The shootings in Minnesota of two state lawmakers and their spouses are heartbreaking and horrifying — Political violence is unacceptable. Full stop. I share my deepest condolences with the Hortman family and wish Senator and Mrs. Hoffman full recoveries.

Today is Clean the Bay Day! We volunteered at Virginia’s Mason Neck State Park to help pick up trash — We were lucky to see some pretty cool wildlife, reminding us of the many reasons why it’s important to preserve the Chesapeake Bay! @chesapeakebayfdn.bsky.social

I am wearing orange today to express my strong commitment to ending the gun violence public health crisis. Gun violence is the leading cause of death for our kids and teens. This is NOT acceptable. We can and must do better to make sure our kids and communities are safe. #wearorange

Honored to present today a commendation from the VA House of Delegates to Rabbi Widzer on the 25th anniversary of his ordination. Rabbi Widzer is admired for his inclusiveness, warmth, gentle humor, empathy & ability to lead a congregation where people of every age find joy, meaning & connection.

Ramadan Mubarak! Wishing you a peaceful and meaningful Ramadan.

Mass firing of thousands of federal workers by the Musk/Trump Administration is wrong & deeply damaging to families & communities in Virginia. I am very concerned by Gov Youngkin’s support for the cuts & his cavalier dismissal of how this serious situation is affecting Virginians. See my statement.

I’m proud 10 of my bills are headed to the Governor - these legislation will create a family first economy, strengthen public schools, and build stronger communities!

Chúc mừng năm mới! Happy Lunar New Year! I’m thrilled to be able to celebrate with this crew - Wishing you a joyful, healthy, and prosperous Year of the Snake!

We paid our respects to Pres Carter. His commitment to human rights changed my life- After the Vietnam War, he stood up to opposition & welcomed boat refugees like my family. His courage led to The Refugee Act, helping to resettle 3M refugees. May his memory be a blessing & his legacy of hope endure

Due to water outages in Richmond, the House will gavel in tomorrow at 12 PM to start the 2025 session, then recess until Jan. 13. We’re working with officials to help restore service ASAP. Read my full statement below:
