Thank you to @RDVirginia_ for coming out to celebrate National Home Ownership Month by volunteering at a USDA 523 Self-Help Habitat build today. Along side homebuilder/owners they laid 97% of the flooring in a 4 bedroom 2 bath home.

It’s clear that the site selection process for the new FBI Headquarters was politicized. My Virginia colleagues and I are calling for a pause in the relocation process to allow the Inspector General to investigate. Read the letter: wittman.house.gov/news/docum…

#ICYMI: Earlier this week, the @rockcenternyc Christmas tree was lit, signaling to many that the holiday season has officially begun. Just like every year since 2007, wood from the tree will eventually be used to help a family build their Habitat for Humanity house.
The 2023 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is officially lit 🎄

“I’m a fairly accomplished carpenter now. I’ve even framed a door, which is not easy. I never dreamed I would be a carpenter. And I really enjoy doing it, too. It is so much fun to see a house go up.” #HonoringMrsCarter

Three of my favorite people!
Yesterday's REAP announcement @ArtesianVA was also a "class reunion" of sorts, involving two former @RDVirginia_ state directors (Beth Green and Dr. Basil Gooden) pictured here w/current SD Hickman. Further proof that good ideas really do bring people together!
