In 1979, my parents & I fled Vietnam as boat refugees. My dad was a dentist in the South Vietnamese Army & went to reeducation prison. Upon his release, my parents took me, not yet seven months old, onto the open sea. They risked our lives for hope, opportunity & freedom. (1)

Stealthily issuing this dangerous rollback of LGBTQ rights, without public input, on a Friday evening is cowardly. Youngkin knows that Virginia won’t stand for this hostility targeted at LGBTQ youth, who deserve to feel safe and welcomed for who they are.

Republicans just adjourned the VA special session after less than two hours, and without considering a single bill. Virginia is facing a gun violence epidemic, and this refusal to govern is unacceptable. We need to vote them out in November. #VotesandLaws

Proud to have voted for another #VA House budget that includes #MedicaidExpansion . Glad for bipartisan support to make sure that about 400,000 Virginians have access to healthcare. @VASenate , it's your turn.

In my first term, we expanded Medicaid to 400,000 Virginians, advanced redistricting reform & increased teacher pay. But I'm not done fighting for VA women & families. There's a lot at stake in November & I'll need your help. #VA42 #VAleg

Like I said when I announced my PSP diagnosis, this disease sucks. It’s been a difficult journey but I’m working as hard as ever to serve #VA10 . I'm sharing my experience to raise awareness of what PSP is and why it's so important to find a cure.

Women’s health is under assault across the country. Excited to work with @NARALVirginia to flip control of #valeg so medical decisions are made by a woman and her doctor, not politicians in Richmond

This is one in a very long list of actions this Administration has taken to systematically attack immigrants & refugees. It is meant to further divide us. It is cruel & I will always use my voice to stand up to unjust policies that are contrary to the values of our country.

I was proud to join @NARALVirginia 's rally today to stand up for women's reproductive freedom. 72% of Virginians support access to abortion care without interference from politicians, and I will continue to fight for women's ability to make their own health care decisions.

Today we honor the 120,000+ Japanese Americans who were wrongly incarcerated during WWII and their resilience. May we teach a complete and accurate history, and include AAPI experiences, so we do not repeat these egregious wrongs again.

On this Day of Remembrance of Japanese American Incarceration During World War II, we must recommit ourselves to combating xenophobia and racism, fighting for civil rights and liberties for all people, and standing united against AAPI hate.

Last night, six Asian American women were murdered in a shooting rampage in GA. We see in them our mothers, daughters, sisters & wives. My 8 year old asked why I am so sad today. I told him the women looked like me & his sisters.
