Issues & Legislation

Since joining the U.S. Senate in January 2007, I am very proud of the contributions that our staff has been able to make on behalf of the common good.  We delivered a new, robust 21st century GI Bill for our post-9/11 service members.  We created legislation that established an oversight commission to prevent wasteful and fraudulent spending in wartime contracting.  We have been the driving force behind a serious dialogue and legislation to completely reform our criminal justice system.  And we have consistently advocated for Virginia’s best interests on a broad range of other issues. 

I hope that you will take some time to review this Issues & Legislation section of my website.  I believe it provides a thorough overview of what we have been able to accomplish in my past years in office and where we are headed in the years to come.
