83 years ago, the attack on Pearl Harbor shook our nation. We must honor the men and women who served during WWII, and protect the world they bravely fought to create. The partnerships and alliances that they enabled are critical to our national security and must be preserved and strengthened.

Lead-based paint has been banned for decades, but millions in older homes are still at risk. It’s time to change that, which is why I'm glad over $1.4 million in federal funding is coming to Virginia to address this hazard—building on $11.6 million in funding I announced in Oct.

This National Miners Day, we honor our miners who for generations have risked their lives to power our nation. They deserve our full support, which is why I’m proud to have helped save their pensions and health care coverage and protect black lung benefits.

More good news for our economy: this is our 47th consecutive month of job growth—the third longest streak on record. That’s thanks in part to new good-paying jobs in manufacturing and health care. Let’s keep it up.

Prescription drug costs can add up fast. That’s why my colleagues and I tackled the issue head on by passing legislation to allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices and cap prescription drug costs at $2,000 under Medicare, putting money back into their pockets.

I am heartened that my bipartisan bill to honor the courageous diplomats who took serious risks to save Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe has now been passed by Congress and is heading to President Biden’s desk for signature—a small but important step in honoring their memory.

No one should have to drive for hours to fill a prescription or be forced to go without critical medicines. That’s why I introduced bipartisan bills to curb drug shortages—so Virginians like Wendy never need to worry if they can get their meds. virginiamercury.com/2024/12/04/k...

I’m excited we’re making progress on Dulles International Airport’s new Concourse E, which will expand flights and make traveling to and from the airport more convenient. I’ve been proud to secure federal funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to support this project.
