Proud to be the first African American Speaker in the 405 year history of Virginia House of Delegates. We don’t run from adversity-we overcome it!

[CBS Mornings @CBSMornings]

Democrat Don Scott is making history in Virginia as the Commonwealth’s first-ever Black speaker of the House.

The U.S. Navy veteran and lawyer told @MacFarlaneNews about defying expectations and overcoming big hurdles, including spending nearly eight years in federal prison.

Bang up job, Congressman.

[Abigail Spanberger @SpanbergerForVA]

All five of Virginia’s House Republicans voted in favor of the President’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” resulting in the largest cuts to healthcare & food assistance in history.

This Nov., we must take back the House and get Virginians the representation they deserve in Washington.

Our campaign was just added to the DCCC’s Red to Blue program. That means the path to the majority runs through the fifth, and there is no time to waste! Let’s do this! @dccc

I’m deeply troubled by the news out of Virginia State University this morning. Mellanda and I are praying for everyone injured, especially the person in critical condition, and for the entire VSU community. We’re grateful to the first responders and law enforcement on the scene, and we’ll continue closely following the investigation.

The Voting Rights Act changed America 61 years ago.

Whether its promise endures for the next 61 depends on what we choose to do now.

Senator Janet Howell stepped into the arena at a time when few women were welcome there. As the first woman to serve on and later co-chair the Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee, she shaped every state budget for a generation and changed the trajectory of Virginia itself. May she rest in peace.

Virginia state Sen. Janet Howell, who served 32 years and was the first woman to co-chair the Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee, has died at 82. https://t.co/5vX1gXDYOw

Virginia is a top 3 best state for business according to CNBC.

They looked at our world-class infrastructure, our exceptional workforce development opportunities, and our strategic investments in technology and innovation, and they recognized that we've got a phenomenal climate for businesses to thrive.

[Governor Abigail Spanberger @GovernorVA]

Since I took office, I have been focused on growing a stronger, more resilient economy — despite the economic uncertainty coming out of Washington, resulting rising costs, and deep cuts to our federal workforce. 

In six months, we have demonstrated success in doing just that; we have brought more than $5 billion in new business investment to communities across the Commonwealth, creating more than 3,000 new jobs.

We have continued to invest in our exceptional talent, world-class K-12 and higher education institutions, local childcare options, housing opportunities, and physical infrastructure.

Hampton Roads needs a fighter who is ready to take on Jen Kiggans and the most corrupt administration in history, which is raising prices on working families.

Virginians want more affordability and less corruption from Washington, and I’m ready to serve the people of Hampton Roads who are being left behind by corrupt politicians like Jen Kiggans and Donald Trump.

[Speaker Don Scott @SpeakerDonScott]

Happy Birthday America! Love, Virginia!

[Speaker Don Scott @SpeakerDonScott]

Two hundred fifty years ago, Virginia helped change the course of history. Our Commonwealth was the first to call for independence and helped give the world a vision of liberty that shaped the fabric of our nation.

"If we ever close the door to those new Americans, our leadership in the world would certainly be lost." President Reagan-radical left-winger.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Ronald Reagan: “You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman…But Anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American…This, I believe, is one of the most important sources of America's greatness.”🇺🇸

[Speaker Don Scott @SpeakerDonScott]

This merger must put affordability, Virginia ratepayers, and the preservation of Virginia jobs and economic development opportunities above all else.

At a time when too many people believe government cannot work, Virginia just proved otherwise.

"When freedom finally became the law for all, it still took more than two years for that freedom to reach the last enslaved Americans in Galveston, Texas. That delay is one of the enduring lessons of Juneteenth..."

He's giving Iran $25 billion to reopen the Strait of Hormuz that was opened for free before the war.
