This week, I visited Eugene Triplett's fifth-generation family farm in Culpeper.
As the only Virginian on the Ag Committee, I was honored to visit his farm, hear his story, and discuss how I'm working to save programs that help him sell produce to local churches and schools.

Fentanyl is the primary driver of drug overdose deaths in Virginia.
Congress must take action to get fentanyl off of our streets. It's not too late to turn the tide on this crisis that is devastating communities across our Commonwealth and our country.

The protests in Iran are inspiring to those who value freedom and human rights around the world.
The Persian people have a rich history and culture that has been squelched for 46 years by a fundamentalist theocracy.
The U.S. must continue to stand with people around the world who seek freedom.

🚨I'm leading a bill with Rep. Dan Crenshaw to stop the online sale of counterfeit pills and illicit drugs laced with fentanyl.
This bipartisan bill will help law enforcement identify the platforms, tactics, and loopholes being exploited to protect families and prevent more senseless deaths.

Niva from Spotsylvania County is one of many Virginians impacted by the Republican affordability crisis.
She and her husband — a Marine veteran — work hard to support themselves and pay their taxes.
But with utility bills and energy costs rising, they are feeling the squeeze. It’s unacceptable.

After thoughtful discussion, we made clear that this facility is not welcome among our neighbors.

We are at our best as a nation when we treat everyone with dignity and respect.
That’s why I oppose the proposed ICE "mega-detention center" in Stafford. We can have secure borders without being cruel to our neighbors.

Thanks to the great work of my Virginia colleague @kaine.senate.gov, we are one step closer to reigning in the Trump administration’s unilateral actions abroad.
It’s time for the House to follow the Senate and pass a war powers resolution. The American people do not want a war with Venezuela.

The President’s lies are inflaming a volatile situation. Local law enforcement needs to immediately conduct an investigation and ensure accountability.
