Virginia has incredible Democratic leaders ready to fight for us. This November, let's flip Congress, re-elect our Democratic champions, elect new leaders, and vote YES on all three constitutional amendments. Thanks for joining me, @kathykltran.bsky.social. Let's get it done!

Great to join @kathykltran.bsky.social and our volunteers for a #VoteYES canvass launch! This November, we have the opportunity to protect reproductive freedom, marriage equality, and voting rights. We need to get out there, knock doors, and make sure Virginians know what's at stake.

Virginia Democrats are raising wages, protecting consumers, and making housing more affordable. We need partners like @shannontaylorva.com, @gene4va.bsky.social, and @jameswalkinshaw.bsky.social in Washington who will fight for Virginians - not politicians who put cronyism first.

Virginians deserve to feel safe in their own communities. No one is above the law, and no federal agency is above accountability. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Great to join @markwarnerva.bsky.social, @iamwesmoore.bsky.social, @shannontaylorva.com, @gene4va.bsky.social, and so many close friends at Senator Warner’s pig roast.

#VoteYES on ballot questions 1, 2, and 3 this November: ✅ Protect your freedom to make your own decisions about reproductive healthcare. ✅ Protect every Virginian’s freedom to marry. ✅ Protect the right to vote for every eligible Virginian.

Virginians are paying the price for Trump and MAGA Republicans’ Big, Terrible Bill. We need to fight back against rising health care costs and make sure Virginia families can afford the coverage they need. #VoteBlue this November to bring down costs statewide.

Dan Helmer @helmerva.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Election Day is just over four weeks away, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. I’m proud to be hitting the final stretch with my friend @gene4va.bsky.social. Make a plan to vote, and make sure your friends and family have a plan, too.

More than 300 Virginia doctors and medical professionals are urging Virginians to vote YES on Question 1. We need to trust doctors and patients to make personal medical decisions. This November, vote YES to protect reproductive freedom in Virginia. www.29news.com/2026/09/29/m...

#ICYMI: The FAIR Unit is officially up and running. We championed HB21 to hold negligent firearm dealers and manufacturers accountable, and I’m grateful to AG @jonesjay.bsky.social for putting this law to work.

Families shouldn’t have to choose between putting food on the table and paying the bills. That’s why I fought to pass a bill that extended SNAP benefits to 25,000 Virginia families and their children - and I’ll keep fighting to make sure every family can put food on the table.

Dan Helmer @helmerva.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

#Virginia: Join us every weekend in October in Fairfax as we hit the doors and talk to voters about why it’s important to protect our fundamental freedoms by voting YES on 1, 2, and 3. For more info on my Oct. 10 canvass from 10 AM–12 PM, visit: www.mobilize.us/kathytranfor...

Dan Helmer @helmerva.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

This November, we have the chance to protect fundamental rights in Virginia’s Constitution: ✅ YES on reproductive freedom. ✅ YES on marriage equality. ✅ YES on the right to vote. These rights belong to all of us, and they should never depend on who’s in office.

Dan Helmer @helmerva.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Trump’s affordability crisis is out of hand. More than half of Virginia families with children are struggling to put food on the table, and 87% say rising grocery prices are making it harder to make ends meet. We can do better. #VoteBlue this November. virginiamercury.com/2026/09/22/s...

Gas over $4 a gallon. Diesel prices at record highs. And Virginian families paying the price. Vote Blue this November so we can fight back and bring costs down.

I championed HB21 to hold the firearm industry accountable for reckless practices that contribute to gun violence. Now, AG @jonesjay.bsky.social launched the FAIR Unit to enforce that law. This is how we turn legislation into action and make our communities safer. richmond.com/news/state-r...

Trump’s $5,000 checks are BS. He never keeps his promises, and this one won’t be any different. All it proves is how desperate he is to buy votes for MAGA Republicans - because he knows they can’t win on their own.

Dan Helmer @helmerva.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Great to join Springfield Democrats to talk about preparing for this year’s midterms and the opportunities we have to keep Virginia moving forward toward a better future. Thanks for coming out.

Dan Helmer @helmerva.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

25 years later, we remember those we lost on September 11 and the way Americans came together in common cause. Now, as then, I think about what unites us rather than what divides us and hope we will work together to build a better future for our children and grandchildren.

Government should meet people where they are and make it easier to access the services they need. Thanks to the Virginia DMV for bringing #DMVConnect to our district.

Dan Helmer @helmerva.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

The right to vote belongs to every eligible American. I fought to make voting easier and more accessible in Virginia, and I’ll keep fighting back against Trump’s efforts to give himself more unlawful power to wrongly purge eligible voters.

Proud to have fought hard for working Virginians this year. From raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour to expanding paid sick leave and strengthening protections for workers, we’re working to make sure a hard day’s work comes with dignity and security. www.whsv.com/2026/09/07/s...

Happy #LaborDay! From the five-day workweek to fair wages and safer workplaces, the labor movement has helped build America’s middle class and expand opportunity for working people. I’m proud to stand with unions and will always fight for Virginia's working families.

Dan Helmer @helmerva.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Trump's affordability crisis is making everyday life more expensive for working Virginians. We need to tackle it head-on. That's why I’m proud to have co-patroned Del. @jeionward.bsky.social's bill, signed into law by Gov. @abigailspanberger.com, raising our minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2028.

Trump trying to use the USPS to stop mail-in voting is un-American, unpatriotic, and goes against everything our democracy stands for.

Addressing our affordability crisis is one of the most important things we can do for Virginians. I’m proud to be taking on rising costs and standing up for Virginia’s small business owners and working families.

Anti-choice extremists have made clear they won’t stop trying to take away women’s reproductive rights, even when they lose this November. Vote YES to protect abortion access in Virginia’s Constitution - and be ready to keep up the fight long after Election Day.

Dan Helmer @helmerva.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Electing record numbers of women has meant passing amendments that protect abortion rights, voting rights, marriage rights, and our freedoms. This November, let's make it happen.

SNAP is at risk in Virginia because of Trump and this MAGA Congress. It's more important than ever to use your voice and fight back for our Commonwealth and our country.
