I know how important it is to have the right team by your side when tackling challenges head-on and delivering real results.

I’m proud to endorse the team we need fighting for the Seventh District in Richmond.

I appreciate you! I can tell you - me and a few of my colleagues are arguing over who’s carrying the bill next session. If we pass it - let’s see what happens 😏…. Solidarity forever!

Thanks to my friend Harriet for pointing out that the women went to Christ's tomb and saw he was not there, the angels showed up to describe what happened, & the women then told the apostles, who dismissed them. A Biblical account of women not being believed.

Jason Miyares has had every chance to stand up for Virginia families—but time and again, he has chosen not to. I wrote about why that matters, and what I’d do differently as Attorney General.

Our hearts our devastated and we mourn with our community.

The news of last night's shooting is devastating.
We are heartbroken for the families and community impacted by this senseless tragedy. No one should have to live in fear of gun violence.
We're grateful to the Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office and local schools for their swift response.
But thoughts and prayers are not enough - we need to work to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and protect our communities from gun violence.

Let’s not talk about how amendments were made - and bill Patrons weren’t called…. 😒

VAPLAN @vaplan.bsky.social · Mar 25

I have to say, this governor is FOUR YEARS INTO THE JOB, and STILL making countless sloppy mistakes in his vetoes and amendments. You'd think he'd have gotten the hang of it by now, as much practice as he has.

In our commitment to support working folks - this was number one on my radar! Let’s get folks in these jobs!

It went under the radar this session but @jcole4va.bsky.social and I passed legislation codifying Gov. Youngkin's EO this session.

If you’re qualified for the job you should be able to work it. We shouldn’t make a college degree a barrier for working for Virginia.

Virginia Gov. Youngkin scraps degree requirement for most state jobs

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) has scrapped college degree requirements for 90 percent of state government jobs.
