At the community meeting regarding the massive data center installation proposal for the South Anna District which will have a huge impact on both Hanover and Henrico Counties.

I much prefer this map to the winner-takes-all one ( I really try my best to avoid describing places as "red" or "blue").
Much more precise and accurate this way.

It was our community's absolute pleasure to welcome @abigailspanberger.com to Hanover County this past Friday when she stopped here as part of her GOTV bus tour.
And it was my absolute pleasure to give opening remarks as Chair of the @hanovervadems.bsky.social.
HUGE crowd. Incredible morning.

Nothing better than some time with my guy at the Richmond Folk Festival this past weekend on a beautiful fall day.
We appreciate these moments so much now because they were next to impossible when 2 of our 3 kids were younger 😅

It's rare that politicians and public figures apologize these days.
I think it shows humility, great strength of character and it shows leadership.
Words matter and so do apologies.
Thank you to those politicians and public figures who show how it's done.

And I married and had children with a man @criener.bsky.social who is an incredibly patient, caring, and wise father. I knew he would be.
I took him to Brecotea this morning and even let him choose *most* of the pastries 🤣

Happy Father's Day to all who celebrate!
I'm so lucky to have two of the best fathers there are in my life.
My own father raised me to stand up for myself and others, to be ethical, honest, hard-working and humble, and to be a strong & independent woman, the kind who runs for office!

Hands off! What an extraordinary day. I've been to many, many protests, rallies, and marches in Richmond. Never have I seen so many people as I did at this one, including many friends & neighbors.
I was missing my mom, but she was right there with me. She wouldn't have missed it.
