Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project is now providing clean, reliable energy to Virginians. I look forward to continue growing Virginia’s clean energy economy.

I had a great time stopping by the East End Civic Association Quarterly Empower U. Town Hall this evening in Newport News, where residents were encouraged to engage city leaders in a direct and thoughtful discussion about community issues

In the wide ranging discussion, I shared my views on several topics that were relevant to the largely student audience, including my no vote on the reckless war in Iran, making concrete reforms to ICE and ensuring that higher education is more accessible, affordable and fair

This afternoon on the campus of CNU, I had the pleasure of participating in a Conversation with the Honorable William C. Mims, a former member of the Virginia General Assembly, former Virginia Supreme Court Justice and presently the Pre-Law Program Director at CNU

16 years ago, @BarackObama signed the Affordable Care Act. Millions gained coverage, and people with pre-existing conditions are now protected. I held a roundtable on the GOP’s Big, Ugly Bill and their refusal to extend ACA tax credits. Virginians need healthcare, not warfare.

Sixteen years ago today, the Affordable Care Act gave millions of Americans a real chance at affordable, reliable health care. Coverage expanded, protections strengthened, and lives changed—but our work isn’t done. Democrats are committed to pushing that progress forward.

Donald Trump is making it clear that he is the one preventing TSA from being funded, and is responsible for TSA workers being forced to work without pay.

Last evening, I attended the ForKids Annual Art event, which generated proceeds to support their mission of providing emergency shelter, housing assistance and rehousing services to families in the Hampton Roads region

I was honored to congratulate members of the Newport News Shipbuilding Apprentice School Class of 2025 during today’s Commencement These graduates completed thousands of hours of on-the-job training and trade coursework, which will assist them in becoming skilled shipbuilders

I enjoyed being in attendance last evening as Paul Hirschbiel, Akhil Jain, T. Richard Litton, Jr., and Ray Wittersheim were inducted as the 2026 Class of the Hampton Roads Business Hall of Fame, for their outstanding contributions on behalf of students in this community

Joining my House Democratic colleagues on the House steps. Congress must pass legislation to fund TSA, FEMA, and all of the Department of Homeland Security except ICE and the Trump deportation machine. We fund these other agencies as we negotiate reforms to rein in ICE.

Earlier today, my colleagues from the Virginia Congressional Delegation joined me on the House Floor for a moment of silence to honor the life of Lt. Col. Brandon Shah, and to demonstrate support for the Old Dominion University community. Today, we are all Monarch Strong.

🚨Virginia — There is potential for strong, damaging winds and tornadoes across much of the Commonwealth today. Please review safety tips from @VDEM and keep your family safe amid this storm.

When workers come together to bargain, they earn higher wages, better benefits and safer workplaces. And veterans benefit from a VA staffed by workers who are well-compensated, properly trained and who work in a safe environment

I was horrified to learn of the violent tragedy that occurred at Old Dominion University this morning. I am thankful for the first responders who were able to neutralize the shooter before they could perpetrate any further violence.   While we are still gathering the facts of the situation, my thoughts are with the victims and their families. Everyone should feel safe in their communities and students should feel safe on campus.  We must do everything we can to prevent these all-too-common tragedies of gun violence.

I had a great evening with basketball fans of all ages as the MEAC Conference Men’s and Women’s Tournaments kicked off today in Norfolk

It was a pleasure to address members of the Newport News Bar Association this evening at the Monthly Membership Meeting. I gave a comprehensive update on several pressing legal issues, including the Trump Administration’s assault on due process, civil rights and voting rights

Last evening, I attended the World Council of Hampton Roads Democracy Series, which featured NPR White House Correspondent Tamara Keith Her presentation, “Democracy Depends on Trust in the Press,” examined the relationship between journalism, public trust and democratic resilience

Five years ago today, Democrats passed the American Rescue Plan Act into law to help rebuild our economy after the first Trump Administration's failed response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Watch Ranking Member @BobbyScott break down how ARPA helped students, workers, and families.

I gave remarks today during the Old Dominion University Maritime Conference, where I stressed the need to work together to advance the future of shipbuilding and ship repair through industry collaboration, innovation and workforce development initiatives
