I am sick to my stomach. Words cannot describe the fury & anger that I feel. We have a right to assemble w/out being shot at & gassed. I was just with these ppl at the #WashingtonDCProtest & we were peaceful. Trump used militarization against peaceful protesters for a photo op.

As a VCU alum I’m horrified at how quickly protestors were met with such force. As a student, I protested many times on that campus and I strongly believe that students have the constitutional right to do so peacefully without being subjected to excessive force and arrest.

Listening to my tape, after VCU police arrived on the scene, they warned protestors they would arrest them for trespassing, waited three minutes, made another warning, and then moved in. All in all it took about 12 minutes between police's arrival and their use of force.

One of the toughest things about putting yourself out there for public office is sharing your story. I’ve kept a lot of this private over the years, but I’ve found that sharing my story can help humanize struggles we face & help others share their story.

Until last week, Adele McClure lacked any photographs of her biological parents together. Now, the 34-year-old Delegate-elect representing Arlington's 2nd district has two such photos. Until last...

Virginia is one of 2 states that permanently disenfranchises formerly-incarcerated individuals after serving their sentence. Gov. Youngkin's extreme policy requiring all to apply for restoration is a huge step backwards. We must pass #automaticrestoration !

Valentine’s Day is my favorite at the GAB! ♥️ I surprised every member of the @VaHouse & Clerk Nardo with a Virginia-grown succulent from Full Pocket Farm. The funds from my purchase went toward supporting their amazing programs for folks w/disabilities.

As a responsible gun owner, I believe we must work together to stem the gun violence epidemic. HB 158 would require that any firearm sold or transferred comes with a locking device, which will reduce the likelihood of tragic and preventable incidents.

On April 6th, Freddie’s (Arlington's only LGTBQ+ Bar) received a bomb threat due to the Family Fun Storytime Brunch. Freddie’s is in my district & one of my favorite places. We will NOT stand for threats! We’re here at the LOVE Fest standing against hate! Love wins! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

As we recognize the first day of #BlackHistoryMonth in the Commonwealth, I wanted to highlight a true inspiration to me and so many others: the Honorable Yvonne B. Miller—the first Black Woman elected to the House of Delegates and the Senate of Virginia.

My bill HB1252 passed the House w/62 votes. This would’ve fixed a loophole in our probation law that has resulted in increased jail time for nonviolent technical violations. Holding people in jail for months/years on nonviolent, technical violations does not improve public safety

The governor killed 10 @JusticeFwdVa priority bills tonight. One of them passed with 62 votes in the House; nearly all had Republican votes in support. Locking people up for drug possession does not make us safer. Criminalizing autism and mental illness does not make us safer.

Rather than invest in our schools, @GlennYoungkin & Repubs want to give big tax handouts to corporations and the wealthy. Dems are fighting to give kids what they need to thrive: fully-funded schools w/more support staff & resources. #backtoschoolfunding
