"Working to grow our economy and create jobs for the people of the 5th District continues to be a top priority for me in Congress. I am honored and grateful for the opportunity to serve as a Vice Chairman for the Subcommittee on Insurance, Housing, and Community Opportunity, and as a member of the Subcommittee on Capital Markets and Government-Sponsored Enterprises.

"With the critical work ahead that will directly affect Central and Southside Virginians, I look forward to supporting policies that will protect taxpayers by reforming Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, ensure that the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Bill will not hinder Main Street Banks, keep credit markets open to help small businesses expand and hire, and restore stability to the housing market.
