Shomari Figures announced funding to support infrastructure along Interstate 65 and bolster the technology sector during a press conference with local leaders. #alpolitics

This is extraordinary news. A big thank you to all the advocates who spoke out on Mr. Burton’s behalf. And thank you to Gov. Ivey for seeing reason and doing the right thing.

The President has America on the brink of war, and is doing so again without Congressional approval. Using our military to seek a regime change is war. Period. Congress - and only Congress - has the authority to declare war under our Constitution.

I met with the team at Vets Recover to learn more about their mission and the phenomenal work they’re doing for veterans here in South Alabama.

I recently had the chance to meet with the cardiovascular team at Mobile Infirmary, tour their facility, and discuss the innovative work they are doing and the critical issues impacting healthcare in Alabama.

Crenshaw County — thank you for a great community conversation on the most important issues facing the 2nd District and my efforts to deliver for you in Washington. A special thanks to State Senator Kirk Hatcher for joining us.

Started the day off right yesterday by visiting Tuskegee University, where I got to meet some of the incredible students and faculty.

Crenshaw County, I'll see you tonight for a Community Conversation featuring State Senator Kirk Hatcher at 6 pm. You won't want to miss this!

Grateful to the team at the Walmart Distribution Center in Brundidge for giving us a tour of the facility and sharing the work they do every day to keep the shelves stocked across our community.

Enjoyed my visit to @troyuniversity.bsky.social, where they are preparing our students well for promising careers in STEM.

Enjoyed my tour of PowerSouth's Lowman Energy Center facility in Leroy, AL, to see firsthand the work they're doing to keep our communities powered.

Join us tomorrow at 10 am at Bullock County High School for the Bullock County Resource Summit.

Happy New Year!

From my family to yours, Happy Holidays!

Working hard with @repscfigures.bsky.social and my @houseagdems.bsky.social colleagues for a Farm Bill that supports American farmers, producers, and hardworking families.

Happy Thanksgiving! Wishing each of you a day full of family, friends, food, and football! I'm thankful every single day for the opportunity to represent Alabama’s District 2 in Congress!

Excited that students from Spring Hill College visited my office in Washington, DC to discuss the issues they are passionate about. When young people get involved and make their voices heard, our communities are stronger for it.

Truly pathetic that a federal court has to force the Trump Administration to feed less fortunate children, elderly, veterans, and disabled people. A truly sad failure of leadership and compassion. Meanwhile, a $300M White House ballroom is the priority....truly can't make this stuff up.

Enjoyed visiting and learning more about Hooks Lake Port in Washington County. This is what my work on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee is all about: supporting the infrastructure and industries that are critical to our District.

Had the chance to spend some time with Alabama’s future workers at the Montgomery Academy For Career Technologies. These kids will come out of high school ready for college or to start a career! This is what workforce development looks like!

Join me for a community conversation in Troy this evening, Wednesday, October 15, at 6:00 pm CT at Academy Street High School. I will be discussing the government shutdown and its impact on the community. I look forward to seeing you all there!

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. This shutdown is the result of their failure.

September is #SickleCellAwarenessMonth. Today I spoke on the House floor to acknowledge the patients, advocates, and healthcare workers who are fighting this disease every day.

Today, we celebrate the 78th birthday of the U.S. Air Force. Thank you to everyone who has served and continues to serve our country. I also want to celebrate the Tuskegee Airmen whose heroism shaped history and the Air Force into what it is today. 📷: Maxwell Air Force Base & National Park Service

Join my team in Crenshaw County for mobile office hours Thursday from 12-3 pm CT. If you need assistance with a federal matter, come and learn more about how we can serve you.

Today is #NationalVoterRegistrationDay, Alabama! Now is a good time to check your information or get registered. Visit www.sos.alabama.gov/alabama-vote... for more details.

My office has been in touch with Alabama State University and we will continue monitoring the situation. Keeping our students safe is the top priority. Local, state, and federal law enforcement are investigating these threats and actively looking for those responsible.

Every witness I questioned today at the House Ag subcommittee hearing on SNAP confirmed that Trump’s big, ugly bill gives states the power to cut off federal food assistance for everyone if the state does not cover the cost share. 
 A very sad day in America.

Calling all high school seniors! Are you interested in attending a U.S. Service Academy? Join us on October 1 at 6 p.m. CT to learn more about the application process.

Tune in at 4 PM ET to the House floor to see me pushing for passage of transportation bills ranging from improving mental health for pilots to creating a plan to address supply chain needs at ports, railroads, and trucking companies.  www.youtube.com/watch?v=36Yy...

I couldn't miss the first ever night game at Tuskegee University this weekend. Great game, Golden Tigers!

Thank you, President Mohler and trustees for stopping by today. As a proud University of Alabama alum, I’m excited about your vision for the university and the opportunities ahead for the entire UA community. Roll Tide!

Big news today! @transportdems passed the FEMA Reform Act, which includes my bipartisan bill to make disaster relief funding more accessible. This is a major step forward for the people in my district and other communities across the country. Check the link in my bio to see the full press release.

Today, we celebrate America's workers - the backbone of this nation. I admire and respect those who are working hard to provide for themselves and their families. From our union members to our small business owners and entrepreneurs, we celebrate you, and the contributions you make to our country!

f you don’t know who Shomari Figures is, you owe it to yourself to stop what you’re doing and watch our Substack Live. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Montgomery, I want to hear from you! Please join me tomorrow at 6 p.m. for a town hall meeting at Resurrection Catholic School.

So happy to have Amtrak back in the Port City, as this new route will transport passengers between Mobile and New Orleans. Special thank you to @RepRickLarsen for coming down to celebrate with us in the Second Congressional District of Alabama.

Join me for a town hall meeting in Montgomery at 6:00 pm CT on Tuesday at the Resurrection Catholic School. Check out the flyer for more information.

I had a great time with Project Inspire and the Dumas Wesley Community Center. District 2 is full of incredible organizations working to keep our communities safe, and I'm extremely proud of all the work they’re doing.

Yesterday marked the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and its impact cannot be overstated. I joined the @splcenter.org last night to reflect on the battle for voting rights and discuss the urgent fight we are in now to ensure fair representation for all Americans.

A special thank you to the Mobile Chamber for having me at Forum Alabama to talk about how I’m working in Washington to deliver results back home.
