After hearing from more than 800 Virginians struggling with rising energy costs, I helped launch the Congressional Lowering Utility Bills Caucus.
While Trump and his rubber-stamp Republicans play political games with people’s pocketbooks, I’m focused on lowering costs for hardworking Americans.

It’s been 23 days since Trump launched an unauthorized war with Iran.
Here at home, gas prices are surging. Utility bills are skyrocketing. Grocery bills keep climbing.
The president should be focused on lowering costs for American families, not dragging us into costly foreign conflicts.
It was an honor to recognize Sheriff Scott Foster on the U.S. House Floor for his 31 years of outstanding service in law enforcement.
His dedication to keeping the Fredericksburg community safe will leave a lasting impact.
Wishing you a happy and well-deserved retirement, Sheriff!
16 years ago, the #AffordableCareAct was signed into law.
The ACA has made a meaningful difference for hundreds of thousands of Virginians by helping to bring down health care costs.
In Congress, I remain committed to protecting this essential law.
I'm backing the Direct File Act to make filing taxes simpler and free for working families.
Americans deserve a free and easy way to file their taxes.
Electricity costs in Virginia have jumped nearly 17% since Trump took office.
Families are feeling it in their monthly bills.
That’s why I helped found the Congressional Lowering Utility Bills Caucus. We need real action to bring energy costs down for Virginians.
Today marks the 61st anniversary of Selma to Montgomery marches — a defining moment in the fight for voting rights.
In 1965, peaceful marchers were attacked while crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
We remember their sacrifice and recommit to protecting the right to vote for all.
Federal employees keep our agencies running, support our communities, and ensure that essential services reach the American people. They are the backbone of our government.
I joined a House Oversight Committee Field Hearing in Fairfax to stand up for the federal workers harmed by DOGE.
Last month, I toured the Villa Community Hub in Dumfries and saw firsthand the impactful work the Villa Advocacy Group is doing to support local moms and families.
I especially enjoyed learning about how their partnership with Postpartum Support Virginia connects families with critical support.
Nitazenes — highly potent synthetic drugs deemed ‘the new fentanyl’ — are devastating communities across Virginia and the United States.
I’m proud to co-lead a bipartisan bill to give law enforcement the tools they need to detect and stop these deadly drugs before they claim more lives.
As Ramadan draws to a close, I extend my warmest wishes for a peaceful and joyful Eid al-Fitr to everyone celebrating across the Commonwealth and around the world. Eid Mubarak!
It was great to join the Reagan Institute’s National Security Innovation Base Summit last week!
I appreciated the forum to discuss how the United States can supercharge our defense industrial base, defend our democratic values, and maintain interoperability with our allies.
The U.S. House passed my bipartisan bill to help more Americans afford a place to live.
By cutting red tape and speeding up responsible development, this bill lowers costs, expands housing options, and helps keep the door to homeownership open.
I enjoyed meeting with members of VFW Post 12202 in King George to discuss the issues affecting our veterans.
As a 25-year Army veteran and member of the House Armed Services Committee, I understand how important it is to ensure veterans receive the care and respect they’ve earned.
I'm ready to fund FEMA, TSA, and the US Coast Guard, but I refuse to provide another dime to ICE until the admin makes commonsense reforms.
That's why I signed Rep. Rosa Delauro's petition to force a vote to pay Virginia's federal workers without signing a blank check for ICE.

Farmers in Virginia and across the country could see planting disrupted as the war in Iran drives up fertilizer costs.
When it costs more to grow food, it costs more to buy food.
First, it was gas prices. Now it’s your grocery bill.
What happened to making life more affordable for Americans?
Under the cover of night, the January 6 plaque was finally installed in the U.S. Capitol.
Instead of placing it where the public can see it, it was tucked away in a basement area that isn’t accessible.
It was clear then and it’s clear now: Speaker Johnson would rather this day be forgotten.
I visited James Monroe High School in Fredericksburg to meet with Superintendent Catlett and Principal Petty to discuss how we can continue supporting students, teachers, and families.
I also stopped by several history classes to hear from students about the issues that matter most to them.
It was wonderful to stop by Gardening Gays Farms in King George to present Dragan and Kevin with a Congressional Record honoring their farm.
As the only Virginian on the Agriculture Committee, I’m especially grateful to producers like Dragan and Kevin, who strengthen our local agriculture economy.
