Welcome, you have reached my Senate office inside the World Wide Web. I hope that this web site will provide you with the information necessary to keep you up to date on my activities and services as a United States Senator. I work to serve the Commonwealth of Virginia as well as America. As always, I look forward to hearing from the people of Virginia about legislation or other matters that affect your families and communities. Please feel free to contact my office. You can reach me by mail at 225 Russell Senate Office Building, Washington, DC 20510 or call my office at 202-224-2023. You can also contact my office via email message.

Legislative Priorities

Currently, I am focused on national defense, the economy, healthcare, and homeland security issues, (among many others) that are of utmost importance to Virginia and the nation. As chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, my top responsibility is to strengthen America's military and improve healthcare and the overall quality of life for the men, women and families of the United States Armed Forces. In addition, as a key member of the Senate's Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs I am working hard to protect our homeland and improve the efficiency of the federal government. Of course, protecting and preserving the environment remains a top priority.

Congress not in session.

Bulletin Board Alerts

It was my hope to begin accepting applications for my nominations to the U.S. Service Academies online this year. However, the system which is being developed for all Senate offices is not fully operational. Consequently, my process for applying for nominations will remain by mail as outlined in my Service Academy Nomination Packet for Classes Entering in 2007. Completed application forms, letters of recommendation, and official school transcripts must be received in my Norfolk Office by October 31, 2006.
