Congresswoman Jen Kiggans, representing Virginia's 2nd district, has recently shared several updates on social media addressing various concerns and events. These posts cover issues related to military family support, emergency declarations due to weather conditions, and the importance of the ship repair industry in Hampton Roads.

On February 18, 2025, Congresswoman Kiggans posted about leading a group of colleagues in sending a letter demanding answers regarding unpaid and unprocessed TRICARE claims. She emphasized the need for the Defense Health Agency to act swiftly in restoring payment services and providing necessary answers as "Military families deserve better."

Later that day, at 23:30 UTC, she announced that Virginia Governor had declared a State of Emergency ahead of an incoming winter storm affecting Hampton Roads. She advised residents to stay off the roads and follow local guidance while directing them to follow specific agencies for updates.

On February 19, 2025, Congresswoman Kiggans highlighted the significance of a strong Navy for peace restoration. She stressed that without the Hampton Roads ship repair industry, "our Navy's readiness & lethality would be reduced significantly" and called for continued support for this community to ensure they have the necessary tools for their mission.
