Congratulations to my good friend Jay Jones on his victory tonight in the Dem AG primary! ⚖️ Proud to have supported you from the start & excited to work together to get this across the finish line. Virginians deserve an AG who will fight for them and stand up to Donald Trump.

Grateful to see so many people getting out and engaged in peaceful protest today. In a democracy, the voice of the people is the power that matters most. 🇺🇸🗽 #WeThePeople #NoKings

Threatening public servants—let alone targeting them and their families with deadly violence—isn’t just criminal; it’s antithetical to democracy, regardless of your political views. www.the-sun.com/news/1447956...

Proud of my perfect score on the VA League of Conservation Voters’ 2025 Conservation Scorecard. Conservation, preservation & ensuring access to resources for future generations are top priorities for me in SD-31. I’m dedicated to building a sustainable future for all Virginians 💪🌍 #LegislativeHero

⚖️ Big step forward for vulnerable victims in Virginia: Governor Youngkin signed SB894 into law *without* amendment. This is a huge achievement, restoring an avenue of civil justice for Virginians whose abuse likely could have been prevented. #ProtectVictims

I am saddened by the sudden death of a construction worker at the Ashburn Vantage Data Center site on April 10, and am in contact with the company & law enforcement. There is an ongoing investigation, and I am keeping the worker, their family and all those affected in my thoughts as we learn more.

After nightfall, Jewish people will hold the first Seder of Passover beginning the weeklong celebration commemorating the emancipation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. Chag Pesach Sameach!

Congratulations to Mayor Hornbaker, the Lovettsville Town Council & the town of Lovettsville on the commencement of Phase 2 of the East Broad Improvements project! Great to be with you to celebrate the groundbreaking yesterday.

With uncertainty in what lies ahead & mounting frustration w/ what's taking place in DC, it’s important Virginians have engaged leaders who are listening to our constituents. In that vein, thank you to everyone who joined us this evening for a legislative update & Q&A w/ the #LoudounDem delegation.

Thrilled to be appointed by my colleagues to serve on the newly-established Women's Health Commission! Please see my full statement on this news below:

Honored to join Loudoun Combined Fire & Rescue, the Loudoun BoS & GA colleagues to celebrate Chief Keith Johnson’s retirement & present SJ359 in recognition of his incredible service. A true giant in our community — thank you, Chief, for your decades of dedication!

While I'm thrilled to see our push for data centers to pay for their own power was effective, a $21/month cost increase on ratepayers while Virginians struggle to make ends meet is unacceptable -- and far from "rate stability" for residential users. www.loudounnow.com/news/dominio...

We’re in Richmond today, but the #LoudounDem delegation is getting together April 8th from 7-8pm for a virtual Post-Veto Session Town Hall. If you couldn’t make my town hall last week, I hope you’ll be able to join us next week! Register and submit your questions here: tinyurl.com/LoudounTownH...

Such a pleasure to get out & get my hands dirty with the community today to “Scrape for the Grape.” The invasive spotted lantern fly has become so pervasive that it’s destroying wineries around #SD31. In Richmond I’ll keep pushing for funding & research to protect our agriculture & local businesses.

Thrilled to continue supporting @spanbergerforva.bsky.social. As a fellow former CIA officer, I know the type of grit, strength and leadership she has. She’s guided us through tough times in Congress and I know she can continue to deliver for Virginia as our next Governor!

This program sustains our local farmers, grows VA’s economy & keeps our kids healthy. These cuts harm our kids & farmers; I can’t support that. I’ll keep pushing to fund this program in VA, like I fought to do this year, but fed. funding is crucial to protect these folks. apnews.com/article/scho...

Nowruz, also known as Persian New Year, marks the first day of spring and the beginning of the year in the Persian calendar with roots going back over 3,000 years! Nowruz Mubarak to all those celebrating!

With President Trump & DOGE firing tens of thousands of veterans across the US, our work on the Board of Veterans Services supporting Virginia vets is more important than ever. Today was our first meeting of 2025. We won't let Virginia veterans fall through the cracks.

This is who Trump’s 25% tariffs hurt: small, family-owned business like our very own Mom’s Apple Pie in Leesburg. From the eggs & butter they bake with to the cost of the tin pans they sell their pies in, these tariffs affect business-owners & consumers. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

As public servants, we always have our work cut out for us but the VA Young Democrats are right there beside us. I’m always happy to be in their corner and fight for our future. Thank you all - and the Loudoun County Young Dems - for taking the time to visit me in Richmond!

Last week, my bill eliminating out-of-pocket costs for #breastcancer screenings passed unanimously out of the Senate and House. This bill is not just about reducing costs, but about saving lives. Read more: www.wvtf.org/news/2025-02...

This #BlackHistoryMonth, I want to shine a light on an important piece of history in #SD31 - Douglass High School, named after abolitionist Frederick Douglass. The story of Douglass reminds us that education is the great equalizer & we have a duty to ensure everyone has access.
