It was such a honor to host an event for the next Governor of Virginia, Abigail Spanberger.
She’s a 🌟: former CIA agent βœ… UVA grad βœ… Former US Rep who flipped Eric Cantor’s old seat βœ… Super smart βœ… Wife and Mom of 3 girls βœ…
I have learned a new fact: she's also a lot of fun!

This is fantastic news! Bob Trammell is a terrific lawyer, and I know he will stand for the rights of all Georgians.

It was my distinct honor to be invited to participate in
@lucymcbath.com's Gun Violence Awareness Month Panel. Gun violence prevention is a big priority of mine, and there is much work to do to make our state safer. Thank you Rep. McBath, Rep. Au, Dr. Randi Smith, and Brent Bailey.

It was an honor to speak at today’s groundbreaking of the transformational Village at Legacy in Decatur. This is an incredible milestone in our shared effort to build a more inclusive and sustainable community. Big thanks to the City of Decatur and the Decatur Housing Authority.

The obvious message was:

Any violence toward those protesting Trump’s wanna-be dictatorship or his political opponents is acceptable, just like Jan 6th. Add in the paranoia encouraged on the right and the bazillion guns Republicans have given us=🧨

Another example: Kyle Rittenhouse. 2/2

Violence re: #NoKingsProtests was incited by Proud Boys & others; Trump’s spokespeople did not condemn it and instead deflected by talking about the Los Angeles protests. 1/2

I am deeply disturbed and saddened by the targeted killings of Rep Melissa Hartman and husband, and shooting of Sen. Hoffman and wife, in a politically motivated attack. The assassin will be brought to justiceβ€” but Americans need to speak with ONE voice denouncing the murders.

I am proud to serve as a panelist at @mcbath.house.gov's Gun Violence Awareness Month Panel Discussion. This issue is heavy on my heart always, and I am excited to share about our work around gun violence prevention at the state Capitol.

Just cast my vote for Peter Hubbard for District 3 Public Service Commissioner in the Democratic Primary! Early voting ends tomorrow and all precincts will be open for voting on Tuesday, June 17th! πŸ—³οΈ #gapol

Georgia Democrats - It seems unlikely that Daniel Blackman, who I endorsed in the #PublicServiceCommission primary, will be a qualified candidate.

Moving right along! I’ll be voting for @PeterHubbardGA in the primary. Vote early this week or June 17! βœ… #gapol

GA GOP politicians passed a draconian six-week abortion ban and now disclaim responsibility for the tragic predicament of #AdrianaSmith. But I’m here to tell you - watch what they do, not what they say. This is exactly what they intended. @gasenatedems.com #gapol #abortionban

So grateful to my team for helping  me throughout the 2025 Legislative Session. I am blessed to have the best legislative team in the Capitol! Chief of Staff Ellen Williams, Legislative Assistant Paige Terhune, legal intern Albert Giovanazzi, and our college interns Kai Ward and Lauren Peterson! 

The Senate adjourned Sine Die three hours early last night.  Fine by meβ€” more than enough bad bills had already made it across the finish line, along with some good ones. 

Stay tuned for our recap of the Good, the Bad and the Ugly for 2025.  On to 2026!

Have always been a fan of your work @jamellebouie.net This video was edited and the comments shared are a gross misrepresentation of my decade plus record of supporting the transgender community - youth and adults. I invite you to contact my office to discuss further.

Here we go again...forcing a particular group of people's standards on librarians so that schools have to spend money defending freedom of speech and their honest efforts to encourage kids to read instead of putting money into what people want and kids need most - safe, well-resourced schools.

For 21 session days, not a single Democratic bill has been heard in committee. That's 21 out of 40 days where the GOP has blocked your elected officials from lowering everyday costs, or investing in our children, and their public education. Simply put, this is obstruction. #gapol

Giving taxpayer dollars to the gun lobby and NOT granting a hearing to our Safe Storage Bill, SB49, is a tone deaf, irresponsible and reprehensible. #SafeStorage
