What they stand for
Kiggans has spent time focused on a few core fights. Each is tied to bills actually introduced or votes actually cast.
- 01Military personnel should receive pay during government shutdownsKiggans has sponsored legislation across multiple Congresses to guarantee that servicemembers continue to receive pay during lapses in federal appropriations. She introduced the Pay Our Troops Act of 2026 (H.R.5401), the Pay Our Troops Act (H.R.9699), and the Pay Our Troops Act of 2025 (H.R.1932), each aimed at maintaining uninterrupted compensation for military personnel when government funding lapses.
- 02Coastal ecosystem protection warrants federal legislative actionKiggans sponsored the Bolstering Ecosystems Against Coastal Harm Act (H.R.5490), which was enacted into law. The legislation addresses protection of coastal ecosystems from harm, reflecting attention to the environmental and geographic concerns of Virginia's 2nd congressional district, which includes significant coastal areas along the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic coast.
- 03Servicemember healthcare choices merit legislative protectionKiggans sponsored the Servicemember Healthcare Freedom Act of 2025 (H.R.3547), legislation directed at healthcare options available to active-duty military personnel. The bill was introduced in committee and represents a reintroduction of prior-Congress legislation on the same subject.
