Stopped by to thank our Portsmouth firefighters today. I got my career started working on the second shift at the Shipyard so I always want to recognize those in public safety who are working that second and third shift for all of us!

All workers deserve fair pay, good benefits, and safe working conditions. Labor stands with the Teamsters in their fight for a fair contract, and your International Association of Fire Fighters brothers & sisters are with you! I wouldn’t bet against a Boston guy like Sean M. O'Brien. Do the right thing, UPS.

It saddens 𝘮𝘦 that Newark Mayor Ras J. Baraka hasn’t taken time out of his busy schedule to call the Newark Firefighters Union since two firefighters made the ultimate sacrifice, unlike Governor Murphy and President Biden, who both found the time. (1/3)

Great to be with @BrewerForVa, Senator Bill DeSteph, Virginia Professional Fire Fighters, and VBFD to present the 2023 bill signed by Governor Glenn Youngkin that expanded cancer coverage for Virginia firefighters to Sara and Gus Chiaverotti. The piece was designed and built by VB’s own, Valhalla’s Forge.

Another great day in #VaBeach District 1 supporting David “Chief Hutch” Hutcheson (hutchforcouncil.com) for the January 9th special election. No need to wait…get that voting done early! voter.virginiabeach.gov/elections/earl…

With the 2024 session now underway, I’m grateful for the trust that my colleagues have placed in me. Let’s meet this historic moment, and set our sights on moving Virginia forward.

A good paying union job with benefits is what helped lift me up from a teenage mother to a college graduate with BS & MA degrees to a successful businesswoman and now State Senator. So let it be known; if labor and workers aren't at the table l am not interested in your proposal.

We agree! Portsmouth firefighters and paramedics stand in solidarity with Virginia Beach Professional Fire & EMS, Local 2924

VPFF Statement on Military Survivors and Dependent Education Program: "Our brave men and women in the fire service have served their communities proudly and their families have sacrificed immensely. They deserve these education benefits."
