My name is Josh Thomas.
I led Marines in Afghanistan to protect our freedoms.
Now, I won’t let MAGA anti-choice extremists like John Stirrup take away freedoms here at home.
Will you support my campaign and help protect reproductive rights in Virginia?
John Stirrup, a Republican candidate running for the House of Delegates in a purple Northern Virginia district and endorsed by Gov. Glenn Youngkin in the primary, has been recorded saying he would support a “100 percent ban” on abortion in the state.
I’m Josh Thomas, the Democratic candidate running against anti-choice extremist John Stirrup who wants a FULL abortion ban in Virginia.
Can you please retweet this to help me reach 1,000 followers so we can spread the word and win in November and protect reproductive freedom?

It’s incredibly disappointing to hear my opponent's blatant disregard for the rights of women in Prince William County and across Virginia.

Exactly one year ago, I made the best decision of my life: I married my soulmate! Happy anniversary to the most important person in my world!
Excited for what this next year will bring and GRATEFUL for your patience and grace as I spend today canvassing and talking to voters 😬
Just filed my first bill for the 2024 session that involves two issues close to my heart: voting rights and disability rights.
HB43 would extend the right to curbside voting from your car for those with both temporary and permanent non-physical disabilities.
Momentum is on our side with only 10 days left!! Thank you Congresswoman

I'm running for Delegate to lower the cost of living, fully fund education, and protect the rights of all Virginians.
My opponent made it clear, he's running for Delegate to ban abortion 100%, with NO exceptions for rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother.
💻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! 🚨
Less than 8 days left, Virginia!!!!

I’m ready for my second service, but we need your help! Can you chip in $10 or $25 to flip the VA house blue?
When
@GlennYoungkin
is more focused on running for President than leading Virginia, we all suffer. Under democratic leadership
#Virginia
was number one for business—now we’ve fallen two places. How much further will we fall?
Early Voting has begun!!! Proud to stand with our slate of Dems this morning to emphasize what's a stake this November. We encourage everyone to vote early to protect our freedoms, and bring real solutions to working families. Go exercise your constitutional right to vote!

for helping us get the truth out to the community: we support police funding and their right to collectively bargain.

I was honored by the turnout for my swearing-in to the House of Delegates this afternoon. Thank you to constituents of the 21st District who placed their trust in me to represent you. Let’s get to work for Prince William County!

Congresswoman
@SpanbergerVA07
knows that to retake the majority in the House of Delegates, winning District 21 is crucial, and I am proud to receive her endorsement.
I was proud to stand with my colleagues this morning to help keep Virginia moving forward, especially when it comes to the issues that matter most to my constituents, like affordable housing, community safety, and protecting voting rights.
Thank you
@axios
for reinforcing what the country should already know: November 2023 is Virginia’s chance to stand up for reproductive freedom.
I have the most extreme anti-abortion opponent in the Commonwealth and we’re fighting hard to stop him.
Virginia is the lone southern state that hasn't banned or restricted abortion since SCOTUS overturned Roe.
Now Democrats are mobilizing for what they widely view as the next major referendum on abortion rights: this fall's state legislature elections.
We are ALL IN for GOTV in
#HD21
! Yesterday, we launched our amazing volunteers to knock at our HQ in Manassas, knocked doors in Gainesville, launched the awesome

It's official: I am the Democratic nominee for the 21st District!
I am committed to be an advocate for everyone in our community. I invite you to join us, get involved in our campaign, and make a contribution to flip the House blue in November!
Make no mistake, reproductive freedom is on the ballot this year. After the fall of Roe, the fight is now at the state level. With an extreme GOP opponent pushing a total abortion ban, winning

is Mission Critical. I'm grateful to have

The energy was real at the Haymarket Day Parade this morning!!!!!
The fun is still happening all the way to 4pm today—come on down to the 21st District!
Happy

Last night,

made clear that his education policies will directly target LGBTQ students in their own schools—parents and families are understandably horrified and heartbroken over this hate.

@NatlDemSummer
and everyone who showed up to make a difference in HD-21. Let’s flip the house!
Thoughts are with
#TeamConnolly
today. Violence against elected officials and their staff is not the America I fought for and we should not normalize or accept anyone who thinks this is the answer.
Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA11): “This morning, an individual entered my District Office armed with a baseball bat and asked for me before committing an act of violence against two members of my staff”
Virginia, early voting starts TOMORROW!! I encourage everyone to vote early. Make your plan to vote: visit for information on voting by mail, voting early in person, or your Election Day polling location.
Last point, I’d advise
@GlennYoungkin
to review the cautionary tale of Mississippi’s business ranking. They ignored public education and passed laws alienating or persecuting their own citizens.
#Virginia
is in danger of making the same mistakes.
Absolutely inspired by the

With minutes to spare, I am grateful that Congress was able to avoid a shutdown. Unfortunately, this is not over.
The stress caused to the thousands of federal workers in

✅Lower the cost of living

✅Protect Virginians from my opponent's 100% abortion ban

As the only veteran in this race, I have hundreds of hours of firearms training and understand both the importance of the second amendment and the responsibility we have to protect innocent people from gun violence. We have rights and responsibilities, and I am committed to both.

BREAKING: The S.C. legislature just passed a ban on abortion after 6 weeks of pregnancy. The bill now heads to the governor, who is expected to sign the bill into law.

With finalized candidates for the general election here in Virginia, we've also updated candidate names and uncontesteds for the general this year. There are more uncontested R seats in the Senate than D but it's the opposite in the House.
