This isn’t just my story; I’m speaking up for so many others who can’t. I had the privilege of speaking to Samantha Cole with @404mediaco this month about my journey—so we can better understand and support victims of Image-Based Sexual Abuse.

I have served our community as a Nurse Practitioner for over a decade. My position has always been clear: politicians have no place in the exam room. My opponent? He was caught talking about outlawing abortion. They'll go as far as we let them.
A video obtained by The Times-Dispatch shows David Owen, the GOP candidate in a competitive race to represent the 57th district in the House of Delegates, calling himself “pro-life.”

To be clear, this is disinformation at its finest. As a healthcare provider, I can assure you that no medical professional would perform an abortion at 40 weeks without extreme circumstances. Women’s bodies and lives are not political fodder, and shame on you @GovernorVA.
"I've been very clear on this.". Republican @GovernorVA Glenn Youngkin explains why he supports a 15-week abortion ban in Virginia with CNN's @jaketapper. @CNNSotu #CNNSOTU

Despite the GOP’s desperate attempts to distract voters, I will keep fighting for the things that matter to this community.

This is false. I filed to run before I ever met @SpanbergerForVA much less heard of you. Contrary to your obvious biases, women dont need permission from anyone to run for office. I certainly didn’t. And neither do other women who want to combat your type of brazen misogyny….
Spanberger hand picked Susanna Gibson to run in HD 57 last year. Gibson’s campaign staff resided at Spanberger’s parent’s home until they were evicted after the Gibson sex tape surfaced. She doesn’t have the judgement to lead.

Again, the weaponization of women’s bodies and sexuality in politics (and in every arena) is never okay, and is going to happen more and more if we allow it to. And yes Twitter trolls, knock yourselves out- all you’re doing is helping me prove my point.

I’m proud to have the support of @ctphealthcare . As a Nurse Practitioner, I see firsthand the importance of access to quality, affordable health care. As Delegate, I will work tirelessly to ensure all Virginians have the health care they need to thrive.

Thank you AJ!.
I’d like everyone to meet AJ. AJ goes to GW, and after failing to get his absentee ballot from @vaELECT, he skipped classes and TRAINED HOME on a whim to cast his ballot for democrats up and down the ballot (including @SusannaSGibson!) 🌊🌊🌊

And this is the woman who wants to be the next Governor of VA. And “how dare you try to sully” the Governor’s mansion with your bigotry, ignorance, hate, and absolute disrespect? @WinsomeSears.
NEW: hearing @WinsomeSears referred to @pwcdanica on the @VASenate floor as "sir.". Chamber has gone into recess twice after reportedly "Sears refused to apologize." . "I'm not here to upset anyone, I'm here to do the job the ppl of VA have called me to do." #VALeg

Slow clap to the man that told me a year ago “you’re a nurse, so you’re telling me you can break my heart and then put it back together again”- at a work event… @JohnMcGuire4VA.

The overturning of Roe v. Wade is what ultimately propelled me into this race. We do not need to look far to see what is at stake this year, and I refuse to stand by as our rights are rolled back.
💻NEW AD: We're launching a six figure digital ad buy in battleground districts to hold House Republicans accountable for their extreme anti-abortion agenda. Southern states have passed dangerous bans & MAGA Republicans want Virginia to be next. RT to help sound the alarm! 🚨

My R+1 district could very well be the deciding vote in the House of Delegates. Let this be a reminder that there’s no time to waste. I need your help knocking doors and calling voters. Join me at
There is a new VPAP Index from @vpapupdates averaging the lean of VA’s seats based on 2021 and 2022 results. Going purely off that, State Senate would be 21-19 Dem and House of Delegate 50-50. Some seats are really close so very well could go either way.

Another reminder that the stakes couldn't be higher here in Virginia this November. #HD57 could decide the Majority. I will not stand by and let our rights be eroded.
Abortion access shouldn't depend on your zip code. Virginia is now the ONLY state in the South without any post-Roe abortion restrictions. 🚨 REMEMBER: Abortion is on the ballot this November. Vote your values.

Yet another GOP candidate has joined the David Owen club. At this point, it's no longer surprising when they get caught discussing their plans to outlaw abortion. Let's send a message in 7 days. Our rights are not up for grabs.
Durant is the latest in a handful of GOP candidates to have been secretly recorded talking about deeper abortion restrictions than what the party publicly supports.

Your ignorance re: consent, nonconsensual recording/distribution of intimate images, image-based sexual abuse, & sexual violence is appalling, disgusting, & speaks volumes. Real leaders uplift others & stand AGAINST gendered disinformation—esp when it fuels sexual violence.

As an NP, I've seen firsthand how the lack of resources for mental health impacts our communities. Our Commonwealth must make mental health and substance use disorder top priorities, & make sure that VA becomes a top state in providing resources to any Virginian who needs them.
It's Mental Illness Awareness Week. Let's all help break down the stigma surrounding mental illness and support our friends, family, and loved ones when it comes to overcoming mental health challenges. #MIAW

I'm proud to stand with Congresswoman Giffords. As Delegate, I look forward to partnering with @giffords to pass common sense gun violence prevention legislation. I am determined to keep our neighborhoods safe.
Voters in Virginia have a choice. They can vote for gun safety candidates who will work to save lives, or they can vote for extremists who will endanger communities. I hope you’ll join me and support the right candidates this fall. @RTDNews.

“Whether perpetrated by cynical opportunists, political operatives, vindictive exes or misogynist trolls on social media, these evolving forms of sexual violence have a lingering, growing and profoundly negative impact on the next generation of female leaders.” @SusannaSGibson

On #WorldMentalHealthDay, I want to make it clear where I stand: As Delegate, I'll push to expand mental health resources throughout the Commonwealth. It's the right thing to do.

How we treat others when they can do nothing for us is a reflection of our character. Great leaders demonstrate empathy and respect for all people and inspire others to do the same. I am proud to endorse Mayor Levar Stoney to serve as our next Governor.

PBMs and middlemen are the biggest problem with prescription drug affordability. Focusing on manufacturers without also addressing the problem with wholesalers and PBMs will do very little to lower the cost to the consumer.

Today #TDOR we honor the lives and memories of transgender and gender nonconforming people whose lives were lost in such senseless acts of violence, and reaffirm our commitment to being part of the movement to end hatred and discrimination.
33 lives lost to senseless violent acts. 33 lives cut short. 33 people with loved ones, dreams, hopes. Each of them had a name. Each of them had a story. We remember them today and always. #TDOR #TransDayofRemembrance

👏 @CandiMundonKing speaking the truth and standing up against weaponizing women’s bodies and lives to earn votes (which btw abortion restrictions don’t actually reflect public opinion).
Yesterday, I called out the hypocrisy of my republican colleagues who would rather have photo opps than open discussions about the Governor's dangerous abortion ban. The women of Virginia are tired of them playing games with our health. #ProPHOTOopp #AbortionIsHealthcare
