Folks,

For many Virginians, today is the first day of school – and frankly, I can’t help but reminisce.

I’m thinking about how lucky I was to attend good public schools growing up. About how excited I used to get ahead of the new school year.

Unfortunately, the reality is that today, under the Trump administration, many Virginians will have a much different back-to-school experience.

That’s because over the past 218 days, Trump and Republicans have attempted to dismantle the Department of Education, strong-armed university boards to install political loyalists, and are even working to suspend critical funding to schools in Virginia for failing to march in lockstep with their agenda.

This is the crowd that said they want LESS government intervention. It’s outrageous.

Trump and Republicans’ cuts to public education and attacks on our universities and colleges are dangerous and making our country weaker – and it tells you everything you need to know about their priorities.

It’s clear we can’t trust Senate Republicans to do the right thing and stand up to Trump​​, even when our students are involved.

If we want to protect public education and hold this dangerous administration accountable, we need to take back the Senate for Democrats, and that starts with protecting my seat. Can you pitch in to my reelection campaign today? [link removed]

The fight continues,
