Yesterday, I spoke about the Governor's vetoes of commonsense gun violence prevention bills. The majority of Virginians support our bills to ensure safe storage & disarm violent abusers. Virginians demand action and we will continue fighting for them.

#TBT to my visit to Bishop Ireton High School's chapter of Rho Kappa, the only national honor society for high schoolers that recognizes excellence in the field of Social Studies. I enjoyed speaking with them about my work in the General Assembly and how they can get involved.

Today, I went to Richmond for the Heating and Cooling Building Code Study Group meeting where we discussed how to improve the Building Code to address residents' concerns around heating and cooling requirements. It was a fitting day to discuss air conditioning!

Gun violence is a daily crisis—from domestic violence to community violence to suicide. We need leaders who understand that & will fight to make us all safer. That’s why I proudly stand with @GIFFORDS_org and hope I can count on your vote this fall.

Wonderful to attend Girls State once again! The students asked great questions about the ins and outs of the GA, education, food insecurity and getting involved. One student told me I helped restore her faith in gov't, but they gave me renewed optimism too! Our future is bright.

I'm grateful to be endorsed by @RoeYourVoteVA! When we keep our House majority this fall, we'll send a constitutional amendment to protect all reproductive health care to the voters, so we can ensure Virginia is a permanent safe haven for abortion rights in the South.

Last week, I had the special opportunity of visiting @VirginiaABC's HQ and distribution center! I enjoyed hearing about their operations, products, and work to safe alcohol consumption. I also got to speak with Northern Virginia store managers and thank them for all they do.

I was proud to attend and speak at the #WearOrange Rally. Every gun death is preventable, and I know together, we can end gun violence. Special shoutout to the ACHS students with @StudentsDemand! Ruby's speech was inspiring and helped ground me in the importance of this work.

I'm excited that @SpanbergerForVA has included my proposal to preserve affordable housing in her housing agenda! My bill to address VA's critical housing crisis has been vetoed two years in a row by Gov. Youngkin and I can't wait to elect a Governor who will sign and champion it.

The cost of a mortgage or rent is just too high for many Virginians. No family should get priced out of their communities — which is why I have a plan to make Virginia more affordable.
