Rep. Abigail Spanberger, representing Virginia’s 7th District in the U.S. Congress, has made several public statements through her social media account on November 18 and 19, 2024. These statements address a range of topics from legislative efforts to reflections on her tenure and national security concerns.
On November 18, Rep. Spanberger announced collaborative efforts with colleagues including Rep. Garret Graves, Sen. Sherrod Brown, and Sen. Susan Collins to advocate for a vote on the Social Security Fairness Act in the Senate. She emphasized the importance of protecting “the earned benefits of millions of police officers, firefighters, and government employees.” The full post can be viewed here.
Later that day, Spanberger reflected on her achievements since taking office in January 2019 during an interview with a local news outlet. She highlighted key accomplishments such as returning federal funds to Virginians, making strategic community investments, and fostering bipartisan cooperation to achieve legislative goals. Her thoughts were shared in a tweet accessible here.
On November 19, Spanberger expressed concern over Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination for Director of National Intelligence (DNI). As a former CIA officer herself, she questioned Gabbard’s suitability due to alleged dissemination of Kremlin propaganda online and its potential impact on national security if included in presidential briefings. This statement was made alongside commentary by Jen Psaki and is available here.
