We are energized by the strong momentum in Trish White-Boyd's campaign in Senate District 4, and we have a highly competitive race in SWVA! This is a key seat that the democratic senate will need to protect the majority.
Thrilled to announce that our campaign is now officially a battleground for the Virginia Senate election this year! 🌟 We are fighting to restore prosperity here in #SWVA. A huge THANK YOU to our supporters! If you would like to help, please contribute at

Today, we honor the lives of the 32 students and faculty members who were tragically taken from their loved ones and our community on April 16, 2007.
On the 2023 Day of Remembrance, we reflect on the tremendous promise each of them embodied for our world. #VTWeRemember 🧡
