Additionally, she will update attendees about her bipartisan bill to make sure children can be seated next to their parents on flights for no extra fees and discuss the more than $12.9 million in federal funding she secured this year for community-requested projects throughout Virginia’s Seventh District.

“I am dedicated to delivering real solutions for the Virginians I represent. On Thursday, I look forward to taking questions, hearing concerns, and sharing updates about my work on Capitol Hill and at home in Virginia’s Seventh District,” said Spanberger. “Every opportunity I have to speak directly with Virginia’s families, seniors, Veterans, and small business owners helps me better advocate on their behalf through my work in Congress. I hope many Virginians will dial in to the conversation on Thursday night.”
