Local resistance. That’s what will stop the cycle of reckless development in Virginia. I didn’t win my election, but there’s still a fight to be had. I’m in it with you, and for you.

I was 8 years during Columbine. I was also a 12 minute drive away. This was before lockdowns. Before active shooter drills. Nobody knew what to do yet. All I remember is police everywhere. I’m proud to be a gun sense candidate. There have to be limits. And some limits can't be up for negotiation.

@votetimva.com's first event was a disability roundtable, showing how a campaign event can transcend its usual nature by cultivating something impactful. I participated with my daughter, so I can attest that Tim feels strongly about disability visibility. 🙂 #VA-01 www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbbA...

You don't have to be part of a vulnerable community to fight with them. The one group I should have mentioned but didn’t, is people with disabilities. They know what it’s like to be ignored, overlooked, and discriminated against too. I refuse to be a rep who forgets about anyone. Dignity for all.

Blue Virginia beat me to posting it, but please enjoy a version of Rob Wittman that is actually honest for once.

Hahaha, this video by VA01 Democratic candidate @votetimva.com (as self-serving, corrupt "Rob Wittman") is really great, spot-on, funny, etc. - nice job! bluevirginia.us/2026/06/with...

The stakes of this moment couldn’t be higher. We must become the party that fights for people. That’s fight for dignity for all. That’s the kind of party I want to be, and that’s what I’ll fight for in Congress.

Data centers are unpopular for good reason: they drink all our water, raise our electric bills, and pollute our communities. But don't worry. They also don't create long term jobs. Meanwhile in Virginia: give them a $1.9 billion tax break or we shut down the government.

For voters who want an expert in grassroots organizing, environmental justice, and taking on powerful interests like #DataCenter developers, then @votetimva.com is a candidate up their alley.

Great example of the one thing Wittman is actually good at — avoiding accountability

Wittman Watch@wittmanwatch.bsky.social

Via @meidastouch.com: Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) faked a phone call for roughly 90 seconds after being asked about Speaker Mike Johnson’s comments regarding potential Social Security cuts. The phone's screen remained visible, with his cheek inadvertently tapping different parts of the display. 1/

Everyone's talking about affordability. Nobody's saying what it actually means. It's not complicated. You either put more money in people's pockets — or you bring prices down. That's it. Those are the only two options. Here's how I'd actually do both. 👇

Invest in small businesses through a Main Street Fund — direct government investment to restore real competition. Because the best way to keep prices honest is to make sure no single company can set them.

Make Big Tech pay for the energy data centers consume. No more passing the bill to families choosing between electricity on or food. Data centers get a $1.6 billion tax break in Virginia while driving up your electric bill to power their servers. They get the break. You foot the bill. No more.

Cut taxes for working families. Not corporations. Not the wealthy. The people keeping this economy running. How do we pay for it? Make corporations and the wealthy pick up the tab for once. They've had the breaks long enough.

Break up monopolies in food and medicine. Four companies control 85% of beef processing. A handful control most of what's on your grocery shelf. When that few companies control that much, they can charge whatever they want. Customers lose influence because we lost choice.

Bipartisan collaboration is great. Coordinating and unity within our party is even better. But you have to start with a vision. Mine is dignity for all. No exceptions. I’ll fight like hell to get there — and yes, that includes going against my own party if I have to.

When fiscal policy in the United States values corporate greed more than hard work, the result is more income inequality and a social security system running dry. It’s time to flip the script. I appreciate the King William Dems for inviting me. I’ll see you again soon.

THIS! THIS! THIS! We want Democratic candidates who know their values and stick by them, not ones who go wherever they think the wind is blowing. Stake your claim on the issues, candidates, and voters will follow! #VA-01

I didn’t run for office to play it safe or hide my beliefs. We don’t have to appear moderate to flip this seat. We have to be unafraid to listen, evens if to those we disagree with, and find common ground. That’s what representation looks like, and it’s something Wittman will never understand.

I met Lewis a handful of times. He’s a good man who unabashedly believed that a better future for the 1st is possible. He’s also kind. These are qualities of a man who embraces the true nature of public service. I know he won’t stop fighting. And we’re better off because of it.

Wittman Watch@wittmanwatch.bsky.social

@lewislittlepage.bsky.social is withdrawing from the #VA01 race against Wittman. "The funds are simply not there to support what will likely become a multi-million-dollar campaign." Thank you for stepping up, Lewis! We look forward to seeing what you'll do next. www.littlepage4you.com has more.

If you are angry about the Va Supreme Court decision, please donate to Tim’s campaign. ( button is at the bottom of the post) or volunteer. We can defeat Wittman if we all get to work.

My statement on Trump doing what he always does — bully people until he get’s his way. It’s time for Virginia’s Supreme Court to show this administration that his petulant tactics won’t work here. Not in Virginia.

My tl;dr on the arguement against Virginia’s Redistricting amendment — they don’t hold up. Vote Yes on April 21st, Virginia. The county is counting on us. Full article in comments.

I have a masters in Political Communications. I have a Master’s in political communications. I’ve spent years studying how narratives are built, how messages stick, and how the powerful defend themselves. Here's what I think about arguments against Virginia's Redistricting Amendment:

Wild coincidence: Rob Wittman and I were in the same place today. Me visiting the colonial Dems and him visiting the Williamsburg republicans in the room next to us. I tried to get his attention, but he ran away. Textbook example of what it what it feels like to be his constituent.
