It’s appalling to see so many Southern states rush to break up majority-Black congressional districts. We have a long road ahead of us to overcome the damage done to the Voting Rights Act. It starts with educating ourselves, spreading the word and, in November, voting in numbers too big to ignore.

Congratulations to Patricia Harper-Tunley, who received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Rural Caucus of the Democratic Party of Virginia last weekend. As chair of the 5th Congressional District Democratic Committee, Patricia is an inspiration and tireless advocate for the Democratic cause.

No surprise here. Who else has always known he's unfit to serve as president?

Our friends in the Shenandoah Valley have it exactly right. November midterms, here we come. @shencodems.bsky.social

The Supreme Court has gutted the Voting Rights Act. Join us for a virtual briefing on May 4 to learn how we are fighting back against the Louisiana v. Callais decision and ensuring every American has their voice heard this November: win.dnc.org/callais

Pain at the pump is real, and if you live in a rural county like ours, where you have to drive a ways for pretty much everything, it can hurt even more. Here’s hoping we elect a Democratic Congress in November to safeguard Americans because we sure can’t take much more of this Republican one.

Putting people first: Beginning in 2028, landmark legislation passed by Gov. Spanberger and the General Assembly will guarantee working Virginians the right to take up to 12 weeks of paid time off to welcome a child, care for a seriously ill loved one, or recover from their own serious health issue.

There was a collective sigh of relief heard around the nation last night, and you made it happen, Virginia. Thank you to every single person who added their YES vote to the winning total and gave our fellow Americans another reason to hope. @democrats.org

Encouraging the YES vote in Gladstone today! You still have time to vote for congressional redistricting that will give our democracy a fighting chance. Polls are open until 7 p.m. iwillvote.com

Voter turnout early this morning was about as brisk as the weather here in Nelson County's Rockfish Precinct! Come on out and vote YES for congressional redistricting that will help stop Trump's power grab. Polls close throughout the county at 7 p.m. Hope to see you soon! iwillvote.com

Our deepest condolences to Sen. Warner and his family.

If you've been wondering for the last 15 months how you can make a real difference, THIS IS YOUR MOMENT. Go to the polls on April 21 and vote YES for congressional redistricting that will help foil Trump's plan to steal the midterms. www.bluenelson.org iwillvote.com

Only TWO days until Election Day. Make sure you have a plan to stop Trump’s power grab. Vote YES on April 21st. IWillVote.com/VA.

Vote Yes on Tuesday!

Listen to Senator Deeds! Please vote YES, tomorrow (Saturday April 18) or Tuesday, April 21!

Had enough of the national nightmare? Vote YES to allow a temporary redrawing of congressional districts to help counter Trump’s bid to rig midterms. Vote early Friday & Saturday at the Nelson County Registrar’s Office. On April 21, vote at your polling place. www.bluenelson.org/specialrefer...

Here in Nelson County, can you tell that we’re really taking the “YES” vote to heart in Virginia’s April 21 redistricting referendum? That’s because we know voting YES isn’t a political statement – it’s a patriotic one. www.bluenelson.org/specialrefer...

What happens in Congress in the next two years could come down to how you vote next week. A YES vote in Virginia’s April 21 redistricting referendum supports fairness in congressional midterms and gives America a fighting chance to stop Trump’s power grab. Let’s do this together.

Gov. Spanberger wasn't taking any guff from Trump this weekend — it's one of the things we like most about her. That and the fact that she's signing bills into laws to address high housing, healthcare, and energy costs. Unlike Trump, Virginia's governor is keeping her promises.

Vote YES, Nelson County! There are seven days left for in-person early voting in Virginia's all-important April 21 redistricting election: today, April 11, and April 13-18, all from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the County Registrar's Office, 571 Front St., Lovingston. www.nelsoncounty-va.gov/government/r...

Still waiting for our congressman, John McGuire, to condemn Trump’s horrific threats this week against an entire country (“A whole civilization will die tonight’).

Dear Virginia voters, If you woke up this morning thinking it's more important than ever to rein in Trump, our suggestion is to head on over to your early voting location and vote YES for congressional redistricting. Pass it on. Signed, Nelson Democrats and a Grateful Nation

Nelson Dems Chair Paul Sullivan and Vice Chair Roy White are urging you to head out to the Nelson County Registrar's Office and cast an early YES vote in the April 21 special election. Details: www.bluenelson.org/referendum2026

And this is exactly why voting YES in Virginia's April 21 referendum makes sense. It's going to give voters a fighting chance to rein in Trump and whatever additional harm he wants to inflict on Americans for the rest of his term. @fairelectionsva.bsky.social

From General Assembly leaders Don Scott and L. Louise Lucas: "We stand in offices made possible by Virginians who refused to accept exclusion as destiny . . . Virginia knows what it means when democracy is manipulated — and when communities have to fight back." Vote YES! on April 21.

President Obama is solidly endorsing a YES vote in Virginia's April 21 redistricting referendum. Don't believe any of the flyers (and we've seen 'em) that say otherwise. Thank you, sir.

The first-ever No Kings event in Nelson County didn't disappoint -- 300+ turned out in our beautiful county today to stand up to Trump and say they've had enough. Thank you, Nelson Indivisible, for making it happen! @indivisible.org

Nelson County is on the No Kings event map! So proud of everyone who will peacefully stand up to Trump and tyranny in Nelson's first No Kings rally on Saturday. Here's your local opportunity to be counted. The larger the turnout, the greater the impact. www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Every darn day, Trump gives us something else to be outraged about, but it's essential to keep focusing on what he'd rather we all forget, like how his healthcare cuts are hurting Americans. It didn't have to be this way. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

A first-time Democratic candidate just flipped a legislative seat in Trump’s own backyard. State by state, election by election, there is more and more reason to hope. #voteblue @democrats.org

Ever wish you could rein in Trump? Our Vote YES! page provides details about the April 21 referendum and how it can help restore the balance of power in Washington. www.bluenelson.org/referendum2026

The road we’re compelled to travel to protect our families, our neighbors and our democracy is a long one, but we’re not going it alone. The next No Kings peaceful protests are on March 28 and offer an opportunity for each of us to be a force for good. #NoKings

Vote YES! in Virginia’s April 21 referendum to redraw our congressional maps because America can’t endure another two years of Trump running amok. A YES! vote now can help elect a House majority in November that will be strong enough and brave enough to stand up for our country.

@bluevirginia.bsky.social Here in Nelson, gotta love how right they are when our neighbors encourage everyone to vote YES! in the April 21 special election. Let's redraw congressional maps to save democracy and stop Trump's attempts to rig the 2026 midterm elections. Vote YES!

If you're standing in a long airport security line anytime soon, just remember Senate Democrats offered a bill this week to fund TSA. Republicans blocked it. @democrats.org

This is how it started but Virginians can help determine how it's going to end. Vote YES on April 21 and give democracy a fighting chance during November's critical midterm elections.

It’s awesome that voters, not politicians, will get to decide if Virginia’s congressional districts can be temporarily redrawn. What’s not so awesome is a proposed Nelson County Board of Supervisors resolution “strongly” urging Nelson voters to oppose it. mailchi.mp/07fb165cfce7...

Va. schools will have to stick to the facts, and not the lies, if they teach kids about the Jan. 6 insurrection, according to a bill approved by the General Assembly. What a breath of fresh air. Thanks to our own @amylaufer55.bsky.social, one of the bill's patrons. www.cbsnews.com/news/virgini...

We believe in the power of the people to effect change, so here's info about the No Kings rally being planned right here in Nelson on March 28. In America, and in Nelson County, we don’t bow down to tyranny. Our voices raised in peaceful protest can make a difference. www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Good morning! Early in-person voting begins today for the April 21 referendum to redraw Virginia's congressional maps. While other states are rigging midterm elections at the direction of the president, this is our chance to fight back and restore fairness. Vote YES! @fairelectionsva.bsky.social

If, like President Obama, you don't think we can afford "two more years of unchecked power and zero accountability in Washington,” vote YES in Virginia's April 21 referendum to remap congressional districts while Trump tries to rig midterm elections in other states. Va. early voting starts March 6.
