Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

I'm leaving you with the strongest state budget Virginia has ever seen. Thanks to our strong economy we are at a unique moment—we have the funding to catch up on long-delayed investments while also putting money back into the pockets of the hardest working Virginians. #VASOTC — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Virginians choose leaders who will make our commonwealth work better for them and their families, no matter who they are or where they live.   I can confidently say that we have done that. We are leaving this Commonwealth better than it was when we came into office. #VASOTC — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

If you asked me who we are in Virginia, I would tell you we are people who care about each other. We try to treat each other right. We want our neighbors to succeed, just as much as we want that for ourselves. #VASOTC — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

We are only here for a short time—especially governors. But every day is an opportunity to help someone, to make their life better. And that is how we have governed. #VASOTC — PolitiTweet.org

BIG: December 2021 revenue numbers were up by nearly 20 percent—the fifth straight month of double-digit revenue growth in Virginia. As I close out my term as Governor, I’m proud to be leaving the next administration with one of the strongest economies we've ever seen. 🎉 — PolitiTweet.org

I was honored to join Virginia artist Stanley Rayfield today to unveil the official gubernatorial portrait. This portrait pays homage to our nation-leading COVID-19 response, strong economy, and work to make Virginia more welcoming to all. Thank you Stanley for a tremendous job! https://t.co/wXIdXzPgVd — PolitiTweet.org

I ran on establishing this program in Virginia, and I’m thrilled to see tuition free community college is already changing lives.  Learn more about how to apply: https://t.co/PiWWhnwooy — PolitiTweet.org

My administration has followed the science since day one of this pandemic, and that’s what we’ll do through our last day in office.  Learn more about the order here: https://t.co/O8CL4FwOuQ — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Virginia hospitals are seeing the highest number of #COVID19 patients in 22 months. Staff are exhausted. That's why today I signed a 30-day executive order to expand hospital bed capacity, boost healthcare staffing, and help health systems continue to care for Virginians. — PolitiTweet.org

This Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, I hope you will join me in honoring the men and women in uniform who protect and serve our Commonwealth. Thank you for all you do—today and everyday. https://t.co/DvVcsaigmp — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

My team and I have worked everyday to make our commonwealth work better for you and your families, no matter who you are or where you live. And the data prove that over the past four years, we've just done that. Read my op-ed in today's @virginianpilot: https://t.co/yHDNiO8bGM — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

NEW: I've just finished restoring the civil rights of 11,970 Virginians. Over the last four years, @virginia_soc and her team have helped me restore the rights of 125,846 people—who can now cast a ballot, run for office, and participate fully in our democracy. #SecondChances — PolitiTweet.org

@SpeakerPelosi @vsp 402 years after the American experiment began here and 160 years after Virginia served as capital of a failed rebellion against the union, I’m proud that on January 6 of 2021, we were the first to defend our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

@SpeakerPelosi Virginia stepped up. Our men and women in uniform dropped everything and raced to defend democracy. From a secure location, U.S Senators saw TV footage of @VSP troopers entering DC—and they cheered. https://t.co/MfLoUg87HA — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

One year ago today, I was pulled from my #COVID19 briefing to address escalating violence at our nation’s capital. @SpeakerPelosi was on the phone: “There is glass breaking. We’ve heard gunshots. Please send help.” — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

UPDATE: I've declared a state of emergency as Virginia prepares to respond to another large winter storm beginning tomorrow. These back-to-back storms will generate landmark winter weather that requires extra flexibility—particularly as many continue to deal with power outages. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

ICYMI: Virginia workers got a long-overdue raise on January 1st, as our Commonwealth increased the minimum wage from $9.50 to $11/hour. This will make a big difference for working families—but we still have a long way to go. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Virginia has worked hard to fight climate change and protect our planet: ✅ Nation-leading carbon reduction goals ✅ More funding for Chesapeake Bay than any previous admin. ✅ Major investments in clean energy, wind, and solar Virginians expect this progress to continue. 🌍 — PolitiTweet.org
