Thank you @SenDaveMarsden for bringing more of a focus to strengthening rural communities! This new subcommittee is a great way to engage our community that often feels left behind.
Thank you @SenDaveMarsden for bringing more of a focus to strengthening rural communities! This new subcommittee is a great way to engage our community that often feels left behind.
Gun violence has long plagued too many communities across our Commonwealth. Today I stopped in Blacksburg to talk to local leaders and students about the gun violence epidemic. There's more we can and must do to end gun violence and keep people safe.
Super Tuesday may be over but we are still hard at work towards SWVAYD2024! We are incredibly thrilled to have one of our own and one of our amazing 2023 candidates from the area, Lily Franklin. Lily has been an champion in SWVA and we cannot wait to hear from her in Roanoke!
It’s assumed that representatives of different parties and different regions are divided on policy, but we understand the rich diversity of our rural communities. That’s why we’re pushing for a new Secretary of Rural Affairs. cardinalnews.org/2024/01/22/our…
Today is one of my favorite days – Election Day! In Virginia, we have more elections than seasons, so luckily, I get many favorite days. Southside, your voice matters—head to the polls before 7 pm and be a part of the change! Vote for @_Councilwoman!
Good morning, SOUTHSIDE! It’s time to vote! Polls are open now through 7 PM

We might have the majority, but everything ain’t hunky dory in VA Democrat land. If we don’t start valuing the voices of Dems across the whole Commonwealth, not just those from the NOVA, RVA, and Hampton Roads, ‘21’s failure will look like child’s play. dailykos.com/stories/2023/1…
Deep dive from @CardinalNewsVA on our race ⬇️ A statewide path to victory for Democrats must include Southwest Virginia. Luckily, we have a roadmap for how to do it. Let’s take our lessons learned in 2023 as we head into next year’s elections.

A few takeaways and lessons from our campaign for HD-41 via @bluevirginia bluevirginia.us/2023/12/hd41-d…
This tweet is limited to 180 characters - 3 shy of the # of votes I lost by. I can’t thank folks enough for all the support our campaign received in the last year. (More to come on that later!) One thing is for sure: HD-41 refused to be overlooked. We’ll keep fighting in SWVA
Updated on HD-41: We’re withholding statements about the outcome of our race until ALL the ballots are counted. Unofficial results show there are more than 2,000 provisional ballots, uncured mail ballots & unreturned mail ballots in the two counties that HD-41 covers. Stay tuned!
Don't forget to VOTE today! Polls are open until 7 PM, so make sure you're in line by then at your correct precinct. Make a plan before it's too late! Visit LilyForDelegate.com/StudentsVote for info!
BIG MO here in SWVA SD4 @twhiteboyd for Senate HD41 @LilyForDelegate Let’s bring the Economic BOOM #VOTE tomorrow 6am-7pm

Please welcome the new Executive Committee for the Young Dems at Virginia Tech for the 2024/25 school year! This young and dedicated group is filled with so much energy and they are more than ready to reelect President Biden and VP Harris this November! 🦃
When a #Democrat runs on tax relief, your party viciously attacks and lies about them. Fortunately, the money y’all spent lying about #Democrats in SWVA cost you majorities in both legislative chambers and saved reproductive rights in the Commonwealth
Who’s fighting for the #littleguy? Not the #radicalleft Look at the car tax, the RGGI riders on your power bills, gas prices, property tax bills, meals tax increases…death by a thousand cuts and the #democrats want even more taxes…@GovernorVA is fighting for all families
Was so great to join @VAYD this weekend in📍Roanoke VA for their convention and talk with young organizers from across the commonwealth about the importance of the #youthvote to our success in VA and across the country this November!🗳️🥳
Today, we’re honoring the lives of the 32 Hokies who were tragically taken from their loved ones and the Virginia Tech community on April 16, 2007. On the 2024 Day of Remembrance, we reflect on the tremendous promise each of them embodied for our world. #VTWeRemember 🧡
As I’ve said before I am so excited to continue serving my region and @VAYD! We’ve got a great list of VAYD officers and chairs ready to get at it. You can tell it’s going to be one hell of a good year as we work hard to re-elect Tim Kaine, Joe Biden, and our other candidates!
