Rep. Ben Cline, who represents Virginia’s 6th district in the U.S. Congress, released a statement following the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro by U.S. forces.
“Protecting our people, securing our border, and dismantling drug trafficking networks is non-negotiable. We will use every lawful tool available to stop this crisis, hold those responsible accountable, defend our sovereignty, and keep American families safe,” said Rep. Ben Cline.
Cline has served in Congress since 2019 after replacing Bob Goodlatte. Before his election to Congress, he was a member of the Virginia House of Delegates from 2002 to 2018 and worked as an attorney and assistant prosecutor. He was born in Stillwater, Oklahoma in 1972 and now lives in Fincastle with his wife Elizabeth and their two children. Cline graduated from Bates College in 1994 and earned a law degree from the University of Richmond in 2007.
