My full statement in response to the Youngkin-majority University of Virginia Board of Visitors naming a new university president in the final days of his administration:

Congratulations to Gretchen Bulova on becoming our Democratic nominee for HD-11! Democrats must continue our momentum into January’s elections and send Gretchen to Richmond to fight on behalf of Virginia’s families.

Congratulations Margaret Angela Franklin on becoming our Democratic nominee for HD-23! She has served with distinction on the Prince William County Board of Supervisors, and we must work to ensure that record of service continues in the House of Delegates.

Congratulations to Charlie Schmidt, our Democratic nominee for House District 77. I look forward to a collaborative effort among Democrats as our candidates for SD-15 and HD-77 face the General Election in January.

As constituents across the Commonwealth begin the celebration of Hanukkah this evening, may the lights of the season usher in peace, hope, and goodwill. I wish all who are celebrating a meaningful holiday. Chag Sameach!

Our children deserve solutions, not distractions. My full statement on the Virginia Department of Education’s release of performance metrics:

As I step into the role of Lieutenant Governor, my focus remains on delivering real solutions for working families and ensuring every community has a voice in Richmond. Ready to get to work building a stronger, fairer Virginia.

Congratulations to Braddock District Supervisor-elect Rachna Sizemore Heizer (@rachnash.bsky.social)! As a public servant, you have continuously delivered for the people of Fairfax County and I know that legacy will continue in your new position.

Congratulations to Delegate Mike Jones on becoming the Democratic nominee in SD-15. Mike has been a steadfast partner in the fight for social, economic, & environmental justice. I know he’ll continue to be a strong champion for our communities in the State Senate.

It was wonderful joining Chamber RVA today. Hearing directly from business leaders on their priorities in education, housing, & health care helps inform the work of lawmakers, ensuring we continue to be one of the best states to live, work, receive an education, & raise a family.

I proudly endorse @markwarner.bsky.social for re-election. Senator Warner has fought for Virginians throughout his public service, from making health care more accessible and affordable, to protecting our military members and veterans, to standing up for our democracy.

Wishing everyone a holiday filled with the special joy of time spent with family and friends. For those of us missing loved ones around the table, may our hearts be comforted by sweet memories.

The State Corporation Commission’s ruling on the gas-fired Chesterfield Energy Reliability Center takes Virginia backwards. My full statement:

It’s wonderful to spend time at Radford University for our annual Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee retreat. Thank you, President Danilowicz and the entire Highlander community, for your hospitality.

It was great keynoting the Chesapeake Solar & Storage Association's (@solarindustry.bsky.social) Annual Conference in Arlington. Our clean energy production & storage landscape will require regulatory, legislative, & market-driven approaches to ensure Virginia remains a national leader.

Senator @barbarafavola.bsky.social is an exemplary leader, who has dedicated her career in public service to improving lives across Virginia. Today, I was honored to share her strong legislative record as she was presented the William L. Winston Award by the Arlington County Bar Foundation.

I join others in mourning the loss of a Virginia Department of Corrections Officer killed today at River North Correctional Center in Independence. I am praying for this officer's family, as well as the other injured officer who is currently hospitalized, & our entire VDOC staff.

It’s a beautiful day to celebrate with our CD-04 Democrats! Our Democratic Committees and their volunteers helped Virginia secure historic victories up and down the ballot that have sent a resounding message across the world: our democracy and our values are worth fighting for.

My Transition Committee convened today for our first meeting. Encompassing perspectives from across government, industry sectors, issue areas, & regions of VA, these leaders will help build an Office of the LG that is relentlessly focused on improving the lives of Virginians.

I am excited to meet with my fellow Democratic Lieutenant Governors from across the nation today in Washington, D.C. Together, we are working to find solutions to the problems created by Donald Trump and his Republican Congress.

Today, we honor the sacrifice of those who have worn our nation's uniform and served our country, both domestically and abroad. Veterans Day compels us to reaffirm our commitment to increasing support and resources for Virginia’s more than 670,000 veterans and their families.

It was wonderful to keynote The Commonwealth Institute’s Annual Policy Summit today! The research, advocacy, & coalition-building done by TCI & partner organizations are always vital, but are even more salient now as we face a multitude of crises in health care, housing, education, & more.

Congratulations to Speaker Don Scott, Majority Leader Charniele Herring, and Caucus Chair Kathy Tran on their unanimous re-elections to House leadership! I look forward to building on our collaborative work during the 2026 General Assembly session and beyond.

Congratulations to our Democratic incumbents in the House of Delegates on their victories last evening! I look forward to working together to build a Commonwealth that works for every family.

Congratulations to our newly-elected Democratic House members! The Commonwealth is ready to welcome this new era of leaders into the Chamber in January.

Thank you, Virginia, for the immense honor bestowed upon me to serve as your next Lieutenant Governor. This moment belongs to every Virginian who believes that our politics must be more hopeful, more inclusive, and more compassionate.

It was an honor to have @gabbygiffords.bsky.social back in Virginia today for a canvass launch in Alexandria. I am so thankful to the volunteers putting in the hard work to knock on doors and make sure every Virginian knows what’s at stake in this election.

Stopped by Alexandria this morning with @adamebbin.bsky.social for a tour of the many wonderful small businesses in Del Ray. When we invest in local businesses, we invest in strong communities where Virginians can work and live all in one place.

Great energy this afternoon in Midlothian for a canvass launch alongside @lesliemehta.bsky.social and @emilyslist.bsky.social President Jessica Mackler. Let’s finish strong, Virginia!

Thank you, Norfolk, for the opportunity to share my vision for the Commonwealth: lower costs for working families, access to affordable health care, and stronger public schools. Together, we will make this vision a reality this Tuesday.

I am honored to have shared a stage with President @barackobama.bsky.social in Norfolk today! We know there is too much at stake to sit on the sidelines this election. With your vote, we can move Virginia forward to a future filled with opportunity.

Happy Halloween, Virginia! Had a fun time meeting Virginians alongside @maynivar.com and Delegate Betsy Carr.

While my opponent is busy spreading hateful lies, I am busy fighting for Virginians and standing up for our Commonwealth.

This is exactly why my opponent is unfit to preside over Virginia's Senate. americanjournalnews.com/republican-j...

Virginians deserve a voice in the future of our Commonwealth and of our country.

After a day of session, I made it up to Leesburg last night for their incredible Halloween Parade. It was great connecting with Virginians of all ages and admiring all the fun costumes!

Nothing is scarier than forgetting to vote! Virginia, early voting is happening today and tomorrow, November 1. Make a plan to cast your ballot and make your voice heard in this critical election by visiting iwillvote.com/va

For years I have partnered with the Feed More facility here in Richmond, and this morning they generously welcomed me for a tour before I head into Special Session.

Second stop of the day for a tour of the Local Office on Aging in Roanoke with conversations centering on how we can better support our providers and ensure that vital programs continue to serve our communities, from our veterans to our seniors.

My statement on General Assembly Special Session:
