The future of Social Security must be decided with open-door debate, transparent decision-making, and full public accountability.

@CreighDeeds & I are disappointed by the Governor’s veto of the Affordable Medicine Act, but we are not deterred. We remain committed to the idea that cost should never be a barrier to life-saving medication & will continue to work towards policy solutions to help all Virginians.

.@RepMcClellan stopped by our Social Security 90th anniversary event in Richmond today!
Created as part of the New Deal in response to the Great Depression, Social Security has provided a safety net for seniors, people with disabilities and families for 90 years.
On this #SaveSocialSecurityDayOfAction, I joined @AARPVa to celebrate Social Security’s 90th birthday and talk about why it must be preserved.

1/2 Families across VA are spending a large portion of their income on care for loved ones. In a bipartisan effort with @SenChrisHead, we introduced the Family Caregiver Tax Credit, HB1078 & SB419, to create an income tax credit of $1000 to assist families with the cost of care.
