Testified this evening at the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality hearing on the proposed gas plant in Bellwood, a predominantly Black and Brown community in Chesterfield County. >> NoGasPlant.org

Great to welcome friends from Virginia Young Democrats to Chesterfield to knock doors for Leslie Mehta this past weekend! Leslie will bring quality representation to the 73rd District, leaning into her personal background and her professional experience practicing law.

In REC service territory, one data center could require the same amount of power as their entire current customer base. Operators should invest in renewable energy and pay their fair share for the strain it puts on our communities and environment. www.fredericksburgfreepress.com/2025/09/26/r...

So excited to be on the ballot for the Braddock District Supervisor Firehouse Primary! 🗳️ I’m running to keep Fairfax affordable, strengthen our infrastructure, and ensure every generation can thrive here. I’d be honored to earn your support. 💙 🔗 sabrinaforsupervisor.com

We deserve to live happy and prosperous lives. We deserve better than our entire paycheck being gobbled up by rent leaving little left for anything else. www.wvtf.org/news/2025-09...

Spent my Sunday supporting the @vademocrats.bsky.social statewide ticket, first with a VA Democratic Latinos sponsored event for Jay Jones in Hanover and later with a Virginia Legislative Black Caucus event in Prince William.

Love the artistic undertone of how restrictive zoning ordinances can divide communities instead of building communities.

Pretty neat video from The B1M discussing the work being done at Commonwealth Fusion Systems to make Chesterfield County the forefront leader in commercial fusion energy. youtu.be/tR1n5-4d1q4?...

Chesterfield County is standing up to Dominion Energy! I was proud to join hundreds of neighbors who, along with organizers from Friends of Chesterfield County, shared opposition to Dominion's proposed gas-fired peaker plant. #NoGasPlant

Rather concerning that Chesterfield Fire has had to respond to two separate incidents at the very same data center in the past 30 days. And just to clarify, this is the FOURTH incident at that facility in the last year. www.wric.com/news/local-n...

It was a pleasure to join the Chesterfield Democrats annual Champions dinner yesterday where the committee honored Senator Warner and raised funds to support our Chesterfield candidates!

Don't miss Delegate Gardner's town hall on healthcare and benefits! Mon., Sept. 15 6-7:30pm Meadowdale Library

While Dominion Energy’s rate case takes a positive step toward data center accountability, I’m concerned that the case also calls for raising residential rates at a time when working families are already strapped for cash. virginiamercury.com/2025/09/03/d...

There’s few occasions where you can get me out of the house before 7am, and the Buena Vista parade is one of them! It was great to support our statewide ticket and our fantastic House candidates up and down the I-81 corridor.

It was a treat to be in Harrisonburg—the Friendly City—for the local Democratic committees’ annual Labor Day dinner. Even got to run into DPVA Chair Sen. Lamont Bagby and former Del. Jay Jones at Buc-ee’s afterward!

Hit the pavement today in Petersburg and Chester with fellow Virginia Young Democrats as we fight to grow our Democratic majority in the House of Delegates and elect our statewide ticket. @vayd.bsky.social @lashrecseaird.bsky.social @kimadamsforva.bsky.social

VA marks a historic milestone with the election of Justice Cleo Powell as SCV Chief Justice. The first Black woman to hold this position and a double UVA Hoo, she has dedicated her career to serving Chesterfield and the Commonwealth with excellence. cvillerightnow.com/news/208802-...

I'm deeply concerned for Kilmar Abrego Garcia's health and safety at the privately-owned Farmville detention center. A 2024 report showed the facility violated ICE's own standards for detention. It's time for DHS to end this game and respect the judges who have ruled. www.wric.com/news/taking-...

🧵 In celebration of Labor Day weekend, Jonas Eppert, candidate for HD-74, has brought together special guests for an energizing evening that proves politics does not have to be business as usual.

From a Green Book haven during Jim Crow to 144 new affordable homes today, the old Colbrook Motel site redevelopment reminds us that housing is more than shelter—it’s opportunity. We can honor history while building a more affordable future for Chesterfield where everyone can call our county home.

The Latino Market in Chesterfield was packed with tons of vendors and customers today! And yes, I bought more food than I could possibly eat. I’m extraordinarily grateful that Supervisor Schneider helped lead this initiative in Chesterfield County.

Outstanding op-ed from Michael Paul Williams in today's @richmond.com. Wish it were shareable, but here's the lede. Kudos to RVA's mayor Avula for not abetting Youngkin's reign of terror. @neighbors4change.bsky.social @rva-indivisible.bsky.social @bluevirginia.bsky.social @mcclellan.house.gov

This is an absolutely tragic loss of life and I pray for the loved ones she’s left behind. It’s no secret that Hull Street is hardly walkable and certainly not navigable for individuals with accessibility concerns. When we build car first, we risk lives. www.wric.com/news/local-n...

Bittersweet news: today is my last day with @katrinacallsen.com office. 💙 Over the last 19 months, I’ve worked on nearly 30 pieces of legislation, attended dozens of community events, and helped solve issues for constituents across Charlottesville & Albemarle County. 🧵

Always fun to run into School Board Member Dominique Chatters & Supervisor Jessica Schneider at the monthly Chesterfield County Democratic Committee meeting!

Super excited to see this 267-unit project take its next step along Route 29 in Charlottesville. One step closer to bringing the fabric of community and walkability to the Route 29 corridor! communityengagement.substack.com/p/267-unit-a...

Highlights from a successful (and my first!) @youngdems.bsky.social national convention! It was a true honor to join hundreds upon hundreds of fired-up young Democrats in Philadelphia for #YDAPhilly — ready to lead not just in the future, but right now.

Seeing this break out in real time as I was leaving Wawa was like a freaking movie. Glad no one, including myself, was harmed.

💔 As a mother of a 10 and 11 y/o I can NOT imagine the terror. My heart goes out to all those affected. The families, the community, and the responders. I showed up with food and listened. I called. I fretted. My vow is to fight. Fight in Richmond so that guns stay out of the hands of children.

“Learn how over $1 million per year is now funneled into license‑plate reader (LPR) surveillance tech from companies like Flock, widely deployed across rural and urban areas.”

charlottesville spent most of a decade revising its zoning code. it held endless community meetings and gave opponents ample opportunity to make their case. they lost. but a handful of rich homeowners sued and have gotten the new code overturned on a technicality.

Let’s call it what it is — UVA President Jim Ryan’s forced resignation is an attack on all of our public higher education institutions.

Short notice but wanted to share –– Sierra Club is doing a presentation on how to organize against Dominion Energy's fleet of proposed natural gas facilities here in Charlottesville tonight! www.facebook.com/events/13507...

I'm so proud of the hard work all three candidates for Council put in and I'm thrilled that we will soon have a new face on City Council –– congratulations, @jenfleisher.bsky.social!

Great letter from out-going Jack Jouett supervisor Diantha McKeel in support of @sallyforsupervisor.bsky.social to take her spot! dailyprogress.com/opinion/colu...

We know what we have to do to save our city from Andrew Cuomo. We're cross endorsing 🤝 @bradlander.bsky.social

Come out tonight to Brazos at Ix for tacos, margs & fun times with Young Dems!

Mayor Wade on Winsome Sears and the GOP budget: “She hasn’t called attention to how this will hurt Virginians. She hasn’t called on Republicans to stop their extreme agenda. She can’t be trusted to lead the commonwealth.” vademocrats.org/news/daily-p...

Protections from police-led digital surveillance shouldn't evaporate when you move from one jurisdiction from the next. In an era where Homeland Security is willing to do anything and everything to achieve its immigration enforcement goals, localities should think twice before using Flock.

State epidemiologist discusses recent Measles case in Charlottesville

Found guilty by a jury but pay to play is the Trump Administration's MO so this is not at all shocking.
