Delegate - 95 HD - VB born and raised / committed to bettering our community / 1906 / @_HamptonU Alum ⚓️
- I began my political career organizing for President Barack Obama in 2012. Today, he endorsed my re-election campaign. 10 days left! Let’s win this.Huge news from Virginia! President @BarackObama is throwing his support behind 21 Virginia House candidates running in the most competitive districts. These are the races we need to win in order to #KeepVABlue.
- Loved the energy this morning at our first official GOTV kickoff! Huge thanks to @RalphNortham, @ElaineLuriaVA, and @GlennNye for rallying the crowd. This is it, folks. Make a plan to vote at AlexAskew.com/vote
- The energy in Virginia Beach for @ElaineLuriaVA is electric! Thank you @RepJeffries for coming down and firing up the crowd in preparation for the November 8th election.
- My opponent’s attack mailer displayed a darkened, burning photo of my face. I’m a black man. Depicting any black person as burning or hanging propagates some of the most dangerous, racist tropes in history. This dog whistle attack has no place in our politics.
- Our bill that puts a $50 price cap on most prescription asthma inhalers passed the House today! No one should have to choose between putting food on the table or buying a potentially life-saving prescription. We must keep working to lower the cost of all asthma inhalers.
- Thank you! Last night, thanks to the voters of the 95th, I was elected Delegate-Elect Alex Askew. I look forward to once again representing my hometown in the Virginia General Assembly.
- I felt the energy of our momentum tonight, Virginia Beach. Let's keep it up for the next 8 days! Thanks to @LaurenUnderwood, @HalaAyala, @ElaineLuriaVA, my esteemed colleagues in the House of Delegates, and the dozens of attendees who sounded a rally cry for democracy!
- I just filed my paperwork to officially run for HD-95 in 2023. More news to come soon — but for now, I want to take the opportunity to celebrate the power of what’s possible when we all work together, and what we’re looking forward to over the next year.
GIF - Please join me in welcoming Dawann Steagall to Team Askew as the Campaign Manager for the 2023 cycle! We are excited to have him back on the team, as he played a major role in our outreach program in 2021! Dawann is from Chesapeake and is an ODU Graduate.
- This campaign is a movement to say that it is time to invest in measures that keep our kids, our first responders, & our educators safe. Proud to be in the fight w/ @shannonrwatts, @MomsDemand, @HalaAyala, & @nancyguyva. Help us keep the momentum strong: forms.gle/eRLKzJJKpcYYbJ…
00:00 - First Texas, now Florida. Let me be clear: Glenn Youngkin and my out of touch opponent want to restrict women’s rights to make their own health care decisions. These dangerous, draconian measures have no place in our Commonwealth.
