My PAC

As we continue the progress we’ve made here in Richmond, it’s important to remember that local governing is a team sport. We need to work with surrounding areas, and all of the different elements that make up our local government.     Friend,   As we continue t…

Back to the basics

As we begin to shift our focus towards the midterm elections, I think we need to come together as a party and get back to the basics. Our goal as Democrats needs to be focused on Jobs, Housing, Education, and Healthcare. Plain and simple.     Friend,   As we beg…

If you can

Right now it feels good to be a Democrat. From the Infrastructure Bill to Build Back Better, legislation is passing that will do great things for the American family and worker. This is what progress looks like and I’m proud to be a part of it.     Friend,   Rig…

Giving Thanks

Instead of asking for a contribution to my campaign today, I’d like to ask for something else. In honor of tomorrow being Thanksgiving, I’m asking you to donate $5 to the cause of your choice. With so many folks in need, it is critical that we give back to our community whenever we can. …

Signing the Infrastructure Bill

Last week I got to attend the signing of the Infrastructure Bill. Watching this incredible piece of legislation become a law was truly inspiring. This is what it looks like when the government is working – this is how progress is made.     Friend,   Last week I …

looking ahead

I was just informed that our fundraising numbers for this month are significantly below where they need to be. We’re still $4,895 behind our mid-month goal, and time runs out at midnight tonight. Can you chip in right now and help us?       Friend,   We’re doing…

About last week...

It can be hard sometimes to see beyond the wins and losses of a particular election. While last week’s results were not what we’d hoped for, Virginia Democrats still have a lot to be proud of – and a lot to look forward to.     Friend,   It can be hard sometimes…

Happy Voting!

Election Day is here, and it’s looking dangerously close. The fact that Youngkin and McAuliffe are neck and neck is a huge problem.     Friend,   Election Day is here, and it’s looking dangerously close. The fact that Youngkin and McAuliffe are neck and neck is …

Tomorrow will change everything

Tomorrow voters will congregate throughout the Commonwealth to decide the future of Virginia. We have made so much progress under Democratic leadership – the idea of what would happen if Youngkin and other Trumpian GOPers win is horrifying.     Friend,   Tomorro…

GOTV events!

We're in the home stretch of this election.     Friend,   We may be in the home stretch of this election, but we have to dig in now more than ever. And right now that means getting out the vote! I’ll be at two GOTV events, detailed below, and if you're in the ar…

If you were planning to vote early in this election, tomorrow is the LAST day to do so. Sitting this one out isn’t an option, so if you haven’t already made a plan to vote, now is the time.     Friend,   If you were planning to vote early in this election, tomor…

Richmond GOTV

I have less than 24 hours to raise another $3,795 to cover costs for our Richmond GOTV effort. It is absolutely critical that we bring in every penny we can today – so we can achieve the absolute highest Democratic voter turnout possible. This election is less than three weeks away. …

showing up for Terry

With early voting well underway, the fact our Governor’s race is currently considered a toss-up is horrifying. At the end of the day, we will only win if we show up. That’s why I’m going to be at these events for Terry, and you should be too if you can.     Frie…

Terry needs us

The new Emerson Poll released yesterday showed that the Virginia Governor’s race is currently a toss-up between Terry McAuliffe and Glenn Youngkin. This is horrifying. If we hand the keys to our Governor’s Mansion to a Radicalized Right-wing Trump Republican, the future of our commonwealth will…

We have to decide as a city how best to allocate the $155 million Richmond is receiving in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) dollars – so I’m reaching out today to ask for your feedback. I’ve drafted my proposed spending plan, and now I’d like to hear from the people of Richmond. If you would lik…

thinking about my dad

I tend to spend Labor Day thinking about my dad. He worked tirelessly throughout his life to provide for my brother and me, and for that I’m forever grateful. He led by example. He took pride in his work as a custodian and taught me the importance of hard work. I’m sure if he were still around …

We’re still $1,245 away from reaching our end-of-month goal and only have until midnight tonight. Can you chip in and help us get there? It’s no secret that November is going to have all eyes on Virginia. We will either hold our ground as a blue state, or become red again. The latter would be a…

tooth and nail

I have less than 48 hours to raise $3,895, and right now I need your help. Republicans are pouring resources into 2021 Virginia races because they think they can win. We can’t let them. Keeping a blue majority and a Democratic Governor is absolutely critical to Virginia’s future. The progress w…

We must get vaccinated

a quarter of a billion dollars

Having a quarter of a billion dollars doesn’t make you qualified to be Governor of Virginia – but the GOP disagrees. Donald Trump says that Glenn Youngkin will ‘truly make Virginia great again.’ And right now I’m worried that the national support Youngkin is receiving could result in red wins,…
