This week, my first bills passed the Senate floor! The Senate enjoys some good-natured teasing when a Senator has their first bill on the floor. Watch some of the fun below: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH8G...

Today marks my first full week in the Senate. On Thursday, it was great to have my family join me as I was sworn in. Since then I’ve presented several bills and attended my first Senate committee meeting. I'm excited to continue my work in the upper chamber!
It’s bittersweet to leave the House of Delegates, but I’m excited to join the State Senate tomorrow!
Proud that my first bill of 2026 has passed both chambers and now lands on @abigailspanberger.com’s desk. My SB38 & @ebpforva.bsky.social’s HB93 protect survivors of domestic violence by ensuring firearms are legally transferred and removed from the home.

Last but not least, I want to express gratitude to Senator @adamebbin.bsky.social for his decades of service that have made a real difference in people’s lives. He has been an incredible partner and mentor in the GA and I will miss him, but am excited for his next chapter in public service.
I also want to congratulate Delegate-Elect @kirkmcpike.bsky.social. I am excited to work with him in the General Assembly to pass meaningful legislation for our community.
