Honored to speak at yesterday's Governor's Advisory Board Summit. As a former member/chair of one of the boards, it was meaningful to reflect on how board service shaped my path to elected office and my work in the General Assembly. Most importantly, I spoke about the power of partnership.

Hearing directly from the community about the proposed Dominion–NextEra merger and rising energy costs is exactly why @ltgovhashmi.bsky.social took the Energy Costs Listening Tour across the Commonwealth. I was proud to join her in Richmond and hear directly from Virginians about their concerns.
