And my dad just lost his job of 42 years because of private equity stripping a classic Richmond family company for parts, packaging it for resale & merger. The enemy of workers ain’t other workers—it’s the millionaires and accountants who see us as lines on a balance sheet.

Delighted to be invited as a guest judge for St. John’s Memorial Church’s annual chili cook off. And congratulations to City Councilor Lloyd Snook for winning the grand prize!
As always, I will happily offer my opinions and criticism in exchange for food.

Great to honor this Veterans Day with community members dedicated to service. Enjoyed talking to fellow Veterans and local elected officials who call #VA05 home!

I’ve been a little under the weather the past several days, so Halloween has mostly involved puttering around the house and watching scary movies. But I still had to break out the matching dragon costumes for me and Jo. Hope all of #va05 has a safe and happy Halloween!

Over the last week, I’ve watched my community scramble. Food pantries, churches, and neighbors have braced to support the thousands of Albemarle residents afraid of going without food. Rep. McGuire peacocking at a food bank while his inaction makes folks go hungry is the darkest irony I can imagine.

Great weekend running into @amylaufer55 early voting and launching student canvassers! One more week of early voting—make your voice heard, #VA05!

Little did I know while filming this little vid that Jo would then TERRORIZE me for the rest of the day during call time.

As a Duke and UVA alum, I sometimes have divided loyalties. But either way, GTHC is a lifestyle.

By now y’all have probably heard the news about redistricting. This may change the #VA05 but it ain’t changing this race.
I’m going to keep fighting for working class folks.
I’m going to keep fighting for left behind rural communities.
And by God, we’re gonna win, whatever the district lines are.

The same corporations that want to gut this district bankroll my opponent’s campaign. Unlike McGuire, we can’t take shortcuts. Our momentum is testament to regular folks who believe in our vision. People know we can plant the seeds for a more just America in VA05.
THANK YOU to this team.

Had an absolute blast at Batesville’s apple butter weekend. Shout out to the Batesville Ruritans and local community for keeping this small town magic and tradition alive

This campaign is about believing in a better future, and knowing we can build that right here in #VA05
We are coming together and planting the seeds for a stronger, more just America in every community from South Hill to Farmville to Bedford and everywhere in between.

I regret to inform y’all that until we meet our Q3 target I have put Jo in JAIL.
Unfortunately her key costs $5,000. Together we can free her! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Loved talking with @varuralhealth about unique challenges central and Southside communities are facing.
Check out the podcast episode for more on the lack of redundancy in rural healthcare and how both parties in Congress are failing on these issues: vrha.org/2025/09/19/r...

Loved visiting Danville last Friday to talk with Dr. Gary Miller and area nonprofit leaders. As economic opportunity comes to Danville and beyond, increased housing prices follow--we need to invest early in maintaining safe and affordable housing for our communities.

Beautiful country.

While John McGuire will only answer voters' questions from his DC office 100 miles away, when I say I'm hosting a town hall, I'll look you in the eye and mean what I say.

Amazing grassroots energy in one of Virginia’s most beautiful corners! Loved chatting with the folks in Nelson county who’ve been defending this pocket of natural beauty for generations.

Great chatting with folks from across the district (and across VA!) tailgating for the ‘Hoos with my friends @katrinacallsen.com and Jay Jones. Excited to beat W&M today, Miyares in November, and McGuire in 2026!

Loved the opportunity to speak at the Labor day rally in Lynchburg about how we can build a country that works for the working class instead of corporations.
Hope is about *us*, and we’re sowing it all across #VA05 .

For my dad, working a 9-5 plus overtime every day since he was a teen. For my mom, who quit her job as a warehouse manager to raise me. For folks who break their backs every day and still can’t get ahead. For all of us: happy Labor Day.

Apparently if you order enough sushi, they give you a boat. Every day brings new insights, it seems. Happy anniversary, Will. ❤️🍣🤵♂️💍🤵♂️
