Serving the First Congressional District of Virginia since 2007, Rob has been focused on strengthening our military and supporting veterans, promoting economic development through fiscal responsibility, fixing our crumbling infrastructure, increasing access to high-speed internet, and promoting workforce development through Career and Technical Education (CTE) and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) programs.
In the U.S. Congress, Rob serves on the House Armed Services Committee and the Committee on Natural Resources, where he is well-positioned to represent the needs of Virginia's First District. He has quickly earned a reputation for being an advocate for our men and women in uniform and for being a champion of the Chesapeake Bay.
As a child of adoption, I value protecting the sanctity of life and will continue to be the standard-bearer for upholding family values. I believe that all life is precious and deserves to be protected and that it is our role to protect the lives of the unborn and ensure women have access to the care and information they need. As a stalwart defender of life, I have voted to defund Planned Parenthood; taxpayers should not be forced to participate in the abortion industry. We should look to protect the lives of the unborn and ensure women have access to the care they need. We should ensure all mothers know what options are available to them, including adoption. That is why I authored The Adoption Information Act, which would require family planning services to provide pamphlets containing contact information of adoption centers to a person receiving family planning services at the time the person inquiries about abortion services. This piece of legislation is a simple step we can take to make a world of difference. We can all agree that the most vulnerable members of our community deserve a place to call home and a place to find and reach their full potential. |
