Join us for lunch on Saturday, May 4th, at 11 am! Our Town Hall will be at the beautiful @HamptonHistoryM (120 Old Hampton Lane). RSVP: forms.gle/r9Zv9QpMREBN6y…
Virginians saw their leaders pass a bipartisan budget, that boosts funding for education, healthcare, and transportation. In response, the Governor is threatening to shut down the government. We cannot let this stand. We'll remain steadfast in our commitment to working families.
This morning Team Ward joined other MS Warriors to kick off Walk MS 2024 at Newport News Park. I have been living with this debilitating disease for 30 years & each year I hope for a cure. Donations made will go towards finding a cure. Until that day, I will keep walking forWARD!
HB 1 is the most consequential, far-reaching bill in my 21 years of service. Seeing it receive my first-ever veto is disappointing. I'll keep fighting for low wage workers and reintroduce this legislation next session despite this setback. governor.virginia.gov/newsroom/news-…
Today, we broke ground for the "BJ Roberts Behavioral Health Center," the Hampton-Newport News Community Services Board Crisis Receiving Center. What an incredible investment! When we invest in mental health, we advocate for all individuals and our community's well-being.
The 2024 Legislative Session is officially adjourned! I'm proud of @VAHouseDems focused efforts in passing legislation to benefit hardworking Virginia families, along with passing a budget on time. Thank you to my Session Team and Committee Staff for a successful session!
ICYMI! The @VaHouse and @VASenate passed #minimumwage increase to $13.50 effective January 1, 2025. Thank you advocates and legislators who made this happen! @JeionWard @SenLouiseLucas @JCarrollFoy @JenniferBoysko @CreighDeeds @AdamEbbin @SenatorHashmi @SalimVASenate @AWGNorfolk
HB1, the minimum wage bill from @JeionWard, reports and is rereferred from Senate Commerce and Labor!
This morning the @VAHouseDems held a press conference to highlight the work our caucus is doing to strive towards a better Virginia. We will continue to advocate for the rights of workers, women, and all Virginians.
HB1/SB1: Increase to the Minimum Wage. The bill will be carried by Delegate @JeionWard and Senator @SenLouiseLucas and will increase the minimum wage to $15 by January 1, 2026. 4/
Today, the Deltas let this AKA share a few thoughts at the Hampton Alumnae Chapter Social Action luncheon. It was so great to share the stage with @JeionWard @CandiMundonKing & @JennMcClellanVA and congrats to the award winners for their activism!

I am thrilled to be endorsed by the Committee to Protect Health Care @ctphealthcare. Together we will work together to lower the prices for prescription drugs, expand access to affordable health care, and protect reproductive rights in Virginia.
The Green Book helped African Americans know where it was safe to travel during Jim Crow. For decades, many of those sites were lost or unnoticed. Finally, this Thursday, we will unveil the first of many roadside signs commemorating this important period in Virginia's history.
New Henrietta Lacks statue to be unveiled Wednesday roanoke.com/news/local/new… via @roanoketimes
Tomorrow, October 4th, Virginia recognizes Henrietta Lacks, the Mother of Modern Medicine. Her HeLa cells shaped science, powering COVID vaccines, HIV meds, and more. Join us in honoring her legacy by lighting up your front porch and dressing in teal.
Please join us for the unveiling of the first Green Book location marker on Oct. 12 at 11am in @cityofhampton. This important period in African American history will finally be commemorated on Virginia's roadsides. Be there for its unveiling.

Glenn Youngkin took down a portrait of Barbara Johns in the Governors mansion while we are putting up a statue of her representing Virginia in the U.S. Capitol. No matter how much he tries this Governor will not be able to erase our history.
What more can be said about @SenatorLocke that hasn’t been said before. A friend to countless. A mentor to many. A champion for a better, stronger Virginia. Cheers to you Chairwoman Locke and a very happy 70th birthday! 🎉
Today in 1951, 16-years-old Barbara Johns led 450 students to protest unjust school conditions — her leadership helped overturn school segregation. We must continue her fight for equitable, high-quality public schools so every child has a world-class education.
Few people fight as fiercely for hardworking Virginians every day as Senate President pro tempore Madam Louise Lucas. I am thankful to have her support for my candidacy for Lieutenant Governor. @SenLouiseLucas
From Virginia Beach City Council to the Virginia Senate, I’ve put people first. We need a Lieutenant Governor who won’t back down from a fight. I never have and I never will. And I’m grateful to have @SenLouiseLucas, @SenatorLocke, and so many others on our team.
Thank you to all our amazing volunteers! The work you do for our students is so important.
April 22-26 is Public School Volunteer Week. To celebrate, we would like to congratulate our Volunteers of the Year! These individuals were recognized during last week's School Board meeting for their impactful contributions. Read about each volunteer at wjccschools.org/about-wjcc/ach…
Virginians saw their leaders pass a bipartisan budget, that boosts funding for education, healthcare, and transportation. In response, the Governor is threatening to shut down the government. We cannot let this stand. We'll remain steadfast in our commitment to working families.
Congratulations to this new board! @VAYD is full of energy — leading their local campuses, chapters & committees. I look forward to seeing how my fellow young Democrats will transform Virginia into an even better place!
📣 NOW PRESENTING: VAYD’s 2024-2025 Executive Board Officers! 🫡 President: @royermattw ✨ Executive Vice President: @ItsNotMelania 👥 Membership Director: @emslayton 📋 Campaign Director: @karaakline 🏛️ Political Director: Sacha Bren 📲 Public Affairs Director: @jd_dressel

In other words, since the 2020 law wasn't "reenacted" this year, annual inflation-based increases will begin in 2025. Here's how those inflation-based increases will work.
Even though the minimum wage bills (HB1/SB1) were vetoed, did you know that Virginia's minimum wage will increase on January 1st 2025 and annually thereafter? That's because of a smart provision that was part of the 2020 bill (HB 395) from Del. @JeionWard:
He’s one of the few people on the planet who can legitimately claim the title His Excellency, but he prefers to call himself an Electoral College dropout — @timkaine joins us this week to talk about his new book, “Walk Ride Paddle: A Life Outside” from @HarperHorizon

🏠We built momentum around housing supply this year. @AdeleMcClure_ and I got single stair case reform passed and my SB296 will speed up the approval process for residential projects. The best news: they were overwhelmingly bipartisan. A good start in ⬆️ housing supply.🏠
New single-stair legislation just passed: Virginia's Board of Housing and Community Development must make recommendations by Dec. 1 of this year! The bill was signed yesterday by Gov. Glenn Youngkin yesterday, and is the first signed by a Republican centerforbuilding.org/singlestair-tr…
So proud of my colleague @destinyforva for working on this important legislation to support maternal health!
🚨ICYMI🚨 Gov. Youngkin just signed 150 more bills, which includes my bill HB935 which requires health insurers to provide coverage for doula care services provided by a state-certified doula. I'm so proud of the work we've put in to make this legislation a law in Virginia!
Accurate and complete data is key to addressing the maternal mortality crisis in Virginia. I am happy that the Governor signed my bill HB 831, which will require the collection of maternal morbidity data. richmond.com/news/state-reg…
It’s in @politico @playbookdc so it’s officially official! I’m excited to head down and help @JoshStein_ become the next governor of North Carolina!
