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.

Glad that the FTC is holding Greystar, the nation’s largest corporate landlord, accountable.

Whether it’s undisclosed fees, market collusion, or SCRA violations, Greystar has demonstrated that they cannot be trusted to protect renters.

Started my morning with pancakes, door knocking packets, and a whole lot of motivation to elect Del. Debra Gardner to the State Senate. Proud to support a fighter who shows up for our communities — we’ve got some work to do! 🥞🗳️

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!

They tell us the “guardrails” on Flock Safety will save us. Well, what about when the head of a local police department decides to drive through the guardrails?

I’m proud of Senator Jennifer Carroll Foy for taking the initiative to lead the repeal of “Right to Work” — a Jim Crow relic. Now is not the time to take our foot off the gas on fighting for working families, improving working conditions, and raising wages.

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.

Reverse course!

I'm all in for Delegate Gardner to be my next state senator. A true leader with decades of public service experience rooted in helping people and a background in fighting for a more affordable Virginia, I know that she will continue to serve Chesterfield and Richmond well.

Polls are still open for another hour and some change! If you haven’t gotten out there, go out and vote.

I spent my morning and afternoon poll greeting in Chesterfield to elect our statewide ticket and re-elect Del. Debra Gardner to the House of Delegates.

With polls opening in just less than 36 hours from now, I enjoyed knocking doors in Petersburg today with fellow young Democrats. On Tuesday, we will send a message that the chaos in Washington is beneath what our Commonwealth deserves and we will elect Kimberly Pope Adams.
