Thank you to the Richmond Crusade for Voters for 70 years of making democracy work, fighting voter suppression, and strengthening the voice of Black Virginians Your work is more important now than ever, because the only way we’re going to protect our right to vote is to exercise our right to vote

No wonder they don’t want people to vote

Here's the difference a Democratic majority makes. ✅ We saved pensions. ✅ We cut child poverty. ✅ We lowered health insurance premiums. ✅ We made historic investments in education and infrastructure. It's up to us to make sure Democrats get elected. Let's do what we know how to do.

Taking back the House starts with work like this. Newport News Dems are registering voters, knocking doors and getting people to the polls. Every race matters. This is how we win a Democratic majority that protects our rights and holds this administration accountable.

I’m proud to stand with Elaine Luria, and with Virginia General Assembly Democrats fighting for working families here at home. Early voting is underway. 31 days to go. Let’s do what we know how to do!

I was also thrilled to see my friend and trailblazer, the Honorable L. Douglas Wilder honored last evening during the 2026 Phoenix Awards Dinner, an event that celebrates the legacies and contributions of our community’s luminaries

What an incredible atmosphere this weekend at the 55th Annual CBCF Legislative Conference! The event brings together elected officials, policymakers, advocates and students for discussions about how effective public policy can remedy many of the issues that affect our communities

Early voting is now underway! The energy that is circulating is encouraging, but now it’s time to turn that energy into action It’s increasingly clear that efforts are being planned to deprive citizens from exercising their right to vote

Great seeing Hampton Roads’ Democrats show up to support Delegate Cliff Hayes’ Blue Sunday Crescendo, where Dr. Karen C. Earls was honored and awards were presented to several community leaders

I was also extremely proud to receive the Citizen of the Year Award last evening during the 35th Annual Southeast Community Day Presidential Reception Thanks to the organizers for giving me this tremendous honor

The Southeast Community Day Parade is an institution in City of Newport News and a rite of passage for marching band members, performers and many of our young people It was to great see the community come together today for this 35th edition of an annual late summer tradition

Now, it’s time to get to work to ensure that the right candidates are elected to fight for lower prices, voting rights, strong labor protections and a functioning U.S. Department of Education Early voting begins in 10 days I hope you will join me in casting your vote

I’m appreciative for the great attendance yesterday at my Annual Labor Day Cookout Its such an honor to host an event that allows voters an opportunity to hear directly from candidates and have meaningful face to face conversations with the elected officials who represent them

I stopped by the Norfolk Democrats breakfast to invite them to my Labor Day Cookout on Monday and thank them for the work they are doing to elect Democratic candidates up and down the ticket in November!

I had an opportunity to attend birthday celebrations today for two pillars of our community, Betty Koonce Johnson and former Norfolk Councilman Randy Wright Thank you both for your many contributions and years of sacrifice

Mamie Locke’s Southern Style Luau is one of the best events on the summer calendar There was a great turnout to show appreciation for our esteemed chair of the Virginia Senate Democratic Caucus

I had such a great time surprising my friend and legendary local news anchor Don Roberts at his birthday party Thanks Don for your incredible professional career, service to our community, friendship and support
