Charles & Zachary’s dad, Mavis's husband. Running for VA Attorney General to keep them -- and all families -- safe and free. Attorney & former State Delegate.
Hospital-based violence intervention programs are critical in helping survivors recover and preventing future violence. I’ll work to protect these grants for hospitals across Virginia as your next Attorney General. virginiamercury.com/briefs/virgini…
As Attorney General, my top priority will be keeping Virginia families safe. Whether it’s fighting violent crime, cracking down on illegal guns, or protecting Virginia against the Trump administration, I’ll step up to defend families across the Commonwealth.
In Virginia, the average renter comes up 50% short of affording an apartment for their family without being rent-burdened. @JasonMiyaresVA has failed to hold price-gouging landlords accountable. As AG, I’ll fight to make housing more affordable. nlihc.org/sites/default/…
I stand in solidarity with the workers at Norfolk Botanical Garden as they organize with @IAM_Union Local 10. Our unions are critical in making sure that Virginia workers receive the protections, opportunity, and pay they deserve – and a voice to fight for themselves.
My dad would’ve been 71 today - I miss him deeply but I know he’s smiling upon us. I draw strength each day knowing that he’s still my number one fan.

Virginia is the only state where unemployment rose in June – the sixth straight monthly increase. Trump’s federal job cuts are wrecking Virginia’s workforce, and @JasonMiyaresVA is doing nothing to stop it. We need an AG who will fight to protect jobs – not pander to Trump.

As the son of prosecutors, I know how critical it is to support our law enforcement officers – that’s why I helped fund pay raises for officers as a delegate. I’ll continue supporting Virginia’s officers by ensuring they have the resources needed to keep our communities safe.
Wonderful Sunday at Sixth Mount Zion Church celebrating @revtyronenelson's 20th pastoral anniversary.



July is National Park and Recreation Month. One of my favorite Virginia destinations, Shenandoah National Park, is suffering under the Trump administration’s federal layoffs. As Attorney General, I’ll fight to protect our federal workers and our beautiful national parks.
One of the AG's core duties is defending Virginians from federal overreach. Yet while Trump attacks Virginia’s public schools, @JasonMiyaresVA has stood by in silence – failing to protect our children, teachers, and universities. Politics that punishes children is unacceptable.
Couldn’t agree more. Abigail and Ghazala have always put people over politics — and that’s exactly what Virginians deserve. Let’s get to work!
I’m proud to be in this race with @SenatorHashmi and @jonesjay by my side. Our ticket is united and ready to deliver results for Virginians.Together, we’ll build a better future for our Commonwealth.
Trump’s Medicaid cuts pose a “significant threat to rural hospitals” in VA, and @JasonMiyaresVA has rolled over and let it happen. Virginians deserve an AG who will fight for accessible, affordable healthcare – not one focused on political allegiances. pilotonline.com/2025/07/15/med…
Today, we honor the legacy of Congressman John Lewis – a fearless champion for justice and equality whose life embodied courage, conviction, and the power of “good trouble.” We must carry on his fight for justice and his vision for a stronger nation.
This November's elections will decide if Virginians get to enshrine abortion rights in our state constitution. I've fought to expand reproductive rights for women and families, and unlike my anti-abortion opponent, I’ll defend those rights as AG. 19thnews.org/2025/07/virgin…
It's unacceptable that SCOTUS is letting the Trump administration gut the Department of Education. Now more than ever, it's critical that we stand up for our children's education. As AG, I will be at the forefront of the fight for their future. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…
Another day, another lawsuit @JasonMiyaresVA skipped out on at the expense of Virginia families and students. Read my full statement:

Thank you to Gethsemane Community Fellowship Church for having me at this morning's service! Grateful for the warm welcome and honored to speak to the congregation.


Virginians’ sensitive data should be private – period. @JasonMiyaresVA is failing to stand up for Virginians, but I’ll do what he won’t: enforce consumer protections, hold corporations accountable, and defend reproductive freedoms. link.nbcwashington.com/public/4061010… My full statement:

.@JasonMiyaresVA bragged about Virginia being the #1 state for business. Due to his failure to stand up to Donald Trump and protect federal workers, Virginia is now #4. Virginians deserve leadership that doesn’t bend the knee to Trump at their expense. cnbc.com/2025/07/10/vir…
Today, Virginia fell from #1 to #4 in CNBC’s “America’s Top States for Business” – a direct result of federal job cuts that @JasonMiyaresVA did nothing to stop. Miyares needs a reality check: Donald Trump isn’t his boss – Virginians are. Read my full statement:
