DEMS WILL INVEST IN #VA01 FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DECADES! VA01 Dems, our hard work is finally paying off! We owe a lot to the inspiring campaigns that our new District 71 Delegate-elect @jess4va.com ran! (And thanks to past VA01 challengers like Leslie Mehta, Herb Jones and Qasim Rashid)

Democrat Jessica Anderson defeated Republican incumbent Amanda Batten in their rematch race for House District 71. The 71st district includes Williamsburg and parts of James City and New Kent counties. It became one of Hampton Roads’ most competitive after redistricting a few years ago.

Congratulations, Jess! You all crushed it

I know Dems still have a lot more work to do, but knowing @jess4va.com and @downeyforva.com are headed to Richmond to represent the Williamsburg area, just makes me so happy. #VirginiaBlueWave #WilliamsburgVA is BLUE! Hope is alive & well.

Our Executive Director Yasmin Radjy spent the weekend in VA with volunteers knocking doors for @abigailspanberger.com, @senatorhashmi.bsky.social, @jonesjay.bsky.social, @jess4va.com, & @vademocrats.bsky.social. With just 1 day left, every action counts. Call voters here: swingleft.org/va

Beautiful Fall day to knock on some doors! #Canvassing for @jess4va.com & @abigailspanberger.com #WilliamsburgVA #Vote #Virginia #VoteBlueVirginia #VoteDems #Democracy requires participation!

The U.S. is experiencing its highest wave of layoffs since 2020, with close to a million workers losing their jobs this year.

We live in an episode of Veep

SNAP benefits are about to lapse for 42 million people, because nothing says “save the children” like starving them.

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

Jessica Anderson: people not participating in Medicaid will also see impacts to their health care premiums. Man next to me mutters, “she doesn’t know what she’s talking about.” He’s gonna wake up to a surprise on November 1.

Election Day is just three weeks away, and we are so excited to get @jess4va.com elected to the House of Delegates.

This past week, I joined Delegate Michael Feggans for a canvass launch in Virginia Beach, joined @markwarnerva.bsky.social and volunteers to support @friendsofvirgil.bsky.social, hosted a fundraiser with @jameswalkinshaw.bsky.social, and knocked doors with @jess4va.com in Williamsburg.

This is a crucial election for basic rights to medical care. Extremists like Amanda Batten want to ban birth control. @jess4va.com and @downeyforva.com will protect the lives of women in Virginia.

Great article. I was able to donate last month. Wish I could this month but, unfortunately, not able to….. Glad you decided to go for this rematch. VA needs people like you in government.

Great article about this race. statenavigate.org/is-batten-be...

The only attention I’m seeking is for the 71st district to be led by someone who not only wants to represent the community, but is a part of it!

This is what unity looks like.

@jess4va.com Wow! The 71st is all out for early voting! Hopefully this is a good sign. www.vpap.org/visuals/visu...

VA’s 71st Dist is going to elect Jessica Anderson on Nov 4th for many reasons. She’s one of the hardest working candidates & will put that same energy into governing & representing her 71st District. Help Jess get to Richmond. Volunteer/Donate: @jess4va.com www.facebook.com/share/r/1CPB...

@jess4va.com deserves the win in #VA71. She’s so sweet and charismatic especially on social media. #BoebertBatten on the other hand has no respect for autistics.

@jess4va.com Early voting done!

Wanna hear from Williamsburg area candidates directly? On Oct 8 and 15, @whropublicmedia.bsky.social and Williamsburg Watch are hosting two candidate forums. Oct 8 supervisors/school board, and Oct 15 @downeyforva.com and Chad Green (HD69), and @jess4va.com and Amanda Batten (HD71)! Should be fun. 🙂

@jess4va.com knows strong public schools are the heart of thriving communities. She’ll fight for teachers, invest in students, and block any scheme that diverts our tax dollars to private profiteers. Because every child deserves opportunity. #VoteVA #VA71

As usual, the annual HTDems Picnic is great fun with awesome people! Nice to see @downeyforva.com @jess4va.com @subletteweather.com @shannontaylorva.com and many more folks committed to ensuring Virginia is represented properly in Richmond and DC!

Speaking of excellent mail — check out what our friend @jess4va.com is putting in mailboxes! The momentum is real! A vote for Jess is a vote for stronger schools, better healthcare and lower costs! #newkentcounty #voteblue #newkentva #democrats #virginia #newkentdems #election

Thank you to the Rapp Dems, Eve Brooks and Leslie Cockburn for hosting such a wonderful event on Sunday! Proud to stand alongside incredible leaders like Josh Thomas, Leslie Mehta, @jess4va.com, and Sara Ratcliffe who are all ready to run through the finish line this November! #Momentum

In HD71, @jess4va.com (D) outraised her Republican opponent, Del. Amanda Batten, $385k-$138k in July-August, had more cash-on-hand as well ($371k for Anderson vs. $332k for Batten). Go Anderson! bluevirginia.us/2025/09/virg... h/t @vpapupdates

404 handwritten are postcards going out in the mail today to Virginians in redder districts. Want to take action? There are still plenty of voters to write to!

Just saw Jessica Anderson’s newest ad on tv. Jess is going to Flip the 71st in VA’s House of Delegates!!!! Her first ad focused on Education. This one focuses on Healthcare! Way to go @jess4va.com 🇺🇸💙

💔 My heart breaks for our nation today. There are two national tragedies in my lifetime that I can recall every detail of where I was and what I was feeling, September 11th, 24 years ago, is one of them.

Find your allies — like @maynivar.com — meeting with @neighbors4change.bsky.social to flip the House of Delegates 57th District (western Henrico and adjacent Goochland Counties) this fall!

Donald Trump promised to lower costs — but prices across Virginia are going up. Now, healthcare costs are about to rise, and he has zero interest in fixing it. Virginians deserve a Governor who is laser focused on making healthcare more affordable — and I will be that Governor.

Commercial #2, coming to tv tomorrow!

VA’s 71st Dist Del, Amanda Batten, VOTED AGAINST RAISING VA’s LEGAL AGE TO MARRY TO 18. Let that sink in. A Republican Women & 41 other of VA’s Republican delegates VOTED AGAINST PROTECTING TEENS UNDER 18. Bill to protect young girls passed thanks to Dems & VA Gov signed it. VOTE JESS for 71st. 🇺🇸💙

Please consider donating to @jess4va.com and @staceycarrollva.bsky.social and two other great candidates who are underfunded, but have a great opportunity to flip these seats blue! secure.actblue.com/donate/sspa2...

On 9/8, phonebank to make VA bluer and call voters to help elect @abigailspanberger.com and @jess4va.com. Jessica is running to flip this seat.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this woman! @jess4va.com is going to be the next delegate representing VA HD71 in Richmond! Beautiful day in #WilliamsburgVA to stand in solidarity with workers everywhere!

Massive crowd for the @markwarner.bsky.social @downeyforva.com @jess4va.com HTDems event today. As the Senator said, Trump gets his first report card, from VA this November. Based on the energetic reaction we saw at today’s protest, voters are fired up to tell him EXACTLY how he’s doing!

1st official commercial for the campaign 💜
