Delegate May Nivar

All 👀 are on Virginia because the path to controlling Congress runs through it. Re-elect @markwarnerva.bsky.social to the Senate, return @jennmcclellanva.bsky.social to the House, & flip CD-1 w/ @shannontaylorva.com Great turnout at @henricodems.bsky.social early voting rally in eastern Henrico.

Today, I was excited to join @abigailspanberger.com and local leaders for the groundbreaking of Eli Lilly's new pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Goochland's West Creek Business Park.

This $5 billion investment will bring 650 permanent jobs and 1,800 construction jobs to our region, strengthen Virginia's growing life sciences industry, and help produce medicines that improve and save lives. It's an exciting day for Goochland County and our entire region.

Great canvass launch in Goochland today with @jennmcclellanva.bsky.social @goochlanddems.bsky.social and @vayd.bsky.social in support of @tomperriello.bsky.social. We need to send Tom back to Congress because VA's CD-5 deserves a representative who will listen, lead, and fight for its communities.

I spoke with WRIC about my letter urging the Goochland Board of Supervisors to deny Tract's proposal to develop a 900-megawatt data center adjacent to established residential neighborhoods, a project that has generated concern among residents. See my interview here: www.wric.com/news/local-n...

I’m encouraged that Henrico and Goochland have each decided to move away from Flock cameras after hearing residents’ concerns about privacy and accountability. Public safety and privacy are not competing values. Law enforcement needs effective tools, but those tools must be used responsibly.

I'm proud to see Virginia ranked No. 1 in the nation for workforce training. This recognition highlights the success of the Virginia Talent Accelerator Program, which helps attract businesses to the Commonwealth while investing in the people who call Virginia home. www.vedp.org/virginia-ran...

Honored to speak at yesterday's Governor's Advisory Board Summit. As a former member/chair of one of the boards, it was meaningful to reflect on how board service shaped my path to elected office and my work in the General Assembly. Most importantly, I spoke about the power of partnership.

I joined Delegates Rodney Willett, Leslie Mehta & Rae Cousins for a conversation w/physicians & staff from the VA Physicians for Women and Medical Society of VA about maternal health, workforce challenges, and the potential impacts of medical liability policies on physicians and patient care.

I also spent part of the weekend with Congressman @jameswalkinshaw.bsky.social to support his reelection campaign. It was great to see friends and familiar faces from our Chinese American community, and supporters who traveled from afar, including Maryland Delegate Chao Wu.

James has dedicated his career to serving Virginia, and in Congress he has continued standing up for our federal workforce and fighting for the issues that matter most to families across the Commonwealth.

I joined the James River Association to learn more about the return of Atlantic sturgeon to the James and the work that has helped bring this endangered species back. During our tour, we spotted several sturgeon leaping from the river near the Chesterfield power station.

Aging infrastructure and water withdrawals can put added pressure on water quality and the habitat sturgeon depend on. If we want to protect the progress we have made, we have to keep investing in the infrastructure that keeps our rivers and communities healthy.

It was wonderful to join convenience store owners, operators, and industry leaders from across Virginia once again for the Mid-Atlantic C-Store Expo hosted by the Virginia Asian American Store Owners Association.

Hearing directly from the community about the proposed Dominion–NextEra merger and rising energy costs is exactly why @ltgovhashmi.bsky.social took the Energy Costs Listening Tour across the Commonwealth. I was proud to join her in Richmond and hear directly from Virginians about their concerns.

As I continue listening to residents, advocates, regulators, utilities, and energy experts, my standard remains simple: decisions involving an essential public service should make life better for Virginia families and businesses.

Exploring Virginia's energy landscape means learning from every part of the system. Recently, I joined Delegate Irene Shin and members of Rappahannock Electric Cooperative for a tour of Clover Power Station, which is jointly owned by Dominion Energy and Old Dominion Electric Cooperative.

Each stop along my journey to better understand Virginia's energy landscape offers a different perspective on the systems that power our homes, schools, businesses, and hospitals.
