Today, I was proud to cast my vote alongside my wife, Cindy, and our son, Max! It means a lot to share this moment with my family as we vote for Virginia's future. There's still time to vote early! Make your voice heard by November 3!

Virginia is the last state in the South without an abortion ban, and I intend to keep it that way. As the father of a daughter, I refuse to let her grow up with fewer rights than the women before her. I'm proud to have Repro Rising Virginia's endorsement.

This afternoon, I’m joining @avindman.bsky.social and @rebeccabennettforcongress.com for a conversation about the upcoming midterm elections, what’s at stake, and the fight to take back the House! Tune in!

⚠️ I've been commuting to D.C. for years. But these days, I'm fighting more than just traffic. I'm taking on corruption in Congress, fighting to ban congressional stock trading, and making sure Washington works for hardworking Virginians. Watch my ad.

It was great to be in Fredericksburg with Delegate Josh Cole this weekend! Always good to catch up with so many friends and neighbors. We’re building grassroots momentum and working hard to elect Democrats up and down the ballot this November!

Virginians are already paying too much to keep the lights on. They shouldn't have to shoulder the costs of powering massive data centers, too. My legislation would make these companies pay their fair share. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to help me pass it.

Had a fantastic time at Supervisor Angry’s Annual Crab Feast! Great food and even better company! With Election Day just around the corner, now is the time to make your plan to vote! Know where to go, get to the polls, and make your voice heard up and down the ballot!

I just introduced a bill to ban live-streaming public executions. As an Army JAG, I oversaw the post-trial legal proceedings in Nidal Hasan’s case. He should face the fullest consequences of the law. But turning executions into public entertainment is what terrorists and authoritarian regimes do.

Virginians know what’s on the line this year. With just three weeks until Election Day, we’re fired up and ready to win up and down the ballot. To everyone who has donated, knocked doors, made calls, or joined our grassroots team: thank you. We couldn’t do this without you.

This is a vile and disgusting betrayal. Our Ukrainian allies are being slaughtered at home — while they sleep — without warning. By cutting off aid to Ukraine, Trump chose evil and oppression over liberty and freedom. Make him and Republicans pay in 20 days.

Great to be in King George for the “Almost Annual” Collis Warner Pig Roast this weekend! Nothing beats good food, great company, and a whole lot of Virginia Democrats working hard for our Commonwealth, plus one Marylander who crossed the Potomac to join us!

The Fredericksburg VA needs additional staff and resources to provide veterans with the quality care they’ve earned. I’ve been pushing the VA to address staffing shortages and fill critical vacancies, and I’ll keep at it until veterans can count on the timely, reliable care they deserve.

31 DAYS until Election Day. It was great to have Governor Wes Moore in FXBG today to fire folks up for the fight ahead. Virginians are fed up with the chaos, cruelty, and corruption coming out of Washington. Now it’s on us. Let’s elect Democrats up and down the ballot this November.

As Governor Wes Moore said in FXBG today, we’ve got just 30 days and a wake-up until Election Day. Thank you to every incredible volunteer knocking doors, making calls, and talking to voters across the district. This is how we win.

Too many young men and boys are struggling in silence. This Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, I’m continuing my work to confront the growing crisis of screen addiction and understand its toll on mental health, families, and our young people’s futures.

China provided Iran with intelligence that likely led to the deaths of U.S. service members. I joined my fellow veterans in the U.S. House in urging the president to stop downplaying Beijing’s role and hold Xi accountable this week. Instead, he once again let him off the hook.

September is Sickle Cell Awareness Month. I’m leading the Candis King Hope for Sickle Cell Families Act, named in honor of a young Virginian we lost far too soon to this disease. Our bill would restore a program that helped researchers improve care for people living with sickle cell disease.

Our veterans earned more than our gratitude. They earned quality, timely care. Yet long waits for mental health appointments at the VA Health Care Center in Spotsylvania continue to stand in the way. This Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, I’m fighting for the care our veterans deserve.

Thank you to everyone who braved the rain to cast your ballot at the Woodbridge DMV this morning! Great to be out talking with so many voters and seeing the energy firsthand. Early voting is OPEN. Make your plan, bring your friends and family, and go cast your ballot today!

As a 25-year Army veteran, I know every casualty represents a family forever changed. The Trump administration has a duty to be honest about the true human cost of their war with Iran. Concealing the number of Americans killed or wounded is an insult to those who served and sacrificed.

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. More than 140,000 U.S. service members and veterans have died by suicide in the last 25 years. This is a serious public health crisis. 24/7 help for vets and service members is available. Dial 9-8-8 and press 1 to reach the Veterans Crisis Line.

Trump abused his authority by allowing ICE and CBP to operate without accountability. This lack of oversight resulted in the horrific deaths of Renée Good, Alex Pretti, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, and Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero. The American people deserve to know where their lawmakers stand.

Team Vindman has knocked more than 20,000 doors! Every day, we’re out talking with Virginians and earning every vote, from the Piedmont to the Potomac and down the I-95 corridor. We’re showing up everywhere, and we’re just getting started.

25 years ago, I watched in horror as the Twin Towers fell on 9/11. I was soon activated as a reservist, and later went on to serve on active duty, forever changed by that day. Today, my thoughts are with those we lost on 9/11 and in the wars that followed. We will never forget their sacrifice.
