It was so wonderful to attend Art on the Avenue and celebrate its 30th anniversary and honor Pat Miller with local, state, and federal commendations! I'm so grateful to all vendors and artists for their participation and our community for attending this weekend.

Today, we remember the tragedy of 9/11 and honor those whose lives were taken too soon, many from our community. While we can never repay the sacrifices, their heroism will never be forgotten. We will never forget.

I'm excited to be endorsed by the Save the Children Action Network! Expanding access to quality early childhood care and education and reducing childhood food insecurity are two of my top priorities and I look forward to working together on these issues.

This weekend, I was thrilled to join labor leaders, colleagues, neighbors, and friends across Northern Virginia to celebrate Labor Day! Workers power our economy and deserve the right to unionize, bargain, and have a safe workplace.

Today, I went to Richmond for the Heating and Cooling Building Code Study Group meeting where we discussed how to improve the Building Code to address residents' concerns around heating and cooling requirements. It was a fitting day to discuss air conditioning!

I also wanted to highlight the amazing Alexandria City High School students I met at the rally who organize with Students Demand Action. Ruby's speech was inspiring and helped ground me in the importance of this work.

I'm excited that @abigailspanberger.com has included my proposal to protect and preserve affordable housing in her housing agenda! My bill to address VA's critical housing crisis has been vetoed two years in a row by Gov. Youngkin and I can't wait to elect a Governor who will sign and champion it.
