May was a very busy month, both in the district and in Washington, DC. 

I held a district-wide telephone town hall where I was able to connect with constituents and answer questions. I was also pleased to be joined by State Senator McClellan who provided updates on the General Assembly. Speaking with voters is one of the most important parts of my job and I was happy hear from you all during this tele-town hall.

My office also hosted several Mobile McEachins in May. During these meetings, my staff was able to connect with constituents in person to help them with issues regarding federal agencies. If you were unable to attend but are looking for help from my office, you can visit my website to begin the process.

This month, my team is hosting another Mobile McEachin in Hopewell on Thursday, June 30^th from 11AM to 2PM in Hopewell at the Appomattox Regional Library- Hopewell Branch (209 East Cawson St in Hopewell, 23860).

Please RSVP here to make an appointment.

I also participated in several climate related events, including one with the Virginia League of Conservation Voters to discuss the future of electric vehicles through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal. I also attended an event hosted by the Choose Clean Water where I was honored as a 2022 Clean Water Champion.

As the impacts of climate change accelerate, I will continue to dedicate my work to preserving our planet, and ensure all Virginians live in a healthy environment free of chemical hazards and pollution. We have a responsibility to leave a livable earth for future generations.

Finally, I am eager to attend your events around the district. If you have something that you would like myself or a member of my staff to attend, please fill out this form.

April was a busy month as we continued to deliver millions in Community Project Funding checks throughout Virginia’s Fourth Congressional District.

Last month, I presented two funding checks, one for $3,200,000 to Surry County and another for $2,432,000 to Petersburg, for water/ sewer service infrastructure upgrades.

I also presented two checks to VCU totaling over $1.3 million. One check for $996,000 went towards VCU’s RVA Gun Violence Prevention Framework, an evidence-based public health response to curb gun violence in Richmond. The other check was for $400,000 to support VCU’s RTR Teacher Residency Early Childhood Pathway, a program to help recruit, train, and retain high quality, early childhood educators throughout Central Virginia. 

That same day, I traveled to Hopewell to deliver another check for $750,000 for their Cattail Creek Crossing Project. This project will improve the strength and resiliency of the city’s storm drainage infrastructure and protect the integrity of nearby infrastructure systems and homes in the area.

Finally, at the end of April, I traveled to Henrico to deliver a $1,500,000 check to An Achievable Dream for the support of its program at Highland Springs Elementary School and expansion to middle school.

I was incredibly excited to advocate for this funding and deliver checks to these deserving localities. Serving constituents is a critical part of my job and I am excited to see these improvements made to the VA-04 community.

My constituent service team has also been working hard this year, and I am pleased to announce that they have already closed over 300 cases in 2022! If you are experiencing an issue such as a lost passport, missing benefits, late tax return, or other issues with a federal agency, we are here to help. To receive assistance, you can go to my website, fill out the necessary form, and a member of my staff will be in touch.

As we resume in person activities and events, you can also invite myself or a staff member to participate by visiting https://mceachin.house.gov/contact/request-appearance and we’ll make every effort to accommodate you. Serving you is the most important part of my job!
