Congresswoman Jen Kiggans, representing Virginia's 2nd district, shared updates on her recent activities through a series of tweets. Kiggans, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress since 2023 after replacing Elaine Luria, often communicates with her constituents via social media and newsletters.

On March 19, 2025, Kiggans highlighted the importance of staying connected with her constituents through her weekly newsletter. She stated: "Whether I'm at home in #VA02 or up in Washington, the best way to stay connected is through my weekly newsletter...! Check out my most recent Weekly Debrief".

Later that day, she announced the introduction of a new bill aimed at addressing retirement benefit disparities for enlisted Coast Guard members. In her tweet, she expressed: "Yesterday, I introduced a bill to ensure enlisted Coast Guard members receive the same 20-year retirement benefits as members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Space Force." She emphasized the need to recognize their service and sacrifice.

Following this announcement, Kiggans provided additional information about the proposed legislation by directing readers to further details online: "Read more about this bill here!".
