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.

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.

Polls are still open for another hour and some change! If you haven’t gotten out there, go out and vote.
I spent my morning and afternoon poll greeting in Chesterfield to elect our statewide ticket and re-elect Del. Debra Gardner to the House of Delegates.

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.

Loved running into some of our Hampton Roads champions in the General Assembly at the Spanberger rally featuring Pres. Obama!

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.

Chesterfield County is standing up to Dominion Energy! I was proud to join hundreds of neighbors who, along with organizers from Friends of Chesterfield County, shared opposition to Dominion's proposed gas-fired peaker plant. #NoGasPlant

There’s few occasions where you can get me out of the house before 7am, and the Buena Vista parade is one of them! It was great to support our statewide ticket and our fantastic House candidates up and down the I-81 corridor.

It was a treat to be in Harrisonburg—the Friendly City—for the local Democratic committees’ annual Labor Day dinner. Even got to run into DPVA Chair Sen. Lamont Bagby and former Del. Jay Jones at Buc-ee’s afterward!

The Latino Market in Chesterfield was packed with tons of vendors and customers today! And yes, I bought more food than I could possibly eat.
I’m extraordinarily grateful that Supervisor Schneider helped lead this initiative in Chesterfield County.

It was a true honor to join hundreds upon hundreds of fired-up young Democrats in Philadelphia for #YDAPhilly — ready to lead not just in the future, but right now.
