Congressman Eugene Vindman (VA-07)

As a 25-year Army veteran who served in Iraq, I’ve seen what happens when leaders rush into wars they don’t understand.

We cannot make the same mistakes.

Trump promised to lower costs on Day One.

Instead, he’s driving them up with a reckless, illegal war in the Middle East.

Wars spike oil prices. Oil prices raise the cost of gas, food, and everyday goods. Working families in Virginia and across the country pay the price — again.

Six Americans have already lost their lives.

But President Draft Dodger doesn’t care if more service members die.

Where does this war end?

President Trump himself doesn’t know.

An overwhelming majority of Americans are against sending our servicemembers to another long, protracted war in the Middle East.

But our draft dodger President doesn’t care. Why? Because it’s not his sons and daughters that will have to die.

It’s a tragedy, and one that should not have happened.

My heart goes out to the families, and I promise to fight for them, every service member and every military family in Congress everyday

The President owed them a reason, a clear purpose, a path to victory, and an exit strategy. They received none.

No one in the President’s family serves in uniform. None of them have ever served. He doesn’t understand on a human and personal level what it means when “the lives of courageous American heroes will be lost”, which may be why he sent them to war without any debate from his palace in Mar-a-Lago.

Today, three American families are going to be visited by military officers and chaplains to tell them that their loved ones are not coming home. Five others grievously wounded will forever be reminded of the president’s actions. Until yesterday, they had no reason to believe that would be the case.

Make no mistake: This is an illegal war.

Trump just launched a war in Iran — without Congress and without a plan.

As a 25-year vet who served in Iraq, I’ve seen how wars begin and how hard they are to end. Regime change from the air won’t work — but American troops will pay the price.

This is not peace. It’s chaos.

Spotsy’s Harrison & Salem Church intersection has seen 5 serious or fatal crashes in recent years.

I secured $850,000 to fix it.

Safety upgrades can’t wait.

Virginia’s energy system should reward affordability—not guaranteed profits. I’m pushing policies that put ratepayers first.

In America, no one is above the law.
Not the wealthy.
Not the well-connected.
Not the politically powerful.
Full transparency on the Epstein files is the only way to restore trust.

No family should choose between keeping the lights on and paying for groceries.

Utility rate hikes demand scrutiny.

That’s why I’m proud to be part of the Lowering Utility Bills Caucus that will push for transparency and real relief.

Happy birthday to a great friend and fighter for Virginia, Tim Kaine.

I’ve been honored to look up to you as a model for public service, and look forward to continuing our work to build a stronger, safer, and more prosperous Virginia.

I am honored to have @abigailspanberger.com’s endorsement. Her career embodies service to our Commonwealth and our nation. I look forward to continuing our work together to lower costs for families, keep our communities safe, strengthen our economy, and ensure that every Virginian has a fair shot.

Epstein Files Are Missing Records About Woman Who Made Claim Against Trump

If the Justice Department is withholding the release of Epstein files that mention Donald Trump’s name, that is corruption to a tee.

If there’s even a chance that the Commander-in-Chief assaulted a minor, the American people deserve to know.

Community Project Funding requires strong local support, transparency, and eligibility under existing federal programs.

That means projects are planned, vetted, and backed by the communities they serve. That’s how responsible governing should work.

At the State of the Union, President Trump claimed that gas is now below $2.30 in most states.

All across the country, that’s patently false.

In VA-07 alone, the average price of gas is at least $2.80. gasprices.aaa.com?state=VA

.@avindman.bsky.social and I just got back from Trump’s so-called State of the Union. And it was what we expected it to be: filled with chaos, cruelty, corruption.

What we didn't hear enough about? Costs.

Tonight at the State of the Union, Donald Trump will have to look the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s heinous crimes in the eye.

Accountability can’t be delayed or concealed any longer.

I’m bringing my brother, @avindman.bsky.social, whose courage in standing up for that same oath reminds us that no one is above the law.

Showing up isn’t an endorsement. It’s a reminder: the Constitution still matters — and millions of Americans are demanding accountability.

I’m attending the #SOTU for one reason: duty.

As a 25-year Army veteran, I swore an oath to the Constitution — not to a political party or a president.

That oath requires me to hold this administration accountable, even when we hear a speech disconnected from reality.

Whether it’s flood prevention in PWC, safer intersections in Spotsy, or workforce training in Woodbridge — I’m focused on real solutions for families in VA-07.

Less talk. More results.

Virginia is an energy-producing state — but families are still paying more to heat their homes and keep the lights on.

Something is broken.

We’re working to fix it.

Every dollar I secured for VA-07 came directly from local requests.

Community Project Funding works because it starts with local leaders identifying real needs — not Washington insiders picking favorites.

Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House, yet costs keep rising.

If they won’t take on utility monopolies, we will.
Families deserve relief.
