this cycle. Really excited to announce that I’ve been chosen as a
@BLC_Fellows
& will be working as a campaign manager in VA in 2021. So grateful for the opportunity to continue this work!!
If you had told me one year ago, I would be a campaign manager, I wouldn’t have believed you. I am so grateful I’ve had the opportunity to manage an incredible candidate & an exciting race thanks to
@BLC_Fellows
. This is only the beginning!!!
In the campaign world, we don’t talk enough about the stress that comes with being unemployed after Election Day. If I can be helpful to ANYONE, pls PLEASE reach out to me. I am *happy* to review resumes / cover letters, connect you to folks, or be a sounding board.
I stopped by our Short Pump staging location to pick up a couple packets to knock today, and let me tell you these women have a first-class operation going here! I was thoroughly impressed & very grateful for their leadership. They’re the reason

@TinaSmithMN
was sworn into her first full-term as a US Senator from MN!!! This incredible woman is the highest ranking former Planned Parenthood exec in US politics. I can’t believe I got to work for such a fierce advocate & fighter 🥺👏🏼

in the VA Senate!!! No one is going to represent this district better.
In VA Senate, Schuyler VanValkenburg (D) appears to have defeated Siobhan Dunnavant (R) in
#SD16
. If Russet Perry's (D) narrow lead holds in
#SD31
, Dems would be guaranteed to keep the majority.
Got to vote for

@TinaSmithMN
, and

today. I was so emotional!!! There’s no cooler feeling than getting to vote for an incredible candidate you’ve worked so hard to re-elect. Oh yeah and here’s a cute picture of me after I voted. ❄️🗳
4 yrs ago, as a senior at UT, I attended the Women’s March. I’d never been to a rally, march, or protest before. It was 1 of the most empowering days & the reason I got into politics. Now 4 yrs later, I’m a CM in VA working to protect our Dem majority. That day changed my life.
I am safe & sound in my home. Thank you to everyone who has checked in on me 💕 I really appreciate it. I live less than a mile from the Capitol, so I am staying alert & following the news. But thankfully hunkering down with my roommates.
As someone who worked in digital on a Senate race, I am *constantly* inspired by leaders like
@cid__5
+
@just_jenkins
who are making sure our campaigns are accessible to as many people as possible. THIS is how we expand our electorate and build an inclusive democracy. CONGRATS 🥳
Can’t contain my excitement at the news that
@GinaOrtizJones
is being nominated to serve as undersecretary for the USAF! As the daughter of two AF vets, former GOJ staffer, and San Antonio native, this is just HUGE. I can’t think of anyone better to serve in this role. So proud.
I'm trying something new this year, so we have union-printed "My Pride Is Fully Vaxxed!" shirts for people who donate $25+ through the ActBlue link below.
They come in snug and unisex fits so check it out and thanks for supporting my campaign!

and just spoke to a woman who was so excited to hear she could vote early today in-person and didn’t have to wait until Tuesday! Now she’s headed to vote right now. We are literally getting out the vote in the
#72nd
for Democrats 👏🏼👏🏼
My heart is heavy hearing about the shooting on 6th St. I’m absolutely sick as I’m texting & calling friends who I know were out & who live nearby. The fact that < a mile from 6th is the Capitol where GOP just passed a law to allow permitless carry of handguns. Gun reform now.
There are a TON of great ppl / orgs that made TX competitive this cycle. But I really want to highlight the incredible work
@LinaHidalgoTX
is doing in Harris County. If you’re someone who works in progressive politics who isn’t following this amazing woman, change that now!!!
As someone who cares deeply about progressive politics & about the state of Texas, I am so tired of seeing these takes online. Please do not give up on an entire state bc of failed GOP leadership that are only in power bc of decades of voter suppression & gerrymandering.
Texas - we hear you. You didn’t want to be part of our electrical grid. And now you’ve removed your mask mandate & are allowing large crowds to gather. We hear you! COVID is a hoax! So u don’t need our precious vaccine. We’ll send it to ppl who are saving lives by wearing masks.
Proud to have cast my vote today in Richmond for
@jonesjay
for AG!! He’s the leader Virginia needs to reform our justice system, protect our environment, and fight for working families. Everyone get out and vote either today, tomorrow, or Tuesday!!
Happy birthday to the one & only,

When I first started working for
@TinaSmithMN

@SenWarren
on childcare. They’ve been such passionate advocates of this for so long, and I am so proud they got it done 😍🥰✨
We can’t send parents back to work if their child care is gone.
@SenTinaSmith
and I have been fighting for a $50 billion child care bailout since April – and today we got it done. Woo-hoo!
Just had a great convo with a young voter who told me she was doing her makeup to go to the polls and was listening to an
@crookedmedia
podcast to get hyped before voting. And then she thanked me for phonebanking!! Love that energy✨✨✨✨

Both my parents are teachers, and it’s honestly been such a JOY hearing them teach from their remote classrooms set up in our house these past four days. Right now, I can hear my dad reading The Giver to his class. Teachers are the best.
Before
