“On March 11th, House Republicans passed a spending bill that will hurt Virginians. This vote serves as another stark reminder that Virginians cannot trust what Republicans say. When they claim they will lower costs, they vote to expand Donald Trump’s tariff powers—knowing full well that these tariffs will raise the price of everyday goods. When they claim they will protect veterans, they vote to slash their benefits. And when they say they will cut out ‘waste’ and ‘abuse,’ they give an unelected billionaire a blank check to cut critical services while he makes himself richer.

Here's the bottom line: Republicans are not interested in the well-being of the people they pretend to care about. They don’t care about working families. They don’t care about veterans. They don’t care about vulnerable communities across our Commonwealth. Their priorities couldn’t be more apparent: giving tax breaks to billionaires while ignoring the essential needs of hardworking Virginians.”
