I hope Democrats gain enough seats this fall to 'be a check on a lawless presidency.'

I did not need a poll to know that that would be what people would be talking about.

I believe we will win, but there’s been new challenges created for the candidates who have been working hard, who now have a primary coming up in August later than our typical June.

It’s unfortunate that they’re choosing to sue the commonwealth of Virginia. But we will continue to defend it because ultimately the law is about saving lives.

This sort of theatrical policing, like we’ve seen in some other states with the use of masks or facial coverings, is an expectation that law enforcement in Virginia — local, state and federal — not pursue.

Strengthening these institutions requires strong, effective governance across our colleges and universities.

Ideally it can be a model for what we do in other places.

We’ve medaled. We’re still not at the top of the pillars.

There are many students or new graduates who can’t afford to do an internship and go unpaid.

It isn’t just that the cost of doing business has improved; it’s that the cost of living has improved.

Both laws went into effect this month.

I have full confidence that their leadership will strengthen our world class institutions while upholding the values that make our commonwealth’s colleges and universities the envy of the world.

I am proud to appoint this talented group of individuals to serve on our higher education boards.

I am asking Virginians to do all you can to keep yourself and your loved ones safe. Stay hydrated, stay cool, and check on your neighbors.

The Governor signed this commonsense legislation to save lives and protect law enforcement officers, kids, and families from gun violence — and the Governor remains committed to making the Commonwealth a safer home for every family.

As Virginia expects record-breaking high temperatures leading up to and throughout the holiday weekend, the safety of all our neighbors is my highest priority.

I’m proud of our work to tackle the biggest challenges facing Virginia families.

I am signing this bill into law because firearms designed to inflict maximum casualties do not belong on our streets.

Virginia has a responsibility to make sure the data center industry is paying their fair share for the energy they use.

This budget reflects our shared commitment to strengthening Virginia schools, expanding economic opportunity, and addressing the affordability crisis.
