As a mother of six, I am tired of sending my kids to school not knowing if they will be safe. As an educator, I am tired of preparing my students for a school shooting. As Virginia's next State Senator, I will work to protect our schools by supporting gun reform.

As a teacher and mom this "F" grade from the @NRA is the first one I’ve ever been proud to earn. On the School Board I took on the NRA to ban guns from school property - and I won. Now I’m the only candidate in this race who’s never voted with the NRA - not once.

I've dedicated my career to public service. On the School Board, I expanded Title IX protections, increased teacher pay, and invested millions in school safety. That's the shortlist! I'm running for State Senate to keep protecting our rights & delivering for our community.

While VA failed to pass my legislation, SB 388, to lead the nation in protecting consumers and save them, on average, over $3000 a year in junk fees, I’m glad to see @POTUS is pushing forward. Businesses that are transparent and honest with their customers have nothing to lose

Today, the @FCC adopted a rule requiring cable and satellite TV companies to show consumers the full price up front so folks can get the best deal. All told, my Administration will save families more than $20 billion per year by taking on junk fees. And we're not stopping there.

As a mom of six, I am running to secure a brighter future for our next generation. I am proud to have earned the endorsement of @VOTVirginia because it’s time to protect abortion access, strengthen our schools, and stand up to MAGA Republicans who are trying to move us backward.

This is the most consequential election of our lifetimes in VA. If you think they will stop here with tearing down our rights, history tells another story. VA is the last place in the South where the government doesn’t control our bodies.

As an educator and mom of students in public schools, I am proud to have earned the endorsement of @FCFTcares . There is not one mom with kids in public schools in the Virginia State Senate. There are only a few teachers. It's time to change that.

Cutting the budget’s public education funding and vetoing common sense, badly needed bills like this one, which passed in a bipartisan fashion, clearly sends a message from Governor Youngkin. It’s not a good one. @VEA4Kids @VASenateDems

I’m working hard to make sure these people never have a say in my children’s education. The things the Repub endorsed candidates have said & done are extremist & scary. They think their lies & fear tactics will play well with voters, but they are in for an Election Day surprise

The @FairfaxGOP School Board slate is telling voters “we’re just moderates with different opinions”. Storming the Capitol building isn’t a moderate different opinion. I will do everything I can to protect our schools, and continue exposing the truth.

It’s time to speak now about junk fees. We know all too well how failure to disclose these fees hurts regular Virginians. I was proud to present my bill yesterday to protect consumers and ensure small businesses who follow transparent pricing practices are not disadvantaged.

Funds running out mid-year and essential student support ending? This is disruptive and irresponsible fiscal planning. Local governments cannot “pick up the tab” mid-way through the fiscal year.
