Cliff Hayes throws a heck of a good party and does even better work for Hampton Roads! Great to be in Portsmouth for Del. @CliffHayesJr’s kickoff. Couldn’t be prouder to call Cliff a friend.

(1/3) My grandmother's union membership allowed her to provide for the family after the death of my grandfather, and as a former dues paying union member myself, the power and strength of unions has played a critical role in my story.

Virginia AG Jay Jones calls out Republican officials who are too afraid to stand up to Trump: “Your loyalty and your obligation runs to your state and to the people who you represent, not to the president.”

Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones tells @SuriCrowe his message for Trump ahead of the midterms: “Don’t mess with Virginia because we’ve rejected you soundly time and time again.” Jones says he and other state AGs are ready to protect their elections and the right to vote.

Over the past eight weeks, the OAG proudly hosted 29 students as part of our annual summer internship program. As this year's program comes to a close, we wish our students success as they complete their educational journeys. Our future is bright!

A Virginia primary (emphasis on primary as the most democratic way to elect folks) leading off the presidential nomination process would cover all bases - large, incredibly diverse state, multiple media markets, urban and rural issues and secure election processes. Just saying.
