I am thrilled to have the endorsement of State Senator Stella Pekarsky. As a former teacher and former Chair of the Fairfax County School Board, Sen. Pekarsky knows how important it is to have leaders who listen to their communities and are ready to get to work on day one.

We need another teacher in the legislature!! After a disasterous 4 year Youngkin administration that fought to tear down public education and teachers (tip line!), Joy needs to be at the table to help rebuild public trust and respect our educators deserve!

JD Vance has said that “every civil servant” should be fired and replaced with partisan loyalists — “our people.”
That’s a threat to Virginia’s economy and an attack on the career public servants in our federal workforce.

Watching my Dad suffer from Parkinson’s for over 20 years was hard. I still miss him every day.

My friend @RepWexton is brilliant, wickedly funny, beautifully kind, and courageous beyond measure.
I’m proud to know her, I’m grateful for her friendship, and I hope everyone will listen to her important speech delivered by @RepMcClellan.
