Trump keeps saying Democrats made up the word “affordability.” We think he’s trying to distract from the fact that his policies are wreaking havoc on prices. #affordability

[Nelson County Democrats - Virginia @NelsonDemsVa]

Since our congressman, John McGuire, has time to stand around waving at cars, let's put his time to better use, like calling and telling him to push back against Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund. While we’re at it, let's ask if he’s ever going to hold a town hall. 202-225-4711.

Pain at the pump is real, and if you live in a rural county like ours, where you have to drive a ways for pretty much everything, it can hurt even more.

If you've been wondering for the last 15 months how you can make a real difference, THIS IS YOUR MOMENT. Go to the polls on April 21 and vote YES for congressional redistricting that will help foil Trump's plan to steal the midterms.

What happens in Congress in the next two years could come down to how you vote next week. A YES vote in Virginia’s April 21 redistricting referendum supports fairness in congressional midterms and gives America a fighting chance to stop Trump’s power grab. Let’s do this together.

Gov. Spanberger wasn't taking any guff from Trump this weekend — it's one of the things we like most about her. That and the fact that she's signing bills into laws to address high housing, healthcare, and energy costs. Unlike Trump, Virginia's governor is keeping her promises.

[Governor Abigail Spanberger @GovernorVA]

The President lied about me today on social media. While he tries to distract from the soaring gas prices and economic worry he has caused, here’s what we are doing in Virginia.

I’ve signed dozens of bipartisan bills into law to address high housing, healthcare, and energy costs — and not the taxes the President and his allies are lying about. To name a few:

✅ Stopping predatory middlemen from driving up the cost of prescription drugs
✅ Incentivizing the construction of housing Virginians can actually afford
✅ Protecting families from covering the cost of energy infrastructure improvements
✅ Letting localities adopt affordable housing programs
✅ Incentivizing energy independence
✅ Investing in and growing our healthcare workforce
✅ Helping localities invest in new energy technology

I’ve signed bills to accelerate $7.1 billion in capital investment projects that will bring more than 3,250 jobs to our Commonwealth — including taking the final step in a multi-year process to bring the second-largest economic development project ever in Southern Virginia.

Instead of offering solutions to the problems he is both creating and actively making worse, the President scapegoats. He does it all the time. In Virginia, I am focused on providing stability for families, businesses, and communities — and delivering real results.

And this is exactly why voting YES in Virginia's April 21 referendum makes sense. It's going to give voters a fighting chance to rein in Trump and whatever additional harm he wants to inflict on Americans for the rest of his term. @FairElectionsVA

[Nelson County Democrats - Virginia @NelsonDemsVa]

A first-time Democratic candidate just flipped a legislative seat in Trump’s own backyard. State by state, election by election, there is more and more reason to hope. #voteblue @TheDemocrats

[Nelson County Democrats - Virginia @NelsonDemsVa]

Good morning! Early voting begins today for the April 21 referendum to redraw Virginia's congressional maps. While other states are rigging midterm elections at the direction of the president, this is our chance to fight back and restore fairness. Vote YES! @FairElectionsVA

[Nelson County Democrats - Virginia @NelsonDemsVa]

If, like President Obama, you don't think we can afford "two more years of unchecked power and zero accountability in Washington,” vote YES in Virginia's April 21 referendum to temporarily remap congressional districts. Early voting starts March 6. https://t.co/AYEmXz9O3u

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.

Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

Now Virginia has a chance to help level the playing field. If you live in the Commonwealth, early voting begins March 6, and Election Day is on April 21. Vote YES.

[Nelson County Democrats - Virginia @NelsonDemsVa]

Virginians will get to decide in a special April 21 referendum whether they want to fight back against blatant attempts to rig mid-term elections around the country. Vote YES. And thank you, Sen. @MarkWarner and @SenTimKaine, for your support.

[Nelson County Democrats - Virginia @NelsonDemsVa]

Always remember.

[Democrats @TheDemocrats]

Today, we mourn the loss of Rev. Jesse Jackson, a titan of the Civil Rights Movement. Jackson’s tireless work and leadership lives on in the millions he inspired to continue his legacy of making our country a more just place for all. Rest in peace.

[Nelson County Democrats - Virginia @NelsonDemsVa]

Why the April 21 referendum on redrawing congressional districts in Virginia is so important right now: "This state and this country badly need a Congress that serves as a check and balance against executive overreach, not a rubber stamp for it."

Voter suppression isn't what America stands for, but it's what House Republicans, including the 5th's John McGuire, have pushed through. Now's the time to contact senators and let them know we're against disenfranchising American citizens. 202-224-3121.

Democratic lawmakers aren't wasting any time coming up with safeguards against ICE in the Commonwealth.

Some call this Democratic upset in a deep red Texas district "shocking." We call it America waking up. Congrats, Taylor Rehmet!

[Democrats @TheDemocrats]

HUGE: Democrat Taylor Rehmet has flipped Texas Senate District 9 blue, pulling off a major electoral upset in a district Trump won by 17 points in 2024.

Congrats, Senator-elect Rehmet!

[Nelson County Democrats - Virginia @NelsonDemsVa]

Virginia skies just got a little bluer. Congratulations on your inauguration, Gov. Abigail Spanberger!

[Abigail Spanberger @SpanbergerForVA]

I am honored to serve as the 75th Governor of Virginia.

It is with a profound sense of duty to all Virginians that I assume the Governorship and pledge myself to work tirelessly on behalf of our Commonwealth — our home.

[Nelson County Democrats - Virginia @NelsonDemsVa]

The occupant of the White House may be trying to rewrite history, but there are millions of us who are not going to let him. Thanks to @NPR for publishing this archive.
