Gun violence has touched too many families, schools, and communities across our country. On #GunViolenceAwarenessDay, we remember those we've lost, stand with survivors, and recommit ourselves to finding common ground on solutions that save lives and keep our communities safe.

The American people deserve to know their elected officials are working for them, not auditioning for their next job. That's why I'm leading a bill to ban Members of Congress from lobbying their former colleagues after leaving office. Public service should be about serving the American people.

Today, I joined a bipartisan majority of my colleagues to tell President Trump what the Constitution already does: The president does not get to wage war by decree. It’s long past time to end this costly war in Iran.

Diesel prices are driving up the cost of groceries, utilities, and everyday essentials for hardworking families across Virginia. That’s why I introduced a bill to pause the federal diesel tax through January 2027 and help bring costs down for families, truckers, farmers, and small businesses.

As a former legal advisor on the National Security Council, I am appalled by the decision to make Bill Pulte Acting DNI. The President has chosen someone with no national security experience to lead our intelligence community. I am deeply concerned about this nomination.

Hardworking Virginians deserve reliable and affordable utility service. Endless rate hikes with little explanation or oversight are unacceptable. Utility companies must be held accountable when families are forced to pay more month after month.

Too many families are opening their utility bills and wondering how they are supposed to keep up. We need commonsense reforms that put consumers first, increase transparency, and ensure utility companies cannot continue passing unchecked costs onto working people.

🗳It’s official! I am humbled to share that I will be the Democratic nominee for Virginia’s Seventh District this November. I will continue our fight to take on corruption, deliver real results, and make life more affordable for every Virginian.

I’m leading a bill to ban Members of Congress and their immediate families from using prediction markets. The American people should never have to wonder whether lawmakers are using insider information to profit off the issues they oversee.

Working families are struggling to keep up with the cost of groceries, gas, rent, and utility bills. For the President of the United States to shrug that off and say he “doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation” is deeply out of touch.

Outrageous and appalling comments. Yesterday, Jen Kiggans endorsed comments that Hakeem Jeffries should get his “cotton-picking hands off of Virginia.” This vile, bigoted language is beneath an elected official. Virginia’s Second District deserves better. Let's elect Elaina Luria this November.

Happy Mother’s Day! To every mom, grandmother, and mother figure, I hope today is filled with joy and time spent with loved ones. I am especially thankful for my wife Cindy today. Our family is so lucky to have you!

My statement on the Virginia Supreme Court’s ruling to overturn a voter-approved congressional redistricting plan to push back on Donald Trump’s efforts to rig the 2026 midterms:

Virginia families shouldn’t pay more just because utility monopolies say so. I’m pushing for stronger oversight and real consumer protections to keep bills affordable.

Too many Virginians feel powerless when energy companies raise rates. I’m fighting for stronger oversight and real accountability so families aren’t stuck paying the price.

Yesterday, it was great to join local leaders for the 26th Sturdivant Awards Brunch celebrating those who’ve made outstanding contributions to Virginia’s labor community. Congratulations to Smitty Connolly, Thomas Ross, Kee Jun, & LaNoral Thomas. Thank you for your continued service to Virginians.

Pete Hegseth has been derelict in his duty as Secretary of Defense. Yesterday, I told him that to his face. Doubling down on reprehensible comments after six U.S. service members were killed in Kuwait is disqualifying. Secretary Hegseth must resign.

Profiting off sensitive national security information is unacceptable. I’m leading an effort to crack down on this behavior and protect our service members and the integrity of our operations.

Affordability in Virginia means being able to keep the lights on, put food on the table, and still plan for what’s ahead. That’s what I’m fighting for in Congress every single day.

Virginia families are opening electric bills with dread. I’m working to expand clean, low-cost energy that saves money and protects consumers from unfair rate hikes.

It was great to join Franconia Dems for their Opening Day! Thanks to everyone who came out and is ready to get to work. This is the energy we need to win back the House in November and keep delivering for our communities.

Great work by Virginia State Police getting these lethal drugs and weapons off Virginia’s streets. I am grateful for the dedicated law enforcement professionals across the Commonwealth who work tirelessly to keep Virginians safe.

The president started a redistricting war to rig the midterms in his favor. This week, Virginia dealt him a decisive defeat. This is not the first war the president has started with no strategy, no plan, and no way to finish.

🚨It’s official: I’ve filed to run in Virginia’s First Congressional District. I’m ready to fight to lower costs, stand up to corruption, and deliver for hardworking Virginia families. Let’s get to work.

Donald Trump is claiming yesterday’s election in Virginia was rigged. Let’s be clear: he’s the one who tried to manipulate the midterms with a mid-decade redistricting scheme to lock-in control of the House. Virginians rejected it.

Today, Virginians stood up to Donald Trump’s corruption and demanded a level playing field. I’m proud of the work we’ve done in VA-07, and I’m ready to bring that same fight to VA-01. I’ll work every day to earn your trust and keep delivering for the Commonwealth.

Donald Trump said that if this referendum passes, it will curb his power in Washington. He’s right. It will stop his power grab and restore a level playing field where voters, not politicians, decide our elections. Vote YES by 7pm today.

It’s Election Day in Virginia! I’m out at First Mount Zion Baptist Church in Dumfries greeting voters alongside Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. and Supervisor Andrea Bailey. Polls are open until 7 PM — make your plan, go vote, and vote YES.

Election Day is tomorrow, Virginia. While Trump fuels corruption and chaos, Virginians deserve fair elections and a government that works for them. Make your plan at iwillvote.com and vote YES.

When greedy energy companies raises rates, families pay the price. That’s why I support tougher consumer protections and oversight to ensure rate hikes are fair and justified.

Trump promised to lower costs on Day One. Instead, the self-proclaimed “President of peace” is driving them up with a reckless, illegal war in the Middle East. And now working Americans are paying the price of Donald Trump’s chosen war with Iran.

No one is above the law—especially Members of Congress. I joined my colleagues in calling for immediate, bipartisan action to expedite Ethics Committee investigations and ensure full transparency. Public trust is earned through accountability. It’s time to act.

The president was elected to lower costs and tackle inflation for American families. Instead, most of his policies have done the opposite—driving prices up and making life harder for the very people he promised to help.

Today we remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust—and the millions of others targeted by hate. On Yom HaShoah, we honor their memory and renew our commitment to fight antisemitism, bigotry, and authoritarianism wherever they rise.

The most dangerous thing about this administration isn’t just bad decisions — it’s who’s in the room making them. The president has filled his cabinet with unqualified “yes” men and women. No independence. No accountability. No one willing to speak hard truths.

This weekend, I was out on the campaign trail in Prince William and Fairfax to speak with our neighbors about the importance of showing up to the polls and voting YES to level the playing field. 9 days to get out the vote — let’s do this!

We've been at war for over 40 days. We've been spending an average of $1 billion dollars a day - per the Pentagon. We've spent over $40 billion on this conflict to put ourselves in what is likely a worse geopolitical position than we started thanks to this President.

Proud to have joined @markwarner.bsky.social, @kaine.senate.gov, @staceycarrollva.bsky.social, and FXBG veterans today to discuss the issues this community faces upon returning to civilian life.

Great to join the FXBG Dems monthly meeting to talk redistricting. With the April 21 referendum approaching, this is a defining moment. Proud to stand with you as we work to protect fair maps and ensure every Virginian’s voice is heard.

What we have in front of us is a president that engaged in this conflict with Iran without a plan. He's shooting from the hip. That should concern every American.

Americans are already stretched thin — and now they’re footing the bill for Trump’s war of choice. Higher costs at home.
More instability abroad.
Less security for all of us.

Right now, the President is escalating a war of choice with reckless rhetoric and no clear objective—just chaos and risk for our troops. Republicans must find the courage to join us in ending this before more Americans are put in harm’s way.

I served in Iraq. It was a disaster — a war built on lies for oil. Now Trump isn’t even pretending otherwise. He’s talking about “taking the oil” in Iran and cashing in. We’ve seen where this leads — chaos, instability, and endless war. The American people won’t stand for it. Neither will I.

We have less than a month to get out the vote and pass this critical redistricting amendment that will protect Virginians’ right to vote and put a stop to Trump’s national power grab. No time to waste. Vote YES by April 21.

This is reckless, dangerous rhetoric from Donald J. Trump that puts American lives, our troops, and global stability at risk. Threats and chaos are not foreign policy. We need steady leadership, not incitement to conflict.

Wishing everyone celebrating a happy Easter. A day that many spend with family, reflecting on renewal, hope, and new beginnings — values that bring us together and remind us of the work ahead to build a better future for all.

13 Americans dead. Hundreds injured. Costs rising at home. This war didn’t have to happen — and the leadership behind it has failed. Pete Hegseth has proven, again and again, he is unfit to be Secretary of Defense. Enough is enough. Resign.

Pam Bondi’s time in office will be remembered for one thing: shielding Donald Trump from accountability at every turn. May she learn what too many Trump lackeys have yet to realize: not even blind loyalty can save you.

“We can’t take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare…” That’s the choice he’s making: abandoning working families while funding his war of choice and handing tax breaks to the wealthy. We can take care of our people. He just doesn’t want to.

One year ago, Donald Trump slapped tariffs on American imports — and working families are still paying the price. Tariffs are a tax on the American people. No matter how he spins it, they raise costs and squeeze household budgets — the exact opposite of what folks need.
