Proudly serving as the 75th Governor of Virginia.

Data centers in Virginia, not residential customers, should pay the costs of new transmission lines and substations their developments require. My Administration is urging the State Corporation Commission to take this commonsense step to protect families from increased costs, improve accountability, and set up a more affordable and reliable energy system.

Yesterday, I signed landmark legislation to make Virginia the first state in the South to create a paid family and medical leave program. This security will benefit families, workers, and businesses across the Commonwealth.

As I said today on WTOP, please stay off the roads as this weekend’s winter storm picks up. The safety of every Virginian is my top priority — and every Virginian will be impacted by this storm.

I spent the week making the argument that Virginia is THE best choice for trade, investment, tourism, agriculture, food & beverage, and innovation! And when we ended the trade mission in France, I made the argument in French (though it’s been a minute since I’ve put my UVA French degree to good use)!

Virginians deserve to know how a man who was convicted on terrorism charges and spent time in federal prison could carry out the horrific attack at Old Dominion University. As a former intelligence officer, I have serious concerns. A full FBI investigation is vitally important.

The scale of this President's corruption is unprecedented. The cover-up of the Epstein files. Crypto scams. Cozying up to billionaires for ballrooms. It's crystal clear: the President is working for himself — not the American people.

Virginia’s Executive Mansion holds incredible historical significance — and it’s also where my family has movie nights and family dinners.

Virginia is a leader in energy policy. We passed a first-of-its-kind energy consumption tax on data centers. And now, we're going to be the first state to run a group buying program for home solar and battery storage. We're taking real action to address high energy costs for Virginians and working to meet rising energy demand across the Commonwealth.

100 days. We've hit the ground running. Tackling the high cost of living. Bringing new business investment to Virginia. Investing in our workforce. Contending with reckless economic policies out of Washington. And we're just getting started.

I have ordered flags across Virginia to be lowered tomorrow in memory of Lt. Col. Brandon Shah, who was killed in the horrific attack at Old Dominion University. Our Commonwealth honors his heroism, his commitment to shaping the next generation, and his service to our country.

Our energy should be reliable, clean, homegrown, and — best of all — affordable. Today, Virginia rejoins the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative to ensure polluters pay. The money they pay into RGGI gets invested directly back into energy efficiency and flood resiliency. And with the RGGI Consumer Credit we established, none of that cost will be passed to Virginia's families and small businesses.

Four years ago today, the Dobbs decision sent reproductive rights into chaos across this country. But here in Virginia is making a different choice. While other states across the South and across the country rolled back rights, Virginia is moving forward — protecting access to contraception, to IVF, to the right to a safe and legal abortion.

We are establishing a clear definition of agrivoltaics. What does that mean? It means protecting farmers who want to use their land for clean energy generation while prioritizing their agricultural productivity. Virginia is a national leader in guiding us into our energy future — and in finding solutions that work.

We as Americans have the power to make change, the power to stand up for what is right, and the power to demand more of our nation. Let us use that power for good.

The President's reckless policies are making life more expensive for American families. Yet Republicans in Congress remain unwilling to stand up to him. The American people deserve better.

Virginians deserve better. Kids in elementary school are afraid to get on their bus, neighbors fear being targeted at the grocery store, and workers aren’t showing up to their jobs. That is the reality we are facing in Virginia and across the country and it has to change. That’s why I signed bills into law to ban law enforcement officers from wearing masks or face coverings to conceal their identities while on duty in Virginia, and why I issued an executive order to ban ICE officers from using state property to stage immigration enforcement.

Weeks of attacks. Millions of dollars spent misrepresenting my position — and President Obama’s — on this referendum. Virginia voters saw through it anyway.
