We are starting our plans on how we will balance the budget while dealing with this self inflicted Trump-Youngkin recession in Virginia. Thank you to all Senators, staff, media and others who have joined us in Radford this week.
Senators are getting an update on the effects of HR1 (the so-called Big Beautiful one). https://t.co/BUwR7L631m As things stand now, SNAP'll cost $360 mil/year. If Virginia more efficiently issues snap payments it could be as low as $90 million

Throughout my career — and throughout this campaign — I have always put Virginians first. As Governor, I will do the same thing.

I’m relieved to hear @winwithwinsome and her team are safe after her campaign bus caught on fire this afternoon. I’m grateful to our first responders for their quick action — and I’m thinking of the Lt. Governor and her team after this scary incident.

Today, as I celebrate 10 years as a member of the Virginia General Assembly, I am thankful for all the folks in Richmond, Henrico, Charles City, and Hanover. It still continues to be an honor to serve!

Today, I donated $3 million in contributions to grow our Democratic majority in the House. If you care about our rights, our economy, and our Commonwealth—get involved. If you can’t give, volunteer. Let’s get to work:

Virginia lost its #1 "State for Business" ranking today — thanks to Trump’s attacks on our federal workers. Virginians deserve a Governor who will stand up to this chaos. My opponent is not that leader.

It is time we had a Governor who will improve our public schools, keep Virginia affordable and protect the progress we have worked so hard for. I am endorsing Abigail Spanberger because she is the candidate who will fight alongside us and deliver for all Virginians.

Thank you @SenBagby & @Lopez4VA for your bills to protect the jobs of hard-working Virginians. It’s time for the Governor to sign them into law. #WorkerRetention #UnionsForAll

Since I launched my race for Chair, it’s been an honor to receive the support of dozens of Central Committee members across Virginia. I look forward to engaging with more grassroots leaders as I crisscross the Commonwealth in the coming weeks.

I’m so grateful to have the endorsement of Madame President, @SenLouiseLucas, for DPVA chair. Senator Lucas knows first hand what it takes for Virginia Democrats to fight an extreme administration and win. Having her support is truly an honor.

I’m so grateful for Labor leaders like Doris Crouse-Mays, who has spent her life fighting for working families in our Commonwealth. As Chair, I look forward to working with her to continue to deliver for working Virginians.

Proud to have @royermattw’s support in my race for @vademocrats Chair. As President of @VAYD , Matt has strengthened relationships with DPVA and has fought to elect Democrats across the Commonwealth. I look forward to working with him as Chair.

Reporters want to cover stories about who is fighting with who because it gets more readers than what we are fighting for together. Better school funding. Great jobs in our communities. A cleaner environment. Public Safety. We will never let anyone distract us.
