We had a stellar canvass launch followed by great conversations with voters in Norfolk’s 94th District. Key issues today: taking care of our veterans, protecting Medicaid & SNAP, safeguarding reproductive rights, and supporting public education. Early voting starts on Friday!

In the Richmond Times Dispatch today: A joint op-ed authored by me and Delegate Michael Feggans explaining how Trump's cuts to SNAP and Medicaid will do harm to Virginia's veterans & military families.

Our family is honored to be on the September 2025 cover of Ocean View Living! Just look at those kiddos😍 As locals know, our little corner of the world is special. Sara and I are proud to be raising our daughters here. And I’m thankful to represent and serve our community in the House of Delegates.

We had a ball at Harbor Park — thanks to everyone who came out to support us last night! The majority runs through the 757! ⚾️

Here’s some fun news! Proud to share that I was nominated & chosen as a 2025 States Project Fellow, a leadership development program convening a small group of state legislators from across the US each year. I’m headed to Philly to listen, learn, & bring back good ideas for Norfolk & Virginia!

Happy Independence Day — and cheers to all those who are engaged in the necessary, ongoing work to realize the promise of America. 🇺🇸 I was delighted to join the 20th Annual 4th of July Parade in East Beach this morning!

Thanks to Dave & Nancy King for hosting an event in East Beach yesterday in support of my reelection campaign. I’m grateful for all of my supporters! While there is great frustration about the chaos & cruelty in DC, let me tell you — Virginia is going to send a message to the nation this November!

It’s nice to bump into friends at the Ocean View Business Association meeting this morning at CoVa. @philforvirginia.bsky.social saved me a seat :) #OV #OVBA

Well that was fun! This afternoon, Sen. Angelia Williams Graves and I, along with most of the Norfolk delegation, presented a joint commending resolution to Keyshawn Davis, a Norfolk native & the current lightweight world boxing champion.

Did you know? In my first term, 4 of the 10 bills I passed into law focus on protecting our environment & helping us build a clean energy future. Thanks to the Va League of Conservation Voters for recognizing this work and presenting me with a 2025 Legislative Leadership Award!

At the 3rd annual Memorial Day Parade organized by the Larchmont Edgewater Civic League, Del. Anthony & I presented a resolution commending the civic league for “honoring active duty service members, veterans, and those who have given their lives in defense of the nation.” 🇺🇸

Now THAT was a town hall! We had nearly 100 people in attendance & we returned ~$3,000 worth of unclaimed property to Norfolk residents! Thanks to our terrific special guests & everyone who showed up last night!

Yet another reason to join our town hall this Thursday! We start at 6pm at Pretlow Library in OV.

I’m honored to receive this recognition from @virginialcv.bsky.social!

This morning, 13NewsNow filmed a story about how I fought for (and got approved) $100k of state funding to help Titustown determine its eligibility to become a Historic District. It’s one of the oldest African American neighborhoods in Norfolk. Story airs later this week, tune in!

Norfolk LOVES the annual Taste of India event at Chartway arena. There’s amazing food, performances, vendors, & celebrated traditions. No wonder it draws thousands of visitors from all over our region. Many thanks to the organizers for putting on this wonderful event each year!

Many thanks to all of the community members who attended the Norfolk Delegation town hall yesterday night. Public service is a team sport and I’m grateful to serve alongside truly outstanding colleagues.

Thanks so much to @vplc.bsky.social for this tremendous honor — policy work is a team sport & I’ll always fight to lift up working class families.

I'm excited to see another piece of my affordability agenda become law! HB 2029 will help localities deliver property tax relief to seniors & people with disabilities. This builds on legislation I passed in 2024 to help expand property tax relief to more Gold Star families.

It was great to have the next Governor of Virginia, @abigailspanberger.com, in Norfolk yesterday evening!

Fired up & ready to go! Filed my paperwork to run for reelection this November! Thanks to all of the amazing and dedicated volunteers who helped me collect signatures to get on the ballot!

Fun scenes from the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Ocean View! 🍀

Doesn’t matter if you’re a working class family, a senior with a fixed income, a veteran, a small biz owner, or a young person starting out. This isn’t the news anyone in our economy wants to see.

As the White House initiates a trade war, here's an admittedly sobering analysis about what could be in store for families across the United States: higher prices for cars, food, & energy. Read the full report from the Council on Foreign Relations here: www.cfr.org/article/what...

Did you know the City of Norfolk played a key role in the development of IVF? In fact, the first IVF baby in America was born in Norfolk. Last week, I took to the House floor to share more about this history. ⤵️ youtu.be/Hu7BxrHikUM?...

It's a real honor to shine a light on incredible institutions, small businesses, & individuals in our local community. Congratulations to these six recipients of 2025 Commending Resolutions from the House of Delegates! Looking forward to delivering them soon! ⭐️

I’m happy to report that seven of my bills are headed to the Governor’s desk & two of my budget requests were included in the conference budget. Here’s a closer look at those wins:

Team Norfolk in the House!

The 2025 General Assembly Session. It’s fast and flurious.

We’ve kicked off my 2025 reelection campaign! 🌊 Running for office — and getting things done in the General Assembly — is a TEAM sport & I’m grateful to have so many *amazing* supporters in Norfolk’s 94th District. We are going to expand our Democratic majority in 2025!
