The Virginian Review | December 3rd, 2025 Cline offered an easygoing, behind-the-scenes look at life in Washington, sharing stories from the Capitol, explaining how legislation moves through Congress, and discussing the challenges of representing a large and diverse district. Though students were initially reserved, some asked thoughtful questions, and Cline took the time to answer each one. Teachers said the visit helped make classroom lessons more tangible by connecting them with real-world experiences. “Alleghany High School is very fortunate that Congressman Cline visits each year to speak with the senior class. His willingness to come in and talk with students provides a valuable and meaningful learning experience, offering a great learning activity that brings government and civic engagement to life,” said Kristy Humphreys, who teaches government, economics, and personal finance at AHS. A Lexington High School graduate and attorney, Cline now resides in the Fincastle area of Botetourt County. He represents Virginia’s 6th Congressional District, which spans the Alleghany Highlands, the Roanoke Valley, and much of the Shenandoah Valley. A Republican serving his fourth term, Cline is also a member of the Problem Solvers Caucus, a bipartisan group focused on addressing issues collaboratively. |
