About

Meet Jen Kiggans

Congresswoman Jen Kiggans proudly serves Virginia's Second Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives, which includes all of Virginia Beach, the Eastern Shore, Suffolk, Franklin City, and Isle of Wight, as well as parts of Chesapeake and Southampton. Jen is a former Navy helicopter pilot, proud Navy wife to her husband and retired F/A-18 pilot Steve, and mom to four incredible kids who motivate her to fight for a strong, safe, and secure community, Commonwealth, and country. In Congress, Jen serves on the House Armed Services Committee, the House Committee on Natural Resources, and the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, where she chairs the Subcommittee on Oversight & Investigations. On each of these committees, she works on issues important to southeast Virginia every day.

Military Service

Jen served her country as a helicopter pilot in the U.S. Navy for ten years, flying H-46 and H-3 helicopters and completing two deployments to the Persian Gulf.

Positions

Inflation & Cost of Living

In Congress, Jen will do what Joe Biden and House Democrats have failed to do -- prioritize cutting inflation and lowering the cost of living for the American people. That means reducing federal spending -- not adding trillions of dollars in spending on socialist spending bills -- cutting taxes, reducing regulations on small businesses, and stopping the Democrats' radical spending priorities at all costs.

Jobs & Economy

As our nation and our economy continues to recover from COVID-19, Jen will focus on pro-growth policies that empower small businesses to do what they do best — create jobs, expand, and bolster our economy. She will stand up to Democrats who want to continue disincentivizing Americans to return to work and help industries critical to Virginia’s economic success hire new workers. She will fight to keep the regulatory burden low and the government out of the day-to-day operations of our businesses.

Border Crisis

Joe Biden and his Administration’s reckless open-border rhetoric and policies have led to a dire public health, security, and humanitarian crisis at the U.S. - Mexico border. Given the Biden Administration and the Democrats’ failure to address the situation, Jen will prioritize border security and ensure that federal immigration officials have the funding, training, and resources they need to stop the influx of drugs, crime, and violence into our country.

Law Enforcement & Public Safety

Jen knows our courageous first responders are heroes and deserve our respect. They put their lives on the line each and every day to keep our families and our communities safe. In the State Senate, Jen has fought tirelessly for our police, firefighters, EMS, and correctional officers to ensure they are fully funded, well-trained, and equipped with the best possible technology and resources necessary to stop crime, provide care, and keep Virginia Beach safe.
