“Procrastination is the assassination of your destination." Great words today at Liberty's Convocation from James Dumoulin. It's always wonderful to worship with so many young people and devoted followers of Christ. Don't procrastinate– early voting is open NOW!

The job of a representative is to make life better for the people, not worse. McGuire allows partisan ideology to stand in the way of delivering sensible change for his constituents, and farmers are FED UP.

Thinking back on what I heard from all 24 counties and cities during my #24HoursofTom marathon: Voters across the district were united on the need to get costs down, McGuire out, and common sense back behind the steering wheel. See more of my adventures chronicled on my Facebook and Instagram!

Great meet-and-greet at Molasses Grill in Halifax. I heard directly from folks about what rising diesel prices and higher costs are doing to families, farmers, and small businesses across Southside.

Thank you to Pastor Calvin Lipscomb and the County Line Missionary Baptist Church family for welcoming Secretary Traci DeShazor and me this morning in Vernon Hill. We are close to victory, but we have to put in the work and exercise our God-given freedom to vote.

Gas prices have skyrocketed for no good reason, and the best way to tell Washington to cut it out is to vote and vote EARLY!

"Tom has always been very clear who he fights for. He fights for families like mine, and he fights for families like yours." Powerful words from Gov. Wes Moore on the importance of this election. Remember to get out and early vote!

Huge thank you to Mark and Cynthia Lorenzoni for hosting a hike for Perriello through biscuit run. The downpour matched the outpouring of support from so many awesome people.

Great evening in Danville discussing the issues that matter most. We're feeling the momentum, and you can get involved too by voting early!

This district deserves a representative that will stand up for issues that affect them, no matter the party letter after their name.

What's happening in Lynchburg right now is truly generational. I am ecstatic to receive the endorsement from Lynchburg Voters League, a pillar of protecting minority voting rights in the city, alongside @MarkWarnerVA and Lynchburg Better Together

Over 200 frontline healthcare heroes have been trying to tell Washington that the current system is broken. It's about time someone listen to them.

No matter what McGuire says, he has gutted rural healthcare with no real remedy. When the Big Ugly Bill's Medicaid cuts fully hit, thousands of hardworking Virginians will lose healthcare or be unable to afford it. The so-called "Rural Health Transformation Fund" is a band-aid on a bullet wound.

The Big Ugly Bill has become a threat of life or death for our rural communities, especially women and the working class. We cannot allow the healthcare system to fall victim to the McGuire agenda.

An absolute pleasure to join the Buckingham NAACP last night to hear the issues that matter most to them this election. Don’t forget- be a September voter and get out to the polls TODAY for early voting!

Our healthcare heroes are the canaries in the coal mine. They are alerting us of a impending collapse– and we need to listen.

AI could become the most powerful tool humans have ever created, and voters are united in wanting leaders with the common sense to set guardrails and the courage to face down intimidation by Big Tech money.

John McGuire: Iran war not to blame for skyrocketing fuel prices
John McGuire is refusing to break with Donald Trump as fuel prices soar amid the president's war with Iran. Trump isn't to blame for the prices, he says; Biden is.

AI presents existential risks to alignment and a catastrophic risk of unemployment at a pace never seen before. I refuse money from lobbyists or corporate PACs. Along with these leaders, I’m ready to go to Congress to establish regulations, fail-safes and accountability for AI.

$38 billion wasted. Higher interest rates, gas prices, and grocery bills for American families. And still John McGuire has voted to continue Trump’s failed war in Iran. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

VA-05 is home to the brightest minds in science, biotech, and innovation. We need to keep it that way. At today’s Lunch & Learn, we spoke about what Washington must do to defend federal research funds from politics, lower healthcare costs, and put common-sense guardrails on AI.

Today, we remember those we lost and those who answered the call to serve. And we recommit ourselves to protecting the freedoms, the democracy, and the American experiment that they knew was worth defending. We will never forget. Full statement below:

The Danville PATHS team offer mothers and kids an oasis of quality care in the middle of a maternal health desert. I’m running for Congress to reverse McGuire’s gutting of rural healthcare, because your ZIP code should not determine whether you receive the prenatal and postnatal care you deserve.
