Found this article at my dad’s house a couple weeks ago, I taught school next to the Twin Towers-

In the midst of so much division and strife in today’s climate, I hope we can all reflect on the profound history surrounding today’s date.

This election could not be more important for abortion and contraceptive rights and access. The future of the Constitutional Amendment for Reproductive Freedom hinges on holding the reproductive freedom majority in the House of Delegates. Proud of my endorsement @reprorisingva.bsky.social

8 years ago, the "Unite the Right" rally brought violence to Charlottesville. White supremacists and neo-Nazis provoked clashes that ended with Heather Heyer’s murder. In response to the violence, Trump said there were “very fine people on both sides.” Never again.

Agriculture is the largest private industry in the Virginia-- our farmers feed the state and support the entire nation. On Thursday, I shared a resolution with the VA Farm Bureau committing to help reduce agricultural pollutants and restating my support for our farmers.

Full on authoritarianism on every front in Texas:

-Stealing five seats to help Trump rig midterms

-Threatening to arrest/expel democratically elected reps opposing election rigging

-Weaponizing federal law enforcement to illegally target elected reps

-SCOTUS preparing to kill Voting Rights Act

Hochul: "I will put saving democracy as my top priority at any cost. Bc it's under siege. Just like those who put on uniforms to fight battles across the ages. For centuries we stood up & fought. Blood has been shed. This is our moment in to stand up for all we hold dear & not let it be destroyed."

I can’t do my job totally hidden – every vote I make is public.

Most folks can’t do their jobs totally hidden.

So why do we let ICE?

I'm trying to make sure that ICE is held to the exact same standards as you and I – they must be unmasked and identifiable on the job.
