Trump is blocking access to vital job training and technical education for hardworking people across every corner of our Commonwealth, making it harder for them to build better futures and succeed in today’s economy. It's shameful and must be stopped. swvatoday.com/news/article...

Today marks 100 days since Trump was sworn in.

Since then, he's fired thousands of Virginia workers, worked to gut Virginia's Head Start funding, and raised costs on all of us.

Enough is enough. I'm running for LG to counter the Trump-Musk agenda and put Virginia first.

Virginia is the number one state in federal contracting.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are actively gutting these contracts and bankrupting our Commonwealth.

Meanwhile, Glenn Youngkin and Winsome Sears stand idly by letting it happen. I'm running for LG to put a stop to this.

23 years ago, I found Cory Booker's email address after he lost his first campaign for Mayor of Newark.

This is what he emailed me back. 11 years later, I became Secretary of the Commonwealth.

Now, I couldn't be prouder to watch Senator Booker make history.

Today may be April Fools Day, but what's happening in Virginia right now isn't funny.

Because of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, thousands of our residents have lost their jobs.

It's why I'm running for LG. The stakes are too important. This November, we will take back our state.

Judge orders Trump officials to offer jobs back to fired probationary workers Judge William Alsup directed the Trump administration to extend the offer to probationary workers fired last month across several agencies.

This is just the beginning. We are fighting back in the courts to protect Virginia federal workers. Every federal worker who was fired should be reinstated immediately! www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Tonight, Donald Trump abandoned our allies, abandoned Virginia federal workers whose jobs were cut by Elon Musk, and abandoned the American people who are spending far too much on groceries.

We need leadership in Virginia to stand up for our communities, not bow down to a lawless President.

Because of Donald Trump's tariffs Virginians will pay more for essential goods from produce to electronics. We need leadership now that will stand up to Washington and protect our people.

Hard-right LaRock files for Va. governor, promises ‘Virginia DOGE’ LaRock, who served in the General Assembly for 10 years, has challenged whether presumptive GOP nominee Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears is conservative enough.

The Republican Gubernatorial primary is turning into a contest of who will appease Elon Musk more.

The people that will suffer are Virginians. It's why we need leaders who will fight like hell for workers and give them a fair shot at success. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Elon Musk's DOGE asks for access to IRS taxpayer data, sources say Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency requested access to an IRS data system that retains the personal tax information on millions of Americans, sources say.

An unelected billionaire should not have access to the social security numbers and bank account information of millions of Virginians. It's that simple. abcnews.go.com/Politics/elo...

Virginia lawmakers call on Youngkin to talk to Trump about federal workers Efforts by the new Trump administration to slash and relocate the federal work force, as well as cut federal spending, could have a dramatic impact on Virginia.

It's time for Virginia Republicans to either stand with Virginia workers or with Donald Trump.

They cannot have it both ways. Trump's policies are harming our residents. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Today, on #MLKDay, let's celebrate and honor the legacy of Dr. King.

His words, "an injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" still ring true today.

While we have come far as a nation, all of us share a responsibility to ensure that dream is realized.
