Trump is blocking access to vital job training and technical education for hardworking people across every corner of our Commonwealth, making it harder for them to build better futures and succeed in today’s economy. It's shameful and must be stopped. swvatoday.com/news/article...

Today marks 100 days since Trump was sworn in.

Since then, he's fired thousands of Virginia workers, worked to gut Virginia's Head Start funding, and raised costs on all of us.

Enough is enough. I'm running for LG to counter the Trump-Musk agenda and put Virginia first.

Virginia is the number one state in federal contracting.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are actively gutting these contracts and bankrupting our Commonwealth.

Meanwhile, Glenn Youngkin and Winsome Sears stand idly by letting it happen. I'm running for LG to put a stop to this.

23 years ago, I found Cory Booker's email address after he lost his first campaign for Mayor of Newark.

This is what he emailed me back. 11 years later, I became Secretary of the Commonwealth.

Now, I couldn't be prouder to watch Senator Booker make history.

Today may be April Fools Day, but what's happening in Virginia right now isn't funny.

Because of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, thousands of our residents have lost their jobs.

It's why I'm running for LG. The stakes are too important. This November, we will take back our state.

Tonight, Donald Trump abandoned our allies, abandoned Virginia federal workers whose jobs were cut by Elon Musk, and abandoned the American people who are spending far too much on groceries.

We need leadership in Virginia to stand up for our communities, not bow down to a lawless President.

Because of Donald Trump's tariffs Virginians will pay more for essential goods from produce to electronics. We need leadership now that will stand up to Washington and protect our people.

The Republican Gubernatorial primary is turning into a contest of who will appease Elon Musk more.

It's time for Virginia Republicans to either stand with Virginia workers or with Donald Trump.

They cannot have it both ways. Trump's policies are harming our residents. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
