Three basic essentials that Virginians rely on every single day — but too many families struggle to afford.
Making life more affordable in Virginia is my top priority — and on Day One, I’ll get to work to lower costs across the Commonwealth.

I have questions. Is she referring to Virginia’s rising unemployment rate? Higher costs? Health clinic closures? Virginia deserves better.
