<p>Jim was a founder of the New Democrat Coalition (NDC), which is now the largest caucus in the U.S.   congress.

<p>Jim oversaw the budgets for the Environmental Protection Agency, Indian Affairs, Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Smithsonian, and the National Endowment for the Arts and the Humanities. As a senior member of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee for 20 years, he oversaw all aspects of the defense budget, including weapons procurement, cybersecurity, research and development, military medical research, military base closures, civilian personnel, and overseas contingency operations.</p>
<p>Among major projects in Northern Virginia, Jim helped obtain $1.5 billion for extending Metrorail to Dulles International Airport; $2.5 billion to replace the Woodrow Wilson Bridge between Washington, D.C. and Alexandria, Virginia; $180 million to widen Route 1 in Fairfax County, and hundreds of millions of dollars in support of Virginia schools, housing, health centers, and infrastructure. He directed billions of dollars into government contracting in his district and added 20,000 military personnel to his Congressional district in the last round of military defense (BRAC) closures.</p>
<p>Prior to joining Congress, Jim served as Mayor of the City of Alexandria, Va.
