John's right — it's outrageous for my opponent to support shutting down the federal government — just because she doesn't agree with the administration in charge. Shutdowns undermine our national security and a threaten our career federal employees. https://t.co/qfHoJEJ6ip https://t.co/veWCRv2gWE

To combat ongoing supply chain and workforce issues, I've leading a bipartisan bill to encourage Americans to join the trucking industry and to keep experienced drivers on the road. Read my latest in @WashTimes: https://t.co/yx7y1EUO8P

Thanks to the American Rescue Plan, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline answered 152,000 more calls, texts, and chats in August 2020 than August 2021. On World Suicide Prevention Day, remember that help is always available. Call or text 9-8-8 to speak to someone 24/7. #WSPD22

“Slamming the breaks” That’s how my opponent flippantly referred to shutting down the government — she said, “I certainly think that we have to slam the breaks.” Government shutdowns hurt Virginia’s economy, hurt hardworking Virginians, and hurt our national security.

My job as a Member of Congress is to bring the voices of Virginia’s Veterans, businesses owners, and families to Congress. Thank you to all our neighbors who have taken the time to share their thoughts and concerns to help me deliver results for Virginia’s Seventh District. https://t.co/CmUzFJ8mm7

Virginians deserves a thoughtful representative who is focused on addressing Virginia’s greatest challenges, not an extreme ideologue. 3/3

My top priority in Congress is to deliver result for Virginians I serve. The nearly $1.3 MILLION I was proud to help secure in the House would add benches and shelters at GRTC stops and make a difference for the people of Henrico. https://t.co/RqudnK0X9g

Thanks so much to Lis & Supervisor @KennyBoddye for opening your home for a Veterans for Spanberger meet and greet today! In Congress, I am working tirelessly to make sure our veterans receive the care and benefits they've earned through their service. https://t.co/4CQVa9JI3T

The Editorial Board writes: “The two candidates differ dramatically: Ms. Spanberger is deliberate and moderate. Ms. Vega is bombastic and far-right — and, as evidenced by the tape, careless toward a key issue she’s running to have the power to legislate on.” 2/2

I am humbled that my bipartisan bill to prevent drug overdose — named after Virginian Summer Barrow — passed the House last week. Stories like Summer's should not be forgotten. Substance abuse disorder is an epidemic in our country, and we need action. https://t.co/kZYA5FxgX6

To be an effective legislator, you have to be willing to work across party lines. That’s why I was ranked the most bipartisan Member of Congress from Virginia. Listen to my process on @NewsRadioWINA: https://t.co/CHny9agz0c

I was recently graded the fifth most bipartisan member of the U.S. House. I earned this ranking because I am a tireless worker, committed to reaching across the aisle to get things done for the people of #VA07 and all across the country. Join me! https://t.co/dbUuT7HvL2

The 340B Dug Pricing Program provides Virginia patients and providers with low-cost access to lifesaving prescription drugs, and I have long believed that it is a key part of a community-focused healthcare approach. Read more: https://t.co/nZm6oMf8GC

The CDC estimated more than 90,000 overdose deaths over the last recorded year, most caused by synthetic opioids, like fentanyl. @USTreasury must make clear that fighting the addiction crisis is an acceptable use of #AmericanRescuePlan funds — it’s a matter of life of death. https://t.co/ifKEM2CoYm

This unprecedented escalation is almost certainly linked to COVID-19, thus pandemic relief funds should be available to combat this interconnected crisis. Thank you @RepMcKinley and @RepDavidTrone for your help in leading this effort and for your work on this critical issue.

Inside the building, we barricaded ourselves against domestic terrorists who were there out of loyalty to one man — not loyalty to our country. 2/7

These terrorists did not succeed, and Congress completed its constitutional duty and confirmed the results of the 2020 presidential election. 3/7

For the sake of national healing, the preferred outcome would have been the outright resignation of the President. In the absence of this action, the VP & the Cabinet should have invoked the 25th amendment & protected our democracy. Neither of these paths were followed. 4/7

The President’s incitement of an insurrection is an impeachable offense — and in recent days, we have seen principled Republicans join the effort to uphold our oaths to the Constitution and protect our democratic republic. 5/7

Today is a solemn moment in our nation’s history — and this vote represents a united response to a disgusting act of brutality and sedition. 6/7

In the coming weeks, I look forward to welcoming an administration that will bring hope to our citizens, renew our sense of purpose, focus on the priorities of the American people amid the COVID-19 crisis, and ensure that those responsible for sedition are brought to justice. 7/7

My thoughts on today’s vote: Last week, we watched in shock & horror when extremists — inspired by the President’s months of lies and invigorated by the his speech earlier in the day — attacked the U.S. Capitol with aims to perpetrate violence & undermine our democracy. 1/7

We’ve now been informed that a Capitol Police officer has died from injuries sustained during yesterday’s violent insurrection. My prayers are with the fallen officer’s family and fellow Capitol Police in this unthinkable moment.

I’ve now taken an oath to support and defend our Constiution four times. As Members of Congress, it is our sworn responsibility. Tomorrow, I hope my colleagues will remember this oath. I’m proud to serve the people of Central Virginia and to protect our democratic system. https://t.co/926BC3LV0p
