Joined July 2022
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.

It was such an honor to cast a ballot with my name on it today. As I reflect on the work we've done over the past many months, I am filled with gratitude for the countless people who have stepped up to help this team with so much on the line.

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.

My MAGA Republican opponents will stop at nothing to silence women in order to take away our rights. I’ll never stop fighting for our reproductive freedom. Make sure to VOTE on or before November 7, 2023.

It was never my plan to run for office. But after Roe was overturned, I knew I needed to step up. As a Nurse Practitioner, I know better than anyone that a politician has no place in our exam room.

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.

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!) 🌊🌊🌊

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.

👏 @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
