Rep. Bobby Scott

Proudly representing Virginia's 3rd Congressional District. Ranking Member of the Committee on Education and Workforce, @EdWorkforceDems.

I confronted Trump’s OMB Director about the Big Ugly Bill adding $4T to the deficit.

I also asked him if the Trump Administration intended to leave a better budget deficit than the one they inherited from the Biden Administration.

His response (or lack thereof) is telling.

I participated in an Artificial Intelligence roundtable today that was hosted by Senator Warner

During the session, stakeholders from various sectors expressed their opinions about the emerging technology and government’s role in developing it in a responsible manner

[Rep. Bobby Scott @BobbyScott]

I joined Gov. Spanberger, Sen. Warner, Rep. Wittman and other dignitaries at the Groundbreaking for the U.S. Deptartment of Energy High Performance Data Facility at Jefferson Lab

The facility will provide advance computing and data capability to DOE researchers across the nation

Enjoyed the remarks from Kevin Joyce this morning at the Newport News Sister Cities Association 16th Annual Breakfast

The event generates proceeds to fund the organization’s core missions, which includes cultural, educational and economic exchanges with cities around the world

[Senator Tim Kaine @SenTimKaine]

Happy Loving Day! 59 years ago, Virginia couple Mildred and Richard Loving won a landmark Supreme Court case that ended state bans on interracial marriage. Today, let’s celebrate their love, strength, and perseverance, while committing ourselves to fight against racism and discrimination.

At a time when Republicans are cutting funding from under-resourced public schools, Congress should be investing in public education—not funneling taxpayer dollars to the wealthy. Today, @BobbyScott spoke in support of @RepGwenMoore’s Keep Public Funds in Public Schools Act.

[Rep. Bobby Scott @BobbyScott]

The Nation’s Report Card shows that students are facing serious academic challenges.

The response should be more support for students, educators, and families.

Instead, the Trump Administration and Congressional Republicans are undermining public education.

New NAEP scores reveal a telling divide between younger and older students when it comes to reading and math. https://t.co/mtPMrlvGOh

Despite all your hard work, Trump does not care how much you’re struggling.

In fact, he loves it.

[Rep. Bobby Scott @BobbyScott]

Under Donald Trump, prices are rising faster than paychecks.

[Heather Long @byHeatherLong]

Inflation is so high that it's erasing all wage gains.

Inflation: 4.2% in May for the past year
Wage growth: 3.4% in May for the past year.

Americans are getting squeezed financially. This isn't just "bad vibes" about the economy. There is real pain, especially for middle-class and lower-income households. It's tough because so many basic items are seeing sizable price increases: gas, electricity, food, medical care.

[Committee on Education & Workforce Democrats @EdWorkforceDems]

The federal government has a duty to ensure ALL students can learn in a safe, welcoming environment.

While Republicans are focused on culture wars, Democrats are fighting for what parents want: a quality education and safe schools.

For many workers, the hard work doesn’t end when they vote to form a union— it begins there.  

The Faster Labor Contracts Act ensures workers and employers can reach a first contract in a timely manner and negotiate for higher wages, better benefits, and safer workplaces.

[Rep. Bobby Scott @BobbyScott]

Once again, Republicans are pushing a budget bill that does nothing to lower costs for working families.

Instead, it provides another $70 billion for ICE and CBP while doing nothing to stop Donald Trump’s slush fund for violent insurrectionists.

I’m voting NO.

[Rep. Bobby Scott @BobbyScott]

I congratulated Pastor Alvin Georges & Pastor-Elect Traci Georges at their Pastoral Installation & Affirmation at Pursue Church International

They have done great work in this region, which I am sure they will continue with this new chapter in their ministry

[Rep. Bobby Scott @BobbyScott]

I went to Pride on High Street today and enjoyed celebrating Pride Month with members of Portsmouth Pride

[Rep. Bobby Scott @BobbyScott]

After representing Ohio’s 11th District in the House of Representatives, she served as the 18th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development during the Biden Administration

[Rep. Bobby Scott @BobbyScott]

It was a real pleasure to see my former colleague, the Honorable Marcia Fudge today as she served as guest speaker during the Hampton Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. 75th Diamond Legacy Anniversary Celebration

[Committee on Education & Workforce Democrats @EdWorkforceDems]

Workers who unionize can bargain for higher pay, better benefits, and safer workplaces.

However, the Trump Admin is one of the most anti-union in history, putting corporate interests over workers.

Today, Democrats will question NLRB leadership.

Today, I met with employees from Volvo Penta’s Hampton Roads facilities. The work they are doing supports various marine industries and helps strengthen our local economy.

[Rep. Bobby Scott @BobbyScott]

Today, I voted for the Iran War Powers Resolution to reassert Congress’s constitutional authority.

We must end this reckless and unauthorized war.

[Lisa Desjardins @LisaDNews]

BREAKING: House votes 215-208 to end President Trump's war in Iran.

[Committee on Education & Workforce Democrats @EdWorkforceDems]

Child care is not a luxury - it's a necessity.  

But instead of making child care more affordable for working families, Republicans are fighting for a bill that would make it more expensive and harder to find.

📺 Watch Ranking Member @BobbyScott fight this bad bill ⤵️

Artificial intelligence is already shaping the landscape of higher education.

Committee Democrats are committed to ensuring AI is used as a tool to help students and educators, not as a weapon against them.
