My grandma has seen a lot in her life – still working every day at 90 years old – and she's proud to cast her ballot for Terry McAuliffe and the Democratic Party ticket!
Some personal news, which I rarely do here.
I'm proud to announce that I'm joining
@squireforyou
as Deputy Campaign Manager in House of Delegates District 55 in Albemarle, Louisa, Nelson, and Fluvanna Counties!
I don't want to see Danville slander from you UVA students. If you get vaccinated there you have to be nice about it. Yes, I know it's a southern city and there are confederate flags, still stfu.
Canvassing is always a joy for me - never know who you’ll talk to or what they’ll be up to. Plus
@SquireForYou
is a real good guy and progressive democrat
Plus you can get awesome deals on power tools at yard sales you see around town
@MatthewSitman
Extremely bleak that the "moderate and sensible" etc. Governors of Virginia and Georgia are signing onto a Constitutional crisis as well. Nevermind the Speaker of the House.
I like how conservatives just HAVE to comment and worry about policies/stuff that's occurring nowhere near their districts.
Also I'd like to see Glen and his staff try and afford to live there at current prices.
Make sure you visit Charlottesville this coming year to see the city before it changes drastically.
In line with the movement to eliminate single-family zoning as Alexandria just did, Charlottesville has approved “upzoning,” a euphemism to build apartment buildings and condos
Hearing that the Albemarle registrars office was never contacted about the McGuire rally at the County Office Building and that it’s certainly not permitted due to it being at a voting location.
@CBS19News
@DailyProgress
I’d imagine the County or Albemarle GOP could speak on that
I was a college student who, like Kellen, helped out on Ms. Laufer's state senate campaign.
Such a shame she's willing to lie her way into office. Glad to be supporting someone who sticks to his word and keep to his principles. Lives and livelihoods are at stake. It's not a game

in 2017 as a "strong supporter of reproductive health and equality". Hope that clears everything up!
Kellen Squire says he wants to “set the record straight” after his challenger in the Democratic primary made much of online comments Squire made in 2017 identifying himself as “fervently
@RepBobGood
can you do actually fucking anything tangible for our district? Get some school funding? New roads? Lower the cost of healthcare? Lower taxes on working people and not super rich people? Anything?
longo left again. at 9:24 prof. heinecke emailed delegate amy laufer. at 9:45 dean acampora arrived, seemed to be plans for a meeting at noon. but by 11:45 police were on grounds and by 11:50 had stationed themselves around protest ground, armed w zip ties & less lethal weaponry
It breaks my heart that my party does not care about my home and that grifters have been allowed to run amok. Running for office is not a resume builder or for twitter clout.
The Democratic Party’s struggle to field candidates in SWVA & Southside leaves hundreds of thousands of rural voters without representation on the ballot & adds to the frustration those Democrats are feeling about being written off by party leadership.
VIDEO: McGuire campaign releases first TV ad.
The ad, titled “Reinforcements,” highlights McGuire’s commitment to securing the border and supporting Trump to end the Biden Migrant Crisis once and for all.
Nevermind that this is all bullshit, it's mostly-legal anyway, and public opinion is quite clear on the subject, but it's pretty amazing that a "fiscal conservative" or whatever would let Maryland and DC take God-knows how much in tax dollars.
🚨 Gov. Glenn Youngkin vetoed legislation that would have created a retail marijuana market in Virginia.
“Cannabis is bad for Virginia,” Youngkin told me
@7NewsDC
I’m tired as all hell but I could not have asked for a better day to talk to voters in Danville today! Just 16 days out until Election Day!

Conservatives bitch and moan about diversity hires or whatever and then appoint trans-fearmongering weirdos to run the Dept. of Education after getting absolutely annihilated by voters.
This built on an idea from my former Delegates James Edmunds and Sally Hudson. A bipartisan effort to support public schools. Youngkin continues to be a petulant little freak.
NEWS — HFC Chair Bob Good’s campaign treasurer has asked the FEC for expedited guidance on allowing general funds to be repurposed towards his recount against John McGuire.
This indicates Good doesn’t have the money for a recount. He told me yesterday he was still moving forward
You’re getting increasingly heated and numerous political pieces in your mailbox

Excited to see the Democratic candidates in SD11 and HoD54 tonight!
@SquireForYou
may be in the 55th but we can’t wait to work together with friendly Democrats!
Felt like a comic book character last night - zooming down country roads, stars in the sky, no cell service, windows down, rock music blasting, and bojangles in hand.
