There aren’t enough words to describe the immense impact Pamela Irvine has made on SWVA. For 45 years, Pamela & the @FeedingSWVA team have worked tirelessly to provide for those in need. We will miss Pamela’s leadership as she begins this next chapter. Thank you for everything ❤️

Our schools need our support. This morning’s conversation with MCPS was a great opportunity to hear from our school board about how we can help at the state level. By working together, we can strengthen our schools and create better opportunities for students and educators.

Rates are too high. Appalachian Power requesting another rate increase is nothing short of a money-grab. Virginians cannot afford for power companies to continuously put profits over people. I urge the SCC to reject this request and put Virginians first.

This merger is a bad deal for Virginians. Thank you @ltgovhashmi for hearing from Southwest Virginia about our concerns for rising electric rates. Costs are out of control, it’s up to us to fight back and bring us back to a Virginia affordable for everyone.

[Lily Franklin @LilyForDelegate]

@NRCCedu is doing great work preparing students for what’s ahead! Thank you for taking me around to learn about incredible programs. These students are engaged & dedicated to making our community even better. I can’t wait to see them enter the workforce & pursue their dreams!

[Lily Franklin @LilyForDelegate]

Feeding Southwest Virginia is a major partner in ending hunger in our region. Their dedication to providing nutritious options for those in need, especially in a time where many are struggling, is beyond admirable. Thank you to the @FeedingSWVA team for supporting our community!

Agriculture is imperative to the success of our Commonwealth. This year’s AG Committee retreat, we had the opportunity to tour farms, hear from industry leaders, & learn how to make the farming industry the best it can be. Thank you to all work hard to keep VA fed & cared for!

It’s been 25 years since September 11, 2001. Today we thank & honor the first responders who sprung to action in New York & the DMV to rescue the victims of that horrific terror attack. May we never forget those lost & the way our nation came together in a time of immense crisis.
