Using your folksy greeting does not absolve you of lying and misrepresenting the truth about the governor’s EO. Further, using law enforcement to make your point is pure fearmongering. Finally, you used a woman’s brutal death to score political points. Shame on you. Your constituents deserve better.

The Western Henrico Delegation joined @henricodems.bsky.social on Day 1 of early voting for the redistricting amendment!

Vote YES to push back against MAGA attempts to prevent MAGA from facing any accountability.

Vote YES to send a signal that Americans don’t support the Trump agenda.

Who Is Markwayne Mullin, Trump’s Pick for Homeland Security Secretary?

Mullin may not be a cartoon villain like Noem, but his priorities are πŸ’― the same.

We're not fooled. You shouldn't be either.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.

Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

As AI is integrated into telecomm networks, we must address the security and reliability risks.

Today, I introduced the bipartisan AI-Ready Networks Act with Rep. Olbernote to examine AI use in telecommunication networks and the implications for security, reliability and the workforce.

Reproductive healthcare hypocrisy Wittman makes inappropriate medical decisions for his constituents

Do you want Rob Wittman in your doctor's exam room, making decisions for you? Wittman claims your healthcare should be your choice, and then votes against choices for all families. Rob Wittman's hypocrisy is dangerous.

β€œThe Virginia Supreme Court has ruled that the referendum election will proceed, staying the circuit court’s injunction that had temporarily blocked it.

The Court did not decide whether the amendment process was constitutional. Instead, it relied on a long-standing principle in Virginia law: courts generally do not use injunctions to stop elections before they happen. The reasoning goes back over a century β€” elections are considered a political process, and courts typically review their legality after the voters have acted, not before.

The Court cited precedent explaining that even if an election may ultimately be invalid, the judiciary should not prevent people from going to the polls. If the amendment is later adopted, courts can then determine whether the process complied with the Constitution and whether the result is valid.

Importantly, the Court emphasized that the underlying constitutional challenges are still very serious and remain pending. The stay only means the election will occur β€” not that the legal arguments against the process have been rejected.

In short: β€’ The election will go forward. β€’ The constitutional challenges are still alive. β€’ The courts may ultimately decide the validity after the vote occurs.” - Fmr. VA Del. Tim Anderson (R)
