Dear Friend,
We are settling into the August work period and I have considered it my privilege to visit numerous places throughout the district. I wanted to update you on a few of the visits and what is happening throughout Virginia's 7th.
Kicking Off Mobile Office Hours
On Friday I met with 30 constituents from Louisa and Goochland counties as part of a series of mobile office hours I am doing in all 10 counties of the 7th District this August.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, I met with constituents from Powhatan, Chesterfield, Nottoway and Amelia. During the meetings, every constituent who requested it, regardless of their political views, was able to have an open-ended dialogue with me about any issue or issues of their choosing.
I am grateful for everyone who took time out of their busy schedules to meet with me and express their views, even though many disagreed with me. These meetings give me a critically important opportunity to have a civil exchange of ideas with people on a variety of issues. I encourage everyone to sign up for my email newsletter to hear directly from me. I will continue to uphold my commitment to travel extensively throughout the 7th District to listen to my constituents, so that I can better represent you in Congress.
Listening to Job Creators and their Employees
On Monday, Rep. Meadows and I had the privilege of meeting with Charlie Luck and Doug Palmore of Luck Stone Corporation in Goochland. We discussed which transportation regulations have been helpful for the industry and which regulations have been harmful. And we had a thoughtful exchange of ideas for transportation legislation that Congress could consider.
I also attended a business roundtable with Associated Builders and Contractors in Henrico. It is these types of meetings that give me valuable insight into how I can best represent businesses in Congress.
Tuesday, I had the pleasure of visiting Moslow Wood Products in Powhatan. Businesses like Moslow are the heartbeat of our local economy. Thank you for letting me visit and learn more about what you do.
Connie and Brad Cooper opened the doors of their family owned and operated business, Steam Bell Brewery in Chesterfield to me and shared how they followed their dream and became successful owners of one of the coolest spots in town.
Stay in Touch
I am always interested in hearing your thoughts. If you have any comments, questions, or concerns, you can contact me directly by clicking here or by calling my office at (202) 225-2815.

Thank you,
Congressman Dave Brat
