I am excited that Governor Spanberger signed my bill HB215 into law on the 61st anniversary of the Voting Rights Act. With her signature, Virginia rejoins the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) to ensure our voter rolls are accurate and up to date.

Today we commemorate 61 years of the historic Voting Rights Act. I am proud to champion and support legislation that expands the right to vote here in the Commonwealth with my colleagues in the House.

Today is National Intern Day! Thank you to our summer intern, Adwoa, for all the great work and support she provides to our team. She has a bright future in public service ahead of her!

Trump used a primetime address to lie about elections again, 6 years after losing in 2020, while gutting the agency built to protect them. I’ve got a message for the President: nobody is losing sleep over 2020. They’re losing sleep over rent, groceries, & gas. Read the room buddy!

This July, we honor the memory of Bebe Moore Campbell, a mental health advocate who worked to shed light on the mental health needs of the Black community and other underrepresented communities. #BIPOCMentalHealthMonth

Honored to be appointed by Speaker Scott to serve on these important commissions. This is a chance to keep delivering for District 19 and for families across Virginia. I am ready to get to work; thank you for the trust and the opportunity.

Today I celebrate the fathers, grandfathers, uncles, stepfathers, and chosen family who shape our lives. I also hold space for those for whom today aches; the grieving, the longing, the ones carrying loss. Wherever today finds you, you are seen. Happy Father’s Day!

Earlier this month I joined the Virginia Black Chamber of Commerce as they cut the ribbon on their new statewide headquarters in Downtown Fredericksburg. Black-owned businesses build our communities; this is what investing in them looks like. Congratulations, VABCC.

Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas finally learned they were free—two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Today, we honor that freedom, remember the struggle behind it, and recommit to the work still ahead. Happy Juneteenth. ✊🏾

Great to spend time with @EASCarpenters yesterday — 43,000 skilled tradesmen and women building our communities and fighting for fair wages, safe job sites & dignity on the job. When labor is strong, working families are strong.

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Proud to celebrate the LGBTQ+ members of the Virginia General Assembly; their leadership is building a stronger, more inclusive Commonwealth for every Virginian.

HB26 has FINALLY been signed into law! Virginians serving time for marijuana offenses no longer treated as crimes now have a path home. Years of hard work from former patrons and advocates, but we got the job done!

Today @GovernorVA signed HB625, capping co-pays on life-saving prescriptions so Virginians won’t choose between rent and the medication keeping them alive. Proud to carry this with @RussetPerry. Thanks to every advocate, patient, & family who pushed this across the finish line.

Today I celebrate the mothers, grandmothers, aunties, foster moms, and chosen family who shape our lives. I also hold space for those for whom today aches; the grieving, the longing, the ones carrying loss. Wherever today finds you, you are seen. Happy Mother's Day.

Big day for Virginia healthcare. Governor Spanberger has signed HB746 into law — because healthcare should be accessible to every Virginian, no matter your zip code. ✅ Expanding Access to Care ✅ Reducing Barriers ✅ Protecting Patient Safety More providers. Less red tape.

Some changes this year (it’s different with a trifecta!) but 💙 to see so many repeat names at top of the scorecard, incl. @henson4virginia.bsky.social, @marcussimon.com, @hopeforvirginia.bsky.social, @kathykltran.bsky.social, @jenniferboysko.com, @ebpforva.bsky.social, @barbarafavola.bsky.social

🚨FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE‼️🚨 House Bill 38, introduced by Delegate Henson, mandates mental health training in schools and has been signed by the governor.

Lots of kudos in committee for the legislative process (starting w a study, heavy stakeholder involvement, substantive rewriting by committees to prevent “mission creep,” etc.) as this important @henson4virginia.bsky.social bill to allow experienced PAs to practice w/o supervisory physician.

Thank you all for your kind birthday wishes yesterday! Another trip around the sun. 🥂

Thankful for the endorsement of Delegate Rozia Henson, Jr. His leadership and dedication to public service reflect the values we share—putting people first and building a stronger future for Woodbridge ✨ @henson4virginia.bsky.social

Today, we honor the brave men and women who have served our nation. To all our veterans: thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your continued dedication to our communities. #VeteransDay #ThankYouVeterans

Congratulations to Delegate Rozia Henson for a well-deserved victory in HD 19! @henson4virginia.bsky.social

HD-19, thank you! 🎉 Deeply honored to continue serving you in the Virginia House of Delegates. Your trust means everything to me. Now we get back to work. Ready to get into good trouble, fight for what you need, and stand up for every Virginian. 💪 Let's keep building the future we deserve!

Twenty-four years later, we honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11th and the countless heroes who ran toward danger. Their memory calls us to cherish our communities, support one another, and never take our freedoms for granted.
