Congressman Ben Cline

.@HouseGOP just passed the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act. This commonsense bill blocks the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency without Congress—protecting your financial privacy and stopping unelected bureaucrats from imposing a CCP-style surveillance…

I appreciated the invitation to join @POTUS yesterday as he signed the $9 billion Rescission Relief Act into law. For too long, the tax dollars of hard-working Americans have been wasted on woke foreign aid projects abroad and woke publicly-funded broadcasting at home. That ends…

$7.5 billion spent. Fewer than 400 EV chargers were built. That’s nearly $19 MILLION per charger. This is what happens when Washington throws money at radical projects with zero accountability. I support fully repealing wasteful green energy handouts. nationalreview.com/news/billions-…

Our veterans gained valuable, transferable skills through their service to our great Nation, skills that continue to serve them and their communities. I’m proud to have several of these American heroes on my staff. Today and every day, we honor their contributions to VA-06.…

Just as American families have to financially prepare for emergencies, the federal government should too. I’m proud to introduce the Fiscal Contingency Preparedness Act with @RepGolden. This bipartisan bill holds Washington accountable by requiring the federal government to…

❌Under Biden, nearly 1.9M illegal immigrants were released into the U.S. ✅Under Trump Admin? Just 7. That’s the difference between chaos and control. The broken border era is over, we’re enforcing the law and restoring order for every American community.

.@POTUS just secured a $550 billion trade deal with Japan, a game changer that opens the door for potentially cheaper generic antibiotics that puts lifesaving medicine within reach for more American families.

Congratulations to Terry Cole on his confirmation as the next DEA Administrator!  A proud Virginian and proven leader, Terry brings 21 years of DEA experience and a strong record of disrupting drug networks, targeting violent criminals, and making our communities safer. I’m…

.@SpeakerJohnson is right. Our core America First principles are no longer just talk, they are being put into action.

It was found that up to 2.8 million Americans are enrolled in multiple taxpayer-funded health plans.  The One Big Beautiful Bill puts a stop to it—saving $14 billion a year and making sure vital aid goes to those who truly need it. washingtontimes.com/news/2025/jul/…

The CCP is abusing the U.S. court system as part of its broader strategy to compete with and weaken the U.S. My Protecting Our Courts from Foreign Manipulation Act stops this tactic by safeguarding American businesses, intellectual property, and the integrity of our legal…

Americans sent @HouseGOP and @POTUS to Washington with a clear mandate to deliver. Six months in, we’ve already secured many victories for the American people. We’re just getting started, and the best is still ahead.

The Biden Admin’s State Department sent $1.2m to renovate swimming pools in Haiti and Iraq. It’s clear our foreign aid needed a serious dose of common sense. I’m glad to see that @SecRubio is taking steps to rein it in and make it work for American interests.…

Taxpayers deserve better than wasteful programs that don’t serve our Nation’s best interests. Congress acted by passing the $9 billion rescissions package to cut reckless spending flagged by @DOGE. Americans live on a budget, and it’s time Washington did the same.

College isn’t the only path to success in the workforce. It’s exciting to see Roanoke City students get a hands-on look at in-demand, high-skill trades during a shop camp as they explore real careers that are the backbone of VA-06.

Let me break down just some of the wasteful line items cut by the $9B rescissions package your tax dollars were funding: ✂️ $3M for Iraqi Sesame Street ✂️ $6M for “Net Zero Cities” in Mexico ✂️ $21M for wind farms in Ukraine ✂️ $169M for the corrupt, China-controlled WHO and…

My statement regarding House Appropriations Approving Bill Including Cline Funding for I-81 Improvements.

Your DNA is uniquely personal, and it deserves legal protection. Today I introduced the Don’t Sell My DNA Act with @RepZoeLofgren to: ✅ Add genetic data to bankruptcy protections ✅ Require consent before any sale ✅ Mandate secure deletion

Fentanyl is now the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18 to 45. It’s devastating families and their loved ones across the country. Yesterday, @POTUS signed @RepMGriffith’s HALT Fentanyl Act, a bill I proudly cosponsored to give law enforcement the tools they need to stop…
