From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving, Virginia! Grateful for my wife, Mavis, our boys Charles and Zachary, and family and friends across the Commonwealth — and to Virginians for entrusting me as your next Attorney General. Wishing everyone a safe and restful day!

Today is the day! Proud to cast my vote for our Democratic ticket. I’m grateful for everyone who has stood with us in the fight for progress, opportunity, and safety for all. Let’s make history, Virginia.

I'm running for Attorney General to put Virginia first – to lower costs, defend our fundamental rights, and keep our communities safe. The stakes of this race couldn't be higher, and the contrast couldn't be more clear.

This race is about who will deliver for Virginians. I have plans to defend against federal overreach, protect our rights, and keep our communities safe. Meanwhile, Jason Miyares’ only plan is to continue supporting President Trump’s agenda in Virginia.

Jason Miyares “has made clear that he would use every lever of power to delay, distort, or derail the reproductive freedom amendment, even without clear legal authority to do so.” As AG, I’ll do everything I can to protect a woman’s right to choose. vadogwood.com/opinion/opin...

I’m running for Attorney General to put Virginia first – to fulfill the promise of progress, opportunity, and safety for every Virginian. Together, we can build a brighter future for ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren.

Virginia – we are one week out from Election Day! It’s time to make your voice heard and help deliver a safer, fairer, more just Commonwealth for all. Let’s do this!

Jason Miyares refused to join other AGs challenging Trump’s illegal tariffs. Now, the average Virginia family will pay $2,400 more per year in higher costs. Unlike my opponent, I’ll stand up to policies that raise costs.

It was an honor to meet with pastors from across Hampton Roads this morning. As a Catholic, I've always drawn strength from faith and community — the same values that guide me in this campaign and in service.

Virginians deserve an Attorney General who will put people over special interest donors. That’s why I made a consumer protection plan to take on predatory lenders, hold scammers accountable, and put money back in Virginians’ pockets.

From abortion access to voting rights, the Attorney General decides whether Virginians move forward or backward. I’m running to make sure your rights are protected, no matter who’s in the White House.

My opponent won't help protect Virginians who are victims of housing discrimination and unsafe living conditions, because he's spent years taking millions from corporate landlords and slumlords. Jason Miyares will always put profits over people. americanjournalnews.com/miyares-reco...

americanjournalnews.comMiyares’ record shows a long history of siding with landlords over rentersMiyares and his wife made $2.5 million from a family rental company accused of slumlord practices.

As the father of two young boys, I know what it’s like to feel the squeeze of grocery prices every week. I’m running for Attorney General to protect families’ pocketbooks from rising costs – whether it’s utility rate hikes or the price of berries.

Such a pleasure to spend time with Petersburg Democrats! It’s always great to connect with community leaders fighting to strengthen our democracy and move Virginia forward.

This race will decide whether we have an Attorney General who defends our freedoms, protects our democracy, and prioritizes the needs of Virginians – or one who takes directives from Donald Trump. The stakes couldn’t be higher.

Some of the most meaningful moments on the campaign trail have been worshipping with communities across the Commonwealth. Wherever we gather, there’s always strength in faith and unity.

Fired up after launching today’s canvass with Virginia AFL-CIO members! Union workers are the backbone of our economy, and as Attorney General, I’ll always have their backs – defending fair wages, safe workplaces, and the right to organize.

While Trump and his allies play games with Virginians’ livelihoods, @jasonmiyaresva.bsky.social won't stand up to him. As AG, I’ll take action to stop any illegal firings, because our federal workers deserve better than to be pawns in Trump's political games. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

washingtonpost.comTrump administration begins laying off federal workers amid shutdownWhite House budget director Russell Vought said reductions in force were underway.

Stopped by an early voting site in Eastern Henrico this afternoon alongside Senator Aird to chat with voters and thank our volunteers. When we vote, we make our voices heard and shape Virginia’s future. Let’s do this!

One week into Trump’s shutdown and he’s threatening to cut off pay for Virginia's furloughed workers – and @jasonmiyaresva.bsky.social hasn't lifted a finger to protect them. VA deserves an AG who will fight for our workforce, not one too afraid to stand up to Trump. www.axios.com/2025/10/07/t...

axios.comScoop: White House memo says furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to backpayA move to deny backpay to up to 750,000 furloughed workers would dramatically escalate Trump's pressure on Democrats to end the shutdown.

Today, we honor the more than 1,200 innocent lives lost, including 46 Americans, in Hamas’ horrific terrorist attack two years ago. We must demand the release of all hostages and remain steadfast in our pursuit of lasting peace and resolution for both Israelis and Palestinians.

My heart is broken for my friend, Delegate Candi Mundon King, and her family. Mavis and I are praying for peace and healing for Candi, Josh, and the entire King family during this devastating time.

Protecting families’ access to healthcare should be a top priority of every Virginia leader. But @jasonmiyaresva.bsky.social is standing by Trump’s side as his legislation tears through our rural healthcare and guts coverage for 350,000 Virginians. www.pilotonline.com/2025/09/22/f...

pilotonline.comFederal funding changes mean about 350,000 Virginians could lose health care coverageThe state of health care in Virginia, especially in rural areas, is uncertain after changes in federal funding.

As we meet folks across the Commonwealth, we’re hearing concerns about the same issues: rising costs of healthcare, groceries, housing, and attacks to abortion access.
