It’s an honor to be endorsed by Independent Veterans of America! Thanks to @rieckhoff.bsky.social & the entire team at IVA for believing in me, bringing me into the pack, & inspiring my next steps in Virginia. Congrats to Toby & Mike! Onward! #donnaforva #independent @independentcenter.bsky.social
This is why debates are so important. I am glad that Virginians were able to witness composure vs. chaos on the debate stage tonight. #vote
Virginia’s gubernatorial debate earlier this evening underscores why we need a governor with professionalism, temperament, and poise. @abigailspanberger.com demonstrated these traits head and shoulders above her opponent, proving that she has what it takes to be the next Governor of Virginia.
PRESS RELEASE: DONNA CHARLES, INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA, ENDS HER CAMPAIGN AND ENDORSES ABIGAIL SPANBERGER. See full press release attached or here: donnaforva.com/press-releas...
Until we have a governor willing to stand with communities and everyday Virginians, like I’ve committed to doing, we all get left holding the bag. We can do this, Virginia! #goodneighbors #regulate #energy #donnaforva #donna4gov @gonatureforward.bsky.social @moreperfectunion.bsky.social
This audio is from a conversation with a constituent at one of my town halls, so please excuse the quality. More can and should be done to make sure data centers are good neighbors, good stewards of shared resources, and work with communities to mitigate harmful impacts.
Data centers are critical for artificial intelligence. Virginia is the nerve center, with the most data centers in the country. They consume as much energy as a small town, in many cases, and utility companies are making you foot the bill. @gonatureforward.bsky.social @moreperfectunion.bsky.social
Want all of this noise to stop? Take control and vote for those who will do their jobs, not line up to protect party interests. Thanks to Wendell Moss and the PreShow team for having me on the show! #indie #donnaforva #donna4gov #shutdown #virginia #vote
As we hurtle toward another totally avoidable government shutdown, I’ll post this interview segment as a reminder about what being an independent means to me. As governor, I’d be focused on what’s best for Virginians, not party battles that landed us in this mess.
Honored to have been part of this lovely gathering of strong, beautiful, and remarkable women from all over Richmond and the greater Commonwealth. #community #thrivetogether #bgm #donnaforva #donna4gov @cruzincradio102-8.bsky.social

As governor, I’ll create avenues for stronger monitoring, evaluation, & enforcement at the state level while empowering locals to get tough on housing discrimination.

A two-minute descent into chaos. This is just a snapshot of how our broken political system is breaking our country. We can do better, but we have to choose to do better. Elect independent leaders who will work for you, not for clicks (or corporations). #independent

We are pleased to learn that VPAP will update her status to “write in” in time for early voting on Friday, 19 September, now that the technical issue has been remediated.
In June, we learned that the Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP) misclassified Donna Charles as “withdrawn” from the gubernatorial race due to a technicality that does not comport with the Virginia Department of Elections.
Remember that early voting in Virginia starts 19 September. If you want to elect a leader who gets it and will fight for what is right, write in Donna Charles. Why? Because Donna has walked that mile, just like you.
Yes, the rent is too damn high. As governor, Donna Charles will stop predatory investors from destabilizing the housing market in Virginia. #foryou #housing #rent #humanrights #donnaforva #donna4gov
Thx to Michael Hahn of the @the75.bsky.social for having me on the 75 Podcast! Great discussion about my run for Governor, what’s ailing our politics, & how we fight big money in politics.

Donna’s plan for school choice in Virginia is “smart” because parents who qualify are empowered while our public schools stay accessible for all. Thanks to @npr.org & Dr. AJ Simmons for having me on the Crashing the Political Party podcast! #schoolchoice #virginia #donnaforva #donna4gov #education
There is no place for violence in a civil society where we, as thoughtful human beings, should be able to debate policies &?ideas without fear of violent retribution. While the motive is unclear now, one thing is clear: our country is reeling from this sickness of politically-motivated violence.
