Oh but it SO DOES! Reason for shutdown is over the cost of healthcare which will SKY ROCKET soon, if we dont get ACA subsidies back. Abigail being a Democrat, will agitate in her own way for same.

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.

Team Spanberger brought the energy in Loudoun County this afternoon to knock doors with Governor @andybeshearky.bsky.social, @deldavidreid.bsky.social, and Delegate Kannan Srinivasan. 
27 days to go until Election Day — let’s do this, Virginia.

Even as Trump threatens to use the government shutdown to fire even more Virginians, Winsome Earle-Sears is sticking by his side.

Virginia needs a Governor who will put our economy first — not their political agenda.

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.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

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.

The cost of living has been a problem in New Jersey for a long time. But these days, it feels worse, and the massive increase in energy costs is a big reason why.

I’m going to declare a State of Emergency on Day One to end the rate hikes and drive in new energy to grow supply and lower costs.

El primer día de mi administración, declararé un Estado de Emergencia para acabar los aumentos de tarifas e impulsar nuevos fondos de energía para aumentar la oferta y reducir los costos.

El costo de vida en Nueva Jersey ha sido demasiado alto por un rato. Pero en este momento, se siente peor, y el aumento en los precios de energía es una gran parte del problema.

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.

May the memories of those lost be a blessing. I continue to pray for an immediate release of all hostages, an end to the war and famine and for a lasting peace in the region.

The beautiful installation, adorned with flags from 26 countries, was both moving and heartbreaking — a vivid reminder of the human toll of violence and the shared responsibility we all carry to build a more peaceful world.

This evening, I stopped by Livingston and stood with the community and council to pay my respects to the more than 1,200 innocent lives lost in the horrific attacks that took place two years ago in Israel.

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.
