I condemn all efforts to roll back the progress we have made over the past century. These attacks cannot go unchecked.
I’ll continue working to pursue all avenues to defend the protections that allowed millions of people, including my family, to exercise their right to participate in our democracy.

I’ve fought to expand voting rights for decades, championing legislation in 2021 that made Virginia the first state in the South to adopt its own Voting Rights Act.
Now, we must continue to stand against new challenges to these efforts, and Congress must act to restore the VRA protections gutted.
Today’s ruling makes it nearly impossible to ensure minority voters have a fair opportunity to elect the candidate of their choice.
These attacks pull us farther away from the ideals upon which our nation was founded and undermine progress to achieve a government by, of and for the people.
While Louisiana v. Callais upholds the constitutionality of Section 2, the conservative majority of the Supreme Court leaves it powerless to address racial discrimination.
This blow is the latest step in theeir campaign to erode the VRA, beginning with the 2013 Shelby County v. Holder decision.
My family has felt the weight of voter suppression for generations. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA) changed that for the better when Section 2 banned such voting practices that discriminate on the basis of race or language.
When my great-grandfather registered to vote, he was forced to take a literacy test and find three white men to vouch for his character.
My father and grandfather were forced to pay poll taxes to register to vote.
Today, SCOTUS released a 6-3 decision that guts Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and opens the door for a new wave of unbridled racial gerrymandering.
Here’s why this is personal for me and so many others across our country 🧵
Despite the chaos in Washington with the ongoing war in Iran and the continued partial government shutdown, the House unanimously passed one of my bills, and we continued to hold important hearings on the Energy & Commerce Committee.
Check out what you missed in my latest newsletter.
Now, as Trump’s war of choice drags on in Iran with no clear strategy, the incompetence at the Pentagon is on full display in this latest messy departure from one of the most pivotal positions in this conflict.
The new acting head of the Navy doesn’t inspire confidence in the midst of this crisis.
The Trump Administration filled the Pentagon with political appointees not up to the task of protecting our national interests while firing stellar career military leaders like Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. CQ Brown Jr. and Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George.
Agriculture remains the number one private industry in Virginia. Yet too many family farmers face challenges that price them off the land.
I joined @repgreglandsman.bsky.social to connect retiring farmers with new farmers to keep family farms going from generation to generation.
Happy 118th birthday, U.S. Army Reserve!
Thank you to our citizen-soldiers and reserve leadership for your dedicated service to our nation.
Watch my full remarks here:
Maintaining an independent, well-funded Nuclear Regulatory Commission will keep nuclear reactors efficient and safe. Yet the Trump Administration wants to cut its budget and staff.
During an Energy Subcommittee hearing, I questioned NRC leadership on the importance of maintaining safety standards.
Today, the House lost a fighter for the people of Georgia.
The first Black chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, David Scott’s leadership made him an impassioned voice for making life better and more affordable. I am holding his family, loved ones, staff and community in my prayers.
Watch my full remarks here:
Black women in the United States are three times more likely to die of pregnancy-related complications than white women. Now, federal rollbacks threaten to deepen health inequities.
I anchored a Congressional Black Caucus Special Order Hour to recognize Black Maternal Health Week.
As a state senator, I led the charge to make Virginia the 38th and final state necessary to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment.
Now as Co-Chair of the ERA Caucus with @pressley.house.gov, I’m fighting to ensure the ERA is the law of the land.
