Thank you to everyone who donated to help folks affected by the Russell county floods, but we can’t rely on donations alone. As a legislator, one of my top priorities will be to ensure SWVA gets the funding it needs to fully fund disaster relief and resiliency efforts.

As Sen. Tim Kaine said “All eyes are on Virginia.” And in 41, it’s not just our neighbors counting on us—it’s folks across the commonwealth. Thanks to the volunteers who are with us every weekend, and those who joined us for the first time today! We’re going to win because of YOU!

When I was a teacher, and growing up going to public school, I saw firsthand the struggles kids and families experienced. Wednesday we hosted a forum to discuss how we can improve our public education system. Thanks to everyone who participated and @reedgalen.bsky.social for moderating!
