J.D. Vance is holding a rally in the New River Valley at the same time as our annual Demolition Derby on Monday. Folks, that’s just bad advance work. And it’s something he would’ve known to avoid if he was actually from Appalachia 🤷‍♂️

The #USPS is more effective than a privatized mail system because the USPS is interested in serving ALL Americans. A private system would abandon rural parts of our country where companies couldn’t turn a profit. #SaveThePostOffice

U.S. Postal Service warns it could run out of money by October

Postmaster General says the agency is facing a "devastating" drop in business due to the coronavirus pandemic.

There's more to Appalachia than JD Vance's version. When outsiders like him exploit our region, we pick up the pieces. Appalachia is rich in resilience, strength, and community. We pull together and rebuild repeatedly, but we deserve advocates who truly understand and uplift us.

Dark money epitomized: the day before Youngkin accepted $1M from an unknown LLC, an LLC of the same name was incorporated in Delaware (a hot spot for LLC registration bc no state income tax) with a registered agent, so the name of the $1M donor would be hidden from view.

I'm delighted to join some of my outstanding Blacksburg Town Council colleagues in endorsing former Blacksburg resident @AaronRouseVA for Lieutenant Governor! Sure, I wish he had played ball for @williamandmary , but I know he'll be a fighter for Southwest Virginia 💪

It was a treat to chat with the Hokies Vote Caucus last night! This group of students is focused on improving voter education and increasing voter registration on campus. As always, our student population is one of the best things about our town! Keep up the great work, Hokies!

Our incredible Senator @TimKaine gave remarks last night after the 2024 Virginia State Democratic Party Convention and endorsed the Freedom to Vote Act & the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Many thanks, Senator – as you said last night, “We stand up for others.”

There’s nothing in the rule book that says a dog can’t be Speaker of the House (bc the House can’t pass a rules package until it elects a Speaker)

First, @CardinalNewsVA reported that MAGA activists have illegally funded local Montgomery County races. Now, @LilyForDelegate is the target of a doxxing campaign, illegally run by an anti-labor group. One thing is certain: the GOP is trying to cheat to win in Montgomery County

🧵(1/4) Doxxing and voter suppression - that's what far-right groups have stooped to here in HD-41. With one week until Election Day, I issued a statement this afternoon calling out Virginia Republicans for spreading false #ElectionDay info misleading #VirginiaTech voters.

Zero-fare public transport is a win for everyone — decreased road congestion, increased access for low-income residents, and faster operational timetabling of services. Great news in Blacksburg!

Blacksburg Town Council just permanently repealed bus fares. It initially made trips fare free after the start of the pandemic.

The only candidate who showed up in Southwest Virginia during the entire 2020 election cycle is now running for Governor of Texas. We need to elect more folks like Beto O’Rourke here in VA, but we can start with TX.

The 3.2-mile Run in Remembrance is one of the most important ways our community marks the anniversary of the April 16, 2007 massacre at Virginia Tech. 17 years later, our community continues to heal.
