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.

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.
