🎥 Affordability is the focus of the 2026 session. Watch how Senate Democrats are putting working families first across Virginia.
As the 2026 session begins, Senate Democrats are focused on lowering costs for working families. From housing and healthcare to childcare and beyond.
Wishing all families and loved ones a happy Thanksgiving across the Commonwealth. The Virginia Senate Democrats are grateful for each of you, and we hope your day is filled with joy, rest, and gratitude.
November 11 represents the resilience, leadership, hard work, and excellence of those who have served across all five branches of the U.S. military. To our fallen heroes and the soldiers who continue to serve — thank you. We’ll always be grateful. Happy Veteran’s Day! 🇺🇸 #VeteransDay
The Hoos are on the march against the Trump Administration trying to take over their school today and as a UVA Alumni I had to be there with them and let them know their General Assembly and @vasenatedems.bsky.social have their back!

Hey, Virginia! We are just three weeks away from Election Day! Make sure you’re ready by registering to vote or updating your voter info TODAY at the Virginia Department of Elections website. 🗳️
💚🧠 Today is PANS/PANDAS Awareness Day! Let’s shine a light on these life-altering pediatric conditions caused by infections and inflammation of the brain.
KNOW THE SYMPTOMS. SHARE THE MESSAGE. CHANGE A LIFE.
Virginia families are finally seeing the results of Senate Democrats’ leadership. $1 billion in direct tax relief is now making its way into mailboxes across the Commonwealth. That means $200 for individual filers and $400 for couples filing jointly, helping families cover costs.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is a time to honor the survivors, remember those we’ve lost, and stand with everyone still fighting this battle. We send love and strength to every warrior here in the Commonwealth and beyond. 💗
Hey, Virginia! 🎉 Happy National Voter Registration Day! 🎉 Early voting starts Friday, Sept 19 in the Commonwealth 🗳️ Register by Oct 24. Don’t wait. The future you will thank you 😉
Local healthcare is collapsing in Shenandoah Valley. Augusta Health is closing three clinics forcing vulnerable patients to travel farther for care. That’s the real cost of the “One Big Beautiful Bill”. Now Virginians are paying to price.
Healthcare is on the line for hundreds of thousands in our Commonwealth. Trump’s failures could leave Virginians uninsured and rural hospitals shuttered. Virginians showed up in 2024. Now it’s time to show up again. 🗳️ Early voting begins Sept. 19.
When the congressional Rs intentionally decided to leave so many of their constituents uninsured because of this recklessness, it fell on the states to clean up Congress’s mess.
Tax revenue in Virginia should go to keeping people insured, kids fed and roads fixed, not exemptions for corporate greed.
Whether you’re grilling out with family, traveling for the weekend, or taking some much-needed rest, we want to thank all of the hardworking people across our Commonwealth. Happy Labor Day Virginia! 🇺🇸
Annunciation Catholic Church should be a place of worship, love & community, never violence. During the first week of school, children should learn in peace, not hide in fear. Our hearts are with the families of the 2 children killed & we pray for healing for all those injured 🕊️
Virginians deserve leadership that puts Virginia first.
That starts with lowering healthcare and prescription drug costs.
As Governor, I’ll hold large pharmaceutical companies accountable and improve access to quality, affordable care across the Commonwealth.
Thanks again to Del. @jetforva.bsky.social and our constituents from Gainesville and Haymarket who attended our town hall meeting with VDOT last week to hear about the pedestrian safety improvements we have coming in for Somerset Crossing Drive in Gainesville.

From classrooms to campuses, Republicans are waging war on public education. We’re standing up for Virginia students. Listen to Senator Lashrecse Aird as she speaks out defending our top public universities.
🗳️ 60 years ago today, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 became the law of the land. This piece of legislation was a hard-won victory for the civil rights movement and democracy.
Today, that legacy is under attack by Republicans working to roll back voting access across the country. We won’t go back.

Protecting Our #1 Ranked Schools
🎥 Streaming LIVE on Virginia Senate Democratic Caucus Facebook.
We will NOT let MAGA Republicans bully our colleges for doing the right thing.
And we surely won’t tolerate federal meddling in our commonwealth. Stay in Washington. Your political games have no place here. (3/3)
The Trump administration is now investigating George Mason University because the school dared to uphold inclusion.
Let’s be clear: this is absurd, and Senate Democrats won’t stand for it. (2/3)
We are sick and tired of Trump and his allies sticking their noses in Virginia’s business.
This most recent attack on George Mason University is just another example of federal overreach in Virginia’s public schools. Enough is enough. (1/3)
Early voting for the 2025 #Virginia general election begins 10 weeks from today: Friday, Sept. 19. #valeg
Early voting for the #VA11 special election in Fairfax to send @jameswalkinshaw.bsky.social to Congress begins in two weeks: Friday, July 25.
Dozens of state agencies including State, Commerce, Education, Veterans Affairs, etc., are now allowed to proceed with layoffs affecting hundreds of thousands of families in our country, especially those in our Commonwealth. (2/2)
The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to move ahead with massive federal layoffs. Labor unions and local governments across the nation are warning of major disruptions to federal services. (1/2)
Virginia Republicans in Congress are making it harder for families to feed themselves and their children. They’re requiring seniors to work for food. They’re taking food away from people with disabilities.
This isn’t fiscal responsibility. It is just plain ole cruelty.
Happy Independence Day, Virginia! 🇺🇸
This isn’t just about UVA. This is about the Republicans and their national strategy to erase DEI, silence students, and push us backwards.
🛑 Not in Virginia. Not on our watch.
Senate Democrats protect progress, and we fight for every student.
The University of Virginia is one of the top public universities in our nation and President Jim Ryan is a respected leader. Virginia doesn’t need Trump and his allies meddling in our high education system!
Stay in Washington, Mr. Trump. We’ve got this! #valeg
