🧵1/10
As results continue coming in, we wanted to thank you for all your dedication and hard work during this campaign season. Because of you, we’ve been able to advocate for workers, families, and students across the Commonwealth. That is truly something to be proud of. 💙

It may be raining but there is still a ton of Democratic enthusiasm to elect leaders who put middle class families FIRST!

✔️I have all relevant ID information with me
✔️I asked 3 friends about their plan to vote
Just one more reason we need to #KeepVABlue on Election Day. The GOP is always looking for a new opportunity to restrict our reproductive rights. A Democratic majority means we can defend against their efforts to enact sexist and retrograde legislation. https://t.co/YyxqqBqfY5
Right on! As @JennMcClellanVA put it, “Every issue is a woman’s issue.” Proud to be among these amazing women as a member of the Virginia State Legislature. https://t.co/DvDXF575fq
