Connolly Announces New Effort To Hear From Americans Hurt By Trump Actions

Washington, February 19, 2025

Today, Congressman Gerry Connolly (D-VA), the Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, joined Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and House Democrats in announcing a new effort to hear directly from Americans harmed by the Trump Administration.

“If you have lost your job, been denied important services, or face other impacts because of Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s extreme, illegal, and unconstitutional actions, we need to hear directly from you,” said Connolly. “House Democrats are challenging Trump and Musk in Congress, the courts, and in our communities. With your personal stories, we will be better able to fight to protect you and other Americans.”

Americans hurt by recent Trump Administration policies can share their story at democraticleader.house.gov/shareyourstory. With this information, House Democrats will help prepare direct responses to expose and stop the Trump Administration’s extreme, illegal, and unconstitutional actions.

Ranking Member Connolly and Democrats on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform have also established a whistleblower tipline to gather information regarding potential wrongdoing, abuses of power, and threats to federal workers. Federal workers who have witnessed or been subjected to any action that violates their rights or goes against the Constitution can blow the whistle at oversightdemocrats.house.gov/contact/tip-line.

Constituents of Virginia’s 11th District can contact Congressman Connolly via his website, or by calling his office at (703) 256-3071.
