Judge Newman, who has spent most of his life in Arlington, VA, recalls being a child during segregation, then desegregation, the hard-fought and incremental steps toward integration, and the work… "We Kept Fighting" - Hon. William T. Newman, Jr. at Spirit 2023

We lost today a great Arlingtonian and a public servant, who 'kept fighting' to make our #ArlingtonVA the progressive, inclusive, just and compassionate community we are today : The Honorable Judge William T. Newman Jr.. He may rest in peace. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rn50...

Thank you for hosting another great Chili Cookoff, and for the honor of the Best Veggie Chili award!

I had a great Labor Day weekend — starting at the NoVA Labor Picnic on Sunday and finishing at the @arlingtondems Chili Cookoff yesterday. It was a reminder that the labor movement has always been about dignity, fairness, and opportunity — values we must defend and strengthen.

The fight for attainable housing is not over. I’m committed to preserving affordability, protecting tenants, and making sure everyone in Arlington has a secure and attainable place to call home. 🏡

I’m working to build a safer, more connected Arlington, with better sidewalks, bike trails, and reliable public transit. Infrastructure should serve the people who use it every day—and that means putting safety, access, and sustainability first!

I’m proud to be endorsed by NoVA Labor and IBEW for my strong record of supporting workers, good jobs, and a thriving local economy. From championing small businesses to advancing workforce development, Arlington’s success starts with protecting the people who move us forward! 🤝🛠️

‼️This event has been postponed for a later day in August! Be on the lookout for more details as we continue our support for attainable housing.

I’m honored to be endorsed by the Sierra Club for my commitment to environmental sustainability & climate resilience. Arlington is far ahead of schedule in implementing our climate plan. I am committed to protecting the health of our communities & environment! 🌳🌎

The fight for attainable housing is not over. Join us, July 30th, as we raise crucial funds for Takis’s re-election campaign to the Arlington County Board, supporting a proven leader who has consistently stood up for community-centered housing policies. RSVP: secure.actblue.com/donate/takis...
