Our one-seat House of Delegates majority protects Virginians from MAGA bills banning abortion, gutting gun safety regulation, and the rest of the Trump / Musk agenda. Here are the 17 candidates I am proud to endorse to protect and grow our majority for all Virginians. 1/6

Proud to share that we have been endorsed by Vote Pro-Choice. Virginians deserve leaders who will always defend their right to make their own reproductive care decisions—and that’s exactly what’s on the line this November.

Enjoyed speaking to our community at the @fairfaxdemocrats.bsky.social Working Families Town Hall. We are excited to keep fighting for solutions that make life more affordable for Virginians.

Appreciated kicking off a canvass in my district with the Burke-Fairfax chapter of Moms Demand Action. Together, we’re committed to preventing gun violence and protecting the future our kids deserve.

Wishing a blessed Yom Kippur to all who celebrate.

Hundreds of thousands of Virginians are going to see their healthcare costs rise. That's a reason for action. Instead, MAGA shut down the government. That's why we need new representation at every level. Make your voice heard today through November 4th. iwillvote.com/va

Excited to share that we have been endorsed by the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation AgPAC. Agriculture is a critical industry in Virginia, and I look forward to continuing my work supporting farmers across the Commonwealth.

Great to be out knocking doors with Michael Feggans in Virginia Beach. Delegate Feggans flipped a seat with his election in 2023, and I am excited to see him reelected so we can get back to work serving Virginians.

In case there was any doubt, antisemitism is alive and well in MAGA world.

Proud to share that we have been endorsed by the Virginia Democratic Veterans and Military Families Caucus. As a veteran myself, I understand the commitment and sacrifice made by our servicemembers and am honored to continue supporting them.
