Proudly serving Virginia on behalf of @MarkWarner. Lover of all things @VAStateParks. Alum of @WilliamAndMary, @RalphNortham, and @VirginiaDCR. Tweets = my own.
NEW: AI contains a lot of promise… but it also poses serious threats to our economy, privacy, national security, and more.
I just unveiled 6 new bills that will chart a brighter path forward for everything from data centers to job displacement so we’re ready to meet this moment.
For the haters: please reference the maps. As you can see, the Blue Ridge Mountains do not go anywhere into West Virginia but are, in fact, in the Western Part of Virginia.
The Shenandoah River is in the Western Part of Virginia with a minimal--MINIMAL--crossover into West Virginia.
Did you know that the FFA was founded at Virginia Tech in 1925 by four agricultural education teachers? Today, the National FFA Organization is a school-based national youth leadership development organization of well more than 850,000 students as part of the almost 9000 local FFA chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. @NationalFFA #service #LeadershipMatters #UtProsim #FutureLeaders
As we remember our incredible daughter, Maddy, my family has been deeply touched by the outpouring of support we’ve received. Thank you to everyone for your kind words.
Maddy was a deeply empathetic and engaged person. Even as recently as the day she passed, she was full of ideas and suggestions for me – especially how I could improve my social media to make a difference.
She used to say to me: “Dad, you have the power – you have to use it.” She pushed me to make the most of my position, to use my seat in the Senate to help people in meaningful ways.
If I can find any solace during this time, it’s that I have the enormous privilege to serve Virginians and the responsibility to keep working for a better, more just world in Maddy’s name.
I look forward to returning to the Senate this week and continuing that essential work.
In the 5 weeks since the Iran war started, Virginia's average at-the-pump fuel prices are up 44%. Diesel prices are up 57% (+$2.098 per gallon). These increases have cost Virginians, our transit agencies, school districts, and small businesses over $409.9 million.
Today, we celebrate 100 years of the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation!
Virginia is home to the most beautiful outdoor spaces in the country. Thank you, @VirginiaDCR, for protecting the landscapes, waterways, and public lands that color Virginia’s identity.
Serving Virginia is the honor of my life – but doing it with my friend of 40+ years always makes it more fun. The optimist to my grouch, the Barbie to my Oppenheimer, the harmonica player to my sad tuna melt… Virginia is lucky to have the best junior Senator. Happy birthday Tim!
The American experiment was born in Williamsburg, Virginia.
I can’t think of a better place to deliver the Democratic Response to the President’s State of the Union Address.
Spring wildfire season is here, Virginia.
We’ve already seen more than 100 wildfires this year in the Commonwealth.
That’s why we brought in a special guest to share an important reminder — only YOU can prevent wildfires!
@geoffreyvs@ChazNuttycombe Bridgewater College and Virginia University of Lynchburg too. Occupational hazard but I spend a considerable amount of time talking/working with many of the names on this list!
🚨NEXT FRIDAY: We are kicking off the inaugural weekend with our Made in Virginia Market!
Come browse goods made across the Commonwealth in the heart of our capital city. All Virginians can be part of the festivities.
I hope you'll join us! Learn more @ https://t.co/4qR6Np0YEb.
