Hey folks…it’s the first day of early voting in Henrico county for the June 18th CD01 Democratic Primary between
@lesliemehtava
and
@herb4virginia
Thanks to our Chair and Vice-Chair for rocking up bright and early to the western govt. center to do their civic duty. Voters 5&6!
Youngkin's approval rating plunges 6 pts in 3 months.
Why? At least in part because more people are identifying as Democrats.
So his approval rating with Republicans is good. There just aren't as many Republicans as there used to be. Oh well.
As we struggle to fully comprehend this tragedy, our hearts break for those whose lives were lost today. Tonight, we grieve together for their classmates, our neighbors, and the whole Richmond community.

Today is a special day for a very special Henrico Representative. William “Fergie” Reid Sr was the first Black American elected to the Virginia Assembly since reconstruction. Today is his 98th birthday. Happy Birthday Sir, from all of us at the

“We, the members of the Virginia Association of Democratic Chairs, stand firmly behind the Democratic Party of Virginia
@vademocrats
in calling upon Lt. Governor
@WinsomeSears
to cancel her keynote at the
@NRA
conference. The time for political speeches is over; we need action.”
What an enormous loss for Henrico, for Virginia and for the nation. Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of our beloved Congressman, Donald McEachin. May his memory be a blessing and May He Rest In Peace.
Has
@GlennYoungkin
read the indictment? No, because its contents haven't been released.
.
@GovernorVA
undermines faith in institutional processes simply to win over the followers of a rival he knows is soon to fall.
Is this good leadership?
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.

I’m here at the Town Hall on Gun Safety at Freeman High School (beginning shortly c’mon over) and the contrast between the two candidates is obvious.

Henrico Dems has lost one of its own. Warren Lacy was an absolute stalwart. Fierce in his loyalty to the Democratic Party & his union, but always gentle and good-natured. We will miss him dearly.

🚨 Virginia Dems Could Lose Control Of 21-19 Senate Because Member May Have Lied About Residence
Sen Hashemi claimed she lived in an apartment in SD15 where she ran. Evidence suggests she lives at a home in SD12 which she concealed, making her ineligible

Congratulations,
@RachelAnneLevy
, for a stunningly well-run race. You carried our banner, raised the issues that needed to be raised, helped turn out the vote & and made many sacrifices to do it.
"Thank you" is hardly sufficient.
We object to Republican activists interfering in our primaries.
This behavior is inappropriate and demonstrates lack of respect for the democratic process.
