Sen. Danica Roem

Susan's dedicated almost the entirety of her adult life to serving the Senate of Virginia, which means she's spent more than 50 years helping senators serve their constituents. She's left the Virginia General Assembly as a whole better than she found it, especially for women. Best wishes to her.

Shareholders win. Ratepayers lose. “In effect, the merger means NextEra’s role as a competitive supplier of power in PJM’s wholesale market would end, giving it & Dominion more control over power supplies in already tight #Virginia. That would clear the way for higher prices here, the monitor said.“

After federal Rs jacked up health insurance costs by passing HR 1, #Virginia Democrats passed our budget this year with $150M set aside to lower health insurance costs for ~200K people enrolling in Virginia‘s state-run exchange. Open enrollment begins Nov. 1. #valeg cardinalnews.org/2026/10/19/o...

Today in the City of Manassas Park, I stopped by the Blooms Crossing Day festival at Blooms Park, where I caught up with Mayor Alanna Mensing and former school board member Debbie McIntyre. Later, I had dinner in the city at Preston’s Pub, where my constituent Cindy left me a kind note. #Virginia

No state in the union does #NoKings quite like #Virginia, where it’s the seal and flag of the commonwealth. Great to see @repsuhas.bsky.social and a bunch of our constituents from Haymarket, Gainesville and Bristow (and neighbors from beyond) here in Haymarket. Sunday early voting begins tomorrow!

This is what demand for change looks like. This is what it looks like when people are fed up with the current administration and are fired up to vote for new leadership. To our volunteers across the district, keep up the good work – T-17 days.

Good morning from the Haymarket Day parade and festival here in the Town of Haymarket, #Virginia!

1) Dominion still has a demand-side problem from the data centers. 2) They're making excuses in 2026 for why they can't meet the 2045 VCEA requirements. A multi-trillion-dollar data center industry profiting from a multi-billion-dollar utility profiting in turn puts us last and shareholders first.

The Virginia General Assembly dedicated 1/3 of our budget to health care this year b/c of the HR 1 cuts. We also had to put aside nine digits to deal with the fallout from SNAP cuts. The next Congress needs a Day 1 reconciliation package to help states, localities and food banks. No waiting around.

For my Prince William County constituents: the PWC Office of Elections (Manassas) is open for early voting until 7PM tonight. So if you haven’t voted yet, head on over to 9250 Lee Avenue near the courthouse. 2️⃣0️⃣ days left until Election Day!

I just spoke about the local impact of this on Prince William County food banks tonight. Awful. -- "More than 100,000 Virginians have lost their SNAP benefits in the last year. ... Can food banks be a substitution for SNAP? I'd have to tell you, absolutely not. They're meant to work in conjunction."

Every time a data center that's on the grid goes off the grid, it immediately starts running on backup generators. There are more than 10,500 permitted diesel generators in Virginia serving data centers. When they're activated, expect plenty plumes of smoke. www.newsweek.com/map-shows-th...

In 2020, the Virginia General Assembly passed my bipartisan bill defining transition-related care as medically necessary. It also prohibits health insurers from discriminating against trans folks. When the feds set out to hurt, Virginia should step up to help. www.advocate.com/politics/sta...

Regarding Question 2 on the #Virginia ballot: A “Yes” vote: 1) Repeals the discriminatory section of the constitution banning legal recognition of same-sex couples; 2) Affirms marriage rights regardless of race (Loving v. Virginia), sex or gender (Obergefell v. Hodges); and 3) Bans child marriage.

Elected local government officials would no longer be allowed to sign agreements to keep what they're doing secret under sweeping new language in a bill sponsored by state Sen. Mike Jones, D-Richmond.

“Roem (said) NextEra wants to acquire Dominion b/c of the high number of DCs in its service area. “‘They are doing this to create the world’s largest-ever electric monopoly, so they can make money. ... who then also makes a ton of money? The data centers.” www.loudountimes.com/news/busines...

This alone should be disqualifying for the merger. We’ve had 120 years to learn from TR’s fight against the railroad monopolies. No deal. — ”They are doing this to create the world’s largest ever electric monopoly so they can make money,” said State Sen. Danica Roem www.dcnewsnow.com/news/local-n...

Today I am proud to present the 8th of my endorsements from Manassas City elected officials and community leaders. Thank you @pwcdanica.bsky.social Authorized by Friends of Dianne Lane for Manassas City.

Reminder: for the fourth year in a row in 2027, I’ll be introducing the budget amendment to end the data center sales tax exemption, which the Senate of Virginia adopted earlier this year though we couldn’t get it through conference. We need a moratorium on data centers, not tax giveaways to them.

The $67 billion Dominion-NextEra Merger could raise costs for Virginians and reduce competition in the power market. I have voiced my concerns, and you can make your own voice heard too. There’s an upcoming public comment hearing this Friday at 6 p.m. at the Fairfax County Government Center.

With Mayor Michelle Parks’ departure, the Manassas City Council will appoint an interim mayor to serve until the new one is elected. Tentative Special election date is November 2, 2027. Potential candidates for your Next Mayor are Tom Osina & Mark Wolfe. #manassas #soniavasquezluna #communityfirst

Update: Two of the three victims shot by the gunman died and the third is hospitalized but in stable condition, according to Manassas City Police.

It's over. So much bloodshed today in my lifelong hometown and it's just incredibly sad Manassas is going through this for the second time in a month. I'll be donating blood this afternoon. Please join me in finding a way to do something kind for someone today. www.insidenova.com/headlines/up...

Manassas: "Authorities are responding to an active shooter incident Wednesday morning in the 9400 block of Wellington Road... (LEOs) urged residents in the surrounding area to stay indoors, lock their doors, and avoid approaching the scene." Presser: 10AM near Wellington Road underpass at Route 28.

“The Prince William County Department of Transportation and Capital Construction will hold the meeting” about replacing the traffic light at the Parkway and Sudley Manor Drive and Wellington Road with overpasses from 6-8PM Oct. 7 at the Freedom Center (Manassas). manassasjournal.com/115-5-millio...

Update: it’s been just over a month since the flood that left thousands of people dead and missing in Nepal and the Manassas-based fundraiser to help the survivors is at 93.9% of its $100K goal. Here’s where to chip in: funds.anhsdc.org

Think data center noise is exaggerated? Turn up the volume. I went to hear it for myself. That’s a data center 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.
