Today we honor Women's Equality Day — celebrating the 19th Amendment and the generations of women who fought for the right to vote. Proud to celebrate the progress we have made and continue the fight for equality.

Honored to attend the powerful women’s summit celebrating leadership, resilience, and the incredible impact women are making in our communities and beyond. Today in VA, there are more elected women delegates in the House than there are Republicans. Diversity and representation matter!

Come run with me as I talk about how we’re stopping Trump's billionaire buddies from buying elections in Virginia and making sure our democracy works for everyone.

When Trump tried to rewrite the history of January 6, I knew something needed to be done.

That’s why I passed a bill to make sure Virginia students learn the truth: it was a violent attack on our democracy by MAGA insurrectionists.

When they’re not redirecting planes to put out forest fires near their homes at taxpayer expense, they’re lying to us about their own policies.

Trump’s people will do anything to make their own rules apply to everyone but themselves.

“I was in my bedroom,” OPM director Scott Kupor said in an all-hands meeting this week. “I was trying to find something that was not recognizable as being in my house, basically.”

Trump said his insane war with Iran would make America “safer,” but all it’s done is make gas more expensive and life harder for working families.

I opposed this war from the start because I knew Virginians would pay the price.

President Donald Trump promised in June and July that gasoline prices would soon drop significantly.

No one should have to fear being blackmailed with the threat of having their private images shared.

I’m proud to have co-patroned legislation to crack down on sexual extortion.

Trump’s reckless war in Iran has made Americans less safe, driven up prices, and put American troops in harm’s way.

I opposed this war from the start because I knew it would make us less safe. Now, Trump is trying to rewrite the truth about what this war has cost us.

We have a duty to protect our kids from harm, whether it’s preventable diseases, Trump’s out-of-control ICE agents, gun violence, or Republican attacks on the programs working families rely on.

Our kids and our country deserve better than Trump and MAGA Republicans' insanity.

Trump and RFK Jr. are making it harder to protect kids from preventable diseases - but Virginia is fighting back.

I’m proud to have joined fellow Democrats in the GA and Abigail Spanberger in passing legislation to protect access to childhood vaccines and keep our kids safe.
