Let's support Team Salaam! @salaambhattiva.bsky.social
I can vouch for the fact that he is a phenomenal human being, skilled advocate, and he gets things done. We need more like Salaam in Congress! I will be phone banking for Salaam Thursday evening. Join me?!

Sean and Salaam celebrate in Richmond.
Celebrating a victory for Virginia tonight with my friend @salaambhattiva.bsky.social and the RVA Dudes For Dems!
I recently spoke with WMRA Public Radio about our campaign, what this year means, and redistricting. Check out our interview: www.wmra.org/2026-04-15/q...
Medicare for All is so popular.
How popular is it?
Medicare for all is so popular that someone took my VOTE YES sign but left my MEDICARE FOR ALL campaign yard sign.
Today, I called Rob Wittman's office and asked if he had any plans to introduce legislation to ban gerrymandering.
Staffer said he was unaware of any at this time.
Well what's the point of having a majority if you won't use it to end the thing you say is bad. SMH
Yes, Wittman has failed us *and* lied to us for months about the impact of his vote. We tore apart his lies in January! Sadly, this will all get worse in time - until Wittman and other Trump cronies are kicked out and responsible adults can start governing the country again.

Terrific interview with @salaambhattiva.bsky.social via the @walterrhein.bsky.social podcast. They discuss the threats to democracy, the high stakes we’re facing in Virginia, ways we can take action, and what a better future for America can look like.

Thanks, Rob Wittman!
I’m excited to share we now have t shirts available to order! Just in time for a Spring revival we all need.

Oh and if you’d like a yard sign, write it in the comment box on the volunteer form. Salaamforva.com/act
Yard sign in blue and white says Medicare for all at the top. Middle says Salaam Bhatti for congress. Bottom says “we are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”
Our yard signs are POPULAR. Just look at it. 🔥🔥
We’re running low. Can you help us restock with a $15 contribution?

This happened twice today while canvassing.
Me: thanks for the support! Would you like a yard sign?
Them: I’ve lived here for decades and never put a yard sign up. Yours will be the first we put up.
Me: 🥹
Join me for coffee on Saturday at Henrico's Qamaria Coffee! I'll be there from 10 AM to 11:30 AM. www.mobilize.us/salaambhatti...
PSA for Virginians:
If your child or grandchild will be 18 by November 3, 2026, then they can vote in the redistricting referendum AND the August 4th primary.
April 14 is the last day to register to vote for the redistricting referendum.
It shows how many actual voters (not followers) we have!
It's a win-win platform:
- It takes less than a minute to join.
- I don't get access to any of your personal infi.
- Everyone sees the movement growing.
- You set it and forget it, no need to check it daily.

Life's busy and we're broke.
It's hard to find time to volunteer or money to donate.
But you still want your candidate to win - so how can you help make that happen before election day?
Check out Sway - this is the lowest lift possible. Here's why:

Well said ✊🏽
That cake was GOOD
Listen up Virginians: if you’re suffering with Rob Wittman as your congressman, then join me on Sway. We’re creating a districtwide group on a platform dedicated to elections.
No algorithm shenanigans.
Just us for justice.

Black and white photo of 2026 VA-01 Democratic candidate Salaam Bhatti and other guests at the Neighbors For Change birthday event. Salaam is standing on the left side of the image while smiling down at the piece of cake on a plate he’s holding. His smile is wide, like he’s excited to dig in. Yellow sparkles surround the cake. A speech bubble next to his head reads, “My precioussss….” in a riff of the One Ring from Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings book series. Two mature women stand on the other side of him, shaking hands. The one on the right has a speech bubble saying, “Salaam Bhatti knows a good piece of cake when he sees one.” The woman in the middle has a speech bubble saying, “Right on, sister.”
How could I not caption this photo of 2026 #VA-01 Democratic candidate @salaambhattiva.bsky.social at the @neighbors4change.bsky.social birthday event?!!! 🤣

6-year-old son: What does this remind you of?
Me: It reminds me of the 90s.
Son: The 90s?
Me: Yeah, the 1990s.
Son: You were alive during the 1990s?
Me: Yeah, I was born in the 1980s.
Son: Wow, you were born then and are still alive?
Me: 🤨
Imagine a third space where parents can get together and meet each other while the kids play together.
Now stop imagining it and come to one of our Park Your Politics events ☺️
