Trump claims his actions in Venezuela were aimed at stopping drug trafficking — yet the emphasis on seizing Venezuela’s oil resources suggests a different priority.   
  
False justifications for military action risk dragging the country into another costly conflict that echoes the mistakes of Iraq.

I’m grateful to have had the help of two wonderful interns in the D.C. office this winter.  

Thank you, Andrea and Timothy, for your excellent work on behalf of Virginia’s Seventh District!

I was proud to host a global maternal health roundtable with the Southern Black Girls and Women’s Consortium at Mary Washington Hospital alongside community leaders, providers, and elected officials. 

Thank you to everyone who shared their insights on how we can strengthen maternal health care.

Congratulations to my ‘Constituent of the Week’, Christine Culberson, on being named teacher of the year by the Virginia Business Educators Association.

Her work reflects the innovation flourishing in Spotsylvania County Schools. Thanks for all you do!

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.

This week, our team was honored to attend the Fredericksburg City Council Oath of Office and swearing-in ceremony.
 
Congratulations to the newly sworn-in City Council members as they begin their terms serving our community.

I recently met with community leaders to hear their valuable perspectives on the proposed Stafford ICE facility.   

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

WEDNESDAY: My constituent service and legislative teams are hosting virtual drop-in office hours!     

Do you have an issue with a federal program or agency — like Social Security, Medicare, or the VA — that you need help getting resolved?     

Stop by and chat with my team!

Last month, I had the pleasure of visiting the University of Mary Washington to speak with Professor Singh’s Political Science 101 class.   

It's always inspiring to connect with the next generation of leaders!

15 years ago today, former Representative Gabby Giffords was wounded in a horrific act of political violence when a gunman opened fire at a public event in Tucson, Arizona.
 
In Congress, I’m dedicated to uplifting her mission by working to make our communities safer through commonsense gun reform.

Like President Bush, President Trump LIED to the American people.

I served in Iraq. My brother was wounded there. I know firsthand that wars are easy to start and extraordinarily difficult to end. 

That's why I joined my colleagues in the House Democratic Veterans Caucus to make our message clear: the American people do not want a war in Venezuela.

On January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman bravely diverted an angry mob of rioters away from lawmakers inside the Capitol.  

In the face of danger, Officer Goodman heroically carried out his duties, likely saving many lives.

We can have secure borders without being cruel, and the proposed ICE facility in Stafford would be cruel to the core, counter to the desires of our neighbors.

We need to fight it, and I’ll do that every day in Congress.

Last night, I attended a candlelight vigil with Congressional Democrats to commemorate the fifth anniversary of January 6.   

May we never forget the tragedies of that day — the assault on our democratic processes, the injuries suffered by more than 140 law enforcement officers, and the lives lost.
January 7, 2026 at 4:10 PM
Officer Daniel Hodges responded to the attack on the Capitol, where he was assaulted and beaten.   

Today, Officer Hodges continues to serve the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department to defend our democracy. I am thankful for his service.

Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick defended Congress from a violent mob on January 6, 2021. After being attacked by rioters, Officer Sicknick passed away the following night.  

My thoughts are with Officer Sicknick’s loved ones and all of the brave first responders who defended our Capitol.
January 6, 2026 at 7:18 PM
Today marks five years since a violent mob attacked the U.S. Capitol. I’m grateful for the brave law enforcement officers who stepped up in defense of democracy.  
 
May we recommit to defending our democratic principles — and never forget the sacrifices made to uphold them.

As we ring in the New Year, I’m wishing all Virginians a happy and safe start to 2026.

May the year ahead bring health, happiness, and meaningful time with loved ones.

I’m proud of what my team and I have accomplished in our first year serving Virginians in Congress — and we’re just getting started.

Here are a few highlights from the work we’ve done on your behalf.

This past year, I’ve had the privilege of serving you and our community in Congress.

As we wrap up 2025, I want you to know that every day, my focus is on delivering real results for Virginia families.
December 27, 2025 at 12:33 AM
In my first year in office, my team and I returned more than $4.2 million to the people of VA-07!

As we head into the new year, please don’t hesitate to reach out to my office if you or a loved one needs assistance working with a federal agency.
