From day one to primary day, I’ve been honored to stand with @SenatorHashmi and today, she’s officially the Democratic nominee for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia.
We built this campaign from the ground up. We knocked doors, made calls, raised the money, and never lost sight of what we were fighting for.
So proud of everything we’ve accomplished and we’re not done yet. Onward to November! 💙
Yesterday’s Virginia’s Voices experience in Wytheville brought together three different ways of understanding a community: walking its streets, serving its people, and engaging with its history.
Virginia, three critical constitutional amendments are on the ballot this November. Constitutional amendments are special: they require passage by two General Assemblies and then voters have a direct voice. Voting Yes gives you the power to protect rights for Virginians.
This week, I’m heading to Southwest Virginia for 3 more stops on the Literature & Government tour: Wytheville College, Roanoke College, and Radford University.
All 3 lectures are open to the public, so if you’re in the area, come join us. See you then!

(2/3) These books explore our regional history, identity, democracy, and the stories that shape our Commonwealth and our country. I hope you’ll read along with me this summer, and I look forward to continuing the conversation when we gather this fall.
The NextEra-Dominion merger would result in the largest utility monopoly in the country, and @ltgovhashmi is asking all the right questions — 64 to be exact — about how it would impact the people living, working, and raising families in the Commonwealth. https://t.co/dq015uq8e0
I’m launching my Substack with my first article on America’s 250th: a reflection on our nation’s founding, the progress we’ve made, and the work that still lies ahead. Read it here:

After years of vetoes, the Right to Contraception Act & Contraceptive Equity Act were signed today by Governor Abigail Spanberger. Virginians will now be able to make their own reproductive healthcare decisions without the interference of politicians. (1/2)
(2/2) We discussed how storytelling, history, and education are woven into the fabric of Virginia and continue to shape the communities we build together. Tune in wherever you get your podcasts.
As someone who grew up in Georgia and cherishes memories of Statesboro and Atlanta, I am proud to share my latest op-ed published today in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
It was a great morning celebrating Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month with @MarkWarner, @BobbyScott, @RepSuhas, @ltgovhashmi, and Virginia’s AANHPI community. Virginia is proud to be home to such incredible and diverse communities!
