Great night at the Fox Hill Neighborhood Center for Delta Sigma Theta’s Meet the Candidates forum — with a noticeable absence. Constituents asked tough questions and received honest answers.

Working families deserve a working education system. That’s why I plan to fully-fund pre-K programs across Virginia, because every child deserves a Head Start.

On the campaign trail, I spoke with one constituent who sold her wedding ring and family heirlooms to pay for her husband’s medical bills. That’s why we must pass Abigail Spanberger’s Affordable Virginia Plan, so families aren’t pushed to the brink when someone falls ill.

Fulfilling and well-paying jobs are critical to achieving the American dream. That’s why as Delegate, I’ll work across the aisle to expand vocational training, apprenticeships, and dual-enrollment programs for young people.

Women in Virginia deserve to know that their reproductive rights are protected here. @winwithwinsome supports banning abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest. Virginia, hear me when I say — as Governor, I will always protect your reproductive freedom.

Our team had the pleasure of kicking off a canvassing event with Representative Gabby Giffords in Williamsburg this afternoon. @GabbyGiffords’ story of surviving gun violence reminds us that ‘We the People’ can build safer and more prosperous communities for our children.

Thank you for your service and your endorsement, Congressman. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the state legislature to ensure the American Dream you fought to protect is realized for all Virginians.
Virgil is a trusted advisor who will never back down from a fight. He has the experience and determination to fight for the 86th. I look forward to seeing Virgil do big things in Richmond – now let’s get out the vote for him this fall. @FriendsOfVirgil

My heart goes out to Mayor Gray and his family in this moment of deep loss. Dana's presence and light touched so many, and her memory will continue to live on in the hearts of all those who knew her. My thoughts and prayers are with the Gray family as they celebrate her life.
