Early voting is happening now through October 31! Every locality in Virginia offers early voting, & every Virginian’s ballot includes important decisions that will shape our future—from the U.S. Senate & House of Representatives races to three proposed constitutional amendments.

We honor the legacy of Dolores Huerta, a trailblazer for workers’ rights, women’s rights, & equality. Her commitment to justice transformed the labor movement & inspired generations to keep fighting for dignity & opportunity for all. May we carry her legacy forward. Sí, se puede.

That’s why I’m encouraging voters to vote YES on all three ballot amendments, giving Virginians the final say on who can vote, who we can marry, and decisions about our own bodies. I’ve cast my ballot, and I hope you will, too. Plan ahead and vote by November 3rd.

I had such a lovely time at the third annual Wild at Heart at the Science Museum of Virginia. Beyond spending time with these sweet animals, this event supports a cause that helps animal welfare nonprofits across Virginia.

Funds raised support small, local organizations, K-9 programs, and initiatives that help seniors on fixed incomes keep their beloved pets at home. A wonderful reminder that animals are family & deserve our care and compassion. Thank you to Furbish Thrift & its amazing leadership.
