- I’m the chair of the Va House Public Safety Committee, the Committee he is referring. We WILL be bringing sensible gun violence prevention laws to Virginia. The voters have spoken. Thank you.Your 2nd Amendment is under very serious attack in the Great Commonwealth of Virginia. That’s what happens when you vote for Democrats, they will take your guns away. Republicans will win Virginia in 2020. Thank you Dems!
- Replying to @realDonaldTrumpI’m the chair of the Va House Public Safety Committee, the Committee he is referring. We WILL be bringing sensible gun violence prevention laws to Virginia. The voters have spoken. Thank you.
- On Monday, I will be introducing articles of impeachment for Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax if he has not resigned before then.
- The Va House votes to ban conversion therapy to minors. For seven years, I could never get this bill out of Subcommittee and today we voted out a strong bipartisan bill!
- HB 675 would have DECREASED premiums by 4.5% and REDUCED the number of uninsured by 14,000. @GovernorVA vetoed the bill. Virginians can’t afford to pay higher health care costs. lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp60…
- The Governor wants some of the same people that wanted to mandate a transvaginal ultrasound to come up with a bipartisan consensus? Here’s a bipartisan consensus that a majority of Virginians support: Let’s codify abortion rights under Roe vs Wade and let’s do it this summer.My statement on Supreme Court’s Dobbs Ruling Announcement:
- I am chair of the @vah_pubSafety committee in Virginia that passed seven major new gun violence prevention laws this year. In 2021 we will do even more to make Virginians safer and be working with President Biden to do it.VIRGINIA, and everywhere else for that matter, I am the only thing standing between you and your 2nd Amendment. If I am re-elected, it is 100% SAFE. If not, it is GONE!
- Next session I’m introducing a bill to require all gubernatorial candidates to pass a course in Virginia government where we learn about the rule of law, separation or powers, and the three coequal branches of government. It will be retroactive to 2021.These charges are unprecedented and it’s a sad day for our country, especially in light of what clearly appears to be a two-tiered justice system where some are selectively prosecuted, and others are not. Parents in Virginia know firsthand what it’s like to be targeted by
00:00- Senator, you were not right then and you’re not right now.Leaders lead. Even when it’s not popular. This time last year I was laughed at & ridiculed because I refused to wear a mask. They even put me in a box. Today, it all paid off as Governor Youngkin signed into law a bill that I copatroned and allows our kids to take off that mask.
- Due to large media interest, I will issue a statement regarding articles of impeachment at 9 pm tonight at Arlington Central Library.
- Such a privilege to meet one of my gun violence prevention heroes @GabbyGiffords @GiffordsCourage who has turned her personal tragedy into a triumph. #EndGunViolence
- After today’s Supreme Court decision on the EPA I am glad to see Governor Youngkin come out in support of new legislation to protect our air and water quality and protect life. I will set to work on this legislation immediately!
