🚨 INBOX: BIG CHEERS FOR @GovernorVA IN BLACKSBURG! 🥳

Bonus: we ran into this notable Virginia Tech alum at the airport! @hodakotb

Great to visit Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport yesterday. I enjoyed hearing from the people working to expand this airport which serves hundreds of thousands of Virginians, supports thousands of jobs, and contributes millions of dollars to the region's economy each year.

100 days. We've hit the ground running.

Tackling the high cost of living. Bringing new business investment to Virginia. Investing in our workforce. Contending with reckless economic policies out of Washington.

And we're just getting started.

[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.

[Abigail Spanberger @SpanbergerForVA]

The President and his allies are talking about taxes that our state legislature never even voted on and I certainly didn't sign.

Why? Because if they don't flood the zone with fake news about fake taxes, people might hear about the bills I am signing to lower energy costs, strengthen our schools, make housing more affordable, and bring billions of dollars of business investment to Virginia.

[Libby Wiet @libbywiet]

.@8NEWS: “NONE of the bills signed so far are related to additional taxes”

Huh, would you look at that!

[Governor Abigail Spanberger @GovernorVA]

Ever wonder what happens after the General Assembly passes more than 1,000 bills?

I've got some reading to do.

[Governor Abigail Spanberger @GovernorVA]

Hey @NC_Governor, seen any good college basketball games lately?

I might have shown a little more Virginia bias than Adam… 🏀

🚨BIG NEWS: 1,000+ new jobs coming to Pittsylvania!

Aerospace company Avio is investing more than $500 MILLION in a new manufacturing facility — the second-largest economic development deal in Southside history.

Virginia is the very best place in the world to grow a business.

[Governor Abigail Spanberger @GovernorVA]

More housing options in Hampton!

Today, we announced $20 million in new private investment to turn historic buildings at Fort Monroe into homes. Adaptive reuse, public-private partnership, and Virginia history.

This is how we keep innovating to address our housing shortage.

[Governor Abigail Spanberger @GovernorVA]

JUST IN: My official portrait!

[Governor Abigail Spanberger @GovernorVA]

This inauguration was about far more than any one person. It was about the common goals that unite us and the people who shape our Commonwealth.

As we move into this new chapter, we’re United for Virginia’s Future.

[Democratic Governors @DemGovs]

Winners win.
