Fellow Xennials - we’re in the fight of our lifetimes. I’ve spent 25yrs fighting for fair representation & protecting our democracy. It’s all on the line. If you live in Virginia, let’s do our part to prevent a complete MAGA power grab. VOTE YES on or before April 21. I just did!
Proud to work with @SenatorLocke Chair of @VASenateDems, who closed Q1 as the top fundraiser in the Senate AND with the most cash on hand.
In an off-year, that kind of success takes grit.
If we want equal representation, we must invest in Black women leaders. #BlackWomenLead
A bitterly cold GOTV wknd didn’t stop us from knocking doors for @Kannanforva & @SinghforVA! Today’s storm = sub phones for doors instead. Control of #valeg hangs in the balance. Huge thanks to @ourcommonpower for traveling to support @NewVAMajority and our endorsed candidates!
As we settle in for tonight’s storm ❄️ , let’s recap our GOTV weekend:
Over 10,000 doors knocked 🚪
16,800 contact attempts 📞
Early vote record w/ 4,254 votes cast 🗳️
Thank you to those that made it possible—but we’re not done. Join us Monday & Election Day to finish strong!
It all still matters. We have to let the young folks and the new fighters know it and believe it.
We’re fighting in new terrain with new tools we don’t even know how to use yet. But we will learn and we will carry on the fight.
There is no evidence of non citizens voting in Virginia. And legal voters were removed under @GlennYoungkin’s program, including one who had been removed, affirmed citizenship and then removed again 👉 https://t.co/DyWkY9CiJj #valeg
Vice President Harris: There are so many people in our country who fall in the Sandwich Generation. They're taking care of their kids and they're taking care of their aging parents. It’s just almost impossible to do it all. So I am proposing that we allow Medicare to cover in-home health care
Key moment of the #VA02 debate- after Jen Kiggans says reproductive rights should be "legislated and debated at the state level," @missycottersmas responds: "Jen Kiggans just told you that she thinks politicians should have control over your body"
Big applause moment at the end:
"Today, the union members of SEIU 32BJ, @SEIUVA512 and Teamsters Local 322 announced their endorsement of @harrison Roday for Richmond Mayor" https://t.co/lwolqkT2NZ
It was great to be a part of the “Ethics in Voting and Election Integrity” panel at the Minority Political Leadership Institute at @VCU_GEHLI !
My message was clear: Your voice is your vote. You can make real change at the ballot box and it's up to all of us to make a difference.
We just watched @timkaine do what he does best—show Virginians how he fights for and stands up for them every single day.
Be like @aerodgers and make a plan to vote for @timkaine at https://t.co/4IK19HXXVG.
“The majority of Richmonders are renters, about 55-60%. We need to spend more time talking about protecting renters and stopping evictions. We need to be more clear that taxpayer dollars should be used to support the unhoused.” @harrison 🏬 @rjmarr@myVPM

The Richmonder is officially live.
My first story is a curtain-raiser on where the mayoral race stands 2 months out, and why this one feels hard to predict.

Yesterday, the Board of Education adopted some terrible changes that are bad for VA students, parents, and educators.
Here's why these changes are wrong for Virginia 🧵
Fun fact: Third Church, Mr Coleman & Mr Avula’s church, partners with the Pregnancy Resource Center of Metro Richmond- a crisis pregnancy center (1/2)
