Thank you to the grassroots Democratic volunteers dedicated to delivering accountability to Washington this fall, including the incredible Cooney for Congress team. It was an honor--and a ton of fun--to toast you at last night's Blue Fairfax Dinner. @fairfaxdemocrats.bsky.social
Yesterday, I canvassed for Dave Sundberg, Democratic candidate for Congress in Maryland's 5th District. As head of FBI's Washington Field Office, he led probes of Jan. 6 and Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Trump ousted Dave because he refused to carry out Trump's corrupt agenda.
A quick stop on Route 29. It was great to get a cone at Moo Thru and support a local Virginia business.
While my congressional campaign is ending, our movement to take on corruption and lawlessness is just beginning.
The Virginia Supreme Court’s ruling is a major setback for fair elections. Where do we go from here? We need to organize, advocate, and win back Congress. Democracy depends on it.
Humbled by the incredible grassroots support for my campaign. While we wait for the final result of the fair election referendum appeal, we are pausing acceptance of contributions. My commitment to standing up against corruption remains unshakable.
I joined MS Now's The Weekend to discuss how Donald Trump has turned the Justice Department into a weapon in his retribution campaign against perceived enemies--including through the second baseless and vindictive attempt to prosecute Jim Comey.
It's Police Week, when we should all take time to thank the men and women in law enforcement who sacrifice to keep us safe and uphold the rule of law.
Moms run this campaign. Happy Mother’s Day to my mom, Cynthia, my wife, Maureen, and the countless other Virginia mothers standing tall for American democracy. You are an inspiration to us all!
It was great spending time with the @braddockdems.bsky.social last night. Your hard work and energy keep us moving forward. @fairfaxdemocrats.bsky.social
Grateful to the Rural Democrats Caucus for the opportunity to talk with you last night. Our conversations made one thing clear: Virginia needs leaders who work for you and your communities, not the interests of the most powerful. Thank you for all the work you do.
On Monday night, I was privileged to attend the Brennan Center Legacy Awards Dinner and celebrate former Justice Department employees who refused to carry out Trump's illegal or unethical orders. Though these patriots' absence weakens the DOJ, their courage strengthens the rule of law.
The Trump DOJ’s case against Jim Comey will be tossed. Vindictive. Selective. Lawless. Congress must hold DOJ’s leaders accountable. @jenpsaki.bsky.social
Virginians approved redistricting through a fair democratic process. I'm confident the Virginia Supreme Court will affirm it.
You don’t have to be a lawyer to see that the latest Comey indictment is a vindictive attempt to silence Trump’s critics. This is what it looks like when power is used to go after political opponents. We need Congress to step up and hold the DOJ accountable. @lauracoates.com @cnn.com
Celebrated with my fellow Arlington Dems at the Blue Victory dinner last night! We fought Trump and won on the referendum—now we need to take back Congress. @arlingtondems.bsky.social @vademocrats.bsky.social
If no one holds Trump accountable, nothing else gets fixed. I’ve taken on corruption before. I was fired for it. Now I’m running to finish the job.
If you live in Virginia, tomorrow is your last chance to vote YES in the referendum for fair elections! Polls are open from 6:00am to 7:00pm. Go vote at the same place you do in regular elections. Vote YES! @vademocrats.bsky.social
Cooney for Congress volunteers knocking doors today in support of the YES campaign. It’s wet—but that’s not dampening the enthusiasm! Vote YES on April 21 Virginia! @vademocrats.bsky.social
Today is the last day for early voting in Virginia. Vote YES to stop Trump’s corrupt power grab. Make a plan now to vote today or on Tuesday, April 21 at https://f.mtr.cool/sqvnhwddhg
My visit to AFC was personally meaningful. The clinic was founded in 1994 by the mother of one of my high school classmates; and one of its first volunteers was my grandmother’s longtime physician. Arlington is a tight-knit community and AFC shows it.
Last week, I visited the Arlington Free Clinic, which delivers comprehensive care to 1,600+ uninsured Arlingtonians. Its volunteer physicians, nurses, and staff provide extraordinary care. AFC is an Arlington gem and a model for community health centers across the country.
Virginia - we must pass this referendum for fair elections. I’m challenging you. Get five people to the polls before April 21.
Trump and MAGA Republicans are destroying democracy by gerrymandering districts in Texas and other states. Virginians are protecting democracy by letting voters decide in a public referendum how we will be governed. Stop Trump's power grab: Vote YES by April 21.
A beautiful day to be inspired by Attorney General Eric Holder and to urge all Arlingtonians and Virginians to vote YES!
Thank you to the Springfield Dems for a great conversation on Thursday night about how we can hold Trump accountable, defend democracy, and uplift hardworking people. I’ve taken on Trump before, and I’m running for Congress to do it again. @springfielddems.bsky.social @fairfaxdemocrats.bsky.social
Thank you to the Franconia Democrats for welcoming me to your monthly Zoom last night. What an inspiring group of grassroots Dems! Together, we’ll stand up to Trump, retake Congress, and fight for hardworking Virginians. @franconiadems.bsky.social @fairfaxdemocrats.bsky.social cooneyforcongress.com
