Rural healthcare is key to keeping our communities strong. I recently visited Fluvanna Healthcare Center to meet with the dedicated doctors, nurses, and staff who work every day to provide quality care close to home.
We had a productive discussion on the challenges facing rural healthcare providers and opportunities to improve access and ensure families across Virginia's 5th District can receive the care they need. I want to thank the entire team for their commitment to serving our communities.

I had a productive meeting with constituents from the Home Builders Association of Virginia to discuss ways Congress can help lower housing costs and expand housing opportunities. Housing affordability remains a top priority, and I appreciated hearing directly from Virginia builders about the challenges facing our communities. We also spoke about several of my bills aimed at combatting this issue like my American Dream Act and Home Savings Act.

Gerald never received his form 1099 from the Office of Workers' Compensation, and couldn't reach anyone in the the office, so he reached out to my team for help. We were able to get him what he needed in a timely manner.
Have you had a similar experience? If so, don’t hesitate to contact my Lynchburg office at 434-791-2596.

Cartels, fentanyl traffickers, and human smugglers are national security threats. House Republicans are giving law enforcement the tools they need to stop these criminals and protect American families.

Today, we honor 251 years of the U.S. Army! From the Revolutionary War to humanitarian missions, disaster relief efforts, and defending our nation around the world, generations of soldiers have answered the call to serve with courage, commitment, and selfless sacrifice.
Happy Birthday to the United States Army, and thank you to all who have worn the uniform. We would not have a country without our brave men and women in uniform.
