NEW: More than 36,400 Virginia Medicare beneficiaries are paying less for their insulin this year thanks to our #InflationReductionAct.
They're saving an average of $510 annually with the new $35/month cap—just one of the ways we've lowered health care costs for #VA10 families.

I’m devastated for the families and communities torn apart by the recent mass shootings in California.
We cannot let up in our fight to end gun violence. That’s why I’m pushing for legislation in Congress to ban assault weapons and enact universal background checks.

Seniors on Medicare are now paying only $35/month for insulin.
But House Republicans want to take us backwards—introducing legislation to repeal the sweeping provisions in our #InflationReductionAct which are lowering drug costs.
We can't let them win.

Is your family taking advantage of tax breaks we established through the #InflationReductionAct?
You could save thousands of dollars this year on upgrading to energy efficient heating and cooling, installing rooftop solar, weatherizing windows, and more.

It's only the first days of Republicans’ House majority, and they're already attacking women's health care freedoms.
Abortion is a right—a decision between a woman and her doctor, not politicians.
I'll keep fighting back against this extreme agenda.

This backwards policy should’ve stayed dead—and I’ll fight it every step of the way.

Thanks to our #InflationReductionAct, Virginia seniors on Medicare now won’t pay more than $35 a month for their insulin.
No one should have to choose between lifesaving medication or putting food on the table.
