Only in America can someone go from being a refugee to a Representative in one lifetime.
It was an honor to join @RepCarlos to reflect on America’s 250th birthday and the journeys that brought us here.
Our stories are only possible because of the opportunities this country provides. I'm grateful to serve the nation that gave my family the chance to build a better future.
On the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, let us remember the courage and determination of those who served and sacrificed to secure our freedoms.
Their bravery will continue to inspire generations to defend the values those heroes fought to protect.
On Thursday, I was honored to join my colleagues in cleaning the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall ahead of Memorial Day.
It was a solemn reminder that the freedoms we enjoy are only possible because of so many Americans who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Let us carry their legacy forward with actions that protect the values they died defending.
My family fled communism and arrived in the United States as refugees. The Soviet communist regime collapsed, and Cuba’s dictatorship will inevitably meet the same fate.
We must help guide Cuba toward freedom — for the benefit of our entire region.
May we soon celebrate alongside Cubans a true Independence Day, with Cuba Libre.
"I love Florida, and it was impossible for me to sit on the sidelines while Ashley Moody uses her Senate seat to make life harder for Floridians. People are eager for a different direction."

Just months after our family arrived as refugees from the Soviet Union, we met Carol Kitman in a chance encounter in Brighton Beach.
And after those first photographs, she was a constant and consistent part of our lives, attending graduations, weddings and promotions, always with her camera in hand.
We loved her and her dear husband Marvin. We will miss her deeply.

Carol Kitman was an amazing person. In 1980––just months after our arrival to the U.S., as refugees from the Soviet Union––she all but adopted me and Eugene and remained part of our lives for nearly 50 years. She and her wonderful husband Marvin were there at all of our major life events. They were precious to the entire Vindman family.
We loved them and Carol will be very missed. May her memory be a blessing.

I’m honored to earn the endorsements of @MarkWarnerVA and @timkaine — two tireless champions for our Commonwealth and exemplary public servants.
I look forward to continuing our work to build a stronger, safer, and more prosperous Virginia.
I am heartbroken for the service members we’ve lost and for the loved ones they leave behind.
As an Iraq War veteran, I know the weight of losing even one American in uniform.
My thoughts are with their families and with all our brave service members serving in harm’s way.
Happy birthday to a great friend and fighter for Virginia, @TimKaine.
I’ve been honored to look up to you as a model for public service, and look forward to continuing our work to build a stronger, safer, and more prosperous Virginia.
I am honored to have @SpanbergerForVA's endorsement. Her career embodies service to our Commonwealth and our nation.
I look forward to continuing our work together to lower costs for families, keep our communities safe, strengthen our economy, and ensure that every Virginian has a fair shot.
I’m proud to announce that more than $7.4 MILLION in federal funding I secured for infrastructure and transportation projects in Virginia’s Seventh District has been signed into law.
These investments will deliver real, lasting improvements for our communities, and I will keep fighting to bring home the resources our district needs to grow and thrive.

I secured $10 million in funding for the Warfighting Laboratory at Marine Corps Base Quantico.
This investment will help take this state-of-the-art facility to the next level and strengthen our military’s future readiness.
On the House Armed Services Committee, I will continue fighting to make sure our service members have the resources, technology, and support they need to succeed.

Nearly half of the @WashingtonPost newsroom was eliminated during last week’s cuts.
You read that right — one of the largest single-day losses of journalists in a generation.
A free and independent press is foundational to our democracy. When newsrooms are hollowed out, accountability suffers and communities are left in the dark.

As a former prosecutor, I know we need to fund our local police to keep our community safe.
That's why I'm proud to have secured more than $2.75 MILLION in funding to invest in critical law enforcement and public safety projects in VA-07.
