WEEKLY POLL: Last week's wins for VA-01

My focus as your Representative in Congress is to work on behalf of the people of the First District and their top concerns, and I will continue to serve as a strong supporter and vocal advocate for these ideas and principles to make sure your priorities are being addressed in Congress and we get things done.

Last week, we had several great wins in Washington, and I was proud to help champion these wins for the people of our region and our nation.

Last week, I was proud to see the House pass, with my support, this year’s National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (FY21 NDAA). After a months-long process of negotiations and discussions, made more difficult by the logistical impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, I am proud to have supported such a bipartisan piece of legislation and am thrilled that the House passed this vital bill.

On Thursday, the US Navy released its updated 30-year shipbuilding plan. This 30-Year Shipbuilding Plan is all about implementing the National Defense Strategy as it pertains to Great Powers Competition. I look forward to working with the Navy and the Department of Defense to turn this plan into reality.

I am so glad to see the passage of my vitally important legislation, The Long Bridge Act of 2020. A new Long Bridge will ease congestion along the I-95 corridor and cut down on the commuter travel time that plagues many VA-01 residents.

Early last week, the FCC released results of the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) Phase 1. Phase 1 allocates $9.2 Billion to close the digital divide in 49 States, including Virginia.

RDOF Phase 1 will provide over $238 million to 16 different bidders and connect about 186,475 homes and businesses across the Commonwealth of Virginia, many of whom are in the First District.
