There’s a lot we need to get done next year. But I’m grateful for some of our accomplishments this year: more mental health support for servicemembers, $9B in stimulus checks, $7.7B for VA roads & bridges, and billions invested in broadband. Let’s keep going. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s critical that our courts are representative of the American people. I’m proud of the efficiency with which we’ve confirmed judges this year, and excited to see what this incredibly qualified class will bring to the bench. https://t.co/Jl5uE3Kmem — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Reid’s career — from Searchlight to the Majority Leader’s office — was an inspiration and a model of service to our nation. My thoughts are with Landra and his entire family. — PolitiTweet.org

Some of my favorite moments this year have been times when I’ve been getting to travel around the Commonwealth and talk to Virginians. Here’s to meeting more of you in 2022. https://t.co/M0wCQX80eL — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Proud of the work we did this year to help small VA businesses through the pandemic: $5.6 billion in PPP loans to businesses $200 million to concert venues $28.6 million in direct grants to restaurants. Small businesses keep Virginia great – support them this week if you can. — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing a joyous Kwanzaa to all celebrating! I hope this holiday brings you and your family light and peace. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Merry Christmas! I hope everyone celebrating has a wonderful holiday. I’m thinking especially of our servicemembers abroad who are far from their families today – we owe you a tremendous debt of gratitude. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Incredibly proud of the work our casework team has accomplished this year – it’s important to me that Virginians get the help they need navigating federal bureaucracy. https://t.co/xvYNehtYNw — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Helpful, but still a partial step. I introduced an NDAA amendment to mandate leadership & coordination on this issue at DoD, improve tracking, and provide clear guidance. That’s what’s needed. I’ll be pressing DoD on implementation & further action. https://t.co/61qAEh0ZRA — PolitiTweet.org

Omicron cases are on the rise. It’s more important than ever to get tested, follow public health guidelines, and get vaccinated/boosted. Do it for your neighbors, your friends, and your communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Traveling by plane this week? You may notice some VA airports could use upgrades – thankfully the bipartisan infrastructure law is going to get $400 million to VA airports, so travel days are smoother and safer. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

$10,647,903.09 = total amount of $$$ my office secured for Virginians this year through direct assistance with agencies like the IRS, VA, and SSA. If you’re having problems with a federal agency, our caseworkers might be able to assist you, too. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

It’s time to reform Section 230. The lack of control we have over nefarious content on the internet is unconscionable, but my SAFE TECH Act would provide avenues for legal accountability in cases like these. https://t.co/iGVLxo2OKu — PolitiTweet.org

Looking for a COVID test? Right now, 38 libraries across the Commonwealth are distributing at-home tests, so you can enter the holiday season with peace of mind. https://t.co/qDrSzUHbhi — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI: The Virginia Port Authority is getting a $20 million grant from @DOTMARAD for an offshore wind project. Proud to join @timkaine and @repbobbyscott to fight to make sure Virginia continues to lead on clean energy. https://t.co/KwzlFkRiO3 — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

We’re witnessing nothing less than an assault on democracy. We need to get voting rights done. https://t.co/cTCsvuWO82 — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

It’s been a little over a month since we passed the infrastructure law, and projects and grants are starting to roll out – meaning several billion dollars going directly to VA roads, bridges, broadband, airports, resiliency, electric vehicle charging, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

BIG NEWS: I advocated for a grant to support offshore wind in VA alongside @timkaine and @bobbyscott, and @DOTMARAD just awarded the Virginia Port Authority $20 million to make it a reality. Virginia is – and will continue to be – a leader in offshore wind energy. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

On Friday, we finished out our year of confirming a tremendous amount of highly-qualified federal judges – 3 sit in Virginia, 70% are people of color, and 80% are women. I know they will all make incredible contributions to the federal bench. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Yesterday, @USDOL & @DHSgov announced 20,000 extra H-2B temporary nonagricultural worker visas – something I’ve been advocating for to help support our seafood industry in VA. This will be a tremendous benefit to small, family-owned businesses that need temporary help. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

The effects of climate change are already here. Storms are more frequent and more violent. That’s why @timkaine and I requested $60 million in funding for the Norfolk Storm Risk Management Project – we need to protect the lives and livelihoods of Virginians. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

When we passed the bipartisan infrastructure law last month, it was the biggest investment in public transit EVER. That’s a big deal for our climate, for the people that use these systems, and for their future expansion and improvements. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Last week, the USDA announced VA school meal programs will get $34.6 million to help ease some of the strain the supply chain, and $4.4 million will go directly to helping VA schools get locally sourced foods in cafeterias. That’s a win for students and local suppliers. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

My thoughts are with the entire Potts family as they mourn the loss of Russ, an incredible state senator, Virginian, and friend. I had the privilege of working alongside him for many years and witnessing his incredible personal and professional legacy — a tremendous loss for VA. https://t.co/RKYhk9uveD — PolitiTweet.org

I hate to repeat myself, but it’s the most important public health message you’ll hear this season: it’s easy, fast, and free to get a vaccine or booster. Go to https://t.co/PIthq0EFlX to find an appointment. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

This week, I was proud to cosponsor the Act for ALS Act, which unanimously passed the Senate – it’ll help accelerate research to find cures for neurodegenerative diseases. It’s a win for those affected by these diseases and their families, as well as our scientific communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Johnny Isakson was a good man, and he was my friend. I’ll miss him. — PolitiTweet.org

Here's some of what we got done this week: 💻 Announced more grants to expand broadband 👪939K VA families received the CTC 🎖️Passed the defense bill, bringing military funding to VA 🗳️Advocated for a voting rights law 📝Passed a bill to condemn genocide against Uyghurs — PolitiTweet.org

I’m going to stay on top of the issues with the Metro, because I know how essential it is for our region. https://t.co/U1PnH1CPKU — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

It’s frustrating to see some of my colleagues playing blame games about the supply chain without taking action to address it. My CHIPS Act would help ease a major strain on the supply chain by bringing semiconductor manufacturing back to America. Let’s get it done. — PolitiTweet.org
