Today I was the first call (after family) when one of my former @HenricoSchools students decided she was going to be an @JMU Duke in the fall. What an honor to be a part of an amazing legacy! #JMUclassof2003 #JMUclassof2029

The 1st day of school often comes with the age-old question: "What did you do this summer?", but every student may not have something they want to share. Here are 5 alternative questions that will help students connect at the start of the school year. 🌟

I'm officially running to become the next Governor of Virginia. I'm a former CIA case officer, former federal agent, current Member of Congress, and mom to three great kids. I know that when we rise above the chaos and division, we can focus on what matters most to Virginians.

What Matters Most

U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger is running to serve all Virginians as their next Governor.
