Democrat for Virginia's 41st House District. Roanoke Valley native. 🐶 mom to Poppy. Former teacher. Fighting bullies of all types 🥊
Big news: I’m running for Virginia’s 41st District! Last year, we were just 183 votes away from flipping this seat. It was the second-closest race in Virginia. This year, our coalition is stronger than ever. I'm joined in my vision of a brighter Virginia by Speaker…
Thank you to everyone who donated to help folks affected by the Russell county floods, but we can’t rely on donations alone. As a legislator, one of my top priorities will be to ensure SWVA gets the funding it needs to fully fund disaster relief and resiliency efforts.
Endorsement Alert 🚨🚨🚨 Today, we’re proud to support 13 champions running in must-win races to expand the gun safety majority in the Virginia House of Delegates. More than 1,200 Virginians die by gun violence each year. These leaders have the courage and vision to fight this…
Lily wants everyone to have access to affordable, safe, stable housing. And I would like a big backyard to chase rabbits in! #poppyspolicies
Great to start the weekend in Blacksburg with @LilyForDelegate and so many dedicated volunteers who are fired up about her and all of our great candidates up and down the ballot. Lily loves her native SWVA and is the kind of force for good we need representing House District 41.
As @SenTimKaine said “All eyes are on Virginia.” And in 41, it’s not just our neighbors counting on us—it’s folks across the commonwealth. Thanks to the volunteers who are with us every weekend, and those who joined us for the first time today! We’re going to win because of YOU!
"But she does seem like the type of candidate who would put in the legwork, knock on doors, make as many calls as she has to." wvtf.org/news/2025-07-0… And don't worry, I am doing the work. Wanna join? We'll be knocking with @timkaine this Saturday. mobilize.us/mobilize/event…
You never know what you’ll find while knocking doors for @LilyForDelegate
🇺🇲 Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇲 Here’s to community, freedom, and the ongoing work of building a better future together.
When I was a teacher, and growing up going to public school, I saw firsthand the struggles kids and families experienced. Wednesday we hosted a forum to discuss how we can improve our public education system. Thanks to everyone who participated and @reedgalen for moderating!
Yesterday, on the 3 year anniversary of the Dobbs decision, I hit the road to join a repro rights rally in Charlottesville organized by @PPAVirginia. It was great to be with our next Gov, @SpanbergerForVA, and candidates who will expand our majority in the House of Delegates!
When I ran in 2023 @SpanbergerForVA was always my number one supporter. I’m honored to join her and @SenatorHashmi here in Blacksburg! Thank you to everyone who came out to join us (despite the heat). We’re going to win in Nov. because of hard work from folks like you!
Blacksburg, thank you for beating the heat to join @SenatorHashmi, @LilyForDelegate, and myself today! Lily Franklin has been a strong voice for her community in Southwest Virginia — and this November, we're going to send her to the House of Delegates.
Excited to join @SpanbergerForVA and @LilyForDelegate in Blacksburg today for our first office opening of the coordinated campaign! Southwest Virginia is ready for new statewide leadership!
See you on Monday! mobilize.us/spanbergerforg…
Proud to be running alongside @SpanbergerForVA @jonesjay to bring new leadership to Virginia! Thank you to @MarkWarner @RepMcClellan for joining us in this critical effort as well.
“We’re not going to sugarcoat it: HD-41 is one of the most important races in Virginia, and we can’t afford to sit it out,” -@ArlingtonYDs president Bryant Atkins Virginians accross the state are fired up to flip HD-41! arlnow.com/2025/06/20/arl…
Happy Juneteenth! Today we celebrate freedom, culture, and the strength of our community. As we celebrate Black history and progress, we also recommit to the work still ahead. #HappyJuneteenth #BlackHistory #EquityandJustice
Last night made it clear—Virginia is ready for change. This is a ticket committed to fighting for Virginians. Congratulations @SenatorHashmi and @jonesjay. Let's win this thing!
Congratulations to @SenatorHashmi and @jonesjay on their nominations to serve as Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General! From now until November, we are going to work hard to earn Virginians’ trust — and their votes — in this election as one united Democratic ticket.
