| Friend-
I was honored to receive the Transparency and Accountability Democracy Award from the Congressional Management Foundation! My number one priority is listening to the people I represent and using their thoughts, concerns, and insights to better represent them in Washington.
I stopped by Carepac Pharmacy in Mechanicsville to talk with folks about solutions to the rising cost of premiums and prescription drug prices. I am still focused on fighting for a health care system where doctors and patients can be in control of their own health care decisions and everyday American families have the option to see a doctor of their choice.
I enjoyed spending the Fourth of July traveling across the First District, celebrating the gift of liberty, and talking with constituents about the latest happenings in Washington.
I visited with Minuteman Press in Ashland to hear how their business has benefited from the work Congress has done to bring our our booming economy.
I enjoyed visiting the Hanover Regional Governor's School for Career and Technical Advancement to see how our students are developing tangible skill sets to succeed in the workforce.
I spoke with American Enterprise Institute about how our Navy does not consistently receive the predictable funding it truly needs nor does it have the requisite ships to meet global demand. This proves that now more than ever we must reach a fleet of 355 ships to meet global demand.
I toured Trivett's Furniture in Fredericksburg and spoke with folks about how Congress is working to get government out of the way so small businesses can succeed.
I toured the Pamunkey Regional Jail in Hanover with the McShin Foundation. I'm grateful for their work to assist folks struggling with addiction and I enjoyed our conversation about criminal justice reform and Congress' continued work to combat the opioid epidemic.
