⬇️Read the linked article for an absolutely BRUTAL and factual takedown of Benedict Cline's assertion that @bethmacy.bsky.social is a pawn of Hollywood. ⬇️

Ben "California" Cline has taken thousands in PAC money from Disney, Sony, Paramount, Universal and the Motion Picture Association. So we know who Hollywood's preferred candidate is. (Reminder: My campaign accepts no corporate PAC contributions.) augustafreepress.com/news/ben-cli...

I am honored to have earned the endorsement of the League of Conservation Voters, tireless workers who advocate for clean energy, water and air. When I get to Congress, I will work to return the United States to common-sense climate policy that has been recklessly decimated by Trump and Ben Cline.

We are now 500 days into Donald Trump's second term. I know it seems longer. Here is a short list of Trump's accomplishments during that time:

It's most definitely time to "DeCline" Trump bluevirginia.us/2026/06/afte... h/t @hburgdems.bsky.social

I am happy that the House of Representatives voted to end the Iran war unless it receives Congressional approval. Four Republicans joined Democrats to approve the resolution and provide checks on the President, but Ben Cline believes that loyalty to this Administration is his top priority.

I loved this interview with Sarah, wonderful intern!

I’m thankful for the endorsement of @tomperriello.bsky.social and look forward to working with him to serve the people of our region who have lacked real representation in Congress for years.

Her reporting on the opioid epidemic didn't just win awards - it changed the national conversation and gave voice to communities that needed someone to fight for them. We need Beth in Congress to make life affordable for working families, protect and expand access to health care,

What a lovely evening for a parade! I had fun participating in the Fireman's Parade sponsored by the Timberville Volunteer Fire Department. It was great to see so many friends and supporters in Rockingham County. My thanks to Richard Finklestein and Ralph Hensley for the pictures.

Thank you Ken, what a great review!

I am thrilled for Sen. Mark Warner's endorsement, and I am just as excited to be on the ballot with him this November as we prepare to help ALL working families! I am grateful that he mentioned investment in rural communities, which deserve more attention from Washington.

My great-great-grandfather Patrick Campion fled the Irish potato famine in 1850. In 1864, he joined the 5th Pa. Artillery and defended the nation's capital. In the spring of 1865, his regiment properly reburied the remains of 2,000 soldiers who died during the Second Battle of Bull Run.

Great event with rural and urban democrats at the Star in the Valley Winery this afternoon. Thank you Rep Walkinshaw and Candidate for CD 6, Beth Macy, for coming out to talk to us. It was a bright spot in a difficult time. #shenandoahcountydemocrats @shencodems.bsky.social

Today, we'll be joined by Democratic candidate for the 6th CD, @bethmacy.bsky.social, followed by an open to the public social gathering at Star in the Valley winery in Strasburg from 1-3 #DemocratsDefendDemocracy

I am grateful and humbled to have the support of 2024 Democratic candidate Ken Mitchell, a Virginia gentleman, veteran, Shenandoah Valley farmer and family man who dedicated his life to service for others. His motto of "we will leave no one behind" perfectly describes what this campaign is about.

"Gardening is a masterclass in delayed gratification. It forces you to invest in a future you cannot yet see. It demands a quiet optimism that flies directly in the face of the dread we get spoon-fed on our screens." Lovely essay by @bethmacy.bsky.social #gardening 🌱 substack.com/home/post/p-...

Shapiro: Somehow, he can’t find the money to pay for healthcare, but he can steal from you to pay off the criminals who stormed the Capitol.

Now Donald Trump has set up a $1.8 billion $lu$h fund designed to send YOUR taxpayer dollars to January 6 criminals, his political cronies and most likely himself and his own family members. This is unparalleled corruption and, trust me, unlike Ben Cline, I will hold Trump accountable in Congress.

I believe every worker deserves a seat at the table. As a child, the only time we ate steak for dinner was when my Dad had a union painting job. When I'm in Congress, I'll support the PRO Act, which will lift up the Middle Class. We cannot deny people the right to negotiate for a fair wage.

Unconscionable. We need to up our game Minneapolis-resistance style. They’re coming after all our communities.

Great piece by @bethmacy.bsky.social! open.substack.com/pub/bethmacy...

Donald Trump: "I don't think about Americans' financial situation ..." And you wonder why Trump's numbers on handling prices are underwater in every congressional district in the United States. Every. Single. One. abcnews.com/Politics/tru...

Please stop. You knowingly took a big gamble and lost. How about you Dems spend that money on turning out GOP reps in the 1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th districts. Yes, the 6th! Beth Macy can beat Benedict Cline if you do something you've not done in 30 years -- actually support a candidate here.

Neither rain, snow, heat nor sleet keeps the Monday rally-goers from protesting outside Ben Cline's office for the 65th consecutive week! Great to talk about my campaign with John Carlin of WSLS, Ian Price of WFIR and Noah from WDBJ today in downtown Roanoke.

I had a great evening speaking to Lexington-Rockbridge-Buena Vista Democrats Saturday night. I met terrific folks and had a blast spending time with Virginia Sen. Creigh Deeds. Rockbridge County will be a key area when we win the 6th!

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need: -Paid family leave -Equal pay -Universal childcare -Universal healthcare (But get your mom flowers, too)

Some scrambling might be necessary, but I’ve done it all my life (because I’ve been underestimated all my life).

Grateful to Pete!

It was an honor to give the keynote speech last night at the Roanoke Branch of the NAACP Awards Dinner. Seeing groundbreakers such as Brenda Hamilton and over 350 warriors for justice was fantastic. And the kids were inspiring!

#Virginia 6th District has an amazing candidate in Beth Macy. She taught a writing class I took in college as an adult student. She knows the stories and needs of people in our district. She would deliver House representation we could finally be proud of. #VoteMacy www.wdbj7.com/2026/05/08/c...

Let’s give ol’ Ben a race he won’t forget! Please follow and donate to @bethmacy.bsky.social

ROANOKE, VA - Beth Macy, candidate for Virginia's Sixth Congressional district, issued the following statement today in response to the Virginia Supreme Court's decision to overturn the results of a successful passage of the referendum to redraw Virginia's Congressional maps:

My friend @bethmacy.bsky.social has never taken the easy path. She will fight like a rabid she-cat to put Ben Cline out of a job. He’ll have plenty of free time to cruise West Palm and Mar-A-Lago!

Please read my statement about the Virginia Supreme Court overturning the results of an election. The will of the people has been denied for now, but not for much longer.

Great to spend time in conversation with the amazing Mona Raza, General Counsel and Executive Director of the Legal Aid Society of Roanoke Valley. We talked about the importance of Legal Aid to ensure the rights of everyone and how rising prices are pushing more and more people into poverty.

No Show congressman Ben Cline now says the Roanoke rally signs to 86 him from Congress are threatening his safety. “I’m 75. My wife is 73,” one said. “We’re not Jan. 6 people; those are the violent people.”

My friend’s 88-year-old mother was dying last week and, satisfied that she had planned every detail of her funeral down to the program font and having banned the singing of “Amazing Grace” because of overuse, she directed my friend to “Call the mortuary!…But, first, bring me some coffee.” RIP Patsy.

i genuinely wish the democratic national committee was as powerful, organized and ruthless as a lot of people seem to think it is

The United States is the only advanced industrialized democracies in the world without universal coverage for healthcare. If you have it and your job status does not depend on it, good for you. Change jobs, get fired like CDC workers and you are screwed.

I'll be talking to author and congressional candidate @bethmacy.bsky.social at the Columbus Central Library on Sunday, 2PM. For free!

My less-than-two-cents: Keep thinking about packing the court. Stay active on all the fronts. Keep calling out Dems. But search for ways for to get *busy* however you feel called, right where you are, because the big hurdles are a ways off, & there's a lot of ground to cover between here & there.

Meeting with supporters in Roanoke on Sunday afternoon to talk about sensible solutions to gun violence was inspiring.

Proud to be a featured speaker at Roanoke Pride in the Park on Sunday afternoon, celebrating our LGBTQ+ community of friends and family. The great Dr. Brenda Hale, president of the Roanoke Branch NAACP, was as inspiring as always!

A succinct formulation.

"I have followed Beth's advocacy for the people of Southwest Virginia through her investigative journalism, her books, and her advocacy for those ravaged by drugs, greed, poverty and injustice." -- Fairfax Mayor and William Byrd High School graduate Catherine Read.

Our Rep. Cline is legally challenging the redistricting, saying it "reduces the voices of rural Virginians" The Lexington/Rockbridge/Buena Vista Dems are right that his constituents' voices weren't being heard, anyway, since he didn't even hold town halls. Image via @bluevirginia.bsky.social

Thank you!
