Virginia Open Letters
From a constituent in Chesterfield, VAElon Musk has no say in our government
I’m furious that Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire with no experience in government, is influencing legislation and interfering in budget negotiations. Because of him Congress just passed a funding package with no money for kids’ cancer research, women’s health funding, or SNAP recipients. It is d
From a constituent in Fairfax, VAHouse oversight committee
The Honorable Gerald E. Connolly 2238 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Congressman Connolly, I am writing as one of your constituents from Fairfax, Virginia, to express my concerns about the leadership of the House Oversight Committee during this critical time. With Donald
From a verified voter in Herndon, VAFight for a good CR!
Continue to stand strong! Don't let the GOP ram through a CR that hurts Americans. The Democratic caucus needs to remain steadfast. You have our support out here in your District. Thank you for your continued service!
From a verified voter in Staunton, VACurb disproportionate influence of wealthy individuals on policymaking
It is concerning to see the growing influence of wealthy individuals like Elon Musk on the political process and government decision-making. While citizens have the right to voice their opinions, the fact that Musk was able to derail a bipartisan spending deal through a social media blitz raises que
From a verified voter in Staunton, VANDAA Concerns
The passage of the anti-transgender provision within the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is deeply concerning. Removing healthcare coverage for gender-affirming care from transgender family members of service members is discriminatory and harmful. This provision threatens the well-being an
From a verified voter in Franklin, VAGovernment Shutdown
Let the government shut down until you can do your jobs and prepare a budget. The CR isn’t the right way to do this. The pork must stop. We are broke. Thank you
From a verified voter in Herndon, VAA Private Person Influencing Government
Elon Musk does not represent the people. Elon Musk should not be treated as the mouthpiece of the people. The wealthiest man on Earth cannot possibly comprehend the desires or needs of the common citizen. He likely doesn’t share those needs or desires, either. We cannot let the US become an oligarch
From a verified voter in Norfolk, VAThe passage of the anti-transgender provision within the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is deeply concerning. Removing healthcare coverage for gender-affirming care from transgender family members of service members is discriminatory and harmful. This provision threatens the well-being an
From a constituent in Arlington, VASupport gun violence prevention — yes on HR 660
Please pass HR 660, Ethan’s Law, to require the safe storage of firearms. America is marred by gun violence. Our children are dying. Our friends are dying. The worst part is, it doesn’t need to be this way. The safe storage of firearms does not infringe on the second amendment, which itself caveat
From a constituent in Arlington, VANO to HR 9495
After the House of Representatives initially voted down, H.R. 9495, Republicans tried a second time to pass it. This time, they unfortunately succeeded. The bill is now headed to the Senate, and I want to make my expectation very clear that you do not support this bill. This bill allows Trump a wid
From a constituent in Warrenton, VAInvestigate Drone Activity
As a concerned citizen of Virginia, I am growing increasingly concerned about the presence of drones and other flying craft in the sky at night. More pressingly, though, I am growing concerned about the mass hysteria that these objects are causing. Many of my neighbors have made comments about how
From a constituent in Arlington, VARegarding your NDAA vote
I’m writing today to express my severe disappointment in your vote in favor of the NDAA. I wrote earlier to express deep concern about the TRICARE section that would block some children from receiving gender affirming care. As a DoD civilian I’m outraged that you allowed the NDAA to be politicized
From a verified voter in Sterling, VAVote for AOC for top seat on the House Oversight Committee
As your constituent, I'm writing to encourage you to cast your vote for AOC to take the reigns as the top democrat in the House Oversight Committee. While the congressman from Virginia is a fair choice, it's time for new ideas and bold action in that role. Our political leadership is far older tha
From a constituent in Arlington, VAAOC, not Connolly
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is running to be the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee but Speaker Emerita Pelosi is elevating Rep Gerry Connolly instead. My support is unequivocally behind AOC. This election showed beyond a doubt that we need new, young blood leading the party, and AOC connects
From a constituent in Arlington, VASupport Supreme Court Term limits
Senators Manchin and Welch introduced a constitutional amendmentthat to establish term limits for Supreme Court justices. Term limits are widely supported across the aisle, and recent ethics violations and an institutional lack of transparency have shattered American trust in the court. These are no
From a constituent in Richmond, VATikTok plays a vital role in the digital landscape, providing an influential platform for creative expression, cultural exchange, and community engagement.

From a verified voter in Woodbridge, VAThe Race in the Oversight Committee
I am writing to ask you to support Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to be the top Democrat in the Oversight Committee. For years, Representative Connolly was my Representative. He is smart, a defender, and has a lot of experience. However, it is time for new leadership. This election has tau
From a verified voter in Staunton, VASafeguard press freedoms by protecting journalists' confidential sources.
I support the passage of the PRESS act. This bill aims to protect journalists from being compelled to disclose confidential sources and information obtained through journalism, except in limited circumstances involving terrorism, imminent violence, or specified offenses against minors. It establishe
From a constituent in Arlington, VAPressure Biden: Pass the ERA now!
The representative should vocally, and loudly, support the push to adopt the equal rights amendment, which has met all necessary legal checks. Tweet his support, go on media, put out a statement, and most importantly, URGE BIDEN to take action. There is no reason for the ERA to remain in purgatory
From a constituent in Reston, VAReject Robert F Kennedy Jr for HHS Secretary
Trump’s plan to let Health and Human Services Secretary-designate Robert F. Kennedy Jr “go wild on health” will get people killed. Kennedy is an outspoken conspiracy theorist. He wants to make policies based on misinformation like vaccines causing autism and fluoridation in the water having a negati
From a constituent in Prince George, VAUniversal Healthcare
We need universal healthcare in the US. We are the ONLY industrialized nation on earth that does not have some form of universal healthcare. I don’t know how you live with yourselves taking bribes from health insurance parasites to deny Americans’ care. The ACA was never universal healthcare, nor di
From a constituent in Front Royal, VAThe Warren County Board of Supervisors' decision to cut 75% of Samuels Public Library's funding is an egregious overreaction to a small group of individuals challenging books with LGBTQ+ content. This funding reduction severely undermines the library's ability to serve the entire community and promo
From a constituent in Bristow, VAI am writing to express my strong support for transparency and accountability regarding unexplained and mysterious objects appearing over U.S. military installations, cities, and allied airspace. In February 2023, UAP were shot down over U.S. and Canadian airspace, yet the government has failed to
From a verified voter in Henrico, VANDAA: Remove the provision that ends healthcare for Trans kids on page 399.
The provision in the National Defense Authorization Act that bars TRICARE from covering gender-affirming care for transgender youth under 18 is deeply concerning. Denying access to medically necessary care goes against the recommendations of major medical organizations and jeopardizes the wellbeing
From a constituent in Vienna, VAPublish Equal Rights Amendment to safeguard gender equality
The Equal Rights Amendment would enshrine protections against gender discrimination in the Constitution, safeguarding rights like equal pay, access to reproductive healthcare, and freedom from gender-based violence. With the amendment already ratified by 38 states, all that remains is for President
