Delegate David Owen is a Do-Nothing Delegate. He passed ZERO bills in the most recent legislative session, officially making him the least effective legislator in Virginia.

Unlike David Owen, I'll get to work on Day One and tackle the most pressing challenges facing Virginians.

I’m proud to be endorsed by the Communication Workers of America (CWA), representing thousands of workers keeping our communities connected.

I’ll always stand up for workers’ rights, strong unions, and a future that works for all of us.

My opponent, Delegate David Owen, has a dangerous record on public safety.

Unlike David Owen, I'll proudly stand with law enforcement and work tirelessly to keep us safe — which is why I'm endorsed by the Virginia Police Benevolent Association.

My opponent does not believe in a woman's right to control her own body.

He's been fighting for years to ban abortion, and now he's been endorsed by a group that believes a 10-year-old rape survivor should have been forced to carry her pregnancy to term.

The rain came down hard today, but the spirit of community shone even brighter at OCA–Central Virginia’s Mid-Autumn Festival.

As someone who’s spent years advocating for our voices to be heard, I’m proud to soon be the first Chinese American in the Virginia General Assembly.

I’m honored to have the endorsement of the Mid-Atlantic Pipe Trades Association, representing thousands of skilled union workers across Virginia.

These workers power our economy and build our future. I’m proud to fight for fair wages, safe working conditions, and strong apprenticeship programs.

On World Contraception Day, let's recommit ourselves to expanding health care access and safeguarding reproductive freedom for women everywhere. Sadly, my opponent, Delegate David Owen, has voted repeatedly against protecting a woman's right to contraception.

I'm lucky to be a mom of two incredible young women. I'm beyond proud of them, and they motivate me to work towards a better future for all of us.

Happy National Daughters Day!

I'm the only candidate in this race to be endorsed by the Virginia Police Benevolent Association, because those who protect and serve know I'll have their backs and make sure they have they the support they need to keep our communities safe.

I appreciated the opportunity to attend the VAASOA Expo this afternoon and meet with hardworking business owners. Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and as Delegate, I'll champion policies that help grow our economy and allow businesses to thrive.
