On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we reflect on a legacy grounded in service, justice, and the belief that our democracy works best when it works for everyone. May we continue striving toward that dream. #martinlutherkingjrday

Navy and Marine Corps veterans all together at the @abigailspanberger.com Inauguration Gala!

Today, Virginia made history! Congratulations to @abigailspanberger.com on being sworn in as the 75th Governor and the Commonwealth’s 1st female Governor! This is a proud day for the Commonwealth and it’s an honor to be present as history is being made.

Back in Richmond to represent the people of Loudoun County and the 2nd swearing in of Speaker @donscott757.bsky.social. So grateful to the people of Loudoun County who have given me the opportunity to be a part of this historic institution.

Started the morning at the House Caucus press conference where we highlighted our focus on affordability for the upcoming session and then welcomed Governor-elect @abigailspanberger.com to the Caucus.

Heartbroken for the Stone Bridge High School community after this morning’s tragedy. My heart is with the student’s family, friends, and everyone who is grieving this unimaginable loss.

Thanks to Rural GroundGame & Mayor Reed for hosting me, @delciaprice85.bsky.social, & @paytonfordelegate.bsky.social a pre-Session town hall in Harrisonburg! Hearing from people all across the Commonwealth is key to making informed policy decisions in the upcoming session. Thanks for your inputs!

Hearing directly from Loudoun residents is essential as we prepare for the General Assembly session. From affordability & transportation to schools & public safety, your input helps guide the legislation our delegation advances. Thank you to everyone who joined the Pre-Session Public Hearing.

Congratulations to all the new and returning members of the @loudoundemocrats.org leadership team. Strong partnerships across our community help deliver real results and I am looking forward to the work ahead to continue improving the lives of people in our community.

As the General Assembly prepares to convene, Loudoun’s delegation is focused on affordability and transparency, with new housing proposals and data center reforms that put communities first. Read more:

Preparing for session doesn’t start in Richmond, it starts by listening at home. In this week’s Substack, I share how those conversations are guiding my work on affordable housing, electric bills, and reopening White’s Ferry. Read more: substack.com/home/post/p-...

Join the Loudoun Delegation for our Pre-Session Public Hearing on Tues Jan 6 from 6:30-8:30 PM at Leesburg Town Hall. This is your opportunity to share priorities & concerns before the 2026 legislative session. Registration is required & closes Jan 5 at 5 PM: forms.gle/4WR3opoRLkn6...

Happy New Year! Looking forward to continuing the work that supports our community and strengthens opportunities in 2026. Wishing you and your loved ones a safe and fulfilling year.

Every extra mile & every extra minute on Rte 15 affects families, workers, & small businesses & it’s time for a reset. I’m introducing legislation to bring everyone to the table so we can define a way forward to reopen Whites Ferry & lay the foundation for regional water transit. Read more here:

Happy Kwanzaa to everyone celebrating. May the seven principles bring light, purpose, and unity throughout the season! ✨

When electricity rates go up because of Trump’s decision to delay this project, every Republican who does not speak out - Youngkin, Miyares, and House Leadership - need to take ownership for those rate increases.

Every generation faces a disruptive shift in how knowledge is created, stored, and accessed, from libraries to the Internet to AI. Last week’s Substack looks at what changes and why critical thinking is more important than ever.

Thanks and congratulations to all of our amazing volunteers!! You make it possible for everything we do as elected officials - Thanks!

When housing costs push teachers, first responders, and young adults out of the communities they serve, inaction isn’t acceptable. My latest op-ed in @cardinalnews.org breaks down why the General Assembly has no choice but to act: 🔗⬇️

Two meaningful town halls with the ADAMS - Ashburn community as part of our pre-session outreach. Appreciated the honest dialogue on housing affordability, utility bills, healthcare premiums, Greenway tolls, the car tax, and the challenges families are facing right now.

Important conversations last week as the Loudoun Delegation met with the NAACP Loudoun Branch to discuss priorities for the 2026 General Assembly. 🔗⬇️

Read how localities can use data center tax revenue to reduce consumer utility bills, proactively mitigate noise, and contribute toward undergrounding transmission lines in my guest column published by the @richmond.com. 🔗⬇️

Wishing everyone celebrating a joyful and meaningful Hanukkah. Chag Sameach! May the Festival of Lights bring peace, reflection, and hope. #HappyHanukkah

This week’s Substack examines Virginia’s slowing economy as Governor Youngkin introduces his final budget. With stalled growth, higher unemployment, and growing fiscal pressures, I outline the challenges Governor-elect Spanberger will face on day one. Read more ⬇️

Proud to endorse our senior Senator @markwarnerva.bsky.social as he kicks off his re-election campaign! Mark has been instrumental in making Virginia more affordable, providing for safe communities, and consistently standing up for our Veterans.

This week’s Substack looks at the scale of Virginia’s economy, how we manage it as part-time legislators, and what could be possible if the Commonwealth received the same $40B support package the Trump Administration extended to Argentina. ⬇️

Giving Tuesday is a day to celebrate generosity in all forms, whether it’s helping a neighbor, volunteering your time, or supporting a cause you care about. Learn more at GivingTuesday.org, and thank you to everyone strengthening our communities today. #GivingTuesday

Small businesses keep Loudoun’s economy strong. Serving as the Chair of the Virginia Small Business Commission has shown me how vital they are, if you’re able, shop small today. #SmallBusinessSaturday #ShopLocal

Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful Thanksgiving. I’m grateful for the trust our community places in me and for the opportunity to continue serving Loudoun. I hope the day brings you good food, meaningful conversations, and time with the people who matter most. #happythanksgiving

What an amazing, amazing evening with friends and community members to celebrate the elevation of Pastor Michelle to Bishop!  It was an honor to be asked to speak at your Consecration Ball — so proud of what you’ve accomplished and look forward to what we can achieve together.

During these difficult times, it’s always so refreshing to join organizations, such as NEST4US, who work year-round to support community members most in need. This weekend we recognized all the volunteers who make these efforts possible - THANKS!!

Friday night the Loudoun Delegation recognized Pastor Michelle Thomas’ consecration and elevation to the role of Bishop. As a pastor, she has made an indelibly mark on the Loudoun Community - can’t wait to see what new levels the Bishop will lead us to achieve.

Started Friday with the ribbon cutting for the I-495 NEXT Express Lanes - this completes 94-miles of Express Lanes in Northern Virginia enhancing mobility & connectivity, and providing funding for multi-modal transportation options.

At the House Appropriations Committee off-site at @georgemasonu.bsky.social - Manassas. Got a chance to visit w/ Governor-elect @abigailspanberger.com as she gets a first-hand briefing on Virginia’s budget.

Started the week with an informative morning coffee with members of the ADAMS Center to discuss the recent elections and the upcoming session. 😊☕️ The community’s input is so valuable as we are now less than 60-days from the 2026 Session.

Congratulations to LGBT+ Democrats of Virginia endorsed candidate @deldavidreid.bsky.social on their victory! In this historic election, voters elected them to carry out the vision of Virginia being a place of economic opportunity, justice, and freedom for all.

Hard to believe yesterday’s Topping Out Ceremony for the $75M state-funded NoVA Science Center began in 2019, with me using sticky notes to ask for $2.3M in planning funds. By 2027, it’ll be VA’s largest investment in Loudoun County — bringing STEM learning to 300K+ students across the region.

Today, we honor the men and women who put service above self. Their courage, commitment, and sacrifice have strengthened our nation and inspired generations to give back in their own communities. To every veteran, thank you for answering the call to serve. 🇺🇸 #VeteransDay #HonoringAllWhoServed

The fight for fair representation doesn’t stop at Virginia’s borders. In my most recent Substack I discuss how Republican gerrymandering in other states threatens voters here at home and what steps Virginia can take to ensure balance, not bias, in our maps.

Thank you to everyone who voted, volunteered, and supported our campaign! I’m honored to be re-elected to represent the 28th District in the Virginia House of Delegates. It’s a privilege to continue serving our community and working for a stronger Virginia.

Stopped by the Russell Branch/Ashbrook precinct and met some Ashburn Elementary students selling baked goods. They asked me to sign my name and were so excited to meet someone “famous” — moments like that make Election Day extra special. 💙🍪

Look who we saw at Dominion Trail Elementary — Marlou Svenson and a Broad Run senior who’s been volunteering on Election Day since she was 12! 💙 At Marblehead, we met a first-time voter, love seeing our democracy in action! 🗳️

Great conversations at Discovery ES - thanks to Joyce and Lisa for taking time to chat with voters! 🗳️ #voteblue #electionday

Steady pace at both Broad Run precincts - ran into some old friends, and met some former federal employees - thanks for your service and commitment to our nation. #voteblue

Over at Mill Run ES, my home precinct, with Kat and Rich. Thanks to all the volunteers who have gotten up early to help staff the polls! #electionday

It’s Election Day 2025!! Started the morning at Hillside ES - steady turn out, but no lines - please don’t forget to vote! 🗳️ #votevote #electionday

Honored to join the NAACP Loudoun County Branch for their annual Souls to the Polls event this morning. I’ve been proud to take part in this tradition for the past eight years, a powerful celebration of faith, community, and civic engagement.🗳️

In 1987, as a new Navy Intel Officer, I took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. And our Constitution does NOT provide for a 3rd term — full stop.

In between being in Richmond on Monday & Wednesday, I stopped by Pack 1483 at Hillside ES to talk about the three branches of government, campaigns, & how a commitment to service inspired me to run for office. Thanks to the Scouts, parents, & Pack leaders for a great discussion!

As a member of the Privileges & Elections Committee, I voted to let Virginians fight back against Republican gerrymandering across the nation. Republican outrage is hollow & hypocritical after 20 years of partisan maps. Democrats have said enough & are ready to defend democracy.
