Good morning from Afton Mountain

Excellent display at the debate tonight by Attorney General @JasonMiyaresVA of the civility and integrity that Virginians expect. He was also 100% right about fmr Del Jay Jones voting for the monopoly written VCEA that is terrible for ratepayers.

Thank you Montgomery Farm Bureau and Montgomery County Future Farmers of America for a great meal and conversations on important agriculture issues!

Thank you to The Arc of NRV for hosting last night’s candidate forum in Christiansburg! We have made great progress with Governor @GlennYoungkin to finally fund the priority 1 waiver list and expand flexibility for families with disabilities yet important work remains.

Beautiful Salem afternoon for ODAC football! Roanoke College’s football winning streak finally came to an end in a tough one. Time to start the next one!

Enjoyed the amazing food, beautiful traditional dresses, and great live music at Local Colors’ Hispanic Heritage celebration in downtown Roanoke!

Former Delegate Jay Jones’ released messages wishing for the death of our colleague’s children is absolutely sickening… These young children and the nearly nine million diverse Virginians he claims to serve deserve far better than this cruelty.

Soon to be 98 year old Don Huffman voted curbside in Roanoke City today for Winsome Sears, John Reid, and Jason Miyares! It was an honor to drive a great Virginian to the polls. 🗳️ Find out where you can cast your ballot: https://t.co/faLkt5Mihl

From Accomac to Bristol to Centreville, John Reid is putting in the miles and answering the tough questions to be Virginia’s Lt. Governor. Great to be with him in Charlottesville with @VASenateGOP friends tonight.

All 19 Members of the Virginia Senate Republican Caucus have sent a letter to @MarkWarner & @timkaine urging them to pass a clean CR to stop a government shutdown. https://t.co/G6j358Vkow

Thank you @SenatorLocke & @_HamptonU for a truly amazing day as we made progress towards honoring Booker T Washington at Virginia’s Capitol. In addition to fruitful conversations, we saw so much amazing art and great pieces of American history!

Fun night with Suzanne Youngkin and Roanoke friends supporting @WinsomeSears on Mill Mountain! Thank you Drs Nancy and Kevin Dye for hosting!

Another week, another two NCAA TDs for Cave Spring’s @ocsweeney at @VMI1839. Scored on a 75 yard reception and then after a three hour lightning suspension, he scored on a 20 yard reception. 6 TDs in 4 weeks!

Cave Spring Homecoming Parade! LL got to cheer on the flag corps with her own mini flag and then we cheered on a Cave Spring football win!
