Lamont Bagby
@SenBagby
Chairman of the @VaBlackCaucus | Richmond Native & Lifelong Public Servant
Today, as I celebrate 10 years as a member of the Virginia General Assembly, I am thankful for all the folks in Richmond, Henrico, Charles City, and Hanover. It still continues to be an honor to serve!



Today, I donated $3 million in contributions to grow our Democratic majority in the House. If you care about our rights, our economy, and our Commonwealth—get involved. If you can’t give, volunteer. Let’s get to work:
Virginia lost its #1 "State for Business" ranking today — thanks to Trump’s attacks on our federal workers. Virginians deserve a Governor who will stand up to this chaos. My opponent is not that leader.
It is time we had a Governor who will improve our public schools, keep Virginia affordable and protect the progress we have worked so hard for. I am endorsing Abigail Spanberger because she is the candidate who will fight alongside us and deliver for all Virginians.
🥁🥁 Our scorecard is out! The 2025 VAPLAN top most progressive legislators: House: @EBPforVA, @Henson4Virginia, @DelegateCallsen, @AdeleMcClure_ & @ireneshintweets Senate: @SenBagby, @AdamEbbin, @pwcdanica, @CreighDeeds & @ScVanValkenburg 🤩🤩🤩 vaplan.us/its-here-the-2…
Thank you @SenBagby & @Lopez4VA for your bills to protect the jobs of hard-working Virginians. It’s time for the Governor to sign them into law. #WorkerRetention #UnionsForAll
Worker Retention laws protect the jobs of hard-working Virginians! Join Hazel and frontline @SEIU members in calling on Governor Youngkin to sign these critical workplace protections and build an economy that works for all. #UnionsForAll #Solidarity
Since I launched my race for Chair, it’s been an honor to receive the support of dozens of Central Committee members across Virginia. I look forward to engaging with more grassroots leaders as I crisscross the Commonwealth in the coming weeks.



Great to join @DelegateTorian @CandiMundonKing @BrianaSewellVA for their campaign launch! Good to see many from our cmty & fellow electeds/candidates come out @SpeakerDonScott @C_Herring @SenBagby @MarkWarner @SpanbergerForVA @SuhasforVA @YVindman @jonesjay & @guzman4virginia
With no definite day to resume, the 2025 General Assembly Session is wrapped—SINE DIE!
I’m so grateful to have the endorsement of Madame President, @SenLouiseLucas, for DPVA chair. Senator Lucas knows first hand what it takes for Virginia Democrats to fight an extreme administration and win. Having her support is truly an honor.

I’m so grateful for Labor leaders like Doris Crouse-Mays, who has spent her life fighting for working families in our Commonwealth. As Chair, I look forward to working with her to continue to deliver for working Virginians.

Proud to have @royermattw’s support in my race for @vademocrats Chair. As President of @VAYD , Matt has strengthened relationships with DPVA and has fought to elect Democrats across the Commonwealth. I look forward to working with him as Chair.

I’m honored to have these amazing leaders across the Commonwealth standing with me in my campaign for DPVA Chair.

Reporters want to cover stories about who is fighting with who because it gets more readers than what we are fighting for together. Better school funding. Great jobs in our communities. A cleaner environment. Public Safety. We will never let anyone distract us.
There is too much at stake in this year's election to be divided. We need to be united in our mission. 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗩𝗶𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗮! I proudly endorse @SenBagby for DPVA Chair. Join us and let's win together!
Senator Bagby is built for this! He’s put in the work for Virginia, and we need him leading Dems to keep the House and take back the Governor’s Mansion. Let’s get it!
I am excited to announce my candidacy for Chair of the Democratic Party of Virginia. Now more than ever, we need to be united in our mission to retake the Governor’s Mansion, expand our House majority, and push back on the extreme, chaotic agenda we are seeing in Washington.
Thank you @SusanRSwecker for your leadership as Chair of @vademocrats! Looking to the future, I am proud to support @SenBagby as our next DPVA Chair. From the Henrico School Board to the General Assembly to chairing the @VaBlackCaucus, I trust Lamont Bagby to lead. Join me!
.@SenBagby has been a tremendous partner from his days on the Henrico School Board to the House of Delegates to the Virginia Senate. I’m thrilled to endorse him to chair the @vademocrats, and I hope you join me!
