Beth Macy is the real deal and we are so lucky to have her stepping up to run. I'm so glad I can cast my vote for her.
Beth Macy, reporter and author of books including “Dopesick,” is challenging GOP Rep. Ben Cline in a bright-red Virginia district, hoping her story of how she was shaped by living in the Rust Belt and Appalachia will win back rural and working-class voters.wapo.st/4zSUZyz

Congratulations @GMUPres, students and faculty!
George Mason welcomed its largest undergraduate class in our history, and I could not be prouder of how our faculty and staff made sure our Patriots got their semester off to a great start. Northern Virginia's university is now their home. #MasonNation

With @GovernorVA cell phone ban in schools, my daughter told me she needed to keep hers w/ her at all times so she can text me she loved me if/when a shooter enters her classroom. Ironically, Youngkin vetoed gun bills, but banned phones. We don’t have to live like this. #ENOUGH
