Political violence is never the answer in a democracy. I’m shocked by murder of Charlie Kirk, and my sympathies go out to his loved ones.

Thank you @kaine.senate.gov for your amendments to protect rural hospitals, SNAP, veterans, basic infrastructure like water treatment, and clean energy. This Kill the Poor bill would be devastating and I appreciate you fighting against and raising awareness to some of its most heinous provisions.

For all the years Rep Ben Cline has used fiscal responsibility as reason to stand against programs to help his constituents, it’s still not altogether surprising to see him vote to add trillions to the federal deficit. Anything to steal from the poor and give to the rich.

Shout out and thanks to @paytonfordelegate.bsky.social and David Crance for -so far- being the only 2 candidates to answer the Virginia Good Governance Coalition's questionnaire. The VGGC is advocating for voting rights restoration, ethics enforcement, and more. The Coalition should be on BlueSky!

@guzman4virginia.bsky.social gave a fantastic speech last night here in the valley speaking out for our rights and our families. So excited to see her back in the house next year.

Net metering allows homes and businesses with solar panels to sell unused energy back to the grid. It provides a huge financial incentive to homeowners and businesses to go solar, and these cuts proposed by our state utilities would undermine Virginia's climate goals.

People want a leader who will fight for affordable childcare, care for our seniors, and access to quality healthcare for every family. I grew up here. I know what our community is up against—and I’m going to Richmond to make sure we’re not ignored.

As a former Fulbright scholar, the cuts to this program hurt personally. This program is an inexpensive mechanism for advancing peace and mutual understanding around the world, not just for those who have the honor of participating in the exchanges, but the host communities and institutions.

Medicaid matters to all who count on it. In VA, that includes: • 62% of nursing home residents • 31% of kids • 1 in 3 births • 319,000 people with disabilities I’m committed to fighting against the Republican plan to strip Medicaid to pay for billionaire tax breaks.
