@GlennYoungkin

said he’d sign any abortion ban that comes to his desk ❌Mandatory transvaginal ultrasounds ❌No exceptions for rape or incest ❌Sending women to prison for an abortion He’d sign them all I won’t stop fighting to take our majority back so he never can

Republicans just voted down our bill to ban the sale of Assault Weapons in Virginia. Gun violence is the #1 cause of death for our children, and Republicans have proposed 0 solutions to end this reality. We must retake the State House if we can ever hope to end this epidemic.

Jan 25

Looking at all these bills to restrict voting, very clear that Republicans are scared of voters. Looking at their other bills, we know why.

Jan 25

In other states, books on Ruby Bridges have been banned. Maus - on the Holocaust - has been banned. Why would they vote for this in Virginia?

Getting a world class education means the freedom to read about people of different races, people who love differently, and people who worship differently. Why would Republicans vote unanimously to enable policies to ban books based on the race of a character or their religion?

MAGA Republicans have submitted two abortion bans in the House this session. If they want to debate women's bodily autonomy, docket it. We're ready.

State Lawmakers' Efforts to Keep Jan. 6 Insurrectionists Out of Office Are Just Getting Started

Jan 24

The bottom line is if you’re involved in an insurrection and uprising that sought to overturn an election, you shouldn’t be a cop or a teacher or in the National Guard

"The bottom line is if you're involved in an insurrection and uprising that sought to overturn an election, you shouldn't be a cop or a teacher or in the National Guard," one lawmaker told Law&Crime.

Protecting democracy means keeping dark money out. Glad to be joined by so many to talk about our bill abolishing dark money in Virginia.

Virginians facing serious medical conditions shouldn't have the gas or electric or water cut off. Appreciate all of those who came together today and the bipartisan support for HB1875 today.

Jan 23

Today Republicans moved forward a bill to put money in the pockets of wealthy corporations at the expense of hardworking Virginians. Sad.

Wishing a Happy Lunar Year to all who are celebrating!

Today should've been the 50th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Instead, MAGA Republican officials are waging a war on women's right to make their own health care decisions. But this fight isn't over.

Thank you Delegate

for taking time to speak with our

@VAMCoalition

advocates today. It's far past time to take action to create a more affordable Virginia by lowering the cost of medicines and protecting against harmful price-gouging.

Delegate Watts photo bombed by one very cute baby and dad

Thank you

for telling

to stop the "soft bigotry of low expectations" by trying to mimic other states who lose business to us, have lower incomes, and worse educations system. We have a vision for our future that works for hardworking Virginians

Today

called out

for personally making millions from Communists. Meanwhile gov turns down 1000s of jobs for hardworking Virginians from Ford on made up accusations that Ford is a front company for the CCP. Smells like desperate Presidential politics.

At our

press conference on our gun safety agenda

said “These assault weapons, like the ones I carried in Iraq and Afghanistan, are for the enemy. Our family homes, our schools our neighborhoods, these are not the places where the enemy lives.”

Great to be joined by constituents from

@NewVAMajority

who shared their thoughts on how we can make housing in Virginia more affordable.

Honored to join so many on the grounds of the Virginia Statehouse this afternoon to remember the lives of those we have lost to gun violence, and recommit ourselves to ending gun violence in Virginia.

Thank you to my constituents from

@VEA4Kids

for sharing their priorities today to ensure a world class education for our children!

Virginia's House Democratic Caucus stands together in taking every necessary action to keep our communities safe from gun violence. Glad to share our priorities with Virginia this morning.

Today offers us all the opportunity to reflect on the enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, the progress we have made, and most importantly the work we still must do to fulfill his dream.

Gun violence has surpassed all other causes of death for children and teens. Lock up your gun when you do not have it on your person. Plain and simple. That’s my bill.

Senate and House Democrats continue gun safety legislative efforts

Jan 13

MAGA Republicans deliver words in the wake of gun violence and call for more guns. Virginia Democrats are looking to turn words into law and law into action to keep our communities safe.

richmond.com

The push includes a new attempt to ban assault-style weapons and limit magazines.

We are proud to announced our bill to ban the sale or transfer of assault weapons, and the possession of high-capacity magazines and silencers. This common sense legislation will save lives and keep our communities safe.

This morning I was joined by The Republican Women of Clifton, and the Virginia Nurses Association — who came by my Richmond office to share with me their priorities for session. If you’re in Richmond, my door is always open!

Yesterday we filed legislation to strengthen Virginia’s medical price transparency laws. For too many in Virginia the unknown costs of medical procedures leads them to defer life saving care. This law further empowers patients, and makes our communities healthier.

Virginia Democrats are united behind a #VisionforVa - Growing our economy ✅ Protecting our freedoms ✅ Improving our schools ✅ Keeping our communities safe ✅

Governor just asked the General Assembly to come together to ban abortion this session. Thank goodness for yesterday's special election results. There will be no bans in 2023. Virginia will remain a sanctuary in the south for abortion access and abortion rights. #valeg

The Governor continues to peddle this nonsense talking point. There are only two emissions standards: California’s and the federal law. We chose the California option — it has led the nation on clean car adoption — but there is no Plan C we can legally write ourselves.

@GovernorVA

Unless we act, Virginia is hostage to the extreme policies of California. Commonsense says that the law of Virginia should be written by Virginians. Let's not outsource it to California.

Glenn Youngkin mentions gun violence tragedies across Virginia — and then just moves on with not a single policy proposal. The State of our Commonwealth is that we deserve politicians who put people before the NRA and we’re going to fight to elect them.

I am beyond grateful to the voters of the 35th District for electing me to the Virginia House of Delegates. Virginia rejected extremism in 2022, and in 2023, we have rejected it again. Because equality, justice, and freedom are Virginian values!
