The announced closure of Big Stone Gap’s Walmart has sent shockwaves through the community. Rest assured, whether it’s 1 job or 80, your local leaders are fighting for each & every one of them. We’ll continue to engage in talks with the land owner & company.
Happy #Pride from #SWVA! It doesn’t matter if you’re in Belle Haven or Big Stone Gap, Richmond or Radford, Alexandria or Appalachia, you belong here and you’re loved.
Thank you @AppVoices for including me. #SWVA is truly at a crossroads and it’s now more clear than ever that we must save ourselves. Speak out now & contact all of your elected officials.
Disappointing. Heartbreaking. Tragedy. One more blow. .. Some of the reax of Appalachians to news Trump admin plans to close job-training centers in Va's #coal fields and elsewhere. Plan is getting bipartisan opposition. https://t.co/pfftmbJqzR
Rock on @Hughes4BSG ! Probably some of the best representation Southwest Virginia has had in Congress since Boucher left office!

Thank you to the volunteers at the Lonesome Pine School and Heritage Center for inviting me by for a visit today! They do such an incredible job of documenting and preserving our town’s history. Stop by & visit them soon! You won’t regret it! #BigStoneGap#SWVA
I’m happy to report that all individuals have been safety rescued from the cave in Cleveland, Virginia. Sending my deepest gratitude to the first responders, @VDEM, and search and rescue personnel who helped get them to safety.
