I had such a lovely time at the third annual Wild at Heart at the Science Museum of Virginia. Beyond spending time with these sweet animals, this event supports a cause that helps animal welfare nonprofits across Virginia.

Funds raised support small, local organizations, K-9 programs, and initiatives that help seniors on fixed incomes keep their beloved pets at home. A wonderful reminder that animals are family & deserve our care and compassion. Thank you to Furbish Thrift & its amazing leadership.

Today’s Goochland Affordability Roundtable with Congressman Tom Perriello and Delegate May Nivar was about something deeply personal to so many Virginians: the struggle to make ends meet and the uncertainty families face as the cost of living continues to rise.

Behind every conversation about affordability is a real person—a parent trying to put food on the table, a family worried about keeping a roof over their heads, a senior stretching a fixed income, or a worker doing everything right and still struggling to get ahead.

As the Trump administration’s policies put even more pressure on working families, Virginians deserve leaders who will fight for their communities. John McGuire is falling short of that responsibility—this district deserves a representative who puts Virginia families first.

Lt. Governor Ghazala Hashmi retweeted
Great morning in Goochland with @ltgovhashmi talking with folks about what it actually costs to live here right now. Groceries, rent, utilities, childcare. Families in the 5th are stretched thin, and we’re going to bring those costs down.

By helping bring this monument to life, she helped ensure that the courage, sacrifices, and accomplishments of Virginia women receive the recognition they deserve and that their stories continue to inspire future generations.

I am so inspired by a recent gathering of women CEOs, small business leaders, and executive professionals and our conversation about shared priorities at this critical moment that is shaping our nation’s economic, technological, political, and social future.

Today in Buena Vista, Virginians stood up to protect healthcare & demand accountability. When HR1 passed, Augusta Health announced the closure of 3 local clinics, citing the bill’s devastating effects. These closures threaten access to care for those who need it most.

Ben Cline voted for HR 1 rather than fighting for his constituents’ healthcare needs. Beth Macy will fight for her community, championing access to healthcare and holding elected leaders accountable. Our communities deserve leadership that puts people first.
