With the chaos and uncertainty happening in Washington, it's more important than ever to fight to protect Virginia families by making access to healthcare more equitable and affordable.

NEW: We need to take steps towards universal health care coverage NOW.
Today, I’m introducing my Health CARE Act, legislation that would reverse the devastating impacts of HR. 1, implement a low-cost public health insurance option, and permanently expand ACA tax credits.
Shockingly it took all 4 years of the previous administration, but it's finally signed into law under @GovernorVA Spanberger. Elections matter—it's wonderful to have leadership that actually prioritizes the health and safety of Virginia's kids.

This milestone belongs to everyone who has stood behind this mission, and to the leaders who joined us today to turn shovels in the ground and so many others who share our commitment to preserving this history.
When complete, the Visitor Education Center will give visitors from around the world a place to learn the full story of September 11th, the 184 lives lost at the Pentagon, and the courage that followed. This is how we ensure that generations who know 9/11 only through history books will still understand what it cost, and what it means to never forget.
Thank you to everyone who made today possible. 🙏
#25thRemembrance #NeverForget #PentagonMemorial
The 25th anniversary of 9/11 has provided many meaningful opportunities for members of ACPD to come together with our public safety & military family to honor those we lost & reflect on the extraordinary teamwork, courage & resilience demonstrated on that day & beyond.
We will #NeverForget. As time passes, it is our solemn responsibility to ensure that future generations understand what happened at the Pentagon on #September11 and the lives we lost here in #ArlingtonVA. I was proud to carry the budget amendment to support the Visitor Education Center at the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial so its lessons—and its history—endure.

More local bars need to follow the Richmond Bar Association’s lead and actively get the word out when seeking candidates for local district and circuit court vacancies. Transparency and broad outreach are so important for finding the best judicial candidates!
The Richmond Bar Association is soliciting nominations for candidates to fill a judicial vacancy on the Richmond Circuit Court following Judge Bradley B. Cavedo's retirement. https://t.co/PHJBK9GZ6Q
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was a landmark step toward ensuring every eligible American could exercise their right to vote.
We’ve made meaningful progress since then, but the fight isn’t over. I’ll keep working to protect our democracy and strengthen voting rights for all Americans.
5pm turnout estimates show 5.832576694% of Arlington has voted today. This is in addition to 0.4% who voted early or by mail in the Republican Primary and 5.7% in the Democratic Primary. Last update of the day. Polls close at 7pm! More decimals to come in November!
A great round table with @AGJayJones this morning on vape enforcement. Too many stores are selling illegal products or selling to kids. With legislation I passed with @AdamEbbin and @HopeforVirginia we’ve made meaningful progress on cracking down on illegal activity. 1/
I am deeply saddened by the passing of former Senator Janet Howell. Janet represented part of Arlington for many years, and I was fortunate to work alongside her on legislation and attend countless community events.
I learned so much from Janet over the years and often turned to her for advice. As the first woman to chair the Senate Finance Committee, she was a trailblazer whose leadership shaped Virginia for generations. She was a tireless advocate for expanding access to health care, improving the lives of people with disabilities, and standing up for those whose voices too often went unheard. She fiercely loved her community and our Commonwealth, and Virginia is a better place because of her service.
My thoughts are with her family, friends, and everyone whose lives she touched. Her legacy will endure, and she will be greatly missed.
You can vote today until 5 at Courthouse. Proud @HopeforVirginia is with me: "Matt is deeply committed to Arlington. He’s thoughtful, listens closely, and asks the right questions before making a decision. He’s a true friend and someone Arlingtonians can always depend on.”
This is long overdue, and I’m glad to see @AGJayJones putting the full resources of his office toward enforcing our laws and protecting Virginians from dangerous illegal vapes and unregulated products. @adamebbin@ScVanValkenburg https://t.co/35g6xMCJ2f
Glad to see @AGJayJones already at work enforcing the law, carried by me, @AdamEbbin and @HopeforVirginia, to crack down on the bad actor vape shops that are selling drugs in our community or illegally selling products to our children.
