The archived posts of U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger. Proudly served Virginia's 7th District in the U.S. House of Representatives. This is an inactive account.
Today is my final day representing Virginia’s Seventh District in the U.S. House.
Serving as your voice in Congress has been the greatest honor of my life.
As a former CIA case officer, I saw the men and women of the U.S. intelligence community put their lives on the line every day for this country — and I am appalled at the nomination of Tulsi Gabbard to lead DNI. (1/3)
As a Member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am deeply concerned about what this nomination portends for our national security.
My Republican colleagues with a backbone should speak out. (3/3)
When I began as a federal agent, I carried a gun and two extra magazines every day.
My mags were marked “for law enforcement use only” because they held more than 10 rounds. At that time, federal law limited magazine capacity to 10 rounds outside of law enforcement use. (1/3)
Not only is she ill-prepared and unqualified, but she traffics in conspiracy theories and cozies up to dictators like Bashar-al Assad and Vladimir Putin. (2/3)
🚨 TODAY, I’m reintroducing my bipartisan legislation to ban Members of Congress, their spouses, and their dependent children from trading individual stocks while serving the American people.
Soon, I'll vote to establish a commission to investigate the January 6 insurrection.
That day, I was trapped in the House gallery with colleagues and members of the media whose evacuation route had been blocked. I saw selfless officers fend off this attack on our democracy. 1/3
The sad reality is that requiring would-be mass murderers to reload saves lives — permitting people escape time and law enforcement response time.
This is why I support legislation to limit magazine capacity. (3/3)
🚨 The House just UNANIMOUSLY passed my bipartisan bill to get computers to veterans, students, and seniors!
By allowing more surplus government computers to be refurbished and distributed, this bill would help reduce waste and connect more veterans to job opportunities.
I have studied the articles of impeachment, both Republican and Democratic reports, deposition transcripts, and public testimony. With a heavy heart and a solemn devotion to our Constitution, I will vote in favor of both articles. Read my full statement: bit.ly/2YYhpNQ
As a former CIA officer, I'm alarmed by Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination to serve as DNI.
If she spreads Kremlin propaganda online, why wouldn't she include it in the President's Daily Brief?
This isn't about a political party — it’s about America's national security.
