Sixth District Perspectives with Congressman Ben Cline – A year in pictures
It has truly been an honor this past year to serve as the Congressman for Virginia’s Sixth Congressional District in the House of Representatives. Over the past twelve months, I have had the privilege to meet with constituents daily both in the District and in Washington. Having the opportunity to hear first-hand from those I represent allows me to best serve those who call VA-06 home. As we enter the new legislative session this coming week, I wanted to take a moment to look back on some of the highlights from 2019.
