Former governors
I called for an end to violence that is becoming far too common in our society.
I’m not against tariffs outright, but it is a blunt tool. You can’t just pull out the tariff hammer to swing at every problem without a clear defined end-goal.
I understand the motivation behind the tariffs, and I can tell you, here’s where President Trump and I do agree. We do need to make more stuff in America.
You mean to tell me that the success of the program and my re-election hinges on the Federal Reserve and a bunch of fucking bond traders?
This wasn't an easy decision because I love this state and I love serving you.
After a lot of thought, prayer and conversations with my family, I have decided I will not seek re-election in 2026.
Serving as your governor has been the greatest honor of my life, an opportunity that not so long ago I never could have imagined.
His policies are going to specifically hurt my people.
Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.
I’m not going to let them manufacture smears to try to tarnish my reputation.
This is kind of like a cherry on top where they agreed to make an additional contribution, and so we were served well by what AHCA did.
People now get their news from more different sources than, than ever.
I think it’s important that the Democratic Party is not simply against someone, but for something.
I think that’s just so important right now, when Americans don’t trust certain institutions, or at least want to be able to verify what they’re hearing through messages directly from their officials.
That’s how people communicate with each other. Not through something scripted, not through polling data, but to actually be real and authentic.
We want this to be something that’s more like people’s everyday lives, where you’re going to talk about politics for 20 minutes and then you’re going to switch to entertainment or sports, family or faith.
The state would conduct its own investigation and could bring charges that aren't available at the federal level.
The state would conduct its own investigation and could bring charges that aren’t available at the federal level.
I think it's a ridiculous assertion given that my opponent has been eager to claim credit for some of the funding that came through some of those federal dollars to Virginia's Commonwealth.
All of this impacts Virginia, and the stakes of this election reflect that.
While I share the president's goal of bringing good-paying manufacturing jobs back, it's got to be done right.
If you don’t have the hope piece, this is pretty bleak.
