Nobody loves elections like the Commonwealth of Virginia

On Monday, I joined @DCNewsNow for Sunrise on The Hill to talk about the midterm elections in Virginia and the three proposed constitutional amendments on Virginians' ballots.

Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones opposes the proposed Dominon/NextEra merger. According to a transcript of the video below released by his office, Jones says, in part, "Right now, in Virginia we have some foundational issues with our energy system that we have to address: the grid is overworked, we need more energy to meet the demand that we have, and costs are too high for every single one of us. And that’s exactly why we have opposed this merger in front of the SCC, because the transaction won’t do anything to address those fundamental issues."

News: Rep. John McGuire’s campaign has confirmed to me that House Majority Leader @SteveScalise will be in Lynchburg tomorrow for a fundraiser on McGuire’s behalf. McGuire is being challenged by former Democratic Rep. Tom Perriello in VA-05.

The Chargers have a serious Justin Herbert problem

I love the idea of an NFL ref handing out detentions during the week and personal fouls on Sundays.

I’m watching Ohio Senate ads during the Ohio State-Indiana game. The only problem…Virginians don’t vote in Ohio.

For a long time, I believed I could be a professional baseball player

I did a double take

New: I asked Governor Abigail Spanberger's office about Senator @RussetPerry's data center moratorium bill that would pause the approval of new data centers in Virginia for three years starting on July 1, 2027. A spokesperson for @GovernorVA sent me the following statement, which highlights Spanberger's recently released "Data Center Accountability Framework," but does not directly address the idea of a data center moratorium.
