September is National Preparedness Month!
All month long, we’ll be sharing tips to help you get ready for whatever comes your way.
Disasters can strike when we least expect them, so a little planning now can make a BIG difference later.
A good start to making an emergency plan is knowing:
✅ Shelter options
✅ Evacuation zones
✅ How you'll get alerts
✅ How you'll stay in touch with loved ones
✅ A stocked emergency kit (don't forget food, water and necessary medications!)
Once you've got your plan together, practice it so everyone knows what to do — and review annually!

From the healthcare workers who care for our veterans, to the engineers, shipyard workers, and cybersecurity specialists who strengthen our nation’s defense, federal workers not only keep our country safe, but also are the backbone of our economy here in Hampton Roads. I’m proud to have earned AFGE’s endorsement and look forward to fighting and delivering for the dedicated public servants who have devoted their careers to serving our country.
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.
Today, I joined other legislators in sending a letter to the SCC endorsing the @GovernorVA’s position on the SCC’s pending data center transmission costs case. As we conclude:
“The bottom line is data centers should pay for their transmission lines, not Virginians.”
