    WOW - Virginia Republicans just voted to continue to allow personal use of campaign funds. I’m betting most people just assumed this was illegal.

    52 GOP just voted to keep a prohibition on gay marriage in VA’s Constitution. 2 days after voting against protecting teachers ability to teach about the Supreme Court ruling that recognized gay marriage. Apparently they don’t believe Virginia is for Lovers.

    I want to thank the President- ⁦@BarackObama⁩ - for the largest pay raise in military pay in the past 10 years. And also, for not lying about military pay.

    If you ever wonder whether elections matter, here’s the sign that just went up on the park by my house because we flipped Virginia and then we passed a bill that allows localities to keep firearms off public property

    My name is Dan Helmer. I am a veteran, father, and proud Virginia Delegate. Last week, we flipped the Virginia Legislature blue, and today, I am proud to announce that I will be running for Congress to keep Virginia's 10th Congressional District blue.

    Struck by reporting that Judge Amy Barrett did not wear a mask while meeting with the President, Senators, and senior White House officials. Does that reflect the judgment of someone who should sit on the Supreme Court?

    In Afghanistan, we wore body armor because Al Qaeda & the Taliban carried AK47s. You shouldn’t need body armor to shop at Walmart. We’re ready for leadership who will fight for change. #EnoughIsEnough #DaytonShooting #ElPasoShooting #HD40

    Wow - I miss the days (was it only a month ago) when Virginia had an Attorney General who thought that women ought to be treated equally under the law.

    .@GlennYoungkin wrote Day 1 “We must equip our teachers to teach our students the entirety of our history – both good and bad.” GOP just voted against teaching 3/5 Compromise. Literally in the Constitution. Patriots fought to change that So much for teaching history #TeachTruth

    SB 739 passed. Ends ability of school boards to employ public health measures to combat COVID. Like everyone, I hate wearing a mask. I do it because I hate prospect of harming others more. As a parent of 2 public school students & husband of a teacher, I'm deeply saddened.

    My wife has a heart condition that means she could die if pregnant. She & every other Virginia woman deserve the right to choose. Supreme Court will overturn Roe & the clock is ticking. Thank you @TheLastWord & @CapehartJ for having me on to discuss how Democrats must act now.

    No one, not even the President, is above the law. We need to elect leaders who will stand up to him and fight for our progressive values. #VA10

    52 Republicans just voted to put thousands of Virginians in medical bankruptcy. Every Virginian should be able to afford healthcare.
