A pay freeze is a pay cut.

We’re going to fight for as much as we can get as soon as we can get it.

Deciding when and how to build a family is a deeply personal choice that belongs to families, not politicians," said Walkinshaw.

Trump finds money for war while families get excuses.

Americans across our country rely on the critical services that the nonpartisan, highly skilled federal workforce provides. Instead of supporting these workers, Donald Trump continues to attack them. The merit-based federal workforce is a…

Donald Trump tried to turn America’s 250th anniversary into his own personal birthday party, and American people rejected that.

Democrats put forward common sense reforms to just put some guardrails on ICE and CBP, and what we said is these agencies should operate like any other law enforcement agency.

Tonight, northern Virginians have sent a very powerful message: The reckless Trump agenda must come to an end.

This is a five-alarm fire moment for democracy. Step one to stopping Trump is securing a big win for the Virginia Democratic ticket in 2025 and step two is taking back Congress in 2026.

This victory was powered by neighbors, volunteers, and supporters who believe in protecting our democracy, defending our freedoms, and delivering for working families.

I’m honored & humbled to have earned the Democratic nomination for the district I’ve spent my career serving.

There’s a lot of stress and anxiety created by the reckless Trump administration actions.
