PFC Desmond T. Doss was an American hero, saving dozens of lives in WWII. I’m proud to have helped pass a bill to rename the Lynchburg VA clinic after him to honor his bravery and service and inspire future Virginians to follow his footsteps. wset.com/news/local/l...

Virginia, I’m honored and grateful to serve you again in the 119th Congress. I will continue to fight for a brighter future for everyone in the great Commonwealth I’m lucky to call home. Let's get to work!
Something exciting has happened this year already! Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, Americans on Medicare now have a $2,000 annual cap on their combined, total out-of-pocket costs for covered drugs. Learn more here:

Adam Oakes was a first-year student at VCU who tragically lost his life to fraternity hazing. No family should go through what the Oakes family has, which is why I’m proud President Biden signed my Stop Hazing Campus Act into law to help prevent hazing and save lives.
In case you missed it: Micron is investing billions in Manassas, creating hundreds of jobs and ensuring Virginia remains a leader in semiconductor manufacturing. I’m proud to have helped pass the CHIPS Act to make this historic funding possible. virginiamercury.com/briefs/micro...
I saw up close the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene and worked to secure significant resources to help Virginians get back on their feet—including by restoring the Creeper Trail, which is critical to the local economy. heraldcourier.com/news/local/f...
Wishing everyone a fun and safe New Year’s Eve!
It’s hard to believe 2024 is almost over. As I reflect on the past year, I want to take some time to celebrate some of what we’ve been able to accomplish together, from bills that became law to historic investments in Virginia:

Happy birthday, Elizabeth Carr! Your 1981 birth in Norfolk—the first IVF birth in the U.S.—offered a beacon of hope to families who have grown their families through IVF in the years since. It was my honor to have you as my SOTU guest and join you in your IVF access advocacy.
Wishing everyone a joyous and meaningful Kwanzaa!
Happy Hanukkah! I wish all celebrating a joyous festival of lights.
Merry Christmas to all celebrating!
Virginia’s firefighters, police officers, and other dedicated public servants deserve the full Social Security benefits they’ve earned. That’s why I’m glad that the Senate passed the Social Security Fairness Act, legislation I cosponsored, to help deliver on that principle.
Gabriella Miller was a courageous Virginian who gave her all to advocating for pediatric cancer research. I’m honored to have worked with her family & Rep. Wexton to pass a bipartisan bill to reauthorize a pediatric cancer research program I helped created in her honor in 2014. youtu.be/kOMM0m-qSO4
The House rejecting a bipartisan budget deal puts us within hours of shutdown. One consequence—the legal authorities for federal law enforcement agencies to detect and mitigate malicious drones expire. Big mistake! Keep government open.
We reached a bipartisan budget deal that included funding for a kids cancer research program I helped establish 10 years ago. But Musk/Trump oppose it. They want to cut kids cancer research to open up room for a massive tax giveaway for the rich. Heartless! www.thebulwark.com/p/elon-musk-...
Some good news: Congress passed a bipartisan water infrastructure bill that contains key provisions for VA I helped secure that will support local oyster recovery, strengthen our coastal resiliency, and improve recreational access to VA’s waterways.

Millions of Americans plan to travel in the next week so they can spend the holidays with their loved ones—and they should be able to. But if the government shuts down, there’s a looming threat of flight delays and long wait times at airports. We must avoid a painful shutdown.
Virginians know how painful and costly government shutdowns can be. It is imperative that we fund the government in a bipartisan way that includes aid for communities that have been ravaged by natural disasters before the Friday deadline.
Gender-based violence is an urgent human rights issue. That’s why I introduced legislation to mitigate violence in the Western Hemisphere—including intimate partner violence, sexual assault, femicide, and sex and labor trafficking—and hold perpetrators accountable.
