Rep. Bobby Scott

I confronted Trump’s OMB Director about the Big Ugly Bill adding $4T to the deficit. I also asked him if the Trump Administration intended to leave a better budget deficit than the one they inherited from the Biden Administration. His response (or lack thereof) is telling.

I attended the Chesapeake Mayor’s Commission on Veterans Memorial Day Ceremony and had an opportunity to extend condolences to Mrs. Shah Her late husband, Lt. Col. Brandon A. Shah, courageously defended his students during the March terror attack at Old Dominion University

On this Memorial Day, let us remember and honor the memory of the brave men and women who sacrificed to defend this nation and preserve our freedom

I had an opportunity this evening to congratulate Jack Sigler on his retirement from the U.S. Navy Thank you Jack for your dedication and for your contributions to our national security

The Peninsula Youth Jazz Band had a great concert today with Stan's Big Band The joint performance featuring these talented young musicians included arrangements of music by Count Basie, Stevie Wonder, Roberta Flack, Trombone Shorty and other popular musicians

Enjoyed accompanying Mayor Shannon Glover as we greeted constituents at the 34th Umoja Festival in Portsmouth The annual event celebrates African and African-American culture through live music, cuisine and traditional art

There’s a lot of excitement in Newport News about the Noodle Festival I had a chance to stop by the Noodlesphere this afternoon to check out the “Big Thinking” sessions, which include conversations between city leaders, artists, scientists and entrepreneurs

Enjoyed great seafood and great company this evening at the Hampton History Museum’s Dockside Seafood Fest It was especially nice to see legendary longtime Hampton High football coach Mike Smith

I joined Mayor Jimmy Gray and Hampton City officials at the Ribbon-Cutting for the revitalized Queens Way Corridor in Downtown Hampton The transformation will enhance walkability as patrons shop, go to restaurants or attend the weekly Block Party in the summer

Across this country, more than 100 million workers wake up every day not knowing whether they can afford to care for themselves or a loved one without risking their paycheck or their job. Congress must finally pass the FAMILY Act to establish a national paid leave program.

Right now, Americans are struggling in an economy that isn't working for them. Instead of addressing real issues, Committee Republicans are marking up bills that put culture wars in classrooms and roll back worker protections. Democrats are fighting back. youtube.com/watch?v=o_KSOp…

Workers across Virginia finally have access to paid sick leave and will not have to choose between their health and making ends meet.   This is not only a major win for workers and their families, but also for businesses that depend on healthy employees. virginiamercury.com/2026/05/12/vir……

Instead of focusing on lowering costs or improving the lives of working families, Donald Trump remains fixated on spending Americans’ tax dollars to build his ballroom.

Combatting hate is a moral imperative. Unequal treatment leads to unequal outcomes, especially in health care. Democrats remain committed to pursuing real solutions to expand access to affordable, high quality care. 🔗: youtube.com/live/2bS06x10g…

Good to attend the Virginia Peninsula Chamber’s State of the Military event and discuss the critical role our servicemembers and local military installations play in strengthening our national security and the Hampton Roads economy.

The RISE rule eliminates affordable repayment options for millions of borrowers and will limit students' opportunities. I led a letter with nearly 90 colleagues opposing it,  and I'll fight in Congress to repeal it. democrats-edworkforce.house.gov/media/press-re…

My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their loved ones. We must do everything possible to end gun violence, Islamophobia, and all forms of hate.

The Workforce Pell final rule could expand access to short-term workforce training, helping Americans gain in-demand skills, and access greater economic opportunity.   Strong oversight and accountability will be critical to ensure high-quality programs.

RM @BobbyScott is sounding the alarm over HHS's refusal to cooperate with an investigation into DOGE's access to sensitive data. HHS claims it won't cooperate due to 'potential discrepancies' between what it shared in litigation vs. what it shares with the investigation.

The weather was perfect for a visit to the Norfolk Greek Festival I enjoyed catching up with old friends and visiting with constituents
