Thank you for this honor Virginia Education Association!
We will continue to prioritize public education and advocate fiercely to fully fund Virginia's schools.
Today marks the beginning of Black Maternal Health Week in VA. My hope is that we recognize and work every day to improve adverse Black maternal outcomes. Join Birth in Color RVA to commemorate the week and learn how you can help address this urgent crisis. birthincolor.org/bmhw24
So proud of my colleague Destiny LeVere Bolling for working on this important legislation to support maternal health!
Happy to partner with Senator Sen. Danica Roem on this important legislation to provide nutritional school meals to students.
With reproductive rights under attack, it is crucial that we protect every Virginian's access to contraception.
This morning, I stood with Ghazala Hashmi to deliver over 37,000 signatures to Governor Glenn Youngkin urging him to sign the Right to Contraception Act.
Virginians shouldn’t have to choose between prescriptions and other necessities like rent and groceries. I voted for HB570 and SB274 to lower prescription drug costs this year, and I urge Governor Glenn Youngkin to sign this crucial legislation.

Thank you to Richmond Education Association (REA) for hosting an important community conversation about school conditions, including mold, pest control, structural issues, and HVAC concerns. Our students, teachers, and faculty deserve to work and live in healthy and safe environments.
Today’s powerful conversation about reproductive health underscored the importance of protecting abortion access and improving maternal outcomes in Virginia.
Thank you to Jennifer McClellan, Tim Kaine and Black History Museum for hosting this important discussion.
The #1 most progressive Delegate on our annual scorecard is freshman phenom Delegate Rae Cousins! She took on fixing the difficult earned sentence credit problem, reducing indigent defense fees, & we got to hear her talk about bifurcation a bunch 🤪! Thank you for outstanding voting!
