HB26 has FINALLY been signed into law! Virginians serving time for ma*****na offenses no longer treated as crimes now have a path home. Years of hard work from former patrons and advocates, but we got the job done!

Today signed HB625, capping co-pays on life-saving prescriptions so Virginians won’t choose between rent and the medication keeping them alive.

Proud to carry this with . Thanks to every advocate, patient, & family who pushed this across the finish line.

Because of the bills I signed today, when your family needs care, you can get it. From capping the monthly out-of-pocket cost of insulin at $35 to cracking down on prior authorization delays and making sure Virginians can access the care they need, we are taking action to bring down healthcare costs.

I’m grateful to Delegate Karrie Delaney, Delegate Rozia A. Henson Jr, Russet Perry, Michelle Maldonado, Rip Sullivan, Irene Shin, and Jeremy McPike for their focus on lowering costs for Virginia families.

“Fairness cannot mean unilateral disarmament while the other side rewrites the rules.”- Henson

A ruling like last Friday’s deserves more than a reflex, and you deserve more than a hot take from your delegate. So I took these last few days to think, to listen, and to be still long enough to say something worth your time.

Here is where I land.

The Supreme Court of Virginia has overturned a referendum that Virginians from every corner of the Commonwealth voted to pass.

I’m frustrated. Virginians have every right to be.

Voters showed up on April 21st. They read the ballot. They made a choice. A 4-3 ruling has now set that choice aside.

When other states redraw maps to entrench power, Virginia has a right to answer. I would rather we lead the country toward fair, voter-driven districts than race anyone to the bottom; but fairness cannot mean unilateral disarmament while the other side rewrites the rules.

History is plain about what comes next. Every right we now take for granted was won by people who were turned away once, twice, a hundred times, and came back anyway. The vote, the seat at the table, the fair map; none of it arrived on its own. Persistence is the price of justice, and Virginians have always been willing to pay it.

I support pursuing every legal option, including an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. And I will keep doing the work the people of the 19th District sent me to Richmond to do.

We are not done. Not even close.

Today, I celebrate the women who shape our communities; mothers by birth, by adoption, by choice, by chance. The grandmothers, aunties, godmothers, foster moms, and chosen family who do this work every day without applause.

I also hold space for those for whom today aches: those grieving a mother no longer here, those longing to become mothers, those carrying losses only they can name, those navigating complicated or distant relationships.

Wherever today finds you, you are seen.

Happy Mother's Day, District 19.
