#SustainableInfrastructure The days may be getting shorter, but solar energy is here to stay at AlexRenew. Rooftop solar is just one aspect of sustainability for the pumping station, which is on track to meet LEED Gold ratings.

Something I’m really excited about? Bringing back the funding to build the nationwide EV charging infrastructure we were so close to achieving! A boon for unions, a boon for electric co-ops, a boon for everyday Americans who want to cut gas from their commutes and help the environment. EVs forever.

Chris Mann is a thoroughly decent guy and a really good lawyer. He will serve the people well. Heck yeah Washburn Law class of 2010

NEW: For over a century, Virginia has banned anyone convicted of any felony of their right to vote ***for life.*** Voters just abolished this Jim Crow-era policy. A huge result from Virginia:

240 Democrats in the House. 53 Democrats in the Senate. We can make this happen tomorrow. Get out and vote for every Democrat on your ballot. Save America from MAGA.

This is great news. The current system deeply disadvantages Alexandria. The governor taking the lead here gives us an opportunity to build a system that properly supports every student in Virginia. I look forward to working with her on this! virginiamercury.com/2026/11/02/v...

Today, I submitted a comment to the SCC asking that they reject the proposed merger between Dominion and NextEra. Like many of my constituents, I recognize that this deal would be bad for ratepayers and our environment. You can submit your own comment at scc.virginia.gov. youtu.be/vqe5PudpfNA

This is absolutely vulgar. Being born in America or naturalized makes you an American, and no American is “more” than any other. This attitude is incompatible with our democracy and an affront to our Constitution. MAGA is an anti-American hate cult.

Rally speaker: "Mike Rogers is an American. Abdul has a birth certificate. The birth certificate says he's a citizen of America. You know what? a birth certificate doesn't make you an American."

Had an amazing time at the Del Ray Halloween Parade. It was great serving as a judge of the stroller competition with @ryanreyna.bsky.social. Thanks to everyone who entered — all your strollers were great!

I can accept ghosts and curses and monsters, but can someone please explain to me how the town of Widows Bay appears to have no council? It’s some sort of weird strong mayor/no council system? Also, it seems clear they need a more formalized economic development process. 

Donald Trump’s policies have been a disaster for American families. Knowing how unpopular he is, he’s resorting to voter intimidation and attempts to influence our elections to hold on to power.

Too many things to count. The quality and variety of food, wine, beer, entertainment, technology. Massive declines in poverty worldwide. The end of the Cold War. Electric cars and bikes.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Thank you, @alexandriatimes.bsky.social, for publishing my op-ed today on why it's important to vote "Yes" on Question 2, the Marriage Equality Amendment. Virginia must be a place that values and protects all the families who call our commonwealth home. alextimes.com/opinion/comm...

Thank you to the Alexandria Branch of the N.A.A.C.P. for inviting me to speak to some of your members about the three Constitutional amendments on the ballot this year. It was a great conversation. Let's get out and vote YES, YES, YES!
