Thank you to USW Local 8888! Workers’ Memorial Day is a reminder of the toll of workplace illness and injury. In 2022 alone, over 3.5 million workers were injured or made sick because of their jobs.

The rampant sexual assault that took place at FCI Dublin is unacceptable & the survivors deserve justice. I joined Rep. Bobby Scott in calling on U.S. Department of Justice to fully enforce the Prison Rape Elimination Act to make sure these women have the support services they need.

Congratulations to Portsmouth Councilman RADM (Ret.) Mark A. Hugel on being named 2024 First Citizen of Portsmouth at the Portsmouth Service League Award Dinner

The Child Tax Credit gave families unprecedented economic security – helping them afford basics like groceries or new school shoes for their children.

How did the Child Tax Credit help your family?

Proud to have secured $1.3 million in community project funding for the City of Hampton! This funding will boost resilience in Hampton and reduce flood risk.

I can't believe I have to say this, but arming teachers does not make students safe.

This is an extremely dangerous precedent that could have fatal consequences.

Happy Earth Day, folks!

Today, I’m reminded of the work we must do to protect our planet for future generations.

I’m also reminded of the historic progress we’ve already made — building a cleaner, healthier planet for every American.

And we’re just getting started.

Very honored to salute my fellow veterans during the Virginia Arts Fest International Tattoo. This year’s theme is “A Celebration of Freedom,” marking the 80th Anniversary of the D-Day landing and 75th Anniversary of the Founding of NATO

As a co-chair of the U.S. - Philippines Friendship Caucus, I had a number of good meetings with Ambassador Jose Romualdez, Speaker Martin Romualdez and other Filipino representatives this week.

I led my Virginia colleagues in calling on U.S. Postal Service to ensure the secure delivery of election mail.

After reports that local election officials are advising voters against using USPS to mail in their ballots, we want to ensure everyone can participate in the electoral process.

RM Rep. Bobby Scott: “We should not put on political theater or seize this tragedy and its aftermath as an opportunity to grandstand. Rather, we need to recenter this conversation around our obligation to provide all students with a safe learning environment.”
