Spanberger Stan

The 2028 ticket perhaps?

"I have read the charging document" is coldhearted.

Governor Spanberger on Twitter today. MAJ Wilkerson was from a military family. She graduated from Maury High School and VCU. A quarter century after 9/11 and Virginians are still dying in the Middle East. We owe our soldiers sound and moral leadership and coherent strategic thinking.

Famed election analyst Chaz Nutteycombe is being cute on Twitter. But the meaning is clear. He's saying that Spanberger's crushing 58-42 victory in 2025 is the floor, not the ceiling, for Virginia Democrats. That would put VA-05, maybe even VA-06 on the table. And hopefully be repeated nationwide.

Just trying to imagine Glenn Youngkin - or Rob Wittman, John McGuire, Jason Miyares, etc. - doing this, LOL bluevirginia.us/2026/10/tues...

Jefferson, Wilder, Spanberger. 3 barrier-breaking Virginia governors from 3 different centuries.

Does Crowley get honorary CIA membership for this?

I was happy to see Abigail boost @caitfornewyork.bsky.social on Instagram today. She's running against the fake moderate Mike Lawler in New York. This is a majority-making seat, and Cait is the woman to seize it.

Governor Spanberger visited Tangier Island today (via Instagram). A very unique and remote part of Virginia.

Social media feeds people simplistic good and bad narratives, such that they recoil from any kind of nuanced take. When there's a powerful new technology, "use it with appropriate guardrails" is better than a wholesale rejection.

Only a few generations removed. Advances in liberty are not the inevitable tide of history, but the result of years of activism. And they have to overcome dedicated reactionary sentiment, not just apathy or inertia. The fight goes on.

Full video is here. She starts at 4:15 and speaks for 31 minutes. Some applause, some laughs. Also she gave a nice tribute to state senator Janet Howell. www.youtube.com/live/XyIekKV...

Reports of her unpopularity were greatly exaggerated. There was a basis for it; that's why she has higher disapprovals than Warner and Kaine. But this poll puts it into perspective. Dem critics of hers are highly online, but only a small portion of the actual electorate.

Governor Spanberger putting her French language skills to good use. Never gets old.

Governor Spanberger is in Britain, pushing Virginia's two best products (beer and weapons). Italy and France will conclude this weeklong trip.

Good to see! Another example of the unglamorous, routine work of government.

Best way to celebrate the 4th -- making new Americans. Here's to another 250!

Senator Russet Perry and Governor Spanberger had some bad blood over the data center listening tour. But I guess they reconciled, because Oak Hill State Park was added to the budget as an amendment. Oak Hill in Loudoun is the former home of James Monroe, where he retired after his presidency.

"Planes that land safely don't make the news." The numbers reported in here are spectacular. Double digit decreases in all sorts of categories of violence. That's a vast amount of human misery alleviated. And it's due to competent work from the executive, not new laws. Still work to be done.

It's finally over. We have a 2-year budget. No shutdown. And the General Assembly won't convene again until January.

The Virginia State Senate posted their budget online, ahead of the 2 PM Sunday deadline to avoid a shutdown. As soon as journalists read it and break it down, we'll know who got the longer end of the stick in the Spanberger vs. Lucas fight.

The budget proposed by the Virginia House of Delegates would remove the Confederate statues from the Virginia Capital grounds. Naturally the Blue Checks on the other site are enraged and crying about Spanberger's cruelty.

In a little over 90 minutes, you can watch Governor Spanberger's first long TV interview in months. I think it will be just as exciting as the US playing in the world cup.

Let's get it done and avoid the embarassment of a shutdown.

I wonder why there's so much bad blood in Richmond. 🤔

Housing is one of the biggest issues facing the commonwealth. It's why Virginians leave the state for places like Texas or North Carolina. So it's great to see her sign this. Congrats also to Cavco for getting to host this and give a tour of their facilities.

Putting words in her mouth. "Stop talking about it" is not the same thing as "don't do it." As the article says, she'd be open to new maps for 2028. But first we have to hit the near term target in 2026. After that, we'll have enough data to formulate a proper, national response.

Abigail posted this a few minutes ago. A sign to critics that she's not afraid of their disapproval.

The trick is to only be fans of the most dynamic and successful politicians, who will never miss a beat or let you down.

Local governments are facing a lot of fiscal pressures in this economy. She was right to demand a slower timeline. Also, she can't just yield to the General Assembly and their clownlike behavior forever. Eventually she has to call their bluffs.

She wasn't running for president on 2028 anyways, that timeline doesn’t work for VA Govs.

Means little, but I'm still quite happy to see Spanberger back in the positive. This poll has her polling 1.7 points ahead of the redistricting referendum, the opposite narrative from the last poll we saw.
