This Friday, the Virginia State Corporation Commission will hold a public hearing in Fairfax on the proposed Dominion-NextEra merger. This deal will decide Virginia's energy future - and that means YOUR power bills. I hope to see you there!

October is POTS Awareness Month here in Virginia. Let’s use this month to raise awareness, encourage understanding, and make sure Virginians living with POTS know their voices matter. #VAPOTSAwareness

A quarter-century since 9/11, our nation’s resolve endures. Today we honor the victims, salute the first responders, and recommit to standing together against hatred and fear. Thank you Dyer-Gunnell American Legion Post 180 for hosting the 9/11 Remembrance Day Ceremony in Vienna this morning.

Thank you @ireneforva.bsky.social and everyone who added your voice to the call for the SCC to hold an in-person hearing in Fairfax! The SCC needs to hear directly from the Virginians who pay the bills before they can decide what "just and reasonable rates" are.

Senator Saddam Azlan Salim @salimforva.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

This is a tragedy that should never have happened. My thoughts are with the family, friends, and everyone in our community impacted by this loss.

Temporary Protected Status is set to expire today for Salvadorans. Fairfax County Public Schools expects to lose 92 employees. If you are impacted and you live in Virginia, know that the Commonwealth is still here for you and your family.

Thank you @abigailspanberger.com for coming to our district to visit Telestar Court. Affordable Housing has been a central topic for Fairfax County, and it is amazing to see office spaces being transformed into homes in Falls Church!

Transparency and accountability are the answer to unchecked power. If we keep calling this out, keep fighting for our rights, we can take the power back, in the courts and at the ballot box.

We’ve seen this before: Trump nominees do anything to get confirmed, then switch back to doing whatever Trump tells them to. The Senate should still vote No on Trump’s criminal defense lawyer as our next Attorney General.

Another community is demanding answers because of ICE. The death of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo is heartbreaking, and his family deserves justice. This pattern is unacceptable. Lorenzo Araujo's killer must be held accountable for the life he took and the family he destroyed.

After the San Diego mosque shooting, threats & hate toward mosques must be taken seriously. Calls for a “pig roast and BBQ” at a mosque aren’t harmless, they’re Islamophobic & dangerous. As a senator I have visited houses of worship of every faith. People should be free to worship without fear.
