“They’ve repeatedly tried to pass legislation to ban abortion in every legislative session over the past several years. The fundamental freedom to make your own healthcare decisions is at stake in this year’s elections.”

With North and South Carolina lawmakers working to restrict abortion, Democrats in the Virginia State Senate say voters need to be aware of the issues.

Gun violence plagues our community and country. It was inspiring to see so many folks in #rva come out to hear stories from survivors and to hear about how they can help end gun violence. Together, we can make change.

🤝Follow and share our efforts: We're supporting key candidates in Virginia to take BACK the House of Delegates and expand Dem power in the state Senate. Virginia is one of the last remaining states in the South with broad access to abortion. We're ready to fight.

Gov. Glenn Youngkin has promised to push for a 15-week abortion ban if Republicans take the General Assembly in November. Dems lost the majority in the House by *just* 733 votes. When we say every vote, every call, every dollar counts - we mean it. Here's how you can support🧵

In 2020/21 @vademocrats expanded access to the ballot and tightened up election processes. I chaired the Elections subcommittee and carried multiple pieces of legislation. The GOP said they would lead to fraud. They didn’t. Now they ARE making our elections less secure. And why?
It’s hard to explain how disappointing this is. It makes VA elections less secure. ERIC has been a bipartisan success. An Iowa GOP official said, “ERIC is a godsend.” This is playing footsie w/ MAGA conspiracies. It’s bad governance and dangerous politics. https://t.co/qDdzD8FwWt

We MUST protect and take back Democratic legislative majorities in Virginia.
Virginia will become the only place in the South where abortion access & reproductive freedom are protected. The news in our neighboring state of North Carolina underscores how willing and eager Republicans are to take away fundamental rights. https://t.co/OArmXYQn3G

I've spent months reminding voters of the importance of their votes & assuring them that EVERY SINGLE VOTE MATTERS. Now that the count has officially turned in our favor, it is my great honor to step forward as the next State Representative of Pennsylvania’s 151st House District.

BREAKING: Democrats just FLIPPED the Pennsylvania House for the first time in over a decade! This is the FOURTH state legislative chamber that Democrats have flipped blue! The GOP just got a taste of what a motivated electorate looks like when voting on fair maps.

.@Sister_District wins ANOTHER chamber for Democrats!!!! Huge thanks to all the phonebankers who came to our phonebank with @Sis_District_NY
With all the conspiracy theorists, election deniers, and insurrectionists on the ballot in Pennsylvania, it is not an exaggeration that this victory may have literally saved democracy in the commonwealth.

THIRTY-ONE VOTES!!!
BREAKING: Democrats are now up 31 votes after the first count of provisional votes in PA HD-151, which Democrats need to win the PA House. They were down 14 votes before. Note: there will be a special election in a D-won district next year due to the death of the winner of HD-35
