I started the morning with @teamfreedomva.bsky.social and my Virginia House Dem colleagues to talk about our affordability agenda, from housing to energy to prescription drug costs and child care! These are meaningful bills that will help working people and Virginia families!

September 8th is Star Trek Day, and so it's only logical that we celebrate by boldly going where only 11 states have gone before and establishing a Prescription Drug Affordability Board in Virginia. We can't wait for the future; the time for prescription drug affordability in Virginia is now.

Love is in the air... and not just for Taylor and Travis! Virginia workers and businesses alike are feeling "So High School" about Paid Family & Medical Leave.

This Labor Day, our Organizing Director Eddie Seay joined others and spoke at a Workers over Billionaires event at Town Point in Norfolk. In Virginia, workers making over $17,000 a year pay the same tax rate as millionaires and billionaires. It's time for a fair tax system in Virginia!

My baby was in NICU for 6 weeks. Our hospital was 20 miles away. My husband had 2 weeks of paternity leave. I had to find care for my toddler, go to & from hospital. This can't be normal. US is the ONLY one without PFML! @vasenatedems.bsky.social @vademocrats.bsky.social @teamfreedomva.bsky.social
