Ghazala Hashmi

It was an honor to spend this beautiful Sunday morning joining church services across Petersburg alongside Sheriff Vanessa Crawford.

I am so grateful to have the support of union brothers and sisters in VA @aflcio.org, @afscme.bsky.social, UA Local 10, @teamsters.bsky.social Local 322, @ufcw400.org , and @cwaunion.bsky.social Local 2201.

Kicked off the weekend with VA AFL-CIO President Doris Crouse-Mays, AFSCME Secretary-Treasurer Elissa McBride, and Delegate Destiny LeVere Bolling for an energetic canvass launch.

It was an honor to have @gabbygiffords.bsky.social in Virginia today for a canvass kick off with @scvanvalkenburg.bsky.social and @maynivar.com. Her fight to end gun violence continues to inspire us every day.

As we approach sundown, I wish all who are celebrating Yom Kippur across the Commonwealth a meaningful observance. G'mar chatima tova.

As lieutenant governor, I will always stand up to the Trump administration in defense of all Virginians.

In case you missed it, our campaign was featured in the Richmond Times-Dispatch yesterday! From day one, our campaign has been focused on our hope for a stronger, more affordable, and more resilient Virginia full of opportunity. richmond.com/news/state-r...

Had a blast this morning in Portsmouth at the Fish Bowl Classic Parade with Sen. Louise Lucas, @donscott757.bsky.social and @abigailspanberger.com!

As lieutenant governor, I will be serious about naming the challenges ahead of us and finding real solutions to ensure health care is accessible and affordable. (3/3)

As the Chair of the Senate Education and Health Committee and as the Vice Chair of the Joint Commission on Health Care, I have been on the forefront of the conversations at the state level to ensure every Virginian gets the care they need and deserve. (2/3)

This morning, I met with health care experts to discuss how to lead our state through the crises and uncertainties our health care system is facing. (1/3)

On World Contraception Day, a reminder that I will never stop fighting for women to have access to safe and legal health care. While I wrote the bill protecting contraception access, my opponent said he would’ve voted against protecting reproductive health care.

I am focused on responding to the looming crisis facing our rural communities due to devastating health care funding cuts. John Reid is not ready to handle this crisis seriously or be honest with Virginians.

I’m proud to have not received this endorsement for our campaign today. Thank you to everyone else for all of the support!

Wishing a sweet new year to everyone observing Rosh Hashanah across Virginia!

Had a wonderful time meeting with Virginians in Williamsburg last night. It’s thanks to supporters like you that we’re going to bring new leadership to the Commonwealth this November.

I had a blast kicking off early voting with @abigailspanberger.com and @jameswalkinshaw.bsky.social in Fairfax this afternoon. Virginians are fired up to elect Democrats up and down the ballot this year!

Virginia, today is the first day of early voting! Make a plan to make your voice heard at iwillvote.com/va

Love to see the enthusiasm out there. Thank you for your support Virginia!

While John Reid spends his days spewing hate-filled rhetoric and extremist lies all across the Commonwealth, I am focused on solving problems for working families and improving the lives of all Virginians.

On talk show, John Reid said patients coming to Virginia for abortions is like slave trade Reid, the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor, repeated lies about abortion on his Richmond radio show.

I am appalled that John Reid compared abortion rights to slavery while on the radio. virginiaindependentnews.com/elections/20...

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to share my vision for the Commonwealth with the Virginia Sheriffs' Association in Virginia Beach. I will always support better wages and good benefits for our local law enforcement.

The Trump administration’s disastrous bill, which my opponent supported, is harming Virginians and our economy. We need new leaders who are ready to protect the services that improve the lives of all Virginians — from health care to public education.

Today, I met with public education leaders and parents in Norfolk to discuss protecting public education.

While my opponent touts plans to cut public school funding, I will always fight to ensure every child across the Commonwealth has the resources they need to succeed.

I am so grateful for the unprecedented grassroots momentum fueling our campaign. With your support, I can continue communicating my vision for the future: lowering costs, fully funding public education, and ensuring access to affordable health care.

We’re 50 days away from Election Day, Virginia! From day one, our campaign has been focused on what matters most to Virginians: fully funding education, protecting health care access, and lowering costs for families.

I am honored to have received the endorsement of the @vablackcaucus.bsky.social. I look forward to being a partner to the Caucus in ensuring every person across the Commonwealth has access to opportunity and can enjoy an affordable and just Virginia.

Hoy es el primer día del Mes de la Herencia Hispana, un momento para celebrar las ricas culturas y las invaluables contribuciones de Latinos e Hispanoamericanos en Virginia y en todo el país.
