Congressman Ben Cline, representing Virginia’s 6th district, shared insights on various topics through a series of tweets. Serving in the U.S. Congress since 2019 after replacing Bob Goodlatte, Cline has previously held office in the Virginia House of Delegates from 2002 to 2018.
On May 15, 2025, Congressman Cline remarked on economic developments by noting that “Inflation fell to 2.3% in April—the lowest since 2021. Wholesale prices just saw their biggest drop in over five years.” He attributed these changes to “returning to Trump-era policies: cutting red tape, unleashing energy, and putting America first.”
Later that day, he expressed appreciation for contributions made by key figures at a Republican Study Committee meeting. He tweeted that “It was great to hear from Border Czar @RealTomHoman and @EDSecMcMahon at this week’s @RepublicanStudy Meeting.” Cline highlighted significant improvements stating that “Illegal border crossings are down 96%, and we’re working to return control of education to the states.”
In another tweet on the same date, Congressman Cline addressed federal spending concerns related to retired service weapons. He announced his support for a bill introduced by Representative Russell Fry aimed at allowing law enforcement officers to purchase these firearms instead of destroying them. He described it as “a commonsense fix that saves taxpayer dollars and respects those who served.”
Ben Cline was born in Stillwater, Oklahoma in 1972 and currently resides in Fincastle. An alumnus of Bates College with a BA degree earned in 1994, he also holds a JD from the University of Richmond obtained in 2007.
