    Yesterday, I spoke about the Governor's vetoes of commonsense gun violence prevention bills. The majority of Virginians support our bills to ensure safe storage & disarm violent abusers. Virginians demand action and we will continue fighting for them.

    My first bill passed the Senate today and is on its way to the Governor's desk! HB450 prohibits non-electric vehicles from parking in EV charging spaces. 📸 @AdamEbbin

    That face you make when you hug Madam President Pro Tempore, @SenLouiseLucas, who has been a champion of criminal justice reform, marijuana legislation, and has thrown so many bad pieces of legislation in the trash can this year. Happy #LouiseLucasDay!

    Headed back to Richmond for our special session tomorrow. I’m grateful to have an @Amtrak station in my district. I can’t always make the schedules work, but it’s been great when I can.

    Thank you @VP Kamala Harris for coming to Richmond to discuss reproductive rights this weekend. @VAHouseDems and @VASenateDems made Virginia a safe haven for abortion care; we are fighting to keep it that way and to continue to expand access.
