Virginia workers know nobody is working harder for them. As lieutenant governor, I will continue my fight to increase wages, protect affordable health care, and create opportunities for all families to thrive. Hear more in my first statewide ad of the general election:

Republicans to young people: Go pound sand. This is why we need to elect @abigailspanberger.com and expand our majority in the House of Delegates. Because we need someone looking out for everyone’s quality of life. Including young people.

I can’t wait to have a Governor who wants to build homes, lower energy bills, and fight like hell to ensure health care is affordable. We can create jobs, take pressure off working families and ensure ALL Virginians can access the American Dream 🇺🇸

My heart breaks for @candimundonking.bsky.social and her family. You won’t meet better people. My family is sending her & them all of our love.

E Pluribus unum. Our motto embraces both diversity and unity. Politicians trying to divide us don’t understand America’s roots, its traditions, or its constitutional culture. Our unity is our strength. And our diversity is our strength.

May’s election is vital. If she wins we can ensure that voters have a chance to codify access to abortion in Virginia’s constitution. Women should have the right to choose, to control their own bodies.

I loved starting my day yesterday at the Indian American Virginia Association 5k in Twin Hickory. A beautiful morning to get out and run with the community!

I ended my day yesterday at the ICNA Relief Gala with @dannyavula.bsky.social ICNA does great working getting food, medical care and other necessities to those in need in the RVA region!

Next, I was so glad I could manage to stop by the Armenian Food Festival on Patterson. It's always a good time and great food!

My second stop yesterday was a great canvass launch today for @maynivar.com with @sisterdistrictdc.bsky.social and @vayd.bsky.social. People are fired up and ready to go! Let’s get May elected!

I had a super busy Saturday yesterday! It started with the Glen Allen Day Parade & Festival. It is one of my favorite events in Henrico and we had perfect weather for it. Thanks to the @henricodems.bsky.social for organizing us. What a fantastic way to start the day!

A great canvass launch for @maynivar.com this evening with @gabbygiffords.bsky.social and the @giffords.org crew and @senatorhashmi.bsky.social! Gabby’s tenacity is truly an inspiration. We need to continue to make progress on gun violence prevention in Virginia!

It was an honor to have @gabbygiffords.bsky.social in Virginia today for a canvass kick off with @scvanvalkenburg.bsky.social and @maynivar.com. Her fight to end gun violence continues to inspire us every day.

Great turnout at tonight’s canvass launch in Henrico County with @gabbygiffords.bsky.social, @senatorhashmi.bsky.social, @scvanvalkenburg.bsky.social, and @maynivar.com! With Virginians already casting their ballots, now is the time to knock doors in your community.

Republicans are shutting down the government to radically increase your bills.

The rent is too damn high. And only one candidate is talking about it! @abigailspanberger.com has a plan to lower costs and to prioritize Virginia and Virginians. And people are responding!

The cost of living is too high! Republicans are promising to make it higher. Of course people don’t like it!

We need more of this. Many of these vape shops are selling illegal products to our kids. And they continue to proliferate. As a state we need to do more to prevent this behavior. And to close these stores down.

So is the new norm supposed to be that the party in power only helps states controlled by that political party? Because that’s a depressing future if so. We are all Americans. We rise and fall together. It would be great to see our federal government acknowledge that.

If Republicans don’t want to ensure people can afford health care, they can just pass a budget with Republican votes. They have Congressional majorities.

Families in Virginia are feeling the pressure of rising energy bills. Today, I am joining 105+ legislators in urging PJM to fast-track renewables — the most affordable, reliable energy sources available. Learn more from the National Caucus of Environmental Legislators:

Western Henrico on fire last night for our next Governor @abigailspanberger.com! Let’s go!

I had a great time Saturday night at the Gujarati Samaj RVA annual Garba! Thank you to Henrico’s Gujarati community for the hospitality. As always, the Garba was a fun night of food, dancing, and friends!

🏳️‍🌈The rain wasn't going to stop us from having fun at RVA Pridefest this past weekend! Great seeing our next Congresswoman @shannontaylorva.com, @henricodems.bsky.social & Metro Richmond Area Young Dems! After we win the election in Nov, we'll take that awful marriage ban out of our Constitution!🏳️‍🌈

I know @katrinacallsen.com and I will be back again this year banging on the drum of Virginia building out our cheapest, easiest to install energy source! If we care about energy bills, energy supply and moving to a clean energy future we gotta get it done!

While I’m not sure if the place they landed is correct (withholding judgement for now!), the spirit is. We need bipartisanship to build students back up. The lower scores we see across the US are partly societal (ex phones) and partly instructional. 1/

Great essay from Kelsey Piper. We need good curriculum, teachers trained on that curriculum and accountability from a state level (for reading and other subjects). Virginia is on its way but we have more work to do. We cannot leave kids behind.

Great panel yesterday on housing. @vademocrats.bsky.social are talking about solutions to the housing affordability crisis! While Republicans try to sling mud this campaign season, Democrats are focused on helping working people and lowering the cost of living!

Violence - or the threat of violence - has no place in a democracy. None. Zero. We figure out our disagreements through compromise or through election. I’m sorry Kim and her family had to go through this.

You love to see it! Henrico is a great place to live! Let’s go!

Answer: Republicans.

Love to see the “we need to build houses because right now they are too damn expensive” caucus get bigger. Along with Del. Simonds, I’ll be submitting legislation on mandatory parking minimums. As she notes, it just prevents more homes from being built.

L’shana tova to all my friends celebrating Rosh Hashanah! May you have a good and sweet New Year!

⚡️Youngkin is right; PJM needs reform. ⚡️It’s silly to suggest we are going to leave PJM when we have an energy deficit made up by other PJM states (physician heal thy self). ⚡️it would be a smaller problem if he hadn’t vetoed solar bills that ⬆️ our supply.

In many places across the Commonwealth, it costs more to send your child to daycare than to a 4-year college. We need to change that. As Governor, I’ll work to lower child care costs — so that Virginia parents can save money and set their kids up for success.

he cost of health care, energy bills, housing, consumer goods, etc. all going ⬆️ Meanwhile the Trump Admin and their cronies continue to corruptly enrich themselves. They are for them. Not you.

I think we should be trying to move the needle the other way; bringing down the price of premiums, prescription drugs, etc. In the last eight years @vademocrats.bsky.social have worked hard to do so.

Americans like the Constitution and our freedoms. History is going to look unfavorably on these cowards.

9 year old kids out there slinging common sense takes about increasing home supply … 84% of Virginians agree with the kid.

Would love to see Virginia join this coalition. Public health is vital to the well being of our children, our elders and of a functioning society.

“In the survey, more than eight in 10 said the General Assembly needs to act.” People want us to build homes.

Americans like the Constitution and our freedoms. History is going to look unfavorably on these cowards.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Abraham Lincoln’s political ethos feels more important than ever: “I have never had a feeling politically that did not spring from the sentiments embodied in the Declaration of Independence.” What he said.

At a time when our politics feel so divided, Virginians want — and deserve — a Governor who can work with anyone to deliver results. I’m proud to have the support of Rep. Barbara Comstock, Rep. Denver Riggleman, and Republicans across the Commonwealth who are focused on putting Virginia first.
