I'm running to be one of Virginia's 5 elected Democratic Party members. I spent the last four years leading the Fairfax Democrats with a record margin in '20 for Biden. I'm ready to bring my local party knowledge and tech expertise to the DNC. Voting is at the June 22nd State Convention.

Today, I was part of a delegation of senior state officials & lawmakers from across the U.S. who met with top officials from the FTC & the White House to discuss strategies for curbing junk fees. Thank you Economic Security Project & American Economic Liberties Project:

States are cracking down on junk fees that cost an avg. family over $3K/yr. Today, leaders like Illinois Attorney General, Treasurer Michael Frerichs, Stella Pekarsky, @TimLongest, Bob Morgan, Sen. Omar Aquino met with officials from the FTC and The White House to discuss curbing these deceptive practices. 1/

Going into reconvene today, this is the status of my bills.

It’s been 17 years and yet, it feels like yesterday. I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news. It was devastating. So much lost, but we will continue to remember and honor them by fighting for policies that will save lives. #VTWeRemember

To all who celebrate today, may it bring you peace and joy!

I’m proud to have championed legislation with Del. Dan Helmer that protects employees in the Commonwealth from discrimination for lawful use of medical marijuana. Another thank you to the Virginia Professional Fire Fighters and Fairfax Firefighters for their advocacy on behalf of their members to get this done.

Totally worth the drive to experience the eclipse with the kids today!

✅SB 392 signed into law and will ensure that every emergency department will have a physician on site at all times. Virginians deserve the best care, especially in times of acute need.

It’s time to put people over profits in Virginia. Great opinion piece by my colleague ⁦⁦Bill Stanley⁩ on the bipartisan legislation, SB 274, introduced by ⁦Creigh Deeds⁩ this year. It’s time for Governor Glenn Youngkin to sign this important bill cardinalnews.org/2024/04/01/gov…

I implore Governor Glenn Youngkin to sign the bipartisan legislation (HB570 and SB274) to create a Prescription Drug Affordability Board. 1 in 4 Virginians do not take life saving medications because they cannot afford them. We MUST do better.

What a terrible idea that will take Virginia backwards. Coupled with the education cuts in the Governor’s proposed budget, it isn’t too hard to figure out what the end game is here.

University update on pending temporary baseball/cricket stadium | Construction at Mason. Thank you to all residents who engaged with GMU and me to highlight concerns. construction.gmu.edu/news/2024-03/u…

My constituents were very clear about the fact they did not want ANY of their hard earned money funding billionaire projects. Thank you, L. Louise Lucas for your leadership on this issue!
