This week was a big week for my office-- The House voted on and passed my First bill, the FinCEN Improvement Act of 2019. This bipartisan bill, which I cosponsored with Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton, is a critical component of financial law enforcement. FinCEN is charged with promoting national security by safeguarding our financial system and this bill updates FinCEN’s mission to make it more efficient and effective.

Congressman Denver Riggleman (VA-05) announced today his staff will be hosting mobile office hours on Tuesday, March 19, 2019. Constituents are invited to meet with a representative of the office in Appomattox County, Bedford County, Campbell County, Cumberland County, and Nelson County.

U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R.1414, the FinCEN Improvement Act of 2019. Congressman Denver Riggleman was the lead Republican sponsor on this bill. H.R.1414 strengthens the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and ensures our law enforcement agencies have a clear directive from Congress to take on all challenges facing our financial system.

Last night I took a very difficult vote. Not difficult to decide on, but difficult to comprehend. H.Res. 183 was a resolution that passed the House last night condemning anti-Semitism as contradictory to the values of the United States. This is the second time we’ve had a resolution like this in the House of Representatives and I find it appalling that it takes a resolution from Congress to decide this. We also voted on H.R. 1, a Democratic bill that would weaken the voting system of the American people and take over elections D.C. Democrat style. This bill is a hog trough for swamp pigs.
