@kaine.senate.gov war powers resolution may have failed, but the question it forced into the open still matters: Do the people still decide when America goes to war? Debate isn’t weakness. Oversight isn’t obstruction. And the Constitution still matters. 🇺🇸

Dangerous weather moves in this evening, PWC. ⚠️ Hazards expected: significant snow and ice, possible power outages, and roads becoming unsafe 🚗 Do not drive Sunday, limit travel tonight through Monday morning 🥫Get ready now: stock essentials and prepare for loss of heating and water.

Today, on the house floor, we honored the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Del. Delores McQuinn passionately reminded us that Dr. King’s unwavering commitment to justice, perseverance and equality continues to inspire millions to stand up for what is right.

This past week in Prince William County, I attended two town halls to ensure that I take your concerns to this year’s legislative session. We heard from you on 🏢The dangers of Data Center sprawl 👪The difficulty of raising a family during the affordability crisis 🏥Access to affordable healthcare

This week in Haymarket, I was proud to join the Haymarket Town Council and @pwcdanica.bsky.social to talk about the issues that matter most to citizens of the town and western Prince William County. 🏢Reining in unchecked data center sprawl 🏘️Tackling the cost of housing 🇺🇲Supporting our veterans

Happy New Year! I hope this holiday season has been joyful for you. Sadly many families have felt the squeeze this year as costs continue to skyrocket. That’s why in 2026 we will: ✅increase the housing supply ✅address child care costs ✅cut gov’t red tape

It was a pleasure to tour Cummins in Manassas along with @pwcdanica last week! We learned more about their engine and generator work, their community impacts, and how we can continue to partner on workforce development.

It was an honor to attend the ribbon cutting for the Puller Veterans Care Center, a state-of-the-art new skilled nursing facility for veterans in Vint Hill. Thanks to all who had a hand in the planning and construction, and to the hardworking medical staff who care for those who served.

Barbara Johns was a trailblazer: at only 16 years old, she led a student protest against school segregation that echoed throughout the nation. It was incredibly moving to see her statue in the U.S. Capitol as a proper representation of Virginia.

Earlier this month, I had the privilege to speak at the Symposium on Young American Men about the disastrous effects of social media on men and young people in general. It’s critical that lawmakers in Virginia and the rest of the country act to ensure we do not lose a generation of young men.

It was a pleasure celebrating Diwali with the Sikh Center of Virginia in Manassas! It is always a privilege to connect with the many communities of HD-21, celebrate their traditions, and hear about what folks are concerned about right now.

Happy Haymarket Day! My team and I had a fantastic time celebrating our community with the very people who make it great. Folks are excited and the momentum is real heading into Election Day!

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of presenting former Mayor Ken Luersen of Haymarket with the Commending Resolution celebrating his decades of public service. On behalf of the General Assembly, we thank you for your steadfast dedication to our community!

This was a special day. Like many folks in Prince William County, I love spending hours at McKay’s Used Books looking for good reads (and records!). I was proud to present McKay’s with a commending resolution, acknowledging the role they play in the greater Manassas community.

I was honored to present PWC’s Swift Water Rescue with a commending resolution. After Hurricane Helene’s devastation, the team heroically saved 24 people from the storm’s floodwaters. PWC is fortunate to have these folks protecting our communities and those across VA!

Joined FOSI Legislator’s Roundtable to discuss my bill limiting screen time for kids and how we can work together to make the internet a safer place for kids.  I look forward to continuing my work empowering parents and protecting our kids.

Huge thank you to Delegate Kathy Tran for coming out to join us in HD-21 to knock doors! We know how important it is to get the word out on everything Democrats are doing to support working families across the Commonwealth.
