Soooo-#RealID was a thing passed in 2005, due to #Sept11, and gets implemented in 2020. I think this is the perfect microcosm of our government at work!
The United States stands with President @jguaido and all Venezuelans in their fight for #libertad. Venezuela deserves a safe, democratic and prosperous future. With no legitimate claim to power, Maduro must go. The oppressed people of Venezuela deserve to thrive again!
THIS is why I run. #ForLeo. For kids like him. For these teachers who support him, take it all in stride and are an absolute gift. I’m running for all of them and to keep @HenricoSchools a place people move to send their kids to school and to teach. #DartForSchoolBoard vote 11/5

#governmentshutdown Huge frustration this year: @USHouse passes bipartisan bills that go to die on @senatemajldr McConnell’s desk. In essence, our government has been on permanent shut down all of 2019. Oh yes, and another financial shutdown is looming. @SpanbergerVA07@USSenate
@patrickmwilson DYK, MM was college roommates with PAC chief’s wife? Or ANY candidate could get same support by simply approaching the PAC and proving they were a contender? Ding dong ding-#Themoreyouknow@bluevirginia Research is a beautiful thing. I miss real journalism.
A few more of my favorite moments from this weekend's iftar with Sudanese-Americans in #VA07. I'm grateful for the conversations I get to share with constituents, & I'm humbled by the tireless work so many women & men are doing to uplift their communities in Virginia and beyond.
