Thank you for showing up and actually using your Senate powers in ways that matter. Reintroducing the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act isn’t just a symbolic move; it’s a lifeline for minority communities facing voter suppression. Protecting election workers from threats? Standing up to discriminatory practices? That’s real leadership, and Virginians notice. Your insistence on congressional oversight, whether forcing votes on human rights reports, challenging executive overreach, or pushing back on tariffs and foreign policy decisions, is exactly the kind of accountability we need. The war powers resolution on Iran and your vigilance over weapons transfers to Israel prove you’re not letting anyone bypass Congress or hide behind executive power. Your Foreign Assistance Accountability and Oversight Act shows you care about transparency, not just headlines. And your push for D.C. statehood? Giving residents full representation isn’t a favor; it’s democracy in action, and we need you to keep pushing until it happens. Please take these fights from Capitol Hill to the streets: ensure communities know their rights, empower voters, and pressure local and state officials to stand up for democracy alongside you. On-the-ground organizing matters just as much as Senate votes. Thanks for leading boldly, for holding power accountable, and for keeping us in your corner. Keep going; we’ve got your back, and Virginians are ready to act alongside you.
