I enjoyed spending the afternoon with the #LCPS LA&P Committee to talk about what we are doing in the General Assembly to put #VirginiaFamiliesFirst. Investing in education is investing in our democracy and our future.
I was honored to join the Virginia Forestry Summit today and talk about all that we’re doing to protect and preserve our forests and support our farms in Virginia, including through the Forest Sustainability Fund.

After nightfall, Jewish people along with their friends and family will hold the first Seder of Passover. The weeklong celebration commemorates the emancipation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. Wishing a joyous Passover to all those who celebrate. Chag Sameach!

Thank you @SenDaveMarsden. I am honored and excited to serve as the Chair of the Rural Affairs subcommittee. I'm looking forward to championing initiatives that empower and uplift rural communities across our Commonwealth.

On #WorldHealthDay, I am grateful to the free clinics in our district that provide care for our most vulnerable populations. I also encourage everyone to donate blood. It is an easy, quick, and rewarding way to support your community’s health and help save lives.
Today, my colleagues and I are heading back to Richmond to deal with the Governor’s amendments and vetoes and pass a budget that works for all Virginians.

Representative democracy in action with @RussetPerry !
Today, we are announcing the formation of a new ACNR subcommittee for Rural Affairs in the @VASenate. Please see the full announcement below, with Senator @RussetPerry being named the chair;
Delegate @AlexAskew757 is a tireless advocate for the Hampton Roads community & a strong leader in Virginia Beach. I'm so thankful for his endorsement.
Sadly, VA Sen. @RussetPerry is right - Gov. Youngkin and 18 Republican VA State Senators think it's acceptable (or at least won't do anything to stop it) that "we should let a boyfriend beat his girlfriend & then go get a gun and kill her" bluevirginia.us/2024/04/planne… h/t @vaplan2018
The attached proclamation recognizes April 22–26, 2024, as National Student Leadership Week in Loudoun County Public Schools.
.@RussetPerry on the motion to override the gov's veto on her bill closing the boyfriend loophole: "If you think we should let a boyfriend beat his girlfriend & then go get a gun and kill her, then you should vote for the Governor's veto." 18 GOP members do think that's okay.
Clean Virginia is thrilled to announce our endorsement of U.S. Representative Abigail Spanberger for Virginia’s next governor. @SpanbergerForVA has a proven track record that demonstrates her dedication to ethics reform and clean, affordable energy, making her the future governor…
Sen. @RussetPerry @BarbaraFavola Del. @AdeleMcClure_ @EBPforVA Rip Youngkin’s Veto of Bill That Would Have Closed “Boyfriend Loophole,” “put[ting] victims of sexual & domestic abuse in grave danger”; "acquiescence to the slaughter of intimate partners" bluevirginia.us/2024/04/va-sen…
Youngkin "chose to take the side of abusers…the [NRA] instead of the very folks I know I was elected to stand up for and that he was elected to stand up for. And there’s no excuse for it, there’s no explanation for it." - Sen. @RussetPerry bluevirginia.us/2024/04/va-sen…
Our Advocacy Manager @LoriHaasVA was alongside Senator @RussetPerry, Delegates @EBPforVA and @AdeleMcClure_ for @DoorwaysVA and @VActionAlliance’s impactful event in Virginia. "We are all committed to saving lives and interrupting the often-deadly cycle of domestic violence."
Thank you to @DoorwaysVA and the @VActionAlliance for drawing attention to @GovernorVA's senseless vetoes of bills aimed at protecting women and families by keeping firearms away from domestic abusers. We deserve better.
Just listened to @ChrisMurphyCT tonight talking about how Congress looked at data and came to a bipartisan conclusion to close The Boyfriend Loophole that 90% of Americans support - the bill carried by @RussetPerry that Glenn Youngkin just vetoed
This thread is important to understand just some of the transportation funding issues in NOVA that are *linked* to Metro but actually go way beyond Metro because NVTC is a region-wide entity. There’s domino effect risk for all nine NOVA localities in terms of available funding.
Let's discuss one of my favorite topics: Virginia funding for Metro. In budget amendments, Youngkin made some key changes to the General Assembly's $150 million over two years proposal that are worth knowing about if you're a Metro rider or a Northern Virginia resident or both.
Virginia is the last state in the south without an abortion ban. We should welcome and protect women who come here to get the care they need—not put them at risk of being thrown in jail for getting basic reproductive health care. richmond.com/zzstyling/view…
