VA-01 has officially kicked off holiday season

Imagine losing your job after years of public service because of a half-assed department that fell apart in less than a year. www.reuters.com/world/us/dog...

Chaos as a strategy isn’t just cruel, it’s ineffective.

I’m old enough to remember when:

This is a significant moment of accountability. Not just for the roster of powerful people implicated, but also for the victims. It's easy to focus on the political opportunity or laugh at the absurd things said, but let's also remember the wrenching stories behind all of this.

It was great to join the William & Mary Young Dems for a meet & greet this week! They knocked THOUSANDS of door in the 2025 election and are fired up for 2026! Thank you for having me 🫶

People want action on health care, paychecks back in their pockets, and food on the table. But Americans have also told me over and over again that they want fight from their leaders, even under pressure. Getting steamrolled into bailing out billionaires instead of working people is unacceptable.

If corporations are applauding you, it’s worth asking whether you’re doing right by them or by Americans.

I love that Richmond’s been able to have hometown pride for Rama 💙

My thoughts on election night 2025 💙

Proud to be a day one supporter of Chesterfield’s own @senatorhashmi.bsky.social 💙

You know what I woke up to today? Dozens of audio messages from my extremely working class immigrant mom who told me she finally feels hopeful because these wins show people understand that Democrats are for them, not billionaires. Let’s keep going.

Today is the day, Virginia! It’s time to elect @abigailspanberger.com and all of our Democratic nominees. Polls are open until 7pm!

All of these phenomenal candidates are on the ballot TODAY and on Tuesday, November 4th! Make a plan to vote for them and let’s get one step closer to getting VA-01 the representation it deserves!

In Virginia’s 1st district, we have SEVEN competitive delegate races! Today is the last day to vote early and Election Day is Tuesday, November 4th. Starting today’s candidate 🧵with my home district where civil rights attorney @lesliemehta.bsky.social is running to flip House District 73!

Is DJT dressing up as Marie Antoinette for Halloween? 42 million Americans are about to lose access to food! We don't care about your marble bathroom renovation. Let them eat cake.

Three months, 18 localities, and hundreds of conversations! Thank you to everyone who came out and shared your stories. It’s time to flip VA-01 and elect a representative who will actually show up, listen, and fight for working families across the district.

If our electeds couldn’t buy groceries, the government would never shut down. In the richest nation on earth, 42 million Americans are about to lose food assistance. Doing my small part today by donating to @feedmoreinc.bsky.social, and hoping Republicans get it together. Families are hurting.

Public schools shaped who I am. My high school English teacher changed my life because she saw something in me and pushed me to reach it. Every kid deserves that chance. It’s time to strengthen public schools, raise teacher pay, and deliver universal pre-K.

Only one week left until Election Day, Virginia! Now is the time to vote for Democrats up and down the ballot and elect leaders who will fight for affordability, accessible healthcare, and a fair shot for every family. You can vote early through November 1st!

Had a great day on the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula yesterday including stops in Kilmarnock and at the King and Queen County democratic committee meeting! Thank you for having me!

In high school, I made $7.25 an hour slicing deli meat at a gas station. That was over a decade ago and the federal minimum wage hasn’t budged. No one can thrive on $7.25 an hour. Let’s raise the minimum wage so people earn the fair pay they deserve.

Families deserve better. I’m fighting for affordable childcare, fair wages, and strong schools across the country. Read the full plan at lvk.vote/priorities.

Yes to this. Yes to term limits. Americans collectively agree our politics are broken. Let’s elect people who want to hold themselves accountable and rebuild trust when we desperately need it. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/o...

Dem candidate running to replace worthless Rob Wittman in #VA01 will work for you, not wealthy donors.

Real accountability starts with who you answer to. I’m proud to commit to never taking corporate PAC or AIPAC money. Our representatives should answer to the people, not special interests.

The Lisa Listens tour continues this week! Join us by signing up at lvk.vote/events!

Tuesday tidings! Joining @zerlinamaxwell.bsky.social: Fmr. White House Press Sec. & Author of the new book INDEPENDENT @karinejean-pierre.bsky.social, VA-01 Candidate @lisaforvirginia.bsky.social + @ilattygeneral.bsky.social! ☎️ 866-997-4748 📻 @siriusxmprog.bsky.social Ch. 127 siriusxm.us/Zerlina

When child care forces moms out of work or when maternity care is an hour’s drive away, it’s because no one writing the policies has lived it. Read my full plan at lvk.vote/priorities.

Yesterday, we rallied. Today, we vote, knock doors and invite people into the fight. The stakes are too high to do anything else. #nokings #nokingswilliamsburg

From GOTV canvassing to tabling to meet & greets, we’ll be all across VA-01 this weekend and want to see you there! Join us at lvk.vote/events.

Had a great time knocking doors for @maynivar.com in Henrico last night! As a fellow first-generation American, I’m so inspired by her story and her fight for working families. Let’s send her energy and leadership to Richmond!

Congratulations y’all! News of a child on the way should be a joy. For too many folks our age, it brings fear: how will we afford childcare? Do we have to move for schools? Can I take time from work? It should be easier to fill out homes with children’s laughter than with handwringing and debt.

Whoa, this ad is very good!

Can't wait for there to be a whole caucus of three-name congresswomen who we just refer to by their initials: AOC, MGP, LVK, etc.

Looking ahead to 2026 VA-1 Dem candidate Lisa Vedernikova Khanna out with a new ad She highlights running for Congress while pregnant Dems looking to VA-1 as expansion seat

VA01 Democratic Candidate Lisa Vedernikova Khanna Announces Pregnancy, Releases New Video and Policy Plan to Make Pregnancy and Parenthood More Affordable bluevirginia.us/2025/10/tues...

Things around here just got a little bit more interesting... I'm running for Congress because the rest of us can use a break. Especially if you've got a growing family.

I’ll start answering questions at 9:30am. See you there!

“Duma” means “thought” in Russian. In Trump’s America, Congress has abandoned both thought and backbone. Johnson’s House nods along as an autocrat seizes power. This isn’t oversight, it's surrender. We need to elect fighters for our country, not spectators to its downfall.

The best part of the night was @abigailspanberger.com saying that WSE is her opponent, not her enemy. We have a vacuum of leadership in our country. At a time when our president shows no interest in unity, we need a leader like Spanberger who actually wants to lower the temperature and unite us.

@lisaforvirginia.bsky.social is a Dem candidate running to replace worthless Rob Wittman in #VA01. Read the article gto learn more about her!

Thank you @marieclaire.com.web.brid.gy for the opportunity to share my story about running for Congress while pregnant. Read the full piece here: marieclaire.com/politics/lis...

Harry and I are thrilled to share the exciting news that Baby Khanna is coming this winter! (1/6)

Happy first day of recess to Rob Wittman! How many town halls is good ole Rob hosting while he’s home in district? Oh right. None. As always. Come meet me at one of my dozen+ events across VA-01 where I’ll be actually meeting our neighbors, not hiding from them. www.lvk.vote/events

I was born here 30 years ago, and I’m just as American as the descendants of the Mayflower. Birthright citizenship is uniquely American: if you’re born here, you belong here. I’m glad to see that reaffirmed today. For me, my husband, and many millions, it’s why we can proudly call America home.

October 1st marks the official start of oyster season here in VA-01! Lets slurp and celebrate this vital industry, a cleaner Bay and the hardworking communities who make it all happen.

Republicans shut down the government. Not over spending or policy. Over their crusade to take away health care from millions. Dems are ready to keep Americans healthy and our government open. Rob Wittman: are you ready to lead, or will you just waltz to Trump’s tune?

As Trump's govt prepares to shut down for an unknown period - throwing people out of work, cutting off services Virginians rely upon, and creating yet more chaos nationwide - Wittman has opened his wallet to receive more donor money. (Kudos to @lisaforvirginia.bsky.social for spotting this!)

What are they *honoring* him for? His stupid SHARKED bill that investigates why apex marine predators eat other fish?
