Trump and MAGA can keep their chaos off our campuses; I remember how Trump University ended up đź‘€. Virginia has world class, nationally ranked, public universities. We are going to keep it that way with leaders focused on our success, not political pandering.

Scott: She said she wants to fire people because they’re gay—and she interrupts to say, “Excuse me, that’s not discrimination.” She says it two or three times. I’ve never seen anything like that in my life… She’s running with someone on her ticket who happens to be gay. I guess

Also proud to announce my endorsement by the Virginia Farm Bureau Association. Finding ways we can work together to give farmers new economic opportunity, gain sustainability (both in food and energy production) and have a healthier world works for me.

The field is supercharged and new technology is paving the way for all sort of farm applications. Apples and wine grapes are two crops with particular success…. a ➕ for Albemarle!

There are moments that make us hug our little ones a little tighter. This election season has been rough, but tonight, I’m asking we all put down our swords and say a prayer. @CandiMundonKing , a colleague I’ve battled with many times, lost her daughter this weekend. She was a

NEW: Department of Education employees furloughed this week discovered their email accounts had been manipulated while they were out of office to include partisan talking points that blamed a government shutdown on Democrats, according to five employees who spoke with NBC News.

I plan to bring back my bill with Creigh Deeds to give law enforcement the tools they need, and have requested, to respond to guns on campus.

Right now guns are not allowed on campuses, but it’s an administrative rule…leaving police with little recourse to quickly investigate or remove guns on campuses. Guns are in the same category as a banned microwave or hot pot.

I attended this game with my boys. The tragedy still resonates. The terror the victims, teammates, and families experienced is on some levels unfathomable. There are real things that can be done to improve safety. https://t.co/scJ7Lvn6Og
