NEW: I've just finished restoring the civil rights of 11,970 Virginians.

Over the last four years, @virginia_soc and her team have helped me restore the rights of 125,846 people—who can now cast a ballot, run for office, and participate fully in our democracy.

#Pride is a celebration of the movement that began as a protest 52 years ago at Stonewall—a fight for equality that continues today.

This month, and every month, we are proud to stand with LGBTQ+ Virginians, allies, and advocates.
