Thanks to Keith Dunnavant, Munters' Vice President of Offer Strategy and Portfolio Management, for the tour of the Munters factory in Daleville, which employs more than 600 people.
By electing her as U.S. Representative from Virginia’s 6th Congressional District, we will protect what matters most to women.” #Midterms2026 #virginiamidterms #elections #NationalNOWPAC
Momentum is building for change in the 6th District! I am grateful and humbled by the support from everybody who has donated to my campaign.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner! Rockingham County and Harrisonburg folks are proud of their local poultry industry and farming heritage, and it seems that everybody has a secret recipe for cooking their birds.
This campaign is bringin' the heat! I absolutely loved talking to farmers today in Crimora in Augusta County. Nearly two dozen farmers, growers and producers gathered on a broiling hot day to tell me about some of their biggest concerns --
I was humbled and heartened to speak about veterans' issues with so many American heroes in the room Tuesday night at American Legion Post 3 in Salem.
Donald Trump might "love the inflation" but Americans don't. When I get to Congress, I will work with the Democratic majorities to put a stop the President's policies that are hurting us. Ben Cline promises to "advocate for a continuation of the Trump policies." I will not.
I am very concerned about ICE arrests of farm workers in the Shenandoah Valley earlier this week. Farmers are already dealing with the stress of high costs of equipment and fuel due to Trump's tariffs and war, plus the ravages of spring freezes and the current drought.
Fishing in Craig Creek takes me back to my childhood, when we fished not only for fun, but for food. I am proud to have been endorsed by the League of Conservation Voters. We must restore funding for the U.S. Forest Service to ensure we have clean water, healthy forests and a livable environment.
The reopening of the newly renovated Eureka Park Recreation Center in Northwest Roanoke was a thrilling, emotional experience for the community. The building, a longtime gathering place and the heart of a beautiful park, will offer recreational, educational and childcare services and so much more.
"Ben Cline voted to close this primary care clinic in Churchville, Virginia, along with others in Buena Vista and Weyers Cave. When I'm in Congress I'm gonna work like heck to make sure that we get these clinics reopened and make sure that everybody gets the healthcare and the medicines they need."
Barry Wolfe describes how his wife Libba came up with a great idea to turn protesting into action: During Monday rallies outside of Ben Cline's Roanoke office, organizers collect food for local food banks and pantries. Lately, most of the collection has gone to Mount Zion A.M.E. Church.
Had a great time with Northern Shenandoah folks in Winchester and Clarke County -- visited a farmers' market where I heard about rising costs; the American Military Heritage Museum in Stephens City -- my Dad was an MP during World War II -- and the Winchester/Frederick County Dems picnic!
I’m thankful for the endorsement of @tomperriello.bsky.social and look forward to working with him to serve the people of our region who have lacked real representation in Congress for years.
What a lovely evening for a parade! I had fun participating in the Fireman's Parade sponsored by the Timberville Volunteer Fire Department. It was great to see so many friends and supporters in Rockingham County. My thanks to Richard Finklestein and Ralph Hensley for the pictures.
I am thrilled for Sen. Mark Warner's endorsement, and I am just as excited to be on the ballot with him this November as we prepare to help ALL working families! I am grateful that he mentioned investment in rural communities, which deserve more attention from Washington.
On this Memorial Day, let us never forget the patriots whose supreme sacrifices ensured that our democracy survived, and let us honor them by never wavering in our work to guarantee that democracy never perishes from the earth.
I am grateful and humbled to have the support of 2024 Democratic candidate Ken Mitchell, a Virginia gentleman, veteran, Shenandoah Valley farmer and family man who dedicated his life to service for others. His motto of "we will leave no one behind" perfectly describes what this campaign is about.
Donald Trump: "I don't think about Americans' financial situation ..." And you wonder why Trump's numbers on handling prices are underwater in every congressional district in the United States. Every. Single. One. abcnews.com/Politics/tru...
Neither rain, snow, heat nor sleet keeps the Monday rally-goers from protesting outside Ben Cline's office for the 65th consecutive week! Great to talk about my campaign with John Carlin of WSLS, Ian Price of WFIR and Noah from WDBJ today in downtown Roanoke.
I had a great evening speaking to Lexington-Rockbridge-Buena Vista Democrats Saturday night. I met terrific folks and had a blast spending time with Virginia Sen. Creigh Deeds. Rockbridge County will be a key area when we win the 6th!
It was an honor to give the keynote speech last night at the Roanoke Branch of the NAACP Awards Dinner. Seeing groundbreakers such as Brenda Hamilton and over 350 warriors for justice was fantastic. And the kids were inspiring!
Please read my statement about the Virginia Supreme Court overturning the results of an election. The will of the people has been denied for now, but not for much longer.
Great to spend time in conversation with the amazing Mona Raza, General Counsel and Executive Director of the Legal Aid Society of Roanoke Valley. We talked about the importance of Legal Aid to ensure the rights of everyone and how rising prices are pushing more and more people into poverty.
Watching children making campaign signs was a treat. Look at the sign on the left: "I bevlin in you.” I bevlin in y'all, too!
