- I’m saddened to hear about Bill Martin’s tragic passing. He exemplified the best of Virginia — developing a deep knowledge of our past and determining how it can inform our future. Adam and I are praying for Bill’s family, friends, and the Richmond community. richmond.com/news/local/a...
- In less than ONE month, my administration will get to work to enact our Affordable Virginia Agenda. Working with our General Assembly, we’ll lower healthcare, energy, and housing costs in 2026 — and beyond. It’s time to put Virginia families first.
- Happy Kwanzaa! To everyone celebrating across Virginia, Adam and I are wishing you a week filled with hope, tradition, and community.
- Let’s make Virginia more affordable. In my new @FoxNews op-ed, I discuss how high costs are more than a quality-of-life issue — they’re an issue of economic competitiveness. We must keep America’s best employees and talent right here in the Commonwealth. www.foxnews.com/opinion/im-n...
- 🎄From our family to yours, we wish you a joyous, safe, and very Merry Christmas!
- As we gather for Christmas, please join me in thanking those who make the holidays possible. Thank you to our servicemembers, National Guardsmen, law enforcement officers, first responders, and healthcare workers — who often sacrifice time with their own loved ones to keep us safe. 🇺🇸

- I am horrified to wake up to the news of an antisemitic terrorist attack that took at least 11 innocent lives at Bondi Beach in Australia. On the eve of Hanukkah, we must remember that only light can drive out the darkness of hatred and antisemitism.

- I had a wonderful time visiting @radfordu.bsky.social for the Virginia Senate Finance and Appropriations retreat. Thank you to Senator L. Louise Lucas for inviting me to speak — I look forward to working with you and our Senate partners to deliver for Virginians.
