Virginians will soon have more access to the ballot box—not less. Glad to see the Senate pass my proposals to expand early voting and make Election day a state holiday. Let's get this done. https://t.co/7bj4wnj7F2 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Something exciting is brewing in Southside Virginia! It was great to be in Rocky Mount with @FirstLadyVA yesterday to announce that @tradmedicinals will invest nearly $30 million to build a new facility in Franklin County, creating more than 50 jobs. ☕ https://t.co/Jm9YbqW0rB https://t.co/4eB8Xup3bZ — PolitiTweet.org

We are all thankful that today passed without incident. The teams successfully de-escalated what could have been a volatile situation. I will continue to listen to the voices of Virginians, and will do everything in my power to keep our Commonwealth safe. https://t.co/xrHxhOczvv — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

I am grateful that this Executive Order stands, and that it will help ensure the safety of all Virginians on Monday. My full statement: https://t.co/nOOWGX74MR — PolitiTweet.org

At @VAUnion1865's annual Community Leaders Breakfast today honoring Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., I spoke about his work as a “drum major for justice”—we can best honor Dr, King's legacy by remembering his lessons not just one day a year, but every day. https://t.co/SNOFmtcmCO — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

This is the right decision. I took this action to protect Virginians from credible threats of violence. These threats are real—as evidenced by reports of neo-Nazis arrested after discussing plans to head to Richmond with firearms. Read my full statement: https://t.co/UE4WSbvOIL — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

We support citizens’ rights to peacefully protest and express their views to their elected officials. But we must also keep the public, as well as those who work around Capitol Square, safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Based on these threats, I am declaring a state of emergency in Richmond from Friday evening until Tuesday evening. This will include a ban on weapons of any kind in Capitol Square during that time. Learn more here: https://t.co/k8bxLj6odF — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

This intelligence suggests militia groups and hate groups, some from out of state, plan to come to the Capitol to disrupt our democratic process with acts of violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

We have received credible intelligence from our law enforcement agencies of threats of violence surrounding the demonstration planned for Monday, January 20. This includes extremist rhetoric similar to what has been seen before major incidents, such as Charlottesville in 2017. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Virginia has made history—with today's votes in the General Assembly, our Commonwealth becomes the 38th and final state needed to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. Today, we are one step closer to ensuring true gender equality is enshrined in our Constitution. #VAratifyERA — PolitiTweet.org

For the first time in decades, commonsense gun safety measures are finally advancing in the Virginia legislature. This is the first step in the process—Virginians are demanding real action on gun violence, and they are watching. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Pam and I send our deepest condolences to the loved ones of U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Ian P. McLaughlin, of Newport News, killed in Afghanistan along with Pfc. Miguel A. Villalon. We are grateful for their service and indebted to them for their sacrifice. https://t.co/DqxoMWIsvp — PolitiTweet.org

I’m outlining my agenda to advance to historic justice and equity in our Commonwealth—these proposals will help us tell the full and accurate story of Virginia’s past. Watch here: https://t.co/SNdePsaKTG — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

We’ve got a lot to do for the people of Virginia. And when we do it right, treating each other with respect and decency, our Commonwealth will once again show the country how to lead. Let’s make Virginia proud. #SOTC https://t.co/KZV5Pse5m8 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Tonight, I’ve presented an agenda that is different from every previous General Assembly session. It’s a lot bolder, and it’s more forward-looking than ever before. I’m here as your Governor because I’m a builder, and I hope you will choose to build too. #SOTC — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

We all represent everyone who lives in this great Commonwealth. Whether we know them, or whether we like them. It calls us to reach out of ourselves, to be larger, to be generous of heart. To be forgiving, and to treat each other as we would like to be treated. #SOTC — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Virginians spoke in November, and they expect votes and laws to make Virginia safer. Let’s have an honest conversation based on fact, not fear—these laws are intended to keep Virginians safe. Period. It’s time to act. #SOTC — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Gun violence takes the lives of more than 1,000 Virginians every year—three people every day. Virginians have had enough of the vigils and the funerals, enough of the mourning. They made that clear at the ballot box. #EnoughIsEnough #SOTC — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

This means decriminalizing marijuana possession—and clearing the records of people who’ve gotten in trouble for it. It means making permanent the temporary policy passed last year—the one that says no more suspended driver's licenses, just because you owe court fines. #SOTC — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

We need to take an honest look at our criminal justice system, to make sure we’re treating people fairly—and using taxpayer dollars wisely. And it’s time to temper justice with mercy. #SOTC — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

We need to let localities decide what to do with the Confederate monuments in their community. They know the right thing to do. #SOTC — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

In recent years, Virginia has steadily added more restrictions on voting. This infringes on our most basic civil right as Americans. We need to make it easier to vote, not harder. #SOTC — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

It’s time to remove the overtly discriminatory language from Virginia's books. Then, we will pass comprehensive protections in employment, housing, and public accommodations for LGBTQ people. These are important steps toward building a more equal, just, and inclusive state. #SOTC — PolitiTweet.org
