Excited to be in Richmond for my first meeting of Virginia’s #Blockchain Advisory Commission today. As this technology evolves, it’s critical we craft smart, forward-looking policy that promotes business innovation, protects consumers, & positions VA as a national leader. #VALeg
Great day on the doors in SD-31! I was elected to show up, listen & do. Today I got to remind folks of one of the most important things they can do: #vote! Happy to support @SpanbergerForVA @MartyForUs @McAuliff4VA @SenatorHashmi @jonesjay 💪🗳️ #PublicService #VoterEngagement

While the House of Representatives considers the US Senate's version of their reconciliation bill, a reminder that many of its provisions will be devastating for so many Virginians:

Congratulations to my good friend @jonesjay on his victory tonight in the Dem AG primary! ⚖️ Proud to have supported you from the start & excited to work together to get this across the finish line. Virginians deserve an AG who will fight for them and stand up to Donald Trump.

Grateful to see so many people getting out and engaged in peaceful protest today. In a democracy, the voice of the people is the power that matters most. 🇺🇸🗽 #WeThePeople
Threatening public servants—let alone targeting them and their families with deadly violence—isn’t just criminal. It’s antithetical to democracy, regardless of your political views. the-sun.com/news/14479568/…
