On July 11, 2025, Kiggans emphasized the importance of maintaining military capabilities at a key East Coast installation. She stated: “We must ensure that the East Coast Master Jet Base supports fifth-generation strike fighters!”
Later that day, she reaffirmed her commitment to supporting legislation aimed at improving the wellbeing of residents in her district. In reference to recent legislative efforts, she wrote: “As the representative for Virginia’s Second District, I am committed to supporting legislation that improves the wellbeing of my constituents. If the One Big Beautiful Bill had not passed—this would have been the consequence:” (posted on July 11, 2025).
In a subsequent post on July 11, 2025, Kiggans endorsed proposed sanctions targeting Russia’s government. She stated: “I fully support @SpeakerJohnson’s call for these secondary sanctions to limit the Putin regime’s access to weapons. The United States will not tolerate hostile actions against sovereign, peaceful countries.”
