Tomorrow night when I take the debate stage, I’ll carry with me the stories, hopes, and concerns you’ve shared with me on the campaign trail.

You’ll hear me talk about the issues that matter most — affordability, schools, safety — and putting Virginia first.

Too many Virginia families are struggling to afford the care and prescriptions they need to survive.

As Governor, I’ll lower healthcare costs, work to end price gouging, and give Virginians the flexibility to use the pharmacy of their choosing.

Virginia, you deserve a Governor who will focus on the issues that matter most.

Lowering costs for you and your family will be my top priority.

I hear it everywhere — parents across Virginia are struggling to find and afford child care.

As Governor, I’ll work to bring down child care costs to give parents more breathing room and help set our kids up for success.

My opponent has been repeatedly caught hiding things from the Virginians she represents — with no real explanation.

Virginians should be able to trust their leaders. They deserve transparency. That's not what they're getting from Winsome Earle-Sears.

Financial disclosure gaps, questionable gifts cloud Earle-Sears’ bid for governor • Virginia Mercury

I hear from Virginians everywhere — Republicans, Democrats, and Independents — that their #1 concern is rising costs.

That’s why affordability is my top priority. As Governor, I’ll get to work on Day One to enact my Affordable Virginia Plan and lower Virginians’ costs.

Virginia will always be home. It’s where I went to school, where I met my husband, and where we’re raising our three daughters in Virginia public schools.

I love this Commonwealth — and as Governor, I’ll work tirelessly to lower costs and make life easier for Virginia families.

Wherever I go, I meet Virginians who tell me they’re concerned about costs — from healthcare, to housing, to energy.

They want their next Governor to focus on affordability. That’s why lowering costs is my #1 priority.

Trump has spent all year attacking Virginia’s economy and workforce.

Now, he’s threatening to use the government shutdown to fire even more Virginians — and Winsome Earle-Sears still refuses to stand up to the President.

Virginians deserve better.

Virginia is the last line of defense for reproductive rights in the South — and women in Virginia deserve to know that it will stay that way.

My position is clear: as Governor, I will always protect reproductive freedom in Virginia.

Across Virginia, I hear from families who are struggling to afford a home.

This is a nationwide crisis — but Virginia can be a leader in solving it.

As Governor, I’ll work with communities to find solutions that work for them while lowering housing costs across Virginia.

Donald Trump is using his government shutdown to wreak havoc on Virginians — whether it's firing them or withholding pay.

We will win in November — and come January, we will finally have a Governor who will stand up to this chaos.

SCOOP: Furloughed federal workers aren't guaranteed compensation for their forced time off during the government shutdown, according to a draft White House memo described to Axios by three sources.

Scoop: White House memo says furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to backpay

A move to deny backpay to up to 750,000 furloughed workers would dramatically escalate Trump's pressure on Democrats to end the shutdown.

The international community must focus on ending the war, freeing the hostages, and supporting a lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians. (2/2)

It has been two years since Hamas brutally attacked Israel and in the two years since, the war in Gaza has been devastating beyond words. Families have been shattered. The humanitarian crisis is profound and hostages remain in captivity. (1/2)

From Abingdon to Arlington and everywhere in between, wherever I go, I hear from Virginians who are worried about rising costs.

These conversations are meaningful — and they’re why lowering costs is my top priority.

Under the Trump-Sears economy, Virginia has suffered — we even lost our rank as CNBC’s “Top State for Business.”

I’m prepared to invest in and grow our economy. As Governor, I’ll work to lower costs, create jobs, and reclaim our #1 spot.

Between Trump's tax law and the government shutdown, Virginians' rural hospitals are taking a massive hit — yet my opponent still refuses to stand up for Virginians' healthcare.

Virginians deserve better.

My dad was a federal law enforcement officer — and I was proud to follow in his footsteps.

I’ve spent my entire career working to keep our communities safe. That’s what I’ll continue to do as Governor.

Virginians are tired of the chaos coming out of Washington. They're ready to turn the page — and I'm ready to put Virginia first as your next Governor.

Can Abigail Spanberger Make Politics Boring Again?

In an era of bombast and spectacle, Virginia’s Democratic nominee for governor doesn’t go viral, doesn’t do stunts, and promises competence instead of chaos. So far, it’s working for her.

I spoke with Delegate King last night and offered our prayers. No parent should ever have to experience the loss of their child, and I’m thinking of the King family during this difficult time.

Last weekend, I had the honor of delivering the Keynote Address at Hampton University.

Meeting students across Virginia gives me hope. It’s our responsibility to make sure Virginia is a place they can succeed in bettering our Commonwealth.
