🚨 Donald Trump just attacked me on Truth Social

There is nothing — absolutely nothing — that will divert my attention from the needs of Virginia families.   Donald Trump just attacked me on Truth Social. I will not be rattled. I will not be intimidated by somebody who's fired thousands of Virginians and shut down…

I'm asking you to donate directly to the Democratic Party of Virginia

I feel the responsibility to flip our Governor's office blue, but there's more we must do to move our Commonwealth forward.   Hi there, this is Abigail Spanberger, Democratic nominee for Governor of Virginia. I won't mince my words: we must increase our fundraisin…

I’ve seen what Virginia can do

  Hi friend,  I’ve seen it before: when Virginians rise together, we win. We shocked the nation in 2017. We built a majority that protected our rights. We’ve beaten back MAGA extremism again and again. Now we’re being tested once more. Will we have the resources …

Abigail can’t do her job unless we do ours

  Hi friends,  Abigail Spanberger is ready to deliver for Virginia, but she can’t do her job unless we do ours. If we want to see her agenda become reality, we need a Democratic House and Senate standing with her on Day One. That’s why Virginia Democrats are goin…

From the Oval Office

  Folks –  Last week, from the Oval Office, Donald Trump had a complete and total meltdown, attacked me and my good friend Tim Kaine, and smeared our record of delivering for Virginia.  Look, folks, I’m not losing sleep over the fact that Donald Trump thinks I’m a …

Unbought.

  Hey, it’s Jay Jones – Democrat running for Attorney General here in Virginia. You may have seen my campaign mention that my MAGA opponent, Jason Miyares, is outraising us 2-to-1. It’s true. But even with this deficit looming over our campaign, here’s what reassure…

Two months to go. Are you in?

Hear me out:

  I’ll be honest, folks: I’m livid. And that’s not a statement I make lightly. The Trump administration is taking its marching orders from a fringe conspiracy theorist who’s associated with white supremacists and 9/11 denialism – and it’s directly undermining our ca…
