Our elections this year are the most critical in the country, and @kenmartin73 understands that to win, we must organize everywhere. As Trump attacks our jobs, tanks our economy, destroys our healthcare safety nets, and attempts to dismantle our public schools, we can depend on.

The choice this November is clear. We need to elect @SpanbergerForVA, @SenatorHashmi, and @jonesjay to protect our economy and businesses, and ensure that our Commonwealth is a place where working families can thrive.

Virginia's sharp decline in CNBC's 'America's Top States for Business' rankings, the worst standing since 2018, rests squarely on the Youngkin-Sears admin’s shoulders. Their allegiance to Trump's extreme agenda is costing us jobs, weakening our economy & hurting our workforce.

By supporting this bill, Virginia’s Congressional Republicans are turning their backs on working families. Jen Kiggans and Rob Wittman already broke their promise to Virginians by voting to advance this disastrous budget that makes the largest cuts to Medicaid in history. Now.

More than 300,000 Virginians could lose access to their health care coverage if Republicans’ disastrous budget bill becomes law. This isn’t just numbers on a page, it’s real lives on the line. Our hospitals, our nursing homes, and our communities can’t afford these cuts. .

Jim Ryan has worked hard to make UVA an institution where every student, no matter their background, has a shot at success. But Donald Trump rejects the idea of opportunity for all, so he forced him out. That’s not just wrong—it sets an extremely dangerous precedent. Right now,.

Juneteenth marks the day when freedom finally reached the last enslaved African Americans in 1865, a delayed justice that still echoes today. As the sponsor of the bill that made Juneteenth an official holiday in Virginia, I'm proud that we now recognize this day for what it.

I am heartbroken by the horrific and targeted murder of Minnesota Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, and the attack on Senator John Hoffman and his wife. Political violence has no place in our country. We must reject hate and lower the temperature, now. My heart is with.

Medicaid is a lifeline for 1.5 million Virginians. But Republicans want to rip it away from 260,000 of those recipients and potentially reverse Medicaid expansion. We can’t let them. Every Virginian deserves affordable access to care. That’s why we are fighting to protect it.

Jerrauld Jones committed his life to service. A faithful partner to Lyn, model father to Jay, a brilliant legal mind, the first Black law clerk to the Virginia Supreme Court, a state Delegate, chair of the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus, and a distinguished judge — his impact

But the GOP wants to unravel that progress. Trump’s budget would cause over 250,000 Virginians to lose coverage. It’s unacceptable. That’s why we must elect @SpanbergerForVA & expand our majority in the House of Delegates, so every Virginian has access to affordable healthcare.

Seven years ago today, Gov. Northam signed Medicaid expansion into law — a historic step that transformed healthcare in Virginia. As someone who fought hard for its passage, I’m incredibly proud of its impact: 630,000 more Virginians now have healthcare coverage.
