For over two decades, @JamesWalkinshaw stood by my side — as my Chief of Staff, my partner in progress, and my closest ally in the fight for Northern Virginia. Today, I’m proud to endorse him to succeed me in Congress. James is ready to lead on day one.
Congratulations to @SEIUVA512 on this huge victory! This is the result of your tireless efforts and steadfast commitment to Fairfax workers.
VICTORY for Fairfax County employees! 🎉🎉
Woohoo!!! We won our union election and earned the right to be at the decision-making table with the County. This is the largest public sector organizing victory among general government workers in Virginia's history.
We can now look forward to negotiating a contract to lock in our wins and making sure we’re ALL respected, protected and paid.

NEW TODAY: Oversight Dems, @HouseJudiciary, and @HouseAdm_Dems are demanding the Treasury Dept turn over Suspicious Activity Reports on these organizations to investigate election fraud & corruption.
Democrats are fighting to protect the integrity of our govt and our elections.

📣There’s actually a simple formula to stop Trump & preserve our democracy. Each one of us just needs to demonstrate a fraction of the courage that former Congresswoman Wexton has shown throughout her career. I’m profoundly grateful to have her support & endorsement in this race.

Virginia, I’m officially your Democratic nominee for Governor! I'm honored you've put your trust in me — and on November 4th, we're going to win.
But we need your help to do it. Can I count on you to donate now and help us flip the Governor's office blue?

Great townhall discussion today with @JamesWalkinshaw at Woodleigh Chase, the newest senior housing facility in the 11th District.
There’s a great upcoming event hosted by @FairfaxDems outlining the disastrous Republican budget. Register at fairfaxdems.org/budget to learn more.
No matter what Donald Trump says, his senseless trade wars with our allies are already increasing prices for everyday Americans and his tax cuts will balloon the deficit by trillions of dollars.
Is this his idea of the American Dream?
