Today is #Juneteenth, a solemn reminder of where we've been in this nation and what we've fought for. Today serves as a celebration for all that we have accomplished.
(1/4) Image
Today reminds us that never again will we be in chains. Never again will we be silenced. Never again will we be ignored.
(2/4) Image
Today, we celebrate. We think on the sacrifices of our ancestors. We take a look at where we are because of those sacrifices. And we look towards our children, who will enjoy the most freedoms.

We do not ignore the injustices. We do not turn a blind eye to those who are hurting. We recognize the struggles. Today, we contemplate where we are because of those before us, but we keep on fighting for those who need it.

It has recently come to my attention that there are some disturbing voting trends developing in our area that need to be addressed. 1st, there are some in the AA community encouraging other people of color to write in “REPARATIONS” for president instead of @JoeBiden/@KamalaHarris
Simply put, this must stop. By not voting for @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris , you’re essentially voting for four more years of chaos, division and derision by the current administration.
2nd, I have been made aware that there are people voting for me by writing in my name for 1CD on their ballot. This too must stop. I have not asked for people to do this nor do I want this practice to continue. We must do everything we can to increase the size of the

This year was a humbling experience.

I have enjoyed this season working with our community and working to help us every day.

We have experienced many hardships that inspired my run for Congress, but none compare to this Pandemic.

My biggest concern was to do my best to help us find a safe path through this crisis. I put a focus on keeping my family safe while seeking resources for members of the community in need. I will not stop doing this because we all need the help and we can work together.

Everyone we were able to help, from a woman in need of her medication to an older couple in need of toilet paper. Whether your need is seemingly simple or very complex, I am here to find you help.

Attention Northumberland County! have been getting reports that there may be problems with curbside voting in the Democratic Primary. Cont.
While I have heard from the county that curbside voting is now available, there have been reports that paper ballots have previously not been available, requiring voters to go inside to use the touchscreens.
Cont.
If you are intending on voting in the Democratic Primary in Northumberland County, please make sure to bring masks and any other safety equipment you need for being in an indoor space.

Happy Father's Day, it was a long one. 

Today was a wonderful day for Father's Day. It was also the longest day of the year thanks to the Summer Solstice.

#FathersDay
We had great weather here in the 1st District and I'm truly hoping all the dads enjoyed it. No matter how you became a father, you have a hard job, being a dad.

#Dad
#Fathers
Keep doing what you do and enjoy every day. We are living in a very different way this year, so relax with the extra time you have.

What I have to say is very important and I ask you to read this all the way through.

About half of our district is the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula. This is where our aquaculture is and it is very strong.

This area makes its living from the hard labor of our Watermen. They need our support now more than ever. Our Watermen catch and raise marine life from rockfish to oysters. They are small businesses that keep the region going.

They keep many more small businesses thriving. Restaurants, local grocery stores, roadside stands and more sell the fresh catches they bring to us.
