Delegate Katrina Callsen

Going to make an exceedingly rational statement, that this man is an asshole. ✅🧐

Less than two weeks to get people to the polls and get Tom elected! I’ll be there! www.mobilize.us/va26cc/event...

Always a joy to visit @uvalaw (although it’s been long enough since I was a student that I needed a map!). We discussed ethical decision making in elected leadership and the students were incredibly insightful, inquisitive, and pretty much ready to lead themselves! Thanks for having me!

Great canvass launch in Goochland today with @jennmcclellanva.bsky.social @goochlanddems.bsky.social and @vayd.bsky.social in support of @tomperriello.bsky.social. We need to send Tom back to Congress because VA's CD-5 deserves a representative who will listen, lead, and fight for its communities.

Rethinking my social media strategy. Need trashier videos. ♻️🗑️🚛

A bigger monopoly ≠ lower bills. Tell the SCC: Virginians come first. Comment by Nov. 9 at scc.virginia.gov - case PUR-2026-00112. Thank you @ltgovhashmi for giving folks a voice.

At the ACPS School Board meeting, another seat is vacant due to Dillenbeck’s resignation. They will need applicants from the Rio District. If you know good people or have questions about what service looks like I’m happy to talk. We need good leaders from all backgrounds!

Today, I released the Energy Costs Listening Tour Report, documenting those discussions and the research that followed. My conclusion: the proposed takeover of Dominion Energy by NextEra is not in the best interest of Virginians. Read the Energy Costs Listening Tour Report at vaenergytour.com.

Good times as a panelist at the CHESSA Energize Summit (Chesapeake Solar & Storage Association). It was held in Cville this year, which makes sense since we are a growing renewable energy hub - bringing more jobs and more energy to projects across the region.

From 2009 to today TFA & LEE have helped me teach, learn, & grow into a leader focused on service to others. It drove me to write legislation to boost accelerated math, to make educ. transitions easier for kids in foster care + more. Grateful to have a weekend to be inspired by my peers old & new. 🍏

Cville peeps, this is not a drill, it's a winnable campaign! Dems have an awesome candidate and the wind at our back. Here's how to get involved and help flip our congressional district👇🏽

Great to hear @tomperriello.bsky.social, @katrinacallsen.com, and @creighdeeds.bsky.social speak this evening at the @cvilledems.bsky.social Fall Bash. Really good energy in the room!

I hope you all roll into your weekend with the same level of enthusiasm as these kids biking home today with City of Promise , @jenfleisher.bsky.social and me 🚶🏽‍♀️🚲🙌🏽🎉

Stand by it. The fact alone that they revealed substantial additional “teaser rates” wellllll into the review period is problematic. Doesn’t feel like generosity, feels like gaslighting. vadogwood.com/news/delegat...

Elk Hill recently expanded their Cville campus. They can now serve more students in brighter, healthier spaces. Thankful for the tour and to learn about the wraparound resiliency services they provide to students and families.

@creighdeeds.bsky.social and I attended the Justice is Community Summit. The real rockstars were the folks in the room who I see year after year, doing VERY hard work to create better futures for those exiting prison. Commonsense approaches to reduce barriers to jobs, housing, and healthcare. 🌅

Throwback Thursday…. (done on Friday because I’m a day behind like that). Tackling our housing crisis requires creative thinking and coalition building. I’m glad the Virginia Housing Alliance was recognized for their work!

Charlottesville, we’re coming your way on Monday, September 14. The Energy Costs Listening Tour is about hearing directly from you—your experiences, concerns, and ideas. Come share your story. Make your voice heard. Help shape what comes next.

Phone call public hearings are also still on the schedule: Nov. 5, 2026, 8:30–11 a.m., Nov. 9, 2026, 4–7 p.m., and Nov. 10, 2026, 4–7 p.m. Written comments are also accepted through Nov. 9. Find out how to participate here: www.scc.virginia.gov/about-the-sc...

It’s what I call yellow flower season 🌼🌼🌼on the Rivanna Trail. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a sea of yellow blooms near Pen Park. Want to explore the trail? Find a spot to start at rivannatrails.org/Map. Whatever you’re up to this Labor Day weekend, I hope you get time to enjoy the things you love!

Okay. Now for in person 🗣️ testimony about the ~67 billion $$ acquisition of our energy production by a Florida company of questionable repute trying to profit off our state. Myself and several colleagues have asked for this and more. www.scc.virginia.gov/about-the-sc...

I can’t recall the phrase…something about control disguised as altruism. I remember scrambling for a Dominion electric bus grant with ACPS in 2019. We got 2. The scarcity we’re made to compete for is often by design. The VCEA was being negotiated that same year. 👀 Go figure. I’m over the tactics.

Showing up matters. Grateful to spend time yesterday with @tomperriello.bsky.social , Rep. @jennmcclellanva , @mandy4cville , @zybryantforccs, and many more - democracy in action! 🗳️

I took my boys to Dollywood this summer. Always wanted the chance to see what one creative and bold woman created in the mountains of Tennessee to give back to her community. ❤️ She inspired countless women to tackle life with joy, humor, and strength. She is gonna be missed 🦋🦋🦋🦋
