VA-02: She (R) is not even trying to win.

During an April appearance on “The John Fredericks Show,” Kiggans underscored her support for U.S. military actions against Iran, saying she “couldn’t be a stauncher supporter” of the effort.

“I look forward to just continuing to support not only the actions of the administration, but also our men and women in uniform and their families who are here in Hampton Roads,” Kiggans said during the interview.

But the congresswoman also acknowledged the economic fallout from the conflict, particularly the rising fuel prices that have become a growing frustration across Hampton Roads and beyond.

“I need gas prices to come back down,” she said. “I too am tired of paying high prices at the pump. We were doing good for a while. I know that the Iran conflict has a little bit to do with it, but we’ll keep working on it. We need that to come down before the midterms.”
