The Democratic National Convention was held in Chicago August 18-22. It was a remarkable event where the party delegates came together and nominated Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz to be the next President and Vice President of the United States. It was a momentous week, not just for the party to pull together in joy and unity, but also to focus on policy issues important to you, our Virginia community.
As Democrats begin to engage each of you in the community this fall, know that our focus will be on issues that matter to you: lowering childcare costs for low-income families, women's reproductive health care, advancing voting rights, supporting sensible gun laws and reform, health care reform, and support for clean energy. We want to ensure that communities have decent and affordable housing and that students are not saddled with exorbitant loans just to obtain an education. We believe that education needs to be affordable and accessible. Public schools should have the resources they need, and teachers should be paid what they are worth to teach this next generation of leaders. Democrats are looking forward to the future and we are not going back.
