I’m proposing to increase the minimum wage in Virginia starting May 1, 2021, go to $11 on January 1, 2022, and to $12 in January 2023. This will support working Virginians and help our economy rebound as quickly as possible from #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org

This new law will advance environmental justice and create clean energy jobs in Virginia, proving that a clean environment and a strong economy can go hand-in-hand. I'm proud to sign this legislation––RGGI will be next! https://t.co/MGWJwVUp33 — PolitiTweet.org

I have signed legislation that repeals Virginia’s voter ID law, makes Election Day a state holiday, and expands access to early voting. Voting is a fundamental right––these laws strengthen our democracy by making it easier to cast a ballot, not harder. https://t.co/Uvaocr1pHH — PolitiTweet.org

Every Virginian deserves access to a fair and equitable criminal justice system––these bills combat mass incarceration, increase support for returning citizens, and ensure that those who have paid their debt to society have a meaningful second chance. https://t.co/unQRbdPqwH — PolitiTweet.org

Racial discrimination is rooted in many of the choices about who and what to honor in Virginia, and in many of the laws that have historically governed this Commonwealth. That version of history has been given prominence and authority for far too long. — PolitiTweet.org
