Press Release

{Norfolk,VA January 5th 2025} On Wednesday the General Assembly we convene for the 2025 session and Mike looks forward to working members of the General Assembly to make sure that the most underserved have a voice.  Mike wants to make sure that those that are serving sentences within the Virginia Department of Corrections are treated with dignity and respect and that their families are not being put into debt because of their incarceration.  Mike will work this session to make sure that we work to make sure that every child is fed a balanced meal while they are at school at no expense to them and a finally we will work to make sure that we work to make sure that our schools and streets are safe from guns by passing more common sense gun legislation.  The time is now.  

{Norfolk,VA November 19th 2024} Virginia has a clear choice for in 2025 for Governor, Lt. Governor and Attorney General.  Rep. Spanberger has proven herself in Congress and is one of the most bipartisan members of Congress, and that is the type of leadership we need as a Governor, unlike this past clown who is more worried about banning books then working with Democrats to pass meaningful legislation that would benefit all Virginians.  Abigail knows what it takes to lead, and she will is ready to lead on day one.  She will focus on workers rights, protecting access to a women's right healthcare, continue to fight for quality healthcare for all Virginians, and protecting LGBTQI rights.  I am incredibly proud to endorse my friend Aaron Rouse.  From his humble beginnings in Seatack in Virginia Beach, to the NFL, to the floor of the Virginia State Senate Senator Rouse has always been a fighter for his community and he will continue to do that as Lt. Governor of Virginia.  The Lt. Governor of Virginia has a very important role as the President of the Senate and we need someone like Senator Rouse in that role where we know where he stands in case of a tie-breaking vote.  Senator Rouse is going to make an excellent Lt. Governor.  Jay Jones will make a remarkable Attorney General.  As a Delegate he helped expand Medicaid, increased minimum wage, teachers wages, and championed the "Ashanti Alert" bill which is now nationwide. This is the most important time to have Jay as our Attorney General as we face a Trump administration.  He will make sure that Virginians are protected from Trump and his extreme MAGA agenda.  I am extremely proud to endorse these three individuals and look forward to working hard to get them elected in 2025.  

{Norfolk,VA November 11th 2024} President-Elect Trump through his named appointments so far has proven that he has no intention to follow through on what he said in his victory speech on election night.  The President-Elect is appointing people to his administration that will promote the Project 2025 agenda and this  should be concerning to all Americans.  We should be concerned of what actions his administration are going to take in regards the environment, foreign policy, and healthcare.  The President-Elect is appointing people to positions that they are not qualified for and that is going to have a negative long term affect on our countries standing on the worlds stage.  This administration is not off to a good start and they have not been sworn in yet its and extremely scary time and we just need to hold them accountable at every turn.  

{Norfolk,VA November 6th 2024} Yesterday Americans went to the polls and elected Former President Donald Trump to be the 47th President of the United States.  Clearly I am disappointed with the outcome of the election, but I am proud of the campaign that Vice-President Harris and Governor Walz ran and the message that they delivered to the country.  The time is to come together and fight against what President-Elect Trump and his administration has planned.  We need to resist what they have planned, including the mass deportations, the attack on women's reproductive healthcare, and any of his attempt to put into place Project 2025.  We resist and protest though peacefully unlike the other side, and we remember always where are true values come from and lay.
