It was an honor to welcome VA Secretary Doug Collins to Virginia’s First District for a roundtable with local leaders, veterans, and Puller Clinic attorneys and students. We had a productive discussion about strengthening the veterans benefits process, reducing claim backlogs and wait times, expanding access to community care, and ensuring veterans receive the care and benefits they have earned. Our veterans deserve the very best, and I will continue working to ensure they and their families receive the support they deserve.

As a lifelong hunter and fisherman, preserving America's outdoor traditions has long remained one of my top priorities.

The executive orders released last night advance priorities I have championed in Congress. My House-passed Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act protects the use of traditional lead am******on and fishing tackle on federal lands and waters unless restrictions are supported by science. The executive order advances that same goal by directing federal agencies to review restrictions on am******on and tackle.

The President's action to establish a Shark and Pinniped Depredation Task Force also builds on my bipartisan SHARKED Act, which would improve coordination between fisheries, scientists, and anglers to improve research and responses to shark depredation.

These are important steps toward preserving access, supporting responsible conservation, and ensuring Americans can continue to enjoy the great outdoors.

I am honored to be recognized as a "Champion of Franchise." Franchises and small businesses are the backbone of our communities. They create jobs, strengthen local economies, and provide opportunities for entrepreneurial minded Americans. In Congress, I will continue working to cut burdensome regulations and support Main Street businesses so that business owners have the resources they need to grow and succeed. Read more here:

Data centers are important to Virginia’s economy, our technological leadership, and our national security, but Virginia families and small businesses should not be forced to subsidize the infrastructure needed to serve them. I was proud to cosponsor the Ratepayer Protection Act to help ensure data centers, not Virginia families and small businesses, cover the cost of the system upgrades needed to meet their energy demands. I urge the Senate to swiftly consider this commonsense legislation and protect American ratepayers. Read more here:

America’s national and economic security depends on our ability to develop the critical minerals we have here at home. Earth MRI provides the geological data we need to understand where these resources are located and unlock their potential. Reauthorizing the Earth MRI program would strengthen American mineral supply chains, support domestic production, and reduce our dangerous dependence on foreign adversaries like China. I am pleased to see this bipartisan legislation advance out of the House Committee on Natural Resources GOP, and I look forward to working with Congresswoman Dingell to move it through the House.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Rob Wittman (VA-01) and Congresswoman Debbie Dingell’s (MI-06) Earth Mapping Resources Initiative Reauthorization (Earth MRI) Act of 2026 passed favorably out of the House Committee on Natural Resources. This legislation would reauthorize the Earth Mapping R...
