In 2018, the Virginia General Assembly expanded Medicaid on a bipartisan basis, significantly broadening health care access and financial security across the Commonwealth. Rural communities particularly benefited, and over 500,000 Virginians got covered. In 2025, Virginia Republicans in Congress voted for the largest cuts to Medicaid in American history and put eligibility requirements in place designed to kick millions of Americans off their health insurance.   ICYMI, I joined the @ProtectOurCare “Sick of It” Bus Tour in Virginia Beach to highlight how those cuts put 300,000 Virginians and 13 Virginia hospitals at risk.

America has a maternal mortality crisis. The health care cuts in the Republicans’ Big Ugly Law are making it worse. During the @ProtectOurCare “Sick of It” Bus Tour stop in Williamsburg, I explained how.

Early detection saves lives. This #NationalMammographyDay, prioritize your health, schedule your mammogram and stay informed about warning signs of breast cancer.

In Trump’s economy, here are 5 things that aren’t worth the money.

Everyone deserves to access quality health care, when they need it, without going bankrupt.  But Trump and Congressional Republicans have worsened the health care crisis facing too many communities by slashing over $1 trillion from Medicaid to bankroll tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations in their Big Ugly Law.  I joined @RepBobbyScott, state officials, patients and advocates for the @ProtectOurCare “Sick of It” Bus Tour stops in Williamsburg and Virginia Beach to call on Congress to reverse the cuts.

Amidst a cost-of-living crisis that forces millions to pay more for groceries, gas, health care, housing and more, nearly half of Virginia households now can’t get enough to eat. Food assistance organizations can’t meet the growing demand. Meanwhile, the Trump Administration and Congressional Republicans cut food assistance to fund tax breaks for billionaires and support a war of choice in Iran and tariff wars that continue to drive up costs.

Another disturbing example of the Trump Administration weaponizing federal agencies to go after his political enemies… three weeks before an election. You expect this outrageous behavior from fascist dictators. It has no place in American democracy. I stand with @Ilhan.

Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay! Virginia has eleven tribes recognized by the Commonwealth, seven of which are federally recognized. Each has played a pivotal role in shaping our history for thousands of years. Today, we celebrate their rich histories, cultures and traditions.

Title IX is supposed to protect college students from sexual violence. Yet 1 in 4 undergraduate women experience sexual violence. By gutting the Office for Civil Rights and rolling back Title IX protections, the Trump Administration’s Department of Education has failed Jane Doe, Kendall Francis and countless other students whose stories are not in the news. They deserve better. I joined @DemWomenCaucus to call for an investigation into the Department of Education’s failure to enforce Title IX.

I’m back in Henrico County today to announce the final Fiscal Year 2026 Community Project Funding grants! I delivered $250,000 to @Flack4RIC to replace deteriorating pavement and just over $1 million to @HenricoNews to extend county water services to 143 properties using private well systems at risk of contamination.

Clap if you’re against… the Trump Administration kicking 750,000 Americans off their health insurance.

The House is in recess through the November midterms, but I’m still busy at work for Virginia’s Fourth District. Here’s what I’ve been up to.
