Folks don’t want their elected officials to be bought and paid for by big energy companies.
People want a leader who knows their struggles and always puts them first. Wanna share how high energy bills are impacting you and learn what we can do about it? www.cleanvirginia.org/act/town-hal...

My opponent just revealed he’s taken tens of thousands of dollars from utility companies—while those companies are raising our rates. Politicians should be accountable to their voters, not big corporations.

"I have five generations of my family here, and I understand what it’s like to struggle to make ends meet and how it matters whether or not your electric bill is $5 more, $5 less. That that can be the difference between making ends meet for the month." virginiaindependentnews.com/elections/ho...

Reproductive Freedom for All @reproductivefreedomforall.org · Jul 29

In 2023, @lilyfordelegate.bsky.social‬ came close to flipping this seat—and now she’s back to finish the job.

Her opponent voted against protecting abortion access in Virginia. We’re endorsing Lily because she’s the reproductive freedom champion we need in Richmond.

The VPFF does incredible work to champion our firefighters. It's an honor to have their support, and I'm looking forward to working with them and their members to ensure our firefighters have the resources they need to continue protecting our communities.

Thank you to everyone who donated to help folks affected by the Russell county floods, but we can’t rely on donations alone. As a legislator, one of my top priorities will be to ensure SWVA gets the funding it needs to fully fund disaster relief and resiliency efforts.

Our hearts go out to those impacted by the flash flood in Russell County.

My Blacksburg office will be collecting supplies for the relief efforts.

Please see this article for a list of the supplies needed.

As Sen. Tim Kaine said “All eyes are on Virginia.” And in 41, it’s not just our neighbors counting on us—it’s folks across the commonwealth. Thanks to the volunteers who are with us every weekend, and those who joined us for the first time today! We’re going to win because of YOU!

When I was a teacher, and growing up going to public school, I saw firsthand the struggles kids and families experienced. Wednesday we hosted a forum to discuss how we can improve our public education system. Thanks to everyone who participated and @reedgalen.bsky.social for moderating!

I’ve seen it firsthand— Abigail Spanberger shows up, listens, and delivers real solutions. When we knocked doors together in SWVA, she made sure our voices were heard. She’s the kind of leader Virginia needs right now—one who fights for all of us.

Check out her new ad!

Abigail Spanberger @abigailspanberger.com · May 29

Too many politicians talk when they should listen. I believe that public service is too important for political nonsense — and that's the approach I'll take as Virginia's next Governor.
