History was recently made in Congress. For the first time, a member addressed colleagues on the floor – using Artificial Intelligence. From July 25, 2024, here's Democrat from Virginia – Jennifer Wexton: I hope I can be a voice, even an AI voice, for Americans facing accessibility challenges and other disabilities because, too often, people only see us for that disability. In truth, we are so much more. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing this Disability Pride Month and in celebrating the strength and perseverance of the disability community. Why did Congresswoman Wexton need Artificial Intelligence to speak? How did AI pull it off? And what was did she sound like before AI cloned her voice?

Virginia GOP Chairman Rich Anderson joined WMAL's "O'Connor and Company" radio program on Monday to discuss this weekend's primaries in Virginia. https://twitter.com/VA_GOP VA-10 PRIMARY: Northern Virginia Republicans chose retired Navy captain and political newcomer Hung Cao to face Democratic Rep. Jennifer Wexton in the race for the 10th District. Cao, a 25-year Navy veteran and first-time candidate, defeated the best-funded candidate with an eight-year record of public service, Prince William County Supervisor Jeanine Lawson (R-Brentsville). Lawson raised over $920,000 — more than twice what Cao pulled in — and had backing from Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), the House Republican Conference chairwoman. VA-8 PRIMARY: Republicans in the 8th District selected Karina Lipsman as their nominee at a GOP convention as well, though Republicans do not typically fare well in the deep-blue Northern Virginia district. Incumbent Rep. Don Beyer Jr. and Victoria Virasingh are running in the Democratic primary for U.S. House Virginia District 8 on June 21, 2022. VA-5 PRIMARY: Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) survived a primary challenge at a GOP nominating convention in Virginia's 5th Congressional District on Saturday, coasting to victory with an overwhelming margin of the vote. Good, one of the most conservative members of the House, faced a challenge from retired Air Force colonel Dan Moy, the chairman of the Charlottesville GOP Committee, who had accused Good of being “missing in action” on issues of national defense and the local economy. But Moy's argument swayed few, as Good enjoyed broad support from fellow Trump loyalists and religious conservatives in the reliably red district.
