Another great day at the National Conference of State Legislatures summit! We had many important discussions today, especially surrounding the rise of artificial intelligence and the challenges it poses for state-level governance. I'm looking forward to more thought-provoking conversation tomorrow!
I had a great conversation with Jane Foy on her podcast Aging Well in Virginia! We discussed new Virginia legislation affecting seniors, how seniors can access public resources, and more! You can find the entire discussion at these links: open.spotify.com/episode/6Vef.... youtu.be/b9yAMAcJ0zU?...

Trade 📺screen time for green 🌳time- it's good for your health! We've had a great session on nature as healthcare; outdoor recreation improves your mental and physical wellbeing. At your next checkup, ask your doctor to screen you for outdoor time, because nature is preventative healthcare!

The recent events at ACPS are deeply troubling. We share a commitment to working together to ensure our children's safety, and I join my colleagues @creighdeeds.bsky.social @katrinacallsen.com in asking for an independent investigation. This will be an essential first step to achieving that goal.
I'm proud to have been named an Economic Security Ally by @teamfreedomva.bsky.social! We worked hard this session to build a more affordable Virginia, and I'm excited for future opportunities to continue serving working families! #virginia #affordability #affordableva
