📢 With food insecurity rising, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors proclaimed September as #HungerActionMonth. Now more than ever, we must support the organizations fighting hunger— especially as the federal government has cut $1B in food aid and just ended its annual hunger report. 🍽️

I joined the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors in calling out President Trump’s pressure campaign that led U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert to resign. It's an attack on the rule of law, and we ask Congress & judges to stop the president from turning the U.S. Attorney’s office into his personal law firm.

On this Rosh Hashanah eve, I wish you Ketivah v’chatima tovah, and may your new year be sweet! #RoshHashanah2025
