NATO.
To give up the leadership command of NATO would be a grave mistake.
Tariffs do nothing to lower costs for Virginia families.
They raise prices and squeeze our farmers and manufacturers.
We need smart trade policy — not political stunts.
Cutting basic law of war training is not just wrong — it could put soldiers at risk of violating the Geneva Conventions. And scrapping combat medicine training? That will put lives at risk.
This is an incredibly short sighted move.
On Sunday, I attended service at United Faith Christian Ministry in Stafford.
I enjoyed meeting with Bishop Leonard B. Lacey and discussing our shared commitment to service and showing up for those in our communities.
Last week, I enjoyed meeting with Delta 4 Women in Action (D4). We had a great conversation about their work to expand and invigorate the legacy of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, inc.
I appreciated them taking the time to meet with my team and me.
Today marks four years since U.S. Capitol Police officer Billy Evans was killed in the line of duty while protecting our Capitol Building.
We are forever grateful for Billy’s heroism. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones.
Extreme Washington Republicans are as cruel as they are chaotic: slashing essential services, targeting federal workers, and handing out massive tax cuts to the rich — all while the economy sputters and everyday Virginians and Americans pay the price.
I joined @beyer.house.gov and @repsuhas.bsky.social in speaking with high school seniors from Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology.
I was so impressed by these bright young Virginia students — and I was glad to take their questions on the steps of the U.S. Capitol Building.
Last week, I welcomed Ronnie Hobbs from SMART — the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers — to my office on Capitol Hill.
It was great to discuss our shared priorities of fairness in the workplace and opportunity for all working families.
