Back in May, I spent a morning at a family-owned pharmacy in Hanover County \u2014 a locality that voted for President Donald Trump<\/a> in 2024 by a margin of more than 25 points.<\/p>\n

I was there alongside local pharmacists and students, a Hanover County mother whose daughter is battling cancer, and a crush of reporters to roll out my plan to lower Virginians\u2019 healthcare and prescription drug costs<\/a> as their next governor. The event caught the attention of some community members who greeted me donning red T-shirts, Make America Great Again hats and Trump campaign buttons.<\/p>\n

Among the group was a local Tea Party member. After we briefly joked about our party allegiances, the conversation quickly turned to the issues.<\/p>\n

His daughter, who had been battling cancer, had recently lost her healthcare benefits. As her pile of medical bills and worries grew, so had his frustration.<\/p>\n

LOOK BEYOND THE BIG APPLE’S SOCIALIST VICTORY TO FIND DEMOCRATIC PARTY LEADERS IN 2025<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

What started as him leaving home on a rainy Wednesday morning to hold me accountable turned into a meaningful conversation about one of the challenges I hear about most from families, veterans, seniors and young people across our commonwealth \u2014 the rising cost of medical care.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not just high healthcare costs that are keeping Virginians up at night. Everywhere I travel across the commonwealth \u2014 since I first launched my campaign to serve as Virginia\u2019s next governor, the No. 1 challenge Virginians share with me is the squeeze of high costs<\/a>. Rising rent and mortgage payments, energy bills, and prices at the pharmacy counter are stretching Virginians\u2019 paychecks thin. Virginians who are working hard to get by deserve a governor who is laser-focused on doing everything in her power to deliver them real relief.<\/p>\n

Right now, as we race toward Election Day, I\u2019m on the road for my 40-plus-stop, 11-day statewide bus tour. We\u2019re going everywhere from “Where Virginia Begins” in Lee County up to Leesburg, from Norfolk to Nelson County to lay out the stakes in this year\u2019s elections \u2014 because this year, Virginians have the opportunity to choose leadership that actually puts our commonwealth first.<\/p>\n

Since that rainy morning in May, I\u2019ve also rolled out my plans to lower Virginians\u2019 housing costs and Virginians\u2019 energy bills. I\u2019ve rolled out my plans to grow workforce training opportunities \u2014 because a four-year degree isn\u2019t the right path for everyone. And I\u2019ve rolled out my plan to make sure Virginia\u2019s public schools<\/a> are the best in the nation. My opponent \u2014 Winsome Earle-Sears, the current lieutenant governor of Virginia \u2014 has not shown an inkling of interest in tackling these challenges. She\u2019s laid out no real plans to make Virginia more affordable or grow our economy.<\/p>\n

WITH LEGACY ON THE LINE, OBAMA HITTING CAMPAIGN TRAIL TO BOOST DEMOCRATS IN KEY GOVERNOR ELECTIONS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Virginians \u2014 including the more than 300,000 federal employees who call our commonwealth home \u2014 are grappling with the consequences of the Trump administration\u2019s DOGE firings, use of this devastating government shutdown to escalate those firings, and unpredictable tariffs. My opponent dismissed the devastating impacts of these cuts on Virginia\u2019s economy and even mocked Virginians for worrying about losing their jobs. As Virginia\u2019s next governor, I am clear-eyed about threats to our commonwealth \u2014 and I will always stand up for Virginians\u2019 jobs and Virginia\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a registered voter in Virginia<\/a>, my name is on your ballot this year. You may still be making your mind up about who to trust with your vote. You might even be reading this right now and thinking, “I\u2019m a Republican, so why would I vote for a Democrat?”<\/p>\n

I won my first campaign in 2018 \u2014 in a district that hadn\u2019t elected a Democrat in 50 years \u2014 in part because thousands of Virginians asked themselves that very question. And ultimately, those voters believed in electing a leader who would put the people of Virginia \u2014 not a political party, not a group of donors and not a president \u2014 first.<\/p>\n

Since I first got into politics<\/a>, I\u2019ve been focused on addressing some of the most pressing issues facing Virginia\u2019s families and businesses \u2014 from protecting Virginians\u2019 access to healthcare coverage to bringing down the cost of living to keeping our communities safe. My focus hasn\u2019t changed \u2014 and I\u2019m ready to get to work on day one to deliver for Virginians.<\/p>\n

And like I always say: I might be a Democrat, but you don\u2019t have to be one to vote for me. I would be honored to earn your vote and grateful to serve as your governor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
