Because our current representative is too afraid to say it, I will say it now. Trans rights are human rights. Our community deserves a representative that will fight for every student to feel accepted. That is what I have done and will continue to do.

Virginia has been losing. Families are moving away faster than they are moving here due to the lack of job opportunities and the rising cost of living. Terry McAuliffe's economic policy failed Virginia once. Why settle for it again?

It’s clear Youngkin has it out for localities that did not support him in November. This kind of political retribution is antithetical to our Virginia values and I have confidence that @VASenateDems will kill this nonsense.
