Yesterday, I was excited to see two of my housing bills pass the House floor! These bills will help preserve affordable housing and help Virginians remain housed during times of financial hardship. Thanks to all who have supported these bills for their dedication and advocacy.

I'm honored to receive the Gun Sense Candidate distinction. From keeping firearms out of the hands of domestic abusers to banning assault weapons and more, I'll always advocate for commonsense gun safety reforms. Thank you @momsdemandaction.org and @everytown.org for your advocacy.

Thanks to all who participated in today’s Democratic firehouse primary for HD-5. A special thanks to ADC volunteers who have worked so hard to organize and administer last week and today. I know it’s been a lot for voters across HD-5/SD-39 and look forward to improving the law around this process.

This morning, I had two bills pass out of subcommittee. One would create training materials on celiac for restaurants. The other would require families to be notified if an organ is retained after an autopsy. Both bills were brought to me by constituents and I am so grateful for their advocacy.

This morning, I was thrilled to have my bill to provide free breakfast for all VA public school students pass out of subcommittee unanimously! Children cannot learn if they are hungry. This bill is an investment in the health of our kids, our families, and our education system.

It has been an incredible first day of session! We were sworn in, then we reelected @donscott757.bsky.social as Speaker and recessed to pass our 4 constitutional amendments out of committee. We then passed them on the floor, and we will pass them out of Senate Privileges and Elections tonight!

Thank you SD-39 Democrats! I am thankful to democrats across Alexandria, Arlington and Fairfax for placing their trust in me today, and I am excited to get back to Richmond and serve our community. I am looking forward to working on our shared priorities: lowering costs for families, funding our schools, standing up for our rights against Trump and MAGA extremists, protecting our communities from gun violence, and preserving access to our health care choices.

I am especially thankful for the volunteers who knocked doors, made calls, greeted at the polls and worked hard for this campaign in the last few days. I also want to thank the volunteers who jumped into action, staffed locations and counted ballots. Our democracy is stronger when more people participate. Finally, I want to thank the other candidates for stepping up and their willingness to serve in this election.
