The only path to cheaper anything is Republican leadership.
Everywhere Democrats are in charge, taxes and costs go up.
The highest cost of living states are Democrat-run. The lowest cost of living states are Republican-run.
It’s not complicated.

Today is a good day to remind you that Virginia Senate Democrats voted down a gas tax holiday.
They talk about “affordability,” but when push came to shove they chose to keep you paying more at the pump.

PSA: Early voting for midterm elections is underway.
As Democrats continue to raise costs & taxes in Richmond, Republican leadership in Washington is especially important to lower taxes and keep Virginia moving forward.

This isn’t just an Arlington County problem - it’s a Virginia-wide problem.
Democrats not only cut breaks for illegal aliens, they want to reduce sentencing and abolish mandatory minimums for ALL lawbreakers.
Democrats will not keep your family safe.

All of these cases are from the past two months alone.
It’s beyond clear that Virginia has an epidemic of violent criminal illegal aliens.
Yet Virginia Democrats continue to obstruct good-faith efforts to get them off our streets.
Sanctuary policies are failing Virginia.

Unfortunately, this is par for the course under Abigail Spanberger.
She governs for clicks and headlines, not to actually deliver anything of substance to Virginians.
Her tenure has been one big virtue signal while failing to fulfill any of her promises to make life more affordable for working families.
Did Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger rush to announce a data center plan last week so she had something to talk about during Climate Week in New York City?
That’s what some Virginia political insiders believe—so that Spanberger can say she has the most aggressive data center plan in the country this week.
That claim, by the way, is extremely questionable.
Other states have paused data center development and issued moratoriums. Spanberger has not. And all the local community groups in Northern and Central Virginia I’ve spoken to say Spanberger’s data center plan is weak and insufficient.
Chris Miller, the Piedmont Environmental Council president said, “There are some positive elements in the framework, but it does not address the immediacy of this crisis or bring adequate oversight and accountability. It largely addresses standards on new data centers and does not deal with what’s already built and in the pipeline, along with the ongoing impacts piling up in communities now.
A moratorium – a pause on all development and new applications – should be the first step so we can fully address the many impacts on the state and residents. The Governor’s approach is an ambitious framework to develop a plan, most of which is subject to legislation, regulation, budget and actions of localities and the private sector. It does not address the continued connection of data centers to the grid, despite inadequate power and the many impacts on air quality, water supply, electric bills, and people and communities. Not to mention the hundreds of miles of proposed transmission lines, solely to support data centers, that threaten our natural and historic resources, wildlife habitat, and will take private lands by eminent domain across the state. There is already over 280 million square feet of data center development in the pipeline, largely approved locally, and 53.8 GWs in energy contracts held by Dominion Energy. The scale of the explosive growth of data centers in Virginia, and the wide reaching impacts on communities, our electric bills, and the environment requires a pause to work out the complex details of implementation. The industry has operated without sufficient oversight and accountability for far too long. Communities need a pause and real protection, not just a framework to guide the 2027 legislative process. If the Governor is really serious about this, then call a special session of the General Assembly and deal with this now.”

There’s a reason Abigail Spanberger tried to hide this attack on women’s sports from public view.
She knows this is deeply unpopular. She knows this will be terrible for girls’ sports and student safety, and is a direct assault on parental rights.
But she did it anyway because as hard as she tries to keep up the moderate charade, she’s a radical leftist at heart.

Republicans in Washington passed “No Tax on Tips” at the federal level, saving some of Virginia’s hardest workers thousands of dollars on their tax bills.
Virginia Democrats immediately killed a similar effort at the state level from @EmilyJordan4VA earlier this year - despite the Commonwealth running well ahead of revenue projections.
Just another broken “affordability” promise.

“Sanctuary politicians in Fairfax County refused to honor the detainer and released Mendez-Escobar on October 27 without notifying ICE.”
This is what Virginia Democrat sanctuary policies look like in action.
Virginians deserve better.

As @RyanMcDougle made clear, Virginia Republicans’ top priority on data centers is simple: how can we reduce Virginians’ power bills?
Democrats’ RGGI and VCEA scams have sent electricity bills soaring. The #1 goal should be affordability.

The Democrat blame game doesn’t help anyone.
Instead of fighting with each other, Democrats should’ve worked WITH Republicans to pass common-sense legislation to hold criminals accountable.
🚨NEW: In an interview with @katieleebarlow Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano (D) blamed Governor Abigail Spanberger's (D) administration for allowing Abdulloi Toshpulodzoda to obtain a passport and board a flight at Washington Dulles International Airport to his home country of Tajikistan after being charged with murdering a man in Fairfax County.

Protecting women’s sports shouldn’t be a partisan issue.
It’s just comment sense that biological men don’t belong in girls’ sports or locker rooms.
Abigail Spanberger and Virginia Democrats are waging a war on common sense.
Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger ended a rulemaking that would have prevented biological males from competing in girls’ sports and using girls locker rooms and bathrooms.

Abigail Spanberger’s VERY FIRST action in office was to make it more difficult for state & local police to cooperate with federal authorities.

Instead of targeting violent gun offenders (Democrats want to reduce mandatory minimums for them), Jay Jones is spending taxpayer resources to enforce a law that blatantly violates the Second Amendment.
It has never been more clear that Democrats’ ultimate goal is the confiscation of every privately-owned firearm.

This heinous criminal found sanctuary in Virginia for too long thanks to Democrat policies blocking state & local law enforcement from working with federal authorities.
The federal government shouldn’t be working alone to keep Virginians safe. Virginians deserve leaders who want to get monsters like this off our streets rather than protect them from accountability.

Abdul El-Sayed campaigned with a radical anti-American activist who said that the United States “deserved 9/11” and called on his followers to murder “capitalists.”
By endorsing El-Sayed, Ghazala Hashmi is endorsing the company he keeps. Totally disgraceful.
New: Virginia Lt. Gov. Ghazala Hashmi endorsed Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.
“Dr. El-Sayed and I come from a shared tradition of education and public service, and we both understand the responsibilities that come with a focus on building resilient and healthy communities,” said Hashmi. “My decision to endorse reflects my alignment with Dr. El-Sayed’s stated priorities, including an economy that works for everyone, Medicare for All, affordable housing, clean air, water, and soil protections, and support for labor and the rights of working people.”
“Lieutenant Governor Hashmi has spent her career breaking barriers and opening doors for others,” said Abdul El-Sayed. “Her leadership has always been about delivering for the people she serves—from lowering costs and expanding access to healthcare to defending reproductive freedom and voting rights. I’m proud to have her support as we fight together to put working people back at the center of our politics.”

Hey Jay- little confused with your grammar…? Your stance to put public safety “last” is obvious, but did you mean to say it out loud?
(1/2) I'm proud to announce the creation of the Firearms Accountability & Industry Responsibility (FAIR) Unit. The OAG now has the power to bring cases against bad actors in the firearms sale and manufacturing industries,

“He is an illegal alien from Mexico who entered at an unknown time and date.”
Another one of Spanberger’s illegals.
This is who Virginia Democrats want to protect from deportation.
EXCLUSIVE: Illegal Alien Goes On Stabbing Spree In Virginia Town Killing One And Injuring Another
Staunton, Virginia: On August 30, the Staunton Police Department responded to a 911 call and discovered two female victims who had been stabbed. One victim was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other was transported to UVA Medical Center.
Freddi Chigo Mil, 32, was arrested at the scene.
@DHSgov tells @BorderHawkNews he is an illegal alien from Mexico who entered at an unknown time and date.
A gotaway.
Mil has been charged with second-degree murder and malicious wounding. ICE lodged a detainer with the Middle River Regional Jail the same day he was arrested, and is asking Governor Abigail Spanberger to not release him.
“This illegal alien from Mexico has been charged with murder after a stabbing spree that killed one woman and injured another,” said @SecMullinDHS.
“This is what the Commonwealth of Virginia has become under the sanctuary policies of Governor Abigail Spanberger and her fellow sanctuary politicians. ICE has lodged a detainer asking Governor Spanberger to cooperate with us and commit to not releasing this criminal from jail, so that he can be removed from our country once he faces justice. It’s time to put an end to these preventable tragedies.
Deporting illegal aliens saves lives.”

This is the ugly reality of Democrat rule in Virginia.
Gov. Spanberger replaced the entire parole board with left-wing social justice activists who view it as their #1 priority to release as many violent criminals as possible back onto our streets.
Second chances are a great thing. But not at the expense of protecting the safety of law-abiding families.
Meanwhile, Democrats in the legislature cheer this on and are working to abolish mandatory minimums for violent offenders.
None of this makes Virginia safer.
