Senate Democrats’ Abandonment of Adeel Mangi Made Emil Bove’s Confirmation Possible

Q: Some of the ACA tax credits are set to expire at the end of the year. How important is it for Republicans to stop that from happening?
HAWLEY: Well, if we don't, the cost of insurance is just going to explode. Explode for families, working people. Already the premium increases are unbelievable.

This morning's news was difficult to hear. Gerry Connolly wasn't just a Northern Virginia icon, but a friend. I count myself lucky, as a Fairfax County resident, to have benefited from his decades of leadership – a legacy that will be felt for generations to come.

For over 30 years, Gerry Connolly has championed Fairfax County and Northern Virginia’s most pressing issues.
As both a constituent, and as a friend, I’ll deeply miss his leadership and unwavering commitment to our community.
