January 6th is a day that will live in infamy. This bill is critical to ensuring that public school students who learn about it have an opportunity to learn the truth.

Proud to have worked with a bipartisan group of public servants to pass HB1377 to continue building leaders of character at VMI while eliminating remnants of the Lost Cause and safeguarding cadets against sexual assault and racism.

It's been too long, but glad to see an Assault Weapons Ban pass the House and head to the Senate -- and to have a former Moms Demand volunteer, @abigailspanberger.com, as governor.

Affordable energy & lower energy bills comes from maximizing our current grid, building as much solar & battery storage as possible, and making homes energy efficient. That’s what my package of legislation w/ @katrinacallsen.com @philforvirginia.bsky.social @helmerva.bsky.social & Del Herring does.

Standing with Virginia and America during today’s ICE Out of Everywhere National Day of Action. Our democracy - everyone in our democracy - is worth protecting

We applaud their continued commitment to keeping Virginians safe, and are grateful for the leadership of @helmerva.bsky.social, @marcussimon.com, and @delciaprice85.bsky.social.

It's been too long. Glad to move the assault weapons ban forward.

People should be able to afford a place to live near where they work. That is why I was proud to pass HB 816.

We need more housing so kids can afford to live near where they grew up. That's why we passed HB 804 today.

Tired of the attacks on government workers and of Republican delegates who think being a government worker means you don’t deserve to be considered a constituent.

We proposed a bill that says you can't lie about January 6th to public school students. The testimony against it shows exactly why that bill is needed.

House Voting Rights sub reports out @helmerva.bsky.social bill to ensure no one can buy votes like Elon Musk did, prohibiting bribing individuals to register to vote (general voter registration drives that cost money to run are not included, as long as it's not a direct bribe).

For the second time this month, I watched ICE shoot an American citizen in cold blood. This invasion must end. There must be justice. We are working daily in the Virginia House to protect Virginia and Virginians from being next.

Today, I introduced a bill to study whether taxpayers should continue to support VMI. Read more about it here: www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Today, Gavin left the entire committee and audience awed as he testified in support of my bill, HB 216, which makes sure amputee kids like him can get the prosthetics they need to walk, run, and play. We were all inspired.

This Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, I am proud to honor the legacy of an incredible leader in American history.

Just watched a fantastic State of the Commonwealth speech delivered by Virginia's first female governor @abigailspanberger.com

For the first time in 75 governors and 250 years, welcoming HER excellency @abigailspanberger.com

So stoked to stand with our new Governor @abigailspanberger.com

Celebrated last night as Co-Chair of the Jay Jones inauguration and now excited to be part of the House Inaugural Committee to escort Governor-elect Spanberger as she’s sworn in at noon!

Karen and I are excited to celebrate this great day for Democracy in Virginia! (P.S. Anyone have a 🎩 - they didn’t have one!)

Great first day chairing the Committee on Counties, Cities, and Towns (and Shires)!

✅Voting rights ✅Reproductive rights ✅Marriage rights ✅Democracy In Virginia’s constitution. Going to vote now so we can send it to the people!

Happy first day of session! Excited to keep fighting for the future our Commonwealth deserves.

Weapons similar to those I carried in Iraq and Afghanistan have no place in our schools, churches, and streets. Because of votes last November, we'll finally ban these weapons from Virginia. virginiaindependentnews.com/politics/vir...

Great to hear from community members about what matters most to them at the Fairfax County General Assembly Delegation’s Pre-2026 Session Public Hearing today

We just watched ICE execute an American citizen. Now the Trump admin is denying local law enforcement the right to investigate. Those involved should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and defend their actions in court.

BREAKING - just introduced my assault weapons ban bill. Weapons similar to those I carried in Iraq and Afghanistan have no place in our schools and places of worship - and after Gov. Youngkin vetoed this bill twice, we're going to do something about it.

Thank you to the Arcadia Center for Sustainable Food & Agriculture for hosting me on a tour! Really appreciated seeing the work firsthand and hearing about the valuable impact of Arcadia's programming.

We cannot stand by idly & allow Virginians to be deployed against fellow Americans or to enrich Trump’s oil billionaire buddies. Proud to be working with @friendsofvirgil.bsky.social @jetforva.bsky.social @marcussimon.com & @scvanvalkenburg.bsky.social to protect the VA National Guard’s integrity

In November 2024, Americans did not vote to elect a President of Venezuela. Insane to watch @donaldjtrump-maga.bsky.social stand on stage and say he and his cabinet are now in charge of the country. #nokings

I was on the ground the last time a President said we were going to run a country. Congress failed to act, and countless numbers died as a result

A Congress too cowardly to stop an unnecessary war overseas killed my friends. Trump’s actions in Venezuela are illegal. They’re wrong. Since Congress won’t act, I’m introducing a bill to protect Virginians from being forced to fight Trump’s illegal battles at home and abroad.

Congratulations to @braddocksupervisor.bsky.social on her swearing-in as Braddock District Supervisor. Strong local leadership matters, and Rachna’s dedication to community and collaboration will serve the Braddock District well.

Wishing a merry Christmas to all celebrating today!

Great to visit Centreville High School for Bring Your Legislator to School Day with Sully District School Board Member Seema Dixit, Sully District Supervisor Kathy Smith, and Chair and Springfield District School Board Member Sandy Anderson.

Congratulations to Supervisor Margaret Franklin for securing the Democratic nomination for HD23's upcoming special election!

Congratulations to @fxbulova.bsky.social for securing the Democratic nomination for HD11's upcoming special election!

I have served alongside people of every faith on battlefields around the world. They, and every Muslim member of our community, are undoubtedly, indivisibly, Americans. It is beyond disgusting that some Republican lawmakers seek to paint an entire faith for the actions of a few.

Happy Hanukkah to all celebrating!

Go Army! Beat Navy!

Honored to attend and speak at the 73rd Anniversary Celebration of the Korean Veterans Association.

Great to speak to the Woodson Young Democrats about the political process and my work as a legislator. Always inspired to see young people taking an active interest in how our government works.

Joined the Fairfax Tree Rescuers PRISM effort at Middleridge Park, where neighbors are tackling invasive vines to save our trees. Thank you to everyone helping protect our local environment and the places our families rely on.

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, and hope you too have much to be thankful for!

Thanks to Sandy Anderson and Rachna Sizemore Heizer for hosting me this Bring Your Legislator to School Day! Great to meet so many dedicated students and see the incredible work that goes on in our schools.

Two years ago, @donscott757.bsky.social and our caucus plotted an ambitious path to growing our majority. As Campaigns Chair, I watched our candidates outcompete Republicans across the Commonwealth. The result? The biggest Democratic majority in nearly four decades. cardinalnews.org/2025/11/24/b...

Trump is fine with Texas and Florida redistricting so long as it serves him—but when people voted to check his overreach, he sued. Last week, Virginians made it very clear that we need to put every option on the table to balance Trump's federal overreach, and we'll fight to respect their decision.

Honor of a lifetime to have served side by side with those who are willing to sacrifice for our country. Happy Veterans Day!
