Personal account of a former dishwasher, 🏀 player & businessman. Gov of VA, working to make the Commonwealth the best place to live, work and raise a family.
Virginia stands with Texas.
@GregAbbott_TX
is doing the job Joe Biden and his border czar refuse to do to secure our border.
The Biden administration has turned every state into a border state. We must stop the flow of fentanyl, save lives, and secure our southern border.
THANK YOU, VIRGINIA!
It’s a new day in the Commonwealth, and I am profoundly humbled by the trust placed on me.
We are going to get to work on Day One to ensure that Virginians soar and never settle.
Virginia created history today. Lt. Governor Winsome Sears presided over the Senate as the first black woman to do so in Virginia’s history.
I am honored to have a strong, courageous, and bold leader by my side
@WinsomeSears

On Inauguration Day, the most diverse leadership in Commonwealth history stood together in prayer. Today, we sent a message to all Virginians that our Commonwealth is big enough for all of our hopes and dreams.
As we arrived in Richmond this afternoon, Suzanne and I reflected on the incredible journey that we’ve been on for past 10 months. We are thankful for the amazing Virginians that we’ve met along the way, and we can’t wait to get to work!
A stunning move by the DOJ and FBI.
This same DOJ labeled parents in Loudoun County as terrorists and failed to enforce federal law to protect Justices in their homes. Selective, politically motivated actions have no place in our democracy.
We've been traveling all over this great Commonwealth, and Virginians are coming together like never before. Day

Bus Tour was INCREDIBLE. Let's go, Virginia!
It is beyond belief that District Attorney Alvin Bragg has indicted a former President and current presidential candidate for pure political gain. Arresting a presidential candidate on a manufactured basis should not happen in America.
Thank you, LOUDOUN COUNTY, for showing up in full force tonight! We are going to WIN. Tomorrow, we will stand up together and get this done for our children, for one another, and for Virginia’s future. GO VOTE!
#WinWithGlenn
The bus is fueled up and ready to go, Virginia!
Fuel prices are on the rise, and Virginians are feeling pain at the pump. On Day One, I’ll suspend the gas tax so whether you’re driving a bus, car, truck, or motorcycle, you’ll save your hard-earned money!
Virginia, I am honored to serve you as the 74th Governor of this great Commonwealth.
I will work every day to strengthen the spirit of Virginia, and renew the promise of our people.
Reagan once said, “simple fairness dictates that government must not raise taxes on families struggling to pay their bills,” that is why I am for raising the standard deduction, stopping the gas tax increase, and eliminating the grocery tax.
Tomorrow is Election Day, and tomorrow we are going to bring a new day to the Commonwealth of Virginia. RICHMOND is ready for a new governor! Make a plan to head to the polls and VOTE!
Virginians are standing up for the values that we hold dear. We are standing up for our families and for the future of our Commonwealth and our Country. Polls don’t win elections - votes do. GO VOTE TODAY!
This is a defining moment for the future of our Commonwealth. On Tuesday, November 2nd, we are going to make a statement that is heard around the world. Thank you, Fairfax County, for coming out in full force tonight to join our MOVEMENT. 🇺🇸
What a homecoming! 2,056 Virginians gathered in Virginia Beach tonight to join our movement, and it was AMAZING. The momentum is with us, Virginia. GO VOTE tomorrow! 🗳️🇺🇸
I received my COVID-19 booster vaccine this morning. It’s YOUR decision, but I encourage every Virginian to join me. Together, we can help keep our communities safe.
On Saturday night, an unauthorized tweet came from a campaign account. I regret that this happened and it shouldn’t have. I have addressed it with my team. We must continue to work to bring Virginians together. There is so much more that unites us than divides us.
Terry McAuliffe is now claiming he's being taken "out of context" -- can you believe this guy?
Here are 7 times he confirmed he thinks parents should have no say in their child's education. It's on tape!
Virginians elected us to reinvigorate Virginia. They chose a new vision and new leaders to make that vision a reality. Last night I spoke with you about the work that needs to get done, and I look forward to serving Virginians together.
Today I called for an immediate investigation into the Loudoun County School Board for endangering our students and violating the Virginia Constitution. When I’m governor, we’re going to take immediate action in regards to our kids’ safety. Our kids cannot wait.
When I'm governor, safety in schools will be my first priority. Every school will be required to have school resource officers on its campus, and schools will be mandated to report crimes to local law enforcement - no more coverups or keeping parents in the dark.
These charges are unprecedented and it’s a sad day for our country, especially in light of what clearly appears to be a two-tiered justice system where some are selectively prosecuted, and others are not. Parents in Virginia know firsthand what it’s like to be targeted by…
Grabbed Election Day lunch with my son Grant at Chesapeake Bagel Bakery. Today is the last day to vote, make sure you and your family get to the polls!
It's time to get to work, Virginia! We are assembling the strongest team in Virginia's history, made up of individuals from across the Commonwealth to go to work for the people of Virginia. If you are interested in being a part of our team, apply today.
This morning, Terry McAuliffe claimed the 2018 election in Georgia was stolen from Stacey Abrams.
"They took the votes away," he said, one day after saying this kind of talk is "running down our democracy."
The people of Virginia elected the most diverse leadership in Commonwealth history and we are ready to serve.
We are filled with hope and optimism for the years ahead because the future of Virginia belongs to us.
Today is the start of a new Virginia!
It’s time for Virginia to be the place where everyone wants to live, not leave. Friends, we are going to start that transformation on Day One, TOGETHER.
Glenn Youngkin: "I believe parents should be in charge of their kids' education."
Terry McAuliffe: "I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach."

The Kremlin is celebrating this decision. American natural gas is the cleanest in the world, can displace foreign coal from China, and ensures our allies aren’t relying on Russia for natural gas.
America should be accelerating LNG exports, not pausing them.
My Administration is pausing pending decisions on new Liquefied Natural Gas exports.
During the pause, we'll take a hard look at the impacts of exports on costs, energy security, and climate change – the existential threat of our time.
We're committed to getting this right.
Had a wonderful time with Suzanne walking in the footsteps of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, & Monroe while touring the Capitol Grounds. Those who made this Commonwealth great inspire me to rebuild Virginia as the best place to live, work, and raise a family. Let's get to work!
In Fairfax, Terry McAuliffe's team is trying to drown out the voices of concerned parents in our ad about McAuliffe's comments saying parents should have no say in their child's education.
My message to parents: we still hear you! You matter.

I was honored to join LG-Elect
@WinsomeSears
today to celebrate the Marine Corps' 246th Birthday at the National Museum of the Marine Corps. Our veterans play a vital role in the future of Virginia, and I look forward to going to work for them on Day One.
I want to thank
@GovernorVA
and
@FirstLadyVA
for welcoming Suzanne and me with open arms this afternoon. We have a lot of work to do on Day One, and their kindness and hospitality through this transition process is greatly appreciated.
I am disappointed that the Supreme Court declined to review Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology’s admissions policy that penalizes high-performing students in the name of equity. This nation was built on the idea of building a better future through hard work…
What's it like to have Terry McAuliffe block you from having a say in your child's education?
This mom knows – she lived through it. Watch her powerful story.

We need an immediate investigation into the Loudoun County School Board for their gross negligence.
They had a duty of care and they failed. They not only covered up a heinous crime, they enabled an offender being prosecuted of sexual assault to attack again.
Superintendent emails school board about sexual assault on May 28. At the June 22 board meeting, Ziegler said “we don’t have any record of assaults occurring in our restrooms." Parents who knew better became angry and so the board went after the parents. Nuts.
Joe Biden doesn’t understand that the Chinese Communist Party has one goal: global dominance at the expense of the United States. We must be strong and swift, not weak and slow when taking them on.
Two years into the pandemic, our understanding of COVID-19 has changed. It is encouraging to see Delaware, New Jersey, and Connecticut look for ways to return to normal. Our kids deserve the chance to be kids again.
I'm so grateful for Emily's support. She's a lifelong Democrat who voted for Terry McAuliffe 8 years ago, but believes in our positive vision for Virginia. She's 100% right, it does include everyone. That's why so many Democrats, Independents, and Republicans are with us!
#VAgov
The vaccine is a critical tool in the fight against COVID-19, but we strongly believe that the Federal government cannot impose its will and restrict the freedoms of Americans. VA is at its best when her people can make the best decisions for themselves.
Terry McAuliffe was asked a simple question: "If you win, how are you going to work with those parents who have concerns about how things are being taught in schools?"
His answer says it all.
#VAgov
This is a defining moment for Virginia, for our future. This is our chance to change the trajectory, not just for our Commonwealth, but for America. Let’s WIN!
Briana is a mom who is concerned about what is happening in our schools.
She usually votes Democrat, but this year she's part of our movement. I'm grateful to have her support.

Bob Dole loved our Nation and committed his life to public service. Suzanne and I offer Elizabeth and Robin our prayers and support in this time of grieving. God bless Bob Dole.
Today, I announced Sheriff Bob Mosier as the next Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security. On Day One, we will get to work on fully funding and raising pay for our law enforcement officers, protecting qualified immunity, & firing the Parole Board to keep Virginians safe.
It’s unbelievable that President Biden has been to Ukraine, now he’s coming to Virginia but he has yet to go to Ohio, where Americans need support and help.
This is a moment for leaders to lead.
Let’s rise above the rhetoric, rise above the division, and enable the dreams and pursuits of the next generation by securing safety and excellence in our schools.
I won’t rest until it is done.

Wishing all of my Indian American friends a happy Diwali and a prosperous new year! May the warmth and brightness of the Diwali lights shine on each of you all year.
During International Pizza Week our team is checking out all the local spots in Richmond. Where is your favorite pizza from in Virginia? Tell us where to check out next ⬇️
Happy Veterans Day to the men and women in Virginia and around our great Nation who have served in our military. We would not be the land of the free and home of the brave without your dedication and sacrifice. THANK YOU, VETS! 🇺🇸
Our family is giving thanks to the people of Virginia for entrusting us to go to work for them. We will be asking God for the wisdom & humility to serve as we seek to strengthen the spirit of Virginia TOGETHER. Suzanne & I wish you & your families a safe & blessed Thanksgiving!
QUITE THE CONTRAST: The private Christian university held a massive gathering on campus that went widely unnoticed as there were no arrests and no anti-Israel sentiments. Instead, the massive crowd joined together to pray, worship and read the Bible.
Hello Fluvanna County! These folks are fired up. Incredible meeting all of you today and hearing how ready you are to turn Virginia around. Let’s do this together!
#WinWithGlenn
Honored to join the Virginia Sheriff’s Association this evening. During my administration we will fully fund our police, protect qualified immunity, and stand with our law enforcement.
From Lee County to Loudoun County, supporters are showing up! Incredible to be in Lee County this afternoon to see how fired-up the folks in Southwest are for a governor who will stand up for law enforcement and our families. On Day One, we will go to work for all Virginians!
It’s incredible what Virginians can do when we come together in service.
Yesterday’s Spirit of Service event was just the first step of many.
As your governor, I am committed to serving ALL Virginians.
Happy Birthday Lieutenant Governor
@WinsomeSears

Thank you for your service to our nation and your continued commitment to serving Virginians. You are an inspiration to me every day.
This Halloween, Scary Terry only has tricks for Virginia – no treats! Terry McAuliffe’s economic proposal will cost Virginia families $5,400. On Day One, I will cut taxes, SAVING families nearly $1,500.
#WinWithGlenn
Today is your last shot to cast your vote and bring a new day to the Commonwealth of Virginia. We stopped in Chantilly at the Rocky Run Middle School voting location to say hi to voters and shoot some hoops! Find 10 of your friends and head to the polls.
#10forGlenn
I am prepared to lead, excited to serve and profoundly humbled by the trust the people have placed in me. Virginians have made it clear that they are ready for a political outsider with proven business experience to bring real change in Richmond.
President Biden's CMS mandate ignores the hospital systems' long-established policies designed to keep staff & patients safe. It threatens the tenure of essential medical personnel when staffing shortages threaten the health & safety of Virginians.
