Adam and I are heartbroken for @CandiMundonKing and her family after learning that they lost their daughter, Candis.

I spoke with Delegate King last night and offered our prayers. No parent should ever have to experience the loss of their child, and I’m thinking of the King family during this difficult time.

THIS is the future worth fighting for. Thank you to the young dems from MA, VA, OK, NC, WV, and KY for coming all the way out to Blacksburg to knock doors for us!

Our electric bills are going up, up, up

Without regulation and proper planning for these energy guzzling projects - let's call the increase in rates out for what it is:

A massive new tax on Loudoun County residents.

Today we launched our first TV ad of the election. I’ve spent my career working to keep farms in the family and preserve rural America, and I’m running for HD-30 to protect our farmland and our communities — not data centers and the billionaires who profit from them.

We’re teaming up with @RuralGroundGame for a text bank this Tuesday! See ya there 🤠

The White House’s discretionary budget includes a 93% cut to the Appalachian Regional Commission. This will be devastating to a region that is already falling behind the rest of the country.

[Jake Cooke @Jake4TheValley]

You voted to kill your poor constituents and close rural hospitals.

You can brag about that rural healthcare fund you've made and you can pretend to care, but that's nothing in the roughly trillion dollar cut you've made to medicaid.

[Virginia Young Dems @VAYD]

All five Virginia Republicans voted to harm Virginians today.

They voted to strip social services, attack vulnerable communities, and put our Commonwealth’s future in jeopardy.

Shame on them. Virginia will remember this!

Our June meeting is approaching! We’ll be joined by two amazing Young Democrats running for the House of Delegates this year! @RiseHayesForDel @Venable4VA

Stand with Los Angeles. Stand with immigrants. Fight back against ICE.
