Come run with me while I talk about stopping state support for the Confederacy in Virginia and the end of our government celebrating traitors in the Commonwealth.

I am deeply saddened to hear of former Senator Janet Howell's passing. It was an honor to serve alongside Janet. She devoted decades to serving the people of Fairfax and Virginia. My thoughts are with her family and loved ones during this difficult time. She will be missed.

Today marks the anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid becoming law, a major step toward ensuring health care isn't determined by your income or your luck. I'm proud of our work in the General Assembly to expand access to care - and I'll keep fighting to protect these programs.

Every kid deserves the freedom to run, play, and be a kid. Stories like Gavin's are why I introduced HB216. Kids who've overcome so much shouldn't have to fight their insurance company just to have the same opportunities as every other child. www.wtvr.com/news/local-n...

Every Virginian deserves to feel safe in their community, no matter who they are. Proud to have chief co-patroned Delegate @kathykltran.bsky.social's HB1015 to keep firearms out of the hands of people convicted of misdemeanor hate crimes and better protect vulnerable communities.

Virginia has led the way in defending our freedoms. This November, we have the chance to enshrine those freedoms in our Constitution. Vote YES to protect reproductive freedom, marriage equality, and voting rights for generations to come. Let's get it done.

Great to join my friend Congressman @pkryan.bsky.social last night. Proud to support a fellow West Point grad who's fighting for our democracy, standing up for veterans and working families, and showing that Democrats win tough races. We've got a lot of work ahead, and I'm ready for it.

On this run, I’m talking about how Virginia is leading the way in protecting our democracy, the progress we’ve made, and the work we still have left to do to keep moving our Commonwealth forward.

In the military, we swear an oath to defend the Constitution - not a political party. That's why I wrote the National Guard Integrity and Democracy Protection Act: to ensure Virginia's National Guard can never be weaponized to interfere in our elections.

Great joining the Sully Democrats and helping serve ice cream on a hot summer evening. Always appreciate talking with neighbors about the issues that matter most and how we keep Virginia moving forward.

I'm proud to have authored legislation to ensure students learn the truth about January 6th: a violent attack on our Capitol by MAGA insurrectionists trying to overturn the 2020 election for Donald Trump.

Every eligible Virginian deserves access to the ballot - including service members, seniors, disabled people, and working families. I'm proud to have helped make Virginia one of the easiest states in the country to vote, and I'll keep fighting every day to protect that right.

No matter how many lies Trump tells tonight, he can't rewrite reality: our elections are fair, secure, and accurate. I'll always fight to protect our democracy from election deniers who would rather spread lies and suppress voters than admit they lost.

Virginia's law enforcement officers are part of our communities and proud to be accountable - while Trump's new ICE cowardly hides behind masks. Proud to have chief co-patroned Delegate Charlie Schmidt's HB1482 to promote professionalism and identify ICE agents who are breaking the law.

Trump's MAGA Supreme Court continually puts politics over precedent, expanding his power at the expense of our democracy. We need court reform and justices who will uphold the Constitution - not rewrite it to benefit Donald Trump.

A stronger, more affordable Virginia starts with investing in Virginians. Come run with me and learn how our new budget delivers for working families, teachers, communities, and our Commonwealth’s future.
