WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Monday, August 18, Congressman Eugene Vindman (Va.-07) toured local businesses and met with constituents across Fredericksburg, Virginia. Vindman directly heard from community members about issues ranging from food assistance and senior services to economic growth and supporting local businesses.
“My team and I are fighting hard to deliver real results across Virginia’s Seventh District,” said Vindman. “Hearing directly from folks who are impacted by the policies we create in Washington helps us do just that. I’m grateful to each of the Virginia businesses and non-profits that opened their doors and helped me facilitate these important conversations.”
