Father, Husband, Veteran | Congressman proudly representing Virginia’s Seventh District
Our veterans are waiting up to 100 DAYS for primary care at the Fredericksburg VA Health Care Center. I’m leading bipartisan legislation to help ensure the VA fully staffs the Fredericksburg facility and VA health care centers across the country.
I’m glad to announce a $3.2 MILLION investment in Stafford County’s Head Start programs. This funding will help ensure more children have access to high-quality early childhood education, nutritious meals, and the support that sets kids up for long-term success.
Yesterday, I attended a briefing with the Atlantic Council on the outcomes of the recent NATO Summit and the continued effort to support Ukraine. A strong NATO is essential to deterring authoritarian threats, protecting democracy, and advancing peace and stability around the world.
I am proud to recognize Michael Sidebotham as my Constituent of the Week on the U.S. House Floor. Dr. Sidebotham was named to the inaugural class of the Virginia Department of Education's Principals of Distinction. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to education in our community.
It was an honor to welcome the Honorable Han Kuo-yu, President of Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan, and his delegation to Capitol Hill. I was proud to join them in celebrating our shared commitment to freedom, democracy, and the enduring partnership between our countries.
I've heard from hundreds of Virginia veterans like Robert who can't get the care they earned because of delays at the Fredericksburg VA Health Care Center. I'll keep fighting to improve staffing, reduce delays, and ensure every veteran gets the care they need.
Tarazha and Aileen from my team attended the grand opening and ribbon cutting for Inova Juniper Program, Inova Cares for Women, and Inova Cares for Families in Dumfries. I’m looking forward to the positive impact this new facility will have on the health of our community for years to come!
I’m proud that the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act — which includes my bill — became law today. This package will help more Americans afford a home by making it easier to build the housing our communities need. I'm grateful to everyone who worked across the aisle to get this done.
It is an honor to nominate students from VA-07 as they apply for a spot at our nation's service academies. Class of 2031 applications for U.S. service academy nominations are due to my office October 9!
I hear from veterans across my district — like Justin — who can't get the care they need because of staffing shortages and delays at the Fredericksburg VA Health Care Center. It’s unacceptable. That's why I'm leading legislation to hold the VA accountable and get veterans the care they earned.
June was a busy month in both VA-07 and on Capitol Hill. Luckily, we have two new summer Vinterns to recap everything we accomplished in the last month. Check it out! 👇
It was a pleasure to show my 2026 Congressional Art Competition winner, Marilyn, around the U.S. Capitol and visit her artwork on display. Her piece, Jazz & Groceries, will be displayed in the Capitol for the next year. Congratulations, on this well-deserved honor and a job well done!
After Gov. Spanberger and I pushed for action, USDA issued a disaster declaration for Virginia communities impacted by devastating crop losses. Virginia farmers have waited long enough for relief, and this declaration is an important step forward. (1/2)
It was great to join the Culpeper community to celebrate America’s 250th birthday yesterday. Together, we honored the nation’s history and the sacrifices that made independence possible. Thank you to the Culpeper minutemen for their dedication to preserving Culpeper’s history!
I’m proud that my team has returned over $7 MILLION in backlogged tax refunds, Social Security checks, VA benefits, and more to residents in the Seventh District. If you are facing an issue with a federal agency, please reach out to my office. We are here to help!
I’m proud that my Rural Housing Regulatory Relief Act was included in the bipartisan legislative housing package. My bill cuts duplicative regulations that slow housing development, helping get more homes built in rural communities while reducing unnecessary costs.

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is the most significant bipartisan housing legislation in decades. It will help more Americans afford a home by cutting red tape and making it easier to build the housing our communities need. (1/2)

I joined AUVSI, the world’s largest trade association for uncrewed systems, robotics, and autonomous technologies, during their Capitol Hill Day. I appreciated the opportunity to discuss the innovation, workforce development, and policy priorities shaping the future of these critical industries.
I attended a roundtable hosted by Rep. Houlahan to celebrate 50 years of women in the military academies. It was an honor to join a discussion on the progress made over the past five decades and the work that remains to ensure future generations of women have opportunities to lead and serve.
My dad is many things — brave, strong, proud, and, above all, loving. Because of him, I’ve had the opportunity to achieve the American Dream. Happy 94th birthday to my hero. Thank you for everything, Dad.
Farmers across the Commonwealth continue to face the impacts of frost and freeze damage. I look forward to Under Secretary Fordyce keeping his promise and releasing the designation for Virginia this week.
I watched the 12 students in my office's inaugural Youth Mentorship Program put everything they learned into action during their Mock Congress session. These students gained firsthand experience in public service. Congratulations to each of these outstanding young leaders.
This war was unnecessary, plain and simple. Now, the administration is proposing a terrible deal — one that leaves us in a weaker position than we were before the war began. An avoidable war followed by an inadequate peace is not a success. It's a failure of judgment and leadership.
I joined Gov. Spanberger for the ceremonial signing of the Right to Contraception Act and the Contraception Equality Act. As a member of the Congressional Reproductive Freedom Caucus, I'll keep fighting until every American has the freedom to make their own reproductive health care decisions.
It was great to join local leaders and Virginians at the Prince William County Juneteenth and Me celebration! Juneteenth honors the end of slavery and celebrates the freedom, resilience, and contributions of generations of Black Americans. Thank you to everyone who made this celebration special.
🔔TODAY! I hope you'll join my team in Stafford for my office's annual Job & Resource Fair. 🗓️Thursday, June 18 | 🕚2 PM to 5 PM RSVP: tinyurl.com/VA07JobSeeker
🎉NEW GRANT ALERT! I’m proud to have helped secure nearly $1.8 MILLION in Head Start Funding for Orange County Public Schools. This investment will help ensure that young learners and their families can benefit from the high-quality early education and support they need to succeed.
Congratulations to the Forest Park High School Class of 2026! It was an honor to celebrate this important milestone with the graduates and the educators who helped make this achievement possible. Wishing the Class of 2026 continued success as they begin the next chapter of their journeys.
