Each year, I check in with local government officials across Virginia’s Fourth to hear their priorities and discuss how we can partner to address the needs of our constituents.
Last week, I met local officials from Colonial Heights, Hopewell, Petersburg, Surry, Sussex and the Town of Waverly.
This past year, 82 million Americans have had to cut back on daily living expenses to afford health care. Yet Congressional Republicans have continued cutting billions of dollars in Medicare and Medicaid.
The American people do not need costly foreign entanglement: we need affordable health care.
Yesterday, I joined Rep. Bobby Scott and Rep. Jen Kiggans for the annual Navy League of the United States, Hampton Roads Roundtable Luncheon to hear and address concerns of the civilians who support our nation’s sea services at the largest naval base in the world and throughout the Hampton Roads.
With the House in recess, I spent the week in the District meeting with local government leaders, constituents and educators.
Keep watching for more highlights.
