Thank you @maynivar.com for the lucky charm for the Year of the Fire Horse! Happy Lunar New Year to everybody celebrating.
Wishing everyone a joyful Lunar New Year! May the Year of the Horse bring strength, renewal, and goodwill to all!
Not a loss. Depts have long managed military leave. Most Guard & Reserve training runs ~39 days/yr. My bill expands the limit from 21 to 48 days, so impacted officers donβt have to use PTO if & when req'd service exceeds 21 days. The burden shouldnβt fall on the officer to fulfill both duties.
Happy Valentine's Day Roses are red, Violets are blue, Virginia grows stronger When we help someone through.
HB1114 passed the House unanimously & heads to the Senate. Why do this bill? Many law enforcement officers also serve in the Guard or Reserves, but VA offers only 168 hours of paid military leave. My bill guarantees PTO for all req'd duty, reducing strain & matching support given to firefighters.
Highlights from last week: Met advocates & constituents, joined LG Ghazala Hashmi & legislators for breakfast, & presented my first billβhazed into reading it like an auctioneer! My team & I are pushing 8 bills to cut red tape, strengthen schools, protect health, & improve life for all Virginians.
This week, three of my bills passed unanimously out of committee, each focused on helping skilled professionals and supporting affordability in Virginia.
These bills help skilled workers get to work and stay working in Virginia, without lowering standards or compromising public safety.
Black History Month is a time to honor the generations of Black leaders, organizers, artists, educators, and everyday people whose courage and creativity have shaped our nation.
From local trailblazers to national voices who moved our country closer to justice, Black history is American history.

A major winter storm is expected this weekend, with the greatest impacts Sunday afternoon into Monday.
Crews are ready and will work around the clock, but restoration may take time if ice causes widespread damage.

The time is always right to do whatβs right.β Dr. Kingβs words hit home for me. Theyβre a reminder that we donβt have to wait for the perfect momentβevery day gives us a chance to choose kindness, fairness, and courage.
Today, Iβm asking myself: whatβs one thing I can do to make a difference?
Today was a reminder of what brings us together as Virginians.
Congratulations to Governor Abigail Spanberger, Virginiaβs first female Governor. The future is bright, now itβs time to turn vision into action and build a stronger Virginia for all.
I was officially sworn in and got straight to work on day one. This week, I passed all four of the constitutional amendments, filed over 10 bills tackling issues facing our district and Virginia, and spent time meeting with constituents to hear directly about the issues that matter most.
In moments of celebration, the principles of Kwanzaa remind us of the values that unite usβhope, community, and care for one another. Wishing joy and meaning to all who celebrate!
The greatest gifts arenβt wrapped, theyβre found in kindness, laughter, and the bonds that bring us closer. Wishing a Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!
Hanukkah reminds us that even in darkness, light endures. Wishing peace and joy to everyone observing.
Virginia is lucky to have @markwarner.bsky.social in the U.S. Senate β a trusted leader who unites people, tackles tough challenges, and always puts our Commonwealth first. Letβs re-elect him to keep delivering for Virginia families.
Pass the pie, share the love, and letβs keep building a Virginia where everyone can thriveβcelebrating laughter, gratitude, and the future we shape together.
Yesterday's Henrico Community Food Drive collected 2,000 lbs of food and raised $3,000 to benefit Feed More. Thank you Henrico volunteers and donors for spreading help and hope for those in need.
Food banks need support all year because hunger doesn't take a holiday.
Join us tomorrow, Nov. 15, for the Community Food Drive and lend just one hour to support families right here in our communities. Even a small amount of time makes a big difference.
