Thank you. Thank you for standing up for health care, for federal workers, and for the professionals in our Intelligence Community when it would be easier to keep your head down. We see you fighting to extend the ACA tax credits that keep care affordable for 22 million people. We see you pushing back on Trump-era attacks on career public servants who keep our country safe. We see you putting Virginians and Americans ahead of billionaires and party politics.
Please don’t dial it down. This is not the moment for polite footnotes. This is the moment for bold, unapologetic leadership, the kind of leadership that can actually change the future for the better. When you take the floor and name what’s happening, when you introduce legislation like the Protect America’s Workforce Act, it gives the rest of us courage too.
So keep being loud. Keep being clear. Keep calling out cowardice and corruption and showing us what real public service looks like. Millions of us are counting on you, and we’re ready to have your back.
