In this moment, we need leaders who will put people over profit, leaders who will reject corporate influence, and leaders who will fight for our neighbors daily, not just when there’s a photo opportunity. In House District 77, that person is @charlie4va.

Two more packets down on this brisk afternoon for Del. Debra Gardner, the best Democratic candidate for Senate District 15. It was a thrill to continue to elevate Debra’s work and share my intent to run for HD-76 when we get Debra over the finish line.

Having fought alongside SELC, Chesterfield NAACP, and Clean Virginia against Dominion Energy's proposed gas plant in Chesterfield, I'm disappointed that the State Corporation Commission has ruled in favor of Dominion. This fight is not over!

On this unusually warm Fall day, I spent some time knocking doors in Chesterfield for Del. Debra Gardner—a former social worker who’s seen firsthand how cuts to SNAP, attacks on affordable healthcare, and rising costs hit our neighbors. SD-15 needs that kind of fighter.

The Commonwealth of Virginia sent a message to DC and across the nation last week: we will stand up to Trump.
This isn’t standing up, @kaine.senate.gov. This is giving in.
