I’m glad Gov. Youngkin is at least self aware abt his own lack of experience in govt. Literally 0️⃣ But he doesn’t seem to understand that running a govt is diff from running a biz. So let’s be very clear: VA is not “open” for privatization for the personal profit of your friends

I was humbled to partner with parents & advocates from across Virginia to call for revisions to the waiver program for families of children with developmental disabilities. Today, both of my bills HB908 & HB909 passed out of subcommittee on a bipartisan basis!🧵

Third times the charm!! After 3yrs of introducing consumer protections for our most vulnerable neighbors, I’m proud to share that HB906 just reported out of subcommittee. This bill will bring VA one step closer to utility disconnection protections during emergency situations.

We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to invest in our public education system. While Gov Youngkin would rather give $1BILLION in tax cuts to big corps & his wealthy friends, we are fighting to fully fund our schools & give students the world class education they deserve.

1. Fight like hell to enshrine the rights to bodily autonomy & a safe/legal abortion in our state constitution. Enshrinement or bust 💥 2. Mobilize, organize, & vote anti-choice MFs out 💙 3. Throw down with @GlennYoungkin on his proposed 15 week ban #FightForReproRights #LFG

Unsurprisingly, the GOP disagreed & voted down every single one of our amendments which would have ensured AAPI representation on the Commission & a complete & accurate (read: not whitewashed) portrayal of our community’s history in the United States.

On #InternationalSchoolMealsDay I want to uplift the work @pwcdanica & @mikemullin4VA did this session to ease the burden of student meal debt. No child should go hungry bc of financial hardship. I know we can find a way to ensure all students have access to nutritious meals.

I am so proud to see @LCPSOfficial pass #Policy8040 to affirm trans students’ identities and protect them from bullying + discrimination. All students deserve to feel safe, seen & valued in school. This is a huge win in the fight for full equality! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Utterly heartbroken knowing that the folx most impacted by this decision are those that institutions like SCOTUS perpetually further marginalize & harm. An abortion ban only bans safe abortions. #FightForReproRights

I've spent my career focused on making democracy more accessible and representative of everyone. Government exists to serve us, the people. I'm running for Delegate to make that happen for ALL Virginians.
