Virginia families are finally seeing the results of Senate Democrats’ leadership. $1 billion in direct tax relief is now making its way into mailboxes across the Commonwealth. That means $200 for individual filers and $400 for couples filing jointly, helping families cover costs.

🗳️ 60 years ago today, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 became the law of the land. This piece of legislation was a hard-won victory for the civil rights movement and democracy.
Today, that legacy is under attack by Republicans working to roll back voting access across the country. We won’t go back.

Virginia Republicans in Congress are making it harder for families to feed themselves and their children. They’re requiring seniors to work for food. They’re taking food away from people with disabilities.
This isn’t fiscal responsibility. It is just plain ole cruelty.
