You don't have to be part of a vulnerable community to fight with them. The one group I should have mentioned but didn’t, is people with disabilities. They know what it’s like to be ignored, overlooked, and discriminated against too. I refuse to be a rep who forgets about anyone. Dignity for all.

Blue Virginia beat me to posting it, but please enjoy a version of Rob Wittman that is actually honest for once.

Does AI belong on the classroom? I say “no.”

Some thoughts on the significance of this holiday.

The stakes of this moment couldn’t be higher. We must become the party that fights for people. That’s fight for dignity for all. That’s the kind of party I want to be, and that’s what I’ll fight for in Congress.

Data centers are unpopular for good reason: they drink all our water, raise our electric bills, and pollute our communities. But don't worry. They also don't create long term jobs. Meanwhile in Virginia: give them a $1.9 billion tax break or we shut down the government.

Once upon a time a couple of decades ago in Virginia, the #DataCenters came. At first, we liked the increased tax revenue, jobs, and the general boost to the state’s economy. Everything seemed great, until… 🧵 neighbors4change.com/henrico-data...

For voters who want an expert in grassroots organizing, environmental justice, and taking on powerful interests like #DataCenter developers, then @votetimva.com is a candidate up their alley.

Great example of the one thing Wittman is actually good at — avoiding accountability

Everyone's talking about affordability. Nobody's saying what it actually means. It's not complicated. You either put more money in people's pockets — or you bring prices down. That's it. Those are the only two options. Here's how I'd actually do both. 👇

Bipartisan collaboration is great. Coordinating and unity within our party is even better. But you have to start with a vision. Mine is dignity for all. No exceptions. I’ll fight like hell to get there — and yes, that includes going against my own party if I have to.

When fiscal policy in the United States values corporate greed more than hard work, the result is more income inequality and a social security system running dry. It’s time to flip the script. I appreciate the King William Dems for inviting me. I’ll see you again soon.

THIS! THIS! THIS! We want Democratic candidates who know their values and stick by them, not ones who go wherever they think the wind is blowing. Stake your claim on the issues, candidates, and voters will follow! #VA-01

I didn’t run for office to play it safe or hide my beliefs. We don’t have to appear moderate to flip this seat. We have to be unafraid to listen, evens if to those we disagree with, and find common ground. That’s what representation looks like, and it’s something Wittman will never understand.

I met Lewis a handful of times. He’s a good man who unabashedly believed that a better future for the 1st is possible. He’s also kind. These are qualities of a man who embraces the true nature of public service. I know he won’t stop fighting. And we’re better off because of it.

If you are angry about the Va Supreme Court decision, please donate to Tim’s campaign. ( button is at the bottom of the post) or volunteer. We can defeat Wittman if we all get to work.

Some thoughts after the devastating decision by Virginia’s Supreme Court.

My statement on VASC’s decision to overturn the will of voters. Our democracy is fragile right now. But it’s still worth fighting for.

My statement on Trump doing what he always does — bully people until he get’s his way. It’s time for Virginia’s Supreme Court to show this administration that his petulant tactics won’t work here. Not in Virginia.

This event with @votetimva.com and @elizabeth4virginia.bsky.social is tonight. Music and politics - a classic combination! www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

Part 2 of my conversation with @rvamag.bsky.social we touch on the Epstein files, AIPAC, and campaign finance (my democracy dollars plan). Let me know what you think?

My statement on Virginia’s Redistricting passage. I wouldn’t trade my time campaigning in the (former) 1st for anything.

My tl;dr on the arguement against Virginia’s Redistricting amendment — they don’t hold up. Vote Yes on April 21st, Virginia. The county is counting on us. Full article in comments.

I have a masters in Political Communications. I have a Master’s in political communications. I’ve spent years studying how narratives are built, how messages stick, and how the powerful defend themselves. Here's what I think about arguments against Virginia's Redistricting Amendment:

This is what it looks like when a candidate/politician has principles. Rob Wittman would NEVER…

This was a phenomenal town hall with #VA01 Democratic candidate @votetimva.com at TheWorkFM. Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zL6p...

Live radio Townhall TONIGHT! Reply to this thread with your questions and I’ll answer them.

The Fall of Congressman Rob Wittman by @wittmanwatch.bsky.social is like a who’s who of folks working for better representation in #VA-01! 👀 It recognizes the heroic efforts of 2026 Democratic Congressional candidates past and present. 🧵 www.wittmanwatch.com/p/the-fall-o...

Wild coincidence: Rob Wittman and I were in the same place today. Me visiting the colonial Dems and him visiting the Williamsburg republicans in the room next to us. I tried to get his attention, but he ran away. Textbook example of what it what it feels like to be his constituent.

Yes! Please call in or message me your question! I will get to all of them.

Trump threatened to eliminate an entire civilization. Walking it back doesn’t erase that. It should matter to elected members of his party. But it doesn’t. They campaign on patriotism but refuse to stand up to a leader whose words put lives at risk. Their silence isn’t neutrality — it’s cowardice

I have no patience for bad-faith arguments by Republican Committees right now. VOTE YES by April 21st.

Town halls are important to me because I want to be the most accessible candidate in the country, but this event has been postponed due to the room being needed for early voting (VOTE YES BY APRIL 21st). We are working on different arrangements, and we will keep you updated.

You won't get typical talking points from me. Leaders should know issues enough so so we can answer any question. You might not always agree, but I’m not running for office so I could hide my beliefs. What you see is what you get. That's the standard we should come to expect from our politicians.

Every time Trump pushes the line, his party backs him up. No accountability. No guardrails. No spine. That’s how you end up with unchecked power. Not here. Vote YES on the redistricting referendum by April 21.

Tax Reform is so overdue. I’m a Democrat who wants to lower yours by taxing corporate greed and and hoarded billionaire wealth more. Let me know what you think.

Quick posts and short form videos aren't enough to earn your trust. I get it. That's why articles like this from @rvamag.bsky.social are so valuable. They provide my worldview, what drives me, why my platform is this way, and how my faith in people remains unshaken. Let me know what you think?

Word reaches us that #VA01 Dem candidate @votetimva.com is holding a town hall on April 9th in Chesterfield - a great chance to hear from Tim what he will do for our district should he be elected. It's a damn sight more than we've ever gotten from Wittman!

My first Substack post is about the upcoming No Kings Day. What it means to me, why I think it transcends party affiliation, and how I believe it captures the essence of patriotism.

Thank you @heathermassey.com & company for this amazing zine! There are 2 reasons gestures like this mean so much. 1. These take a lot of time & effort to create — it’s humbling to know ppl are willing to do so 2. They demonstrate that we’re not alone in trying to fight for a brighter future.

My thoughts on Virginia’s redistricting amendment. it’s not about the maps, it’s about stopping unchecked power. Vote yes by April 21st.

I know people are concerned about Trump and impending election interference — I share them. Democracy and dignity are on the line in this election, and so is ability to hold elections in the first place. We need to be ready. Not just as a party, but as a people.

There’s nothing in this speech that ppl in the 1st district don’t already know. Wittman, Trump, and MAGA politicians aren’t interested in solutions for everyday people. They’re only interested in engaging in the politics of division and scapegoating. All the while ignoring us. That ends in 2026.

I call myself a Reformist Democrat. That means no corporate cash, no party-over-people politics, and no pretending the system works for people when it doesn’t. We all pay into this system. We all contribute. We all deserve real representation. Reform is how we get something better.

The damage Data Centers inflict on our neighborhoods and our electric bills is a reflection of how Government allows Big Tech and Big Industry to mistreat everyday people. And we’re told we’re not rich enough to stop them — that’s a lie. That was my message at Data Center Lobby Day this week.

Statement on the new maps, which I support. Let’s be clear, there’s no guarantee the amendment will pass, the GOP will spends millions fighting our effort to balance the scales. I’m running to restore representation to the ppl of the 1st. If that hurts my chances at winning a primary so be it.

A VCU student asked me what happens when party pressure and lobbyists show up. It’s a fair question. Here’s my answer: Ideals are compromised only if you’re afraid to use power when you have it. I’m not.
