Thank you, Virginia, for the immense honor bestowed upon me to serve as your next Lieutenant Governor.
This moment belongs to every Virginian who believes that our politics must be more hopeful, more inclusive, and more compassionate.

@ltgovhashmi
43rd Lieutenant Governor of Virginia. Former State Senator for Virginia’s 15th Senatorial District.
- I am deeply honored by your words, Secretary Clinton. You broke so many glass ceilings for women in public service.Replying to @HillaryClintonI also want to shout out @Hashmi4Va, the first Muslim woman elected to the VA State Senate. As she said yesterday, her victory "belongs to all of you who believed that we needed to make progressive change here in Virginia, for all of you who felt that you haven’t had a voice."
- Today we sent a message that the status quo is no longer accepted. Thank you all for your support and passion in helping me become the next state Senator for Virginia’s 10th District! I couldn’t be more honored to be apart of the change to come for Virginia.
- I have lived in Virginia for over 30 years; my daughters were born and raised right here in Richmond. I am not surprised — but will not be deterred — by the bigotry from our Governor. Ghazala Hashmi is an American name. On Tuesday, we will show him what Virginia stands for.Replying to @margaretbarthelQuite a bit of anti-Hashmi rhetoric tonight, not just from John Reid, who said she was funded by the “radical Islamists” supporting Zohran Mamdani. Youngkin just said he wants Spanberger “to just go home,” but as for Hashmi, “I don’t even want her in the state.”
- I’m honored to be our Democratic nominee for Lieutenant Governor.
- Spotted on my drive up I95 today. Character matters.
- She’s been a consistent advocate for working Americans and a fighter for equity & social justice. Senator Elizabeth Warren is the leader we need. I’m excited to endorse & support Elizabeth! @TeamWarren @ewarren @Virginia4Warren
- "One Florida is enough": a video worth watching.The forces fighting democracy are strong and powerful, so when we get a chance to fight back, we take it. Next up…#Virginia
00:00 - I’m proud to have not received this endorsement for our campaign today. Thank you to everyone else for all of the support!
- The resignation of President Jim Ryan is a deeply troubling escalation in the partisan campaign against higher education. Read my full statement: bit.ly/0627UVAPR
- The 10% raise touted by Youngkin in @jaketapper town hall was in Governor Northam's outgoing biennium budget and pushed by Virginia Democrats.
00:00- If @GlennYoungkin did not authorize his Team to attack a HS student in this disgraceful manner, he should apologize immediately to @ethanclynne, remove this post, and fire his Comms staff. This graceless posture of bullying a minor reflects poorly on the Office of the Governor.
- Today, @VASenateDems defeated discriminatory GOP legislation that targeted transgender students and put divisive barriers around what can be taught in Virginia’s schools. We will always fight to make Virginia a safe, welcoming, and nurturing place for all.
