On this unusually warm Fall day, I spent some time knocking doors in Chesterfield for Del. Debra Gardner—a former social worker who’s seen firsthand how cuts to SNAP, attacks on affordable healthcare, and rising costs hit our neighbors. SD-15 needs that kind of fighter.

The Commonwealth of Virginia sent a message to DC and across the nation last week: we will stand up to Trump.
This isn’t standing up, @kaine.senate.gov. This is giving in.
Reverse course!

I'm all in for Delegate Gardner to be my next state senator. A true leader with decades of public service experience rooted in helping people and a background in fighting for a more affordable Virginia, I know that she will continue to serve Chesterfield and Richmond well.

With polls opening in just less than 36 hours from now, I enjoyed knocking doors in Petersburg today with fellow young Democrats. On Tuesday, we will send a message that the chaos in Washington is beneath what our Commonwealth deserves and we will elect Kimberly Pope Adams.

It pains me to learn that Supervisor Holland passed away after a lengthy battle with cancer. We often disagreed on the minutiae of policy and government, even both as Democrats. But we both respected each other’s commitment to public service.
Keeping his wife and family in my prayers. 🙏

This afternoon, I joined the Virginia Latino Caucus for a reception in Richmond. During this Hispanic Heritage Month, VLC and DLOV are united in how we can protect vulnerable communities and expand Latino political participation.

Great to welcome friends from Virginia Young Democrats to Chesterfield to knock doors for Leslie Mehta this past weekend!
Leslie will bring quality representation to the 73rd District, leaning into her personal background and her professional experience practicing law.

Federal data shows many Virginians are "rent burdened"
Anyone who spends more than 30% of their income on rent is "rent-burdened," a category of people that is surprisingly high in Virginia.

Love the artistic undertone of how restrictive zoning ordinances can divide communities instead of building communities.

Rather concerning that Chesterfield Fire has had to respond to two separate incidents at the very same data center in the past 30 days.
And just to clarify, this is the FOURTH incident at that facility in the last year.
