    Imagine losing your job, looking for help and leadership from your state leaders, only to hear them say this…. Virginians deserve better. They deserve leaders who will fight for them—not ones who say their struggles don’t matter.

    EXCLUSIVE: Virginia GOP Lt. Governor Winsome Earle-Sears says she doesn’t understand why people are upset about jobs being lost in her state due to DOGE and that it 'happens to everybody all the time.'

    Jay Jones clearly won tonight’s Attorney General debate by delivering a strong, forward-looking vision for Virginia — focused on lowering costs, protecting rights, and keeping communities safe. He made clear that this election is about defending our Commonwealth from Donald

    Jim Ryan has worked hard to make UVA an institution where every student, no matter their background, has a shot at success. But Donald Trump rejects the idea of opportunity for all, so he forced him out. That’s not just wrong—it sets an extremely dangerous precedent. Right now,

    Abigail Spanberger is a true fighter for Virginia, and I’m proud to lead a party united behind her. From now until November, we will knock on more doors, make more phone calls, and have more conversations with our neighbors than ever before. We are ready for this moment, we are

    💯correct. We don't ask about Christian donors, Jewish donors, etc. Ok to look at donor funding, but making it faith based is discriminatory and inexcusable. Major fail on the part of the moderator and that was personally conveyed to the moderator tonight after the debate.

    The question asked at tonight’s debate about @Sam_Rasoul’s religion was wrong. No other candidate was asked about their ability to serve all Virginians because of their faith.

    I am honored to be elected as the new Chairman of @vademocrats. Ahead of critical elections this November and beyond, we must continue to champion a bold vision that prioritizes the needs of families, strengthens our communities, and safeguards our freedoms. Let’s get to work.

    Why don’t you stop tweeting and starting giving a damn about SW VA? Your executive order on health care puts lives on the line. #VAGov

    The Democrats in the Southwest part of Virginia have been abandoned by their Party. Republican Ed Gillespie will never let you down!

    Congressman Gerry Connolly embodied what it means to be a true public servant. We will miss him and send our deepest condolences to his family, staff, and those he touched across Virginia and our country.

    A potentially better indicator of Dems '18 fortunes than #GA06? How many seats they pick up in the VA House of Delegates this November.

    The people of Virginia’s 11th Congressional District delivered a clear victory for Congressman-elect @JamesWalkinshaw. His deep Northern Virginia roots and record of service resonated with voters, and his election honors Congressman Gerry Connolly’s legacy of fighting for

    As a kid, I benefited from Head Start — I know how much it matters. Trump’s push to eliminate it shows what’s at stake in Virginia. We need to elect @SpanbergerForVA and Democrats up and down the ballot to protect and create opportunities for every child and family.

    Cutting Head Start means Virginia families lose thousands of dollars, kids go without meals & health care, and our economy takes a hit. Republicans in Congress should be loudly opposing this — but their silence is deafening. axios.com/local/richmond…

    Guns are the #1 killer of kids in Virginia. No child should fear going to school, the store or the mall. No parent should have to live with that fear. @SpanbergerForVA will make Virginia safer & stronger. I was proud to be with her today as @Everytown endorsed her for Governor.
