Proudly representing Virginia's 3rd Congressional District. Ranking Member, @democrats-edworkforce.house.gov
Hampton Roads is on the frontline of climate change. Our region's future relies on addressing it now.

This decision by President Trump is reckless and serves to help corporate polluters at the expense of American families.
Breaking news: The EPA rescinded a landmark legal opinion underpinning a wave of federal policies aimed at climate change.

In scrapping the policy, the EPA will seek to erase limits on emissions from cars, power plants and other industries.

I’m proud to call Lee a friend and to have worked alongside him to advocate for workers and build a stronger labor movement.
 
His commitment to organizing, solidarity, and protecting workers’ voices leaves a legacy that will continue to guide and inspire us in the years ahead.
After 14 Years at the helm, AFSCME President Lee Saunders will retire in August 2026 following a historic tenure. Pres. Saunders energized AFSCME's activist culture and will leave it on strong footing for the future. www.afscme.org/press/releas...

Tariffs on our allies hurts our economy by driving up costs for Americans. I voted to end President Trump's chaotic, expensive and disruptive tariffs on Canada.

The recent winter surge underscored what students and educators know: school buildings are crumbling and lack reliable Wi-Fi.

That’s why @bobbyscott.house.gov & @norcross.house.gov introduced the Rebuild America’s Schools Act to invest in safe facilities, modern infrastructure and broadband.

President Trump is on track to be the most anti-worker, anti-union president in American history.

In just one year, more than 300,000 federal workers have been fired, and collective-bargaining rights for over a million federal workers were stripped away. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/m...

From pencil grips to screen readers, assistive technology helps students with disabilities thrive in school.

A new GAO report shows that schools face hurdles to provide these resources and that the Department of Education is key to ensuring that students get the tools they need.

Donald Trump must fire Kristi Noem immediately.

Or Democrats will initiate impeachment proceedings against her in the House.

We can do this the easy way or the hard way.
