Virginia, it’s Small Business Saturday! Today is a great day to shop at one of our Commonwealth’s many amazing small businesses. Virginia’s small businesses are the hearts of our local economies. As Governor, I will work tirelessly to support them.

I am heartbroken over the passing of U.S. Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, who was senselessly murdered just before the holidays. Adam and I are praying for her family, friends, and loved ones as they face this incomprehensible loss — and we continue to pray for the full recovery of

I am horrified to hear that two National Guardsmen were shot this afternoon in Washington D.C. I’m grateful for law enforcement’s quick response — Adam and I are praying that the guardsmen make a full recovery as we await further information on their condition.

On the campaign trail, I heard from Virginians in every corner of the Commonwealth who are working harder than ever yet are still struggling with rising costs. Come January, my Administration will get to work on Day One to lower costs and build a more affordable Virginia.

Today, we remember the six victims who were murdered three years ago at a Walmart in Chesapeake, VA. Adam and I are thinking of their families, the survivors, and the entire Chesapeake community. Virginians shouldn’t live in fear of gun violence — and as Governor, I will work

I had a great time in Roanoke last night visiting some of our amazing campaign volunteers and staff! Every phone call made, door knocked, and dollar donated helped make our huge victory possible, and I am so thankful to everyone who played even a small role in our campaign.

Trump’s tax law is going to devastate Virginia — and it’s already devastating our rural clinics. As Governor, l will stand up for Virginians’ healthcare — and work to make sure we get the dollars we deserve.

In Congress, I worked with Democrats AND Republicans to get my Social Security Fairness Act signed into law. Now, millions of retired public servants receive the benefits they had been denied for 40 years. That’s the bipartisan leadership I will bring to Richmond on Day One.

The Trump Administration launched a direct attack on @UVA — and on academic freedom. It’s time Virginians have a Governor who stands up for our students.

It was great to join @DelegateTorian and the Virginia House Appropriations Committee at GMU today. As Governor, I look forward to working with the General Assembly to pass a balanced budget that invests in our communities and makes life more affordable for Virginians.
