My fellow Americans, this Independence Day, I had the honor of welcoming 98 new citizens from 40 countries, including 15 active-duty service members, as they took the Oath of Allegiance and joined our American family.
Thank you for proudly embracing the values and responsibilities of our nation. Virginia’s story is America’s story, and you are all now part of its next chapter.
Happy Independence Day — and cheers to all those who are engaged in the necessary, ongoing work to realize the promise of America. 🇺🇸
I was delighted to join the 20th Annual 4th of July Parade in East Beach this morning!
America is the greatest country in the world! Celebrate our independence today and remember Lincoln’s words that, “they meant to set up a standard maxim for free society, which should be familiar to all, and revered by all; constantly looked to, constantly labored for...”
Congratulations to my friend @cToddGilbert on his nomination by @POTUS Trump for United States Attorney for the Western District of Virginia! Del. Gilbert is an experienced leader and prosecutor who will serve with integrity, uphold the rule of law, and protect the safety of our communities. I look forward to his confirmation!

I’ve been off the grid the past few days (other than some check ins about UVA). Instead, I spent time with my Grandma Preston before she left us today. She was a powerhouse and I will share more about her soon, but for now just a sketch of her and my Dad and this time together. ❤️🕊️
At a time when affordability is top of mind, I’m proud to have led the charge on the Cash Now Act, which is already returning millions of dollars worth of unclaimed property back to Virginia families.
I joined @DannyAvula at the @GoSquirrels stadium to celebrate @FriendshipCir of Richmond’s Inclusion Day! Inclusion day is all about bringing people together in community, friendship and dignity. It’s my third year in a row going! They do amazing things!
Today, we dedicated a new historic marker in my district regarding the desegregation of private pools to remind everyone of the struggles that people like Paul Sullivan and his family went through to make our community a better place

Last week I travelled to @radfordu to speak at @vaboysstate. As a proud alumni of the 1974 Boys State, I always enjoy coming back to share a few thoughts with our Commonwealth's future leaders.
Virginia’s General Assembly is 405 years old and Virginia’s 237th birthday was back in 1844.
237 years ago today, Virginia ratified the US Constitution, seven years after Thomas Jefferson finished his term as Governor of Virginia and 181 years after Jamestown, Virginia was est.
We will not tolerate Governor Youngkin violating our constitution to keep extremists on university boards. The Senate has acted and our decision is final.
