Rep. Jennifer Wexton

President Jimmy Carter was the epitome of decency and the prime example of a public servant. His life and legacy will inspire Americans for generations to come. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones and the many who looked up to him.

From my family to yours, wishing a very Merry Christmas and happy Hanukkah this evening! I hope your celebrations are filled with joy, love, and peace.

Gabriella Miller was a courageous Virginian who gave her all to advocating for pediatric cancer research. I’m honored to have worked with her family and @RepWexton to pass a bipartisan bill to reauthorize a pediatric cancer research program I helped created in her honor in 2014.

When I reintroduced the Kids First bill back in 2021, I spoke w/Gabriella’s mom, Ellyn, about her daughter’s courageous cancer battle & advocacy. Extreme Republicans chose billionaire tax cuts over childhood cancer research. In Gabriella’s words, “Talk is BS. We need action.”

I’ve been fighting to fund the Gabriella Miller Kids First childhood cancer research program since the day I came to Congress. It has wide bipartisan support. Now extreme Republicans are caving to the world’s richest man so he & Donald Trump can pay for their personal tax cuts.

I spoke on the House floor today for the final time, sharing my gratitude for this opportunity to serve my fellow Virginians. Together, we've made positive change in our community and shown there is real good to be done through public service. #VA10, I hope I've made you proud.

My heart breaks for the families of the killed and injured in this horrific act of gun violence at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison. Our children do not deserve to live like this. We must do better to keep our kids and our schools safe. nbcnews.com/news/amp/live-…

The EPA's decision to ban TCE, a harmful toxin which is linked to Parkinson's Disease and other health issues, is a significant step to make Americans healthier and safer. I submitted a public comment letter in support of the proposed ban last year. Read my full statement ⬇️

This is big news to expand local manufacturing and bring new science & tech jobs to #VA10. I was proud to support CHIPS & Science Act & deliver a historic federal investment in businesses like Micron to strengthen global competitiveness & bring jobs home. washingtonpost.com/business/2024/…

A disability doesn’t define who you are or what you can achieve. This International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we celebrate all that those with disabilities do to change the world for the better and work towards more accessible and inclusive communities. #IDPWD2024

It’s been two years without my friend, Rep. Donald McEachin. He gave me the encouragement I needed to run for Congress, invoking Thomas Paine’s words to rise above the summer soldier and sunshine patriot. I miss his wisdom and deep commitment to public service every day.

Wishing a very happy Thanksgiving to those across Virginia gathering together with families and loved ones this evening! 🦃

There’s no better champion for affordable health care and disability rights than the @LittleLobbyists. It’s been such an honor to work alongside these inspiring young people and their families since my very first day in Congress. 19thnews.org/2024/11/jennif…

This Transgender Day of Remembrance I’m thinking about every trans person whose life was tragically taken in an act of hate. Today and everyday, we must all stand against transphobic violence and bigotry targeting the LGBTQ+ community wherever it occurs.

Today marks three years of our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, revitalizing our nation's infrastructure and creating good paying jobs. I’m proud this historic investment is making commutes easier for Virginians, improving safety, expanding broadband, and more.
