Ending the death penalty in Virginia was one of my proudest accomplishments. Today, in my last full day in office, we've moved the old electric chair, execution gurney, and other instruments of death out of state control and into the @VirginiaMuseum—where they belong.

You put your trust in me to lead our Commonwealth as the 73rd Governor. And I promised to make the best decisions I could for you. Every day of the past four years, my team and I have tried to live up to that trust. And every day I've felt so proud and grateful for you. #VASOTC.

I hope the spirit of helping other people continues to prevail. I hope we’ll continue to be people who want to serve the world, rather than conquer it. People who sow kindness and hope, rather than anger and fear. #VASOTC.

Are we going to keep up this progress? Or will we retreat, become people who are more worried about ourselves than each other?. I hope we will not. #VASOTC.

At every turn, we’ve looked for ways to help people. We are leaving you with a Virginia that treats people right, helps neighbors when they need it, rectifies past wrongs, and helps everyone have the opportunity to thrive. #VASOTC.

Four years ago, I stood here, in this room, on this dais, in front of many of you. I told you where I wanted to take Virginia. And I asked you to work with me to get us there. #VASOTC.

One in 12 Virginians is a military veteran. I’m one of them. In the past four years, we’ve promoted the V3 program to hire more veterans and taken a number of steps to help ease the transition to civilian life. I hope we continue to care for veterans as they deserve. #VASOTC.

I was born and raised on the Eastern Shore. And one of my goals as governor was to put more focus on the needs of rural Virginia. Too often, rural communities feel left behind. I've made rural Virginia a priority. #VASOTC.

In just four years, we’ve moved broadband investments from $4 million a year, to $2 billion. We’re on track to have universal broadband on its way to every community by 2024—far faster than expected, and faster than most other states. #VASOTC.

As the nation’s only doctor-governor, I'm proud of how Virginia has handled this pandemic. We've followed the science to keep Virginians safe and healthy. We've seen fewer cases and fewer deaths than many of our neighbors. Nearly 90% of adults have had at least 1 shot. #VASOTC.

Our elections are fair and transparent. It does tremendous damage when elected officials use false claims to undermine faith in our elections. Voters deserve better, and our elected officials need to do better, and not perpetuate anyone’s big lie. #VASOTC.
