This past November, Virginia voted for leaders who will fight for them. We’ve delivered—for Virginia and for the rest of the country. Now, we’re ready to fight for a Congress that serves the people rather than caters to Trump. Thank you, Virginia!

I was honored to join leaders at the South Asian Impact Summit to discuss the importance of tomorrow’s special election for the redistricting referendum & ensuring every community has a voice in our democracy. Representation matters, and I will keep fighting so every Virginian is fairly represented.
Thank you to the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank, Hampton leadership, Virginia Asian American Store Owners Association, and The Apprentice School at Newport News Shipbuilding for welcoming me and sharing perspectives.
And the launch of Virginia’s Voices gave me the opportunity to hear directly from leaders, workers, students, and small business owners about challenges they face and dreams that they have.
I was honored to deliver the inaugural lecture of the Literature & Government tour at William & Mary. This first lecture looked at current issues through the lens of the Federalist Papers.
This week, we launched two new initiatives through my office: Literature & Government (L&G with the LG) and Virgina’s Voices. Two initiatives and two meaningful days of listening, learning, and engaging with communities across Virginia.
"This past November's election was certainly a clear indictment on the absolute failures of the Trump administration."
@ltgovhashmi.bsky.social tells @deanobeidallah.bsky.social that Trump's economic decisions lead to Democrats flipping seats in Virginia.
Visiting the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank yesterday as part of my Virginia’s Voices initiative was a profound experience. Hearing directly from Virginia communities facing challenges from federal government cuts was deeply moving and underscored how vital community support systems truly are.
Let us remember and honor the lives of the 32 Virginia Tech students, faculty, and staff who were tragically murdered on April 16, 2007. Let us recommit to the work for a safer future for all Virginians. “Today, we are all Hokies.”

I was honored to join the Aligarh Alumni Association—DC Annual Eid Milan Celebration in Sterling and present a proclamation recognizing Eid al-Fitr, the Association’s Golden Jubilee, and its enduring commitment to service.
As our Jewish brothers and sisters observe Yom HaShoah, we honor the memory of the millions murdered in the Holocaust. May this day renew our commitment to confront antisemitism, bigotry in every form, and hatred that denies our shared humanity.
I’m thrilled to announce the launch of Literature & Government, or L&G with the LG, a lecture series engaging campuses across Virginia in thoughtful dialogue on democracy, leadership, and public life.
Coming to a campus near you!

Last night’s kickoff for Senator Mark Warner’s reelection was energized and exciting—serious, capable leadership matters more than ever. Virginians know our Commonwealth must lead, and we’re fortunate to have dedicated public servants like Senator Warner.
Lieutenant Governor Ghazala Hashmi Applauds the Signing of the Right to Contraception Act After Years of Youngkin Vetoes RICHMOND, VA — Today, Lieutenant Governor Ghazala Hashmi released the following statement after Governor Abigail Spanberger signed the Virginia Right to Contraception Act: “For the third consecutive year, Virginia’s General Assembly passed the Right to Contraception Act. After championing this legislation during my years in the Senate and watching it vetoed by Glenn Youngkin, I am pleased to see the legislation signed and codified into law by Governor Abigail Spanberger. “As the last Southern state that has not imposed sweeping restrictions on critical medical care, Virginia has the responsibility to protect access to safe and legal reproductive health care. This legislation is supported by the majority of Virginians and affirms the Commonwealth’s commitment to protecting essential contraceptive medication and devices. Millions use contraception treatments for serious medical concerns, health reasons, and birth control. Every Virginian should be able to determine their own medical options without the interference of politicians.”

This is about more than one election cycle. It’s about whether we preserve a system that is fair, representative and responsive, & that gives every community a meaningful voice and every individual a genuine opportunity. That is why I voted YES, & why I hope Virginians will too.

Wishing those who are celebrating a joyful Easter filled with faith, hope, and the love of family. May this season of renewal bring peace and warmth to communities across the Commonwealth.
First Lady Melania Trump suggested that AI robots could replace teachers. As a former educator, I know students need encouragement & learn best when they feel seen & supported. AI robots cannot replace that. In Virginia, we value our teachers & we invest in our students.

Chag Pesach Sameach to all who are celebrating Passover across the Commonwealth. May your Seder be filled with love, reflection, and the spirit of hope.
With the start of April, we celebrate Community College Month, an opportunity to recognize the students, faculty, & staff of Virginia’s 23 amazing institutions. Our community colleges make education & opportunity accessible & change lives.
I was inspired by the energy and determination at the Virginia Young Democrats 2026 Convention. These young leaders are stepping up, speaking out, and shaping the future of Virginia in real time. It was an honor to be part of the conversation.
Today we honor Transgender Day of Visibility by celebrating the strength and resilience of transgender communities. We also renew our commitment to the ongoing work of protecting rights and advancing equality for all.
