Suhas is a small business owner and he understands that small businesses are the backbone of our economy. Virginia's 10th Congressional District is home to tens of thousands of federal civil servants and contractors, and Suhas will protect those jobs so that our community can continue to thrive.
In the Virginia General Assembly, State Senator Subramanyam has successfully passed legislation that brought down rising costs. For example:
- HB 528: Refunded over $300 Million to Virginia ratepayers in overcharges by the electric utility corporation (Chief Patron)
- HB 1832: Prevented a 40% toll hike on the Dulles Greenway Toll Road (Chief Patron)
- HB 2007: Requires transparency in drug pricing (Chief Co-Patron)
In Congress, Suhas will continue to deliver real results to grow our economy and create jobs. He supports manufacturing in the United States, investing in America's infrastructure, and continuing to strengthen the middle class.

The Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs was a devastating blow to women across the country and their ability to make their own health care decisions. In light of this, Suhas believes that Congress must prioritize making sure everyone, no matter their zip code, has access to affordable, reliable, and safe reproductive health care.
In the Virginia legislature, Suhas sponsored a constitutional amendment that would protect reproductive freedom in Virginia, and fought to protect women's health choices . He will always support the right to in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and a woman’s bodily autonomy.

Suhas and his wife have two young daughters who go to school in our community. Their school has armed security and bulletproof windows, and kids across our community do active shooter drills. This reality shouldn’t be our new normal.
In the legislature, Suhas has actively supported common sense gun safety laws, and he proudly pushed several measures which passed the General Assembly just this year, two of which were signed by a Republican Governor.
Suhas believes we can achieve serious progress on this issue while respecting the Second Amendment, and without undermining the rights of responsible gun owners.

Ashburn, VA – Today, Senator Suhas Subramanyam, Obama White House Alumnus and Candidate for Virginia’s 10th Congressional District, responded to Governor Youngkin’s signing and vetoes of critical gun violence prevention bills that he was the Patron or Chief Co-Patron on in the Senate.
“Passing common sense gun violence prevention measures will make people safer and save lives across the Commonwealth,” said Senator Subramanyam. “I want my two girls to live in a future where they feel safe in their schools instead of needing armed security, active shooter drills, and bulletproof windows.”
“While I’m glad we got some critical reforms signed in to law, we must do better. I am not giving up on passing common sense legislation to protect families like ours in the future. I am used to taking on tough fights, and will continue to stand up to anyone who gets in the way of making a positive difference for Virginia families.”
Three of Subramanyam’s critical bills were vetoed:
- Chief Patron for SB 273 - establishes a five-day waiting period for firearm purchases
- Chief Co-Patron for SB 2 - prohibits importation, sale, manufacture, or purchase of automatic weapons and large capacity ammunition feeding devices
- Chief Co-Patron for SB 99 - prohibits automatic weapons from being carried in public
Two of Subramanyam’s bills were signed in to law:
- Chief Co-Patron for SB 100 - prohibits manufacturing undetectable firearms (signed in to law with amendments)
- Chief Co-Patron for SB 210 - prohibits sale of devices to make weapons automatic
Subramanyam is the primary author of SB 273, which would establish a 5 day firearm purchase waiting period for any gun purchased in the Commonwealth of Virginia, intended to disrupt impulsive self-harm or acts of violence. Subramanyam’s bill passed the Senate a day after activist David Hogg visited the Virginia legislature to promote gun violence prevention.
Firearm purchase waiting periods are a top priority of several leading gun violence prevention organizations, including Everytown, Giffords, Moms Demand Action, and the American Academy of Pediatrics. Firearm purchase waiting periods are opposed by the National Rifle Association.
Senator Subramanyam is committed to breaking the stronghold the NRA and gun manufacturers have had over elected officials, instead siding with the majority of Virginians who want sensible gun control reforms that protect our communities.

Suhas believes we are facing a climate emergency that poses a grave threat to the future of our planet. Experts report that natural disasters have cost the United States more than $450 billion over the past three years, and are projected to cost $54 trillion globally by 2040. Those numbers fail to convey the devastation from lives lost, and the impacts on communities displaced by increasing climate crises. Suhas cannot imagine leaving his daughters with a world that is less habitable and more unstable because of a problem that we have the resources and knowledge to tackle now.
As a Senator and Delegate, he has advanced a bold agenda to promote the environment and conservation, all while creating jobs and promoting economic opportunity for small businesses.

With the Citizens United Supreme Court decision, our democracy has suffered under the weight of unlimited corporate influence in our politics. Suhas proudly signed the Big Money Out VA pledge to limit the influence of corporate money in our politics.
Suhas will continue to advocate for campaign finance reform. He also supports preventing Members of Congress from trading individual stocks and will be a strong advocate for preventing corruption in politics.

Suhas believes that our democracy is under attack. From the events on January 6th, 2021, which threatened to stop the certification of our presidential election, to attacks on the right to vote, it is more critical than ever to safeguard our fragile democratic institutions.
Suhas and his family made America their home because of the strength of our pluralistic democracy. As extremists work to erode American democracy, he is adamant that we must do all we can to protect our nation’s fundamental ideal that we have a voice in our government.
He will continue to fight against restrictive voter ID laws that are designed to suppress the vote, protect early voting to ensure greater access to the polls, and combat political gerrymandering so that voters choose who represents them, not the other way around.
He will also support legislation to reform our campaign finance laws to ensure middle-class families are not drowned out by money that corrupts our elections.

Suhas believes that we lower the cost of health care and expand access to those who can't afford it. He fought for transparency in prescription drug pricing and won, and he will continue to support the ability of Medicare to negotiate drug prices. Suhas will stand up to Big Pharma and work to end the chronic disease epidemic.
We also need to recognize the urgency of the mental health crisis and work together to pass meaningful legislation to help the most vulnerable among us. In Congress, I will take steps to expand access to mental health care providers and advocate for increasing research into preventative steps for our communities to support their neighbors.
As our loved ones get older, we also need to confront the issue of rising home-based, long-term care. Middle-class families should not have to exhaust their savings to provide care for elderly, sick, or disabled loved ones.

For more than a hundred years, America has been at the forefront of technological change. These emerging fields bring great opportunities, but without proper regulation, they can bring significant risk. We need an approach that allows American innovation to flourish, but protects consumers and business and makes clear what the rules are. Emerging technologies also have significant implications for national security, and policy makers need to be cognizant of these implications.
Blockchain technology solves an important problem in the digital and physical economy: trust. An immutable public ledger has already shown itself to be a valuable technology in areas ranging from shipping around the world all the way down to a new way of doing finance. Congress must take the lead in pushing forward responsible and stable regulation of blockchain technologies to allow this technology to flourish.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) – AI has the potential to fuel our economic growth for the coming decades but also presents a host of potential downsides, from classroom cheating all the way up to job loss and significant economic and political disruption. It is important that Congress and regulators create an environment that allows for innovation to flourish while also having clear rules for the road and ensuring strong consumer protections to prevent this technology from being abused.
