Proud to have fought hard for working Virginians this year.

From raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour to expanding paid sick leave and strengthening protections for workers, we’re working to make sure a hard day’s work comes with dignity and security.

On Labor Day, Gov. Abigail Spanberger celebrated dozens of bills signed to support workers through several new protections.

Happy ! From the five-day workweek to fair wages and safer workplaces, the labor movement has helped build America’s middle class and expand opportunity for working people.

I’m proud to stand with unions and will always fight for Virginia's working families.

Trump's affordability crisis is making everyday life more expensive for working Virginians. We need to tackle it head-on.

That's why I’m proud to have co-patroned Delegate Jeion Ward's bill, signed into law by Governor of Virginia Abigail Spanberger, raising Virginia’s minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2028.

Trump trying to use the USPS to stop mail-in voting is un-American, unpatriotic, and goes against everything our democracy stands for.

Come run with me and hear how we’ve made voting easier and more accessible in Virginia and why we have to keep fighting to protect our right to vote.

Addressing our affordability crisis is one of the most important things we can do for Virginians.

I’m proud to be taking on rising costs and standing up for Virginia’s small business owners and working families.

Anti-choice extremists have made clear they won’t stop trying to take away women’s reproductive rights, even when they lose this November.

Vote YES to protect abortion access in Virginia’s Constitution - and be ready to keep up the fight long after Election Day.

Electing record numbers of women has meant passing amendments that protect abortion rights, voting rights, marriage rights, and our freedoms. This November, let's make it happen.

SNAP is at risk in Virginia because of Trump and this MAGA Congress. It's more important than ever to use your voice and fight back for our Commonwealth and our country.

Today we honor Women's Equality Day — celebrating the 19th Amendment and the generations of women who fought for the right to vote. Proud to celebrate the progress we have made and continue the fight for equality.
