Wow, Nelson. You showed up for democracy last night to attend our forum and roundtable discussions with U.S House of Representatives candidates running in the Aug. 4 Democratic Primary. Thank you to Dr. Suzanne Krzyzanowski, Rob Tracinski and a representative of Tom Perriello for participating.

Every legislative action that takes a stand against Trump’s reckless and corrupt presidency is a step in the right direction. Silence is complicity. So, if you don’t already have them, elect Democratic leaders to Congress who aren’t afraid to say, “Not on my watch.” @kaine.senate.gov

The fate of our country could hinge on the 2026 midterms, so here’s the plan: Let’s nominate a Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives who will carry us to victory in November. Attend our Candidate Forum on June 24 and learn more about the Democrats seeking the nomination.

A reminder that festivities to celebrate Juneteenth get underway in Nelson County tomorrow afternoon!

This summer, you have plenty of opportunities to vote early in-person at the Nelson County Registrar’s Office before the Aug. 4 primary election. Check the link for times and dates before you go: www.nelsoncounty-va.gov/government/v...

We're going to take back our country one election at a time and, for the 5th District, that means electing a Democrat to the U.S. House of Representatives. The first step is nominating a candidate, so please join us on June 24 and get to know the three Democratic Primary candidates. See you there.

We know Nelson County is one of the places that makes Virginia truly special, and we've seen some of your spectacular photos, so here's your chance to be a part of history. ciosenus.app.box.com/f/b5f2d1e01f...

Celebrate Juneteenth at the Nelson Heritage Center, 1653 Thomas Nelson Highway, Arrington, VA 22922!

This Memorial Day, we remember and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our country and defend our freedoms.

Since our congressman, John McGuire, has time to stand around waving at cars, let's put his time to better use, like calling and telling him to push back against Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund. While we’re at it, let's ask if he’s ever going to hold a public town hall. 202-225-4711 or 434-791-2596.

Is this the result we wanted? Certainly not. But does it strengthen our resolve to join Americans across the nation in voting Trump's supporters out of office in November? You bet. See you at the polls.

While the GOP wants to spend $1 billion on a ballroom, Democratic Senators Kaine and Warner took a deep dive into what that much money could actually buy for Virginians who are struggling to make ends meet. Turns out, it's a lot.

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.
