Cliff Hayes throws a heck of a good party and does even better work for Hampton Roads! Great to be in Portsmouth for Del. @CliffHayesJr’s kickoff. Couldn’t be prouder to call Cliff a friend.

(1/3) My grandmother's union membership allowed her to provide for the family after the death of my grandfather, and as a former dues paying union member myself, the power and strength of unions has played a critical role in my story.

Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones tells @SuriCrowe his message for Trump ahead of the midterms: “Don’t mess with Virginia because we’ve rejected you soundly time and time again.” Jones says he and other state AGs are ready to protect their elections and the right to vote.

A Virginia primary (emphasis on primary as the most democratic way to elect folks) leading off the presidential nomination process would cover all bases - large, incredibly diverse state, multiple media markets, urban and rural issues and secure election processes. Just saying.
