Donate TO STAND WITH VINDMAN for Congress

Eugene is committed to building an economy that delivers for working families and strengthens the middle class. His top priority is cutting taxes and lowering costs for working families across the Commonwealth and the country. In Congress, Eugene is working to crack down on anti-competitive business practices, lower costs for working families, support small businesses, and ensure economic development creates opportunity in every community. Vindman supports an all-of-the-above energy strategy, an end to costly foreign wars, and smart economic policies that lower gas prices and utility bills for American families. He has also warned that reckless tariffs can drive up costs on everyday goods, disrupt supply chains, and make it harder for working families and small businesses to get ahead.

Eugene is working to restore trust and integrity in our government by standing up to corruption and fighting for transparency. As a former ethics lawyer, prosecutor, and National Security Council staff legal advisor, Eugene understands the importance of accountability and the dangers of meddling with American institutions. He believes Congress must lead by example and uphold a standard of honest and effective governance. To restore faith in government, he is leading the congressional efforts to ban Members of Congress from participating in prediction markets and from lobbying their former colleagues after leaving office. He also supports a ban on Members of Congress trading individual stocks. He is also a strong proponent of bipartisanship and is committed to working across the aisle to address the real issues facing our communities.

As a retired U.S. Army and Iraq War veteran who served 25 years, Eugene is deeply committed to supporting our veterans and military families. On the House Armed Services Committee, he’s fighting to lower everyday costs for military families, expand access to high-quality health care, strengthen mental health services, and ensure every veteran receives the benefits they’ve earned. He’s also working to make sure our service members have the tools and resources they need to combat modern threats and adversaries. 

He knows how challenging the transition to civilian life can be — and he’s working to advance policies that help veterans thrive long after their service ends. He has passed a pay raise for the troops, fought to ensure members of the military get paid during government shutdowns, and authored bipartisan bills to lower the cost of prescription drugs, housing, and college for military families.

Eugene believes that every American — no matter their income or zip code — deserves access to quality, affordable health care. In Congress, he’s working to lower the cost of prescription drugs, strengthen the Affordable Care Act, protect Medicare and Medicaid, and close the gaps in access that leave too many communities behind. He also leads a commonsense bill to lower prescription drug costs for service members, military families, and veterans while saving taxpayers billions.

Eugene is a former prosecutor and a strong supporter of law enforcement. He is committed to ensuring law enforcement officers and first responders have the funding, training, and tools they need to keep our communities safe. He is working to ensure every local police department is fully funded — having delivered more than $2.75 million in federal funding to law enforcement agencies this year — and has led bipartisan efforts to combat the fentanyl crisis and save lives. He also understands that lasting public safety also requires addressing the root causes of crime, like poverty, addiction, and lack of opportunity.

Eugene believes that data centers need to pay their fair share. Virginia should welcome innovation, but not at any cost. He continues to assert that data centers should not be near any National Parks, schools, or near residential communities. He regularly hears from folks who are concerned about rising energy costs, environmental impacts, and siting of data centers, as well as those who are worried about the impact AI could have on their jobs. He shares their concerns. Eugene is committed to listening to his communities doing everything he can to secure a promising future for working families and keep the American Dream alive.

It is important that Congress and regulators understand technology and create an environment that allows for innovation to flourish while also having clear rules for the road. Eugene has supported AI legislation to study these issues and voted for commonsense guardrails that protect consumers, safeguard workers, and preserve our national security. Clear guardrails will allow these technologies to thrive, drive growth, protect consumers and preserve national security. The U.S. has always been — and must continue to be — the global leader in innovation.

As we develop new technologies, we need to ensure that workers and the environment are protected, additional costs are put on workers struggling under rising prices, and that we create jobs and vibrant livelihoods for the middle class. I am eager to work with workers, labor, and industry to build the most innovative economy on Earth that delivers for working families.

Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare reflect a basic promise our country makes to its people: that after a lifetime of hard work, you should be able to retire with security, stability, and dignity. For decades, Americans have paid into these programs with the expectation that they will be there when they need them. In Congress, Eugene will stand firmly against any attempt to cut Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid. He will always fight to protect and strengthen these essential programs for the millions of Americans who rely on them today and for future generations.

As a proud dad of two children who attended Prince William County public schools, Eugene understands just how essential a strong public education system is — for both our kids and for the future of our country. He believes every child deserves access to a high-quality education, regardless of their zip code. That’s why he’s fighting to ensure Congress provides the funding, resources, and support our schools need so that every student has a fair shot at success. He is also the leader of a bipartisan effort to restore quality education for students nationwide by getting phones out of K-12 classrooms.

Eugene brings decades of national security experience to Congress — from 25 years of service in the U.S. Army to his role as an advisor on the National Security Council to investigating war crimes in Ukraine. He’s dedicated his career to defending our country and upholding the values that keep us strong. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, Eugene is committed to strengthening our global alliances and ensuring our military remains equipped, ready, and capable of confronting the threats of today and tomorrow.

Virginia is the last state in the South without an abortion ban, and Eugene is fighting to protect women’s reproductive freedom. He is the proud sponsor of legislation to restore abortion access nationwide, and as a member of the Reproductive Freedom Caucus, he will keep working to protect Virginians’ access to vital reproductive care. The government should not have a voice in Americans’ private health care decisions. Eugene will vote against any attempt to ban reproductive healthcare including abortion, IVF, or contraceptives. He will also fight to ensure that servicewomen never have to worry about accessing reproductive healthcare no matter where they are stationed.

As the representative of thousands of federal workers, service members, and public servants, Eugene understands how critical the federal workforce is to keeping the country running. He strongly supports protecting federal workers from political attacks and reckless government shutdowns, rebuilding agencies weakened by DOGE-driven cuts and chaos, and ensuring public servants are treated with the dignity, respect, and stability they deserve.

Eugene’s story begins with America opening its doors to his family in a moment of need. As an immigrant and refugee, he believes we can secure our border while still leading with decency. He knows that America is at its best when we treat people with dignity and respect, and that is why he joined community leaders in standing against proposed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement mega-detention facilities in Stafford and Hanover. 

Eugene supports cracking down on transnational crime and violent criminals, alongside simpler, legal pathways for people who pay their taxes and are trying to do things the right way. He believes our focus should be on real threats, not punishing the families and small businesses that strengthen our communities.

As the only Virginian on the House Agriculture Committee, Eugene understands the vital role agriculture plays in both Virginia’s economy and our nation’s food supply. He knows that food security is national security — and that supporting our family farms is essential to both. Eugene is committed to expanding market access for farmers, investing in rural infrastructure, and strengthening key nutrition programs that benefit Virginia families and producers alike.

Investing in American manufacturing and modern infrastructure is essential to building a stronger economy in Virginia. By expanding domestic production, strengthening supply chains, and upgrading our roads, bridges, ports, and energy systems, we can create good-paying jobs, support small businesses, lower costs, reduce reliance on foreign competitors, and most importantly, improve quality of life for Virginians. 

Eugene knows that economic growth depends on making it easier for people and goods to move efficiently. As a commuter and former slug rider, Eugene knows firsthand the frustration of sitting in Virginia traffic. That’s why he secured millions of dollars for community-requested transportation and infrastructure projects that will improve safety, reduce congestion, and help Virginians spend less time on the road and more time focused on their families, jobs, and businesses.

Growing up, Eugene saw firsthand how his father’s union benefits helped lift his family into the middle class, giving him a deep understanding of the role unions play in creating economic opportunity and supporting good-paying jobs. That’s why he strongly supports workers’ right to organize, collectively bargain, and earn fair wages for their work.

Eugene believes that confronting climate change is both a moral responsibility and an economic opportunity. He supports bold investments in clean energy, efforts to reduce carbon emissions, transitioning away from fossil fuels, lowering energy bills for Virginians and policies that position Virginia as a leader in the green economy. Eugene sees the potential for clean energy industries to create good-paying jobs across the Commonwealth — and he’s fighting to turn these ideas into reality. As a father of two, he’s committed to protecting our environment for the next generation.
