Trump's Big Ugly Bill includes huge increases in spending on ICE and immigrant detention.
It's the culmination of 40 years of increasing social control in America.
To actually make communities safer, we should be spending on housing, education, and healthcare instead.

I grew up outside of Richmond. My dad was an Army veteran and a police officer, and my mom was a nurse. They taught me that there's no greater calling than a life of service. Now, I'm running for Governor to continue serving the Commonwealth I love so much.

Tens of thousands of Virginians watched President Trump’s speech tonight fearing they’ll be next to lose their jobs.
But instead of focusing on ending his reckless attacks on Virginia jobs, Trump doubled down.
Virginians deserve better.

Tonight, Donald Trump abandoned our allies, abandoned Virginia federal workers whose jobs were cut by Elon Musk, and abandoned the American people who are spending far too much on groceries.
We need leadership in Virginia to stand up for our communities, not bow down to a lawless President.

Trump’s hiring freeze is causing chaos/confusion.
He’s doubled down with a freeze on federal grant money.
Who suffers?
Veterans seeking healthcare.
Domestic violence survivors seeking emergency shelter.
Hospitals seeking Medicaid reimbursements.
Just to name a few examples.

President Trump just shut off funding for law enforcement, farmers, schools, veterans, and health care.
We are working diligently to reverse this, but we are preparing for every outcome to help Minnesotans weather this storm.
