Congressman Frank Wolf (R-VA) is serving in his 16th term in Congress. Wolf sits on the House Appropriations Committee, where he is the lead Republican on the Commerce-Justice-Science subcommittee. He also serves on the Transportation and Housing and Urban Development and State and Foreign Operations subcommittees. In addition, he is the co-chairman of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, a bipartisan organization made up of more than 200 Members of Congress who work together to raise awareness about international human rights issues, and he also co-chairs on the Sudan Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives. Wolf has traveled to Sudan six times since 1989, and was the first member of the House of Representatives to visit Darfur, the violence-ravaged western region of Sudan.
