Report from Congressman Gerry Connolly Congratulations to Dave Marsden on His Election to the Virginia State Senate Volume 19, Number 2 www.fairfaxdemocrats.org February 2010 Report from Congressman Gerry Connolly Congratulations to Dave Marsden on his election to the Virginia State Senate. Dave Marsden and his campaign team ran an excellent campaign and proved to voters in the 37th Senate District that quality candidates and quality campaigns do matter. This is a huge victory for Northern Vir- ginia Democrats and it sends a strong signal that voters in our region will continue to support pragmatic, results-oriented lead- ers with a record of reaching across party lines to get things done for Northern Vir- ginia. Dave Marsden is exactly that kind of leader. For years, the 37th district has been a Republican seat, recently occupied by far-right ideologue Ken Cuccinelli. Last night, we changed all that. We protected our Democratic majority in the state senate and now find that every state senator from tors, the DPVA, the state senate Democratic Together, we proved that quality can- Fairfax is a Democrat.

    May 19, 2016 The Honorable Don Beyer U.S. House of Representatives 431 Cannon HOB Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Rob Wittman U.S. House of Representatives 2454 Rayburn HOB Washington, DC 20515 Subject: House Passage of Beyer/Wittman LPTA Amendment Dear Congressmen Beyer and Wittman: On behalf of the nearly 400 member companies of the Professional Services Council (PSC), I am writing to thank you for your leadership to address the Department of Defense’s improper use of lowest-price technically-acceptable (LPTA) source selection criteria and to congratulate you on the inclusion of your LPTA amendment in the House-passed version of the Fiscal Year 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Our appreciation extends to the cosponsors of your amendment; Reps. Gerry Connolly, Doug Lamborn, Barbara Comstock, and Dutch Ruppersberger. As you well know, the amendment would establish common-sense criteria for the use of LPTA source selection procedures across the department. The amendment aligns well with recent DoD internal guidance which, if followed, will avoid an overreliance on LPTA that hinders DoD’s ability to maintain a best-in-class competitive edge; inhibits DoD’s flexibility in making valuable tradeoffs between cost, innovation, and capabilities; and risks higher long-term costs due to mission failures and contract rework actions. We are further encouraged that similar bipartisan legislation introduced by Senators Mark Warner and Mike Rounds has been included in the Senate Armed Services Committee-passed version of the bill that we hope will pass the Senate and then be included in the final NDAA. In closing, we thank you, as well the amendment cosponsors, for your attention and leadership on this issue.

  • NVTC COMMENDS CONGRESS for SUPPORTING PUBLIC TRANSIT Emergency Relief Bill Includes $25 Billion for U.S
    Click here to view in your browser. March 27, 2020 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Matt Friedman, NVTC 571-457-9516 NVTC COMMENDS CONGRESS FOR SUPPORTING PUBLIC TRANSIT Emergency relief bill includes $25 billion for U.S. public transit agencies Arlington, Va. - The Northern Virginia Transportation Commission thanks the Northern Virginia Congressional delegation on their leadership in passing the CARES Act. The legislation provides $25 billion in emergency relief for public transit agencies in the wake of COVID-19. NVTC particularly thanks Sens. Mark Warner and Tim Kaine and Reps. Gerry Connolly, Don Beyer and Jennifer Wexton for ensuring our transit systems are provided with an economic lifeline during these challenging times. The money for public transit, which will be apportioned by the Federal Transit Administration, will immediately benefit WMATA, VRE, and PRTC/Omniride. Nationwide, the transit funding includes: $13.9 billion for urbanized areas $1.8 billion for rural areas $1.7 billion for areas of high growth or high density $7.6 billion for state of good repair The money is designated to pay for the additional transit operating costs associated with making systems safe for employees and riders, as well as cover revenue losses during these period of reduced service and ridership. While this financial support is a necessary first step to keep transit agencies operating now and in the future, Transit Center warns that the financial impact of COVID-19 on transit agencies could range from $26 to $38 billion annually. We urge members of Congress to provide additional money for public transit in future emergency relief legislation.

In between, a number of important events occur, all of which honor the sacrifices made by law enforcement officers who put themselves in harm’s way to serve the public. Following the Blue Mass on May 7, members of the United States House and Senate presented the Federal Congressional Badge of Bravery to seven Special Agents that are part of DEA’s Foreign Deployed Advisory and Support Team (FAST) for actions they took in Afghanistan. The medals were presented in a ceremony held at the Dirksen Senate Office Building to Special Agents Matthew Fischer, Paul Harris, Jared Johnson, Joe Piersante, Brent Poortinga, Matthew Stewart, and Justin Vanderbilt. Congress created the Federal Law Enforcement Congressional Badge of Bravery to honor exceptional acts of bravery in the line of duty by federal law enforcement officers. The medals are awarded annually by the U.S. Attorney General and are presented by the recipients' Congressional representatives. All the agents who received the Badge of Bravery on May 7 are Virginia residents. Accordingly, Virginia Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, along with members of the Virginia delegation from the House of Representatives, including Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Representative Gerry Connolly, and Representative Rob Wittman, presented the awards.
