What better day than the first day of Black History Month than to officially announce my candidacy for Virginia Senate District 3? I'm running to rebuild our infrastructure, defend our public education system, and offer a strong, rural & progressive choice to voters this November

We had some really great young D candidates in 2022, and it’s clear that with folks @Cooper4Delegate, @ZachColtrainVB, and myself, we’re not losing the moment one bit into 2023. Support the leaders of the next generation!
