Big sign of Democratic enthusiasm: The 2025 Virginia LG primary vote total has surpassed the 2021 LG vote total (481,365) -- despite the fact that there is no Gov primary to drive turnout this year.

We're 139 days out from Election Day. Turnout in the 2025 LG primary beat turnout in the 2021 LG primary, when voters were also choosing their candidate for Gov. An amazing stat. Onward to Nov & victories for Abigail Spanberger, Senator Hashmi, Jay Jones, and our House majority.

Proudly endorsed by GIFFORDS For two years, I’ve carried legislation to prohibit firearms & dangerous weapons in hospitals. Health systems in Virginia want the bill — but it was vetoed twice. Looking forward to passing the bill & planning a signing celebration in 2026!

A timely reminder: Virginia has no law or standards to protect workers from extreme heat. We should change that. Others states have already put in place commonsense safeguards — usually a mix of rest / water / shade — to keep workers safe during scorching heat.

Yesterday, on the 3 year anniversary of the Dobbs decision, I hit the road to join a repro rights rally in Charlottesville organized by Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia. It was great to be with our next Gov, Abigail Spanberger, and candidates who will expand our majority in the House of Delegates!

At a time when affordability is top of mind, I’m proud to have led the charge on the Cash Now Act, which is already returning millions of dollars worth of unclaimed property back to Virginia families.

Hidden “Junk” Fees BANNED in Virginia—starting TODAY! Thanks to Virginia Democrats, what you see is what you pay—no surprises, no hidden costs. This means more money stays in the pockets of hardworking Virginians and it’s a major win for consumers across the Commonwealth!

The US Senate bill is a monstrosity. 16 million Americans risk losing health coverage, including 300K in Virginia; millions more will lose help paying for food; trillions will be added to the deficit. And for what? Tax breaks for the wealthy. nytimes.com/2025/07/01/bri…

Kiggans unironically says “it’s going to be a privilege to vote for this bill” that jeopardizes access to health coverage for 300,000 people in Virginia. The bill is a monstrosity.

Here’s some fun news! Proud to share that I was nominated & chosen as a 2025 States Project Fellow, a leadership development program convening a small group of state legislators from across the US. I’m headed to Philly to listen, learn, & bring back good ideas for Norfolk & VA!

Economic chaos in DC is hurting VA: “The diminished ranking…reflects the vulnerability of the state's economy to cuts in federal spending & employment by Trump, as well as the effects of the president's aggressive use of tariffs on trade coming through the Port of VA.”
