    I joined Purcellville’s September 11th memorial ceremony this morning to share my reflections on today’s 9/11 anniversary. Our region was shaken to its core on that dark day, but we responded by coming together to lift each other up and reach out a helping hand to those in need.

    It's been three years since Dr. Gulshan Abbas was unjustly imprisoned in Xinjiang after her family in the U.S. spoke out about the Chinese government's abuse of Uyghurs. Gulshan must be released and reunited with her family, and the brutal persecution of Uyghurs must end.

    My sister Dr. Gulshan Abbas has been disappeared for 3 years now. Three years without being able to see or speak to her, to have her here with family. This genocide against has gone too long & too many have suffered.

    This is a great day for our Commonwealth! Relics of the Lost Cause are symbols of racism and white supremacy. They belong in our textbooks and museums. Not on Monument Avenue.
