Our R+6 District

  John, We know this congressional race will be one of the closest races in the country next year. Forecasters at the Cook Political Report have indicated that VA-07 is one of the Republican party’s top targets in 2020 as they try to win back control of the House of Representatives. Afte…

Healthcare, healthcare, healthcare

  John, Everywhere we go, one of the most important issues we hear about over and over again is healthcare. In many ways, it’s a defining issue for this campaign. Very simply, Abigail believes that every person should have quality, affordable healthcare. If you agree, would you consider …

Prescription drug costs are soaring

  John, One of my most critical fights in Congress is to help lower the price of prescription drugs. According to a report from just last year, some of the most common prescription drugs for seniors have soared in cost ten times the rate of inflation over the past five years. This is why w…

  John, Lack of broadband access hinders opportunity across our rural communities. When Adam and I decided to move “home” five years ago, we easily moved back to Henrico County, hooked up the internet, and he was immediately back to work telecommuting. We became homeowners, taxpayers, an…

Abigail doesn’t accept corporate PAC money

  John, A few months into her first race, Abigail decided not to accept corporate PAC donations. This was certainly not an easy decision (especially for a first-time candidate!) but it was a decision she made after listening to voters along the campaign trail who routinely expressed their…

Food insecurity

John,  On Friday, I organized a group to volunteer at Feed More, our regional food bank to help our neighbors facing food insecurity.  Areas of Virginia’s seventh district have food insecurity rates of over 20%. Additionally, more than 20,000 children face food insecurity in our district ever…

I believe in science

John,  I am writing to you this morning to ask for a favor. This past May, my colleagues and I in the House passed H.R. 9, the Climate Change Action Now Act.  It’s currently August and the Senate has done nothing to move this legislation forward. Will you stand with me today and urge the S…

The shootings this past weekend.

John,  Over the course of 13 hours, Americans suffered through two more mass shootings. At least 31 people in Texas and Ohio are now dead, and many more lie injured. In Dayton, police responded within one minute, a testament to the courage and decisive action of local law enforcement. Yet des…

Abigail’s birthday Wednesday

John,  In just a few days, we’ll celebrate Abigail’s birthday! As always, our girls and I are making her favorite dinner and a cake, but this year is a big one for Abigail. She’s turning 40, and it would be awesome if we could get lots of signatures from her supporters. I’m planning to give he…

Foreign Interference in our elections

John, We know that in 2016 Russian agents acting on behalf of the Kremlin worked to influence our elections. They used a variety of channels, most notably, they fed Americans divisive ads via social media meant to exacerbate existing tensions in our country. This was by design. It was no…

Fwd: what does it mean to be a “sustainer”

women’s soccer and equal pay

John, Like so many of you, I was incredibly proud of the U.S. Women’s National Team as they competed in the World Cup and took home another victory for the United States. And as our team won the World Cup, chants of “EQUAL PAY” broke out in the stadium. John, equal pay might be in the n…

fighting for healthcare

John, Part of the reason I love working for Abigail is her commitment to lowering the cost of healthcare. One of the most pressing issues facing people across our district – and our country – is the cost of prescription medications. Far too many families are deciding between paying for t…

A sentry stands watch. That’s what we must do now.

Did you see Abigail on CNN?
