Think people are making too much of data center noise? Turn up the volume. I’ve heard these concerns at every stop on our Data Center Listening Tour. I’ve read them in your comments. So I went to hear it for myself. That’s a data center you hear behind me during this interview. In the middle of the day. Beside a playground. People aren’t asking for too much. They’re asking for some peace in their own neighborhoods. And they deserve better than being told, “It’s not that bad.”

They promised Virginia jobs. But are Virginians getting them? I recently visited data centers in Northern Virginia and met a worker who told me most of the employees he knows come from Maryland. Then I saw the parking lot. If Virginia is giving this industry billions in tax breaks, we deserve to know who’s actually getting the jobs.

It’s time to get our heads out of the sand. Data centers are growing. Their profits are growing. And the burden on Virginia families is growing right along with them. That’s not a fair deal. That’s freeloading. We made progress this year. But I won’t stop fighting until data centers pay their fair share. #DataCentersPayUp #VAFairShare

I grew up during the Civil Rights Movement. That fight shaped me. I’m honored to receive the Phenomenal Woman of Courage Award at the Dr. Alison P. Riddle-Fletcher Women’s Health Symposium. Long before I held public office, I learned what courage looks like. I saw it in every day people who refused to accept injustice. They taught me that progress is never permanent. It must be protected. It must be carried forward. The fight continues. And so do I.

Virginia has reached a 10-1 redistricting agreement. This moment reflects commitment to fair representation for communities across the Commonwealth and our nation.

How close is too close? For too many families across Virginia, massive data center campuses are right across the street from their homes. Their concerns about noise, health, and their communities deserve to be heard. That’s why we’re listening. Join us tomorrow in Emporia for our next Data Center Listening Tour stop.

Abigail said I was frustrated but the real problem was I couldn’t hear her over the data center noise.

A data center right next to a children’s playground? Unconscionable. Virginians deserve better. Democrats and Republicans are working together to rein in this industry, protect our communities, and make sure data centers pay their fair share. Governor Abigail Spanberger , I’m still waiting on that call.

Barbara Johns stood up as a teenager in Virginia and demanded an education for herself and everyone else that looked like her. Her legacy shaped us into the Commonwealth we are today. Now she stands in Statutory Hall representing Virginians next to George Washington.

VIRGINIA- We have until 7 p.m. on Tuesday to spread the word and turn out the vote to save our Commonwealth. List to what Speaker-Emerita Pelosi and I said today- and RETWEET this so every Virginian hears our message before the polls close.

To every young woman I met today, if somebody tries to keep their foot on your neck, stand up and keep going until they have to call you Madam Chair. I know a little something about that. When I entered the Senate, I was told I would never even serve on Senate Finance. Now I’m the first Black person to chair it and the first Black woman elected President pro tempore of the Virginia Senate. I’m proud to serve alongside incredible women and even prouder to make a way for the next generation. Thank you, Southern Black Girls and Women’s Consortium , for bringing the Joy & Justice Tour to Richmond and inviting me to share my story.

Virginia is not for sale. The new tax on data centers is a start, but across Virginia, from rural towns to suburbs and cities, democrats and republicans are saying the same thing - we must do better. I hear you. And I’ll keep fighting until we do.

Thank you Senator Stuart for your kind words today. While we may have partisan differences on issues I care about your constituents and you care about mine- and that’s what makes this place work. ❤️

Packed room in Danville tonight. When decisions shape our communities, they shouldn’t be made behind closed doors. Virginians deserve a seat at the table. I’ll keep listening. I’ll keep fighting. Where should we stop next?

Some people don’t want these conversations to happen. That’s exactly why we’re having them. Across Virginia, Senator Mamie Locke and I have heard from parents, teachers, grandparents, farmers, and small business owners. Different backgrounds, one message: they want to be heard before decisions are made, not after. We’ll keep showing up. We’ll keep listening. Because there’s more power in the people than people in power

Today abortion rights on the ballot in Virginia. With one hour until the polls close I want you to remember how angry we all were when our rights were taken away- we need you to bring that 🔥 to the polls today.
