07/06/2022 Tweet - "After another holiday marred by gun violence, I'm thinking about the values of the Fourth of July and how I'm protecting them in the Senate. I believe in freedom from fear in public spaces. Freedom to choose. Freedom to love. I will continue to fight for these freedoms and more."
02/23/2022 Tweet - "I support the rights enshrined in the First Amendment, but these roads are critical for people to be able to get to work, school, and have products delivered. Many lives could be seriously interrupted because of this circus."
02/19/2022 Tweet - "I'm joining @TimKaine in asking the Biden admin to press the CCP to release the family members of several Virginians -- Uyghurs who have been forcibly and wrongfully detained in China. We'll keep fighting for the rule of democracy and human rights globally."
02/09/2022 Tweet - "We should honor #BlackHistoryMonth by passing voting rights legislation that meaningfully restores the Voting Rights Act and ensures that Black voters have equal opportunity to cast their vote."

02/03/2022 Tweet - "On the anniversary of the ratification of the amendment that gave Black men the right to vote, I'm thinking about the ways our democracy has always needed constant maintenance. I'm still actively working to protect voting rights."
01/27/2022 Tweet - "On the two-year anniversary of Virginia ratifying the ERA, I'm calling on my colleagues to pass bipartisan legislation to extend the time frame to ratify it. We can't let an arbitrary deadline stop the progress we've made towards this amendment."
01/26/2022 Tweet - "I'm not giving up on voting rights. I'm still working to get something done."
01/19/2022 Tweet - "Let me be clear: for decades, reauthorizing the Voting Rights Act was a bipartisan priority. It should be now, too. I'm calling on my colleagues to stop the obstruction and get it done."
01/19/2022 Tweet - "Voting rights isn't a partisan objective. We made voting easier in Virginia, turnout rose, and a Republican won. I'm fighting for voting rights because it's the foundation of our democracy -- not because I think it favors my party."
01/19/2022 Tweet - "Election Day should be a holiday. The Freedom to Vote Act would make that happen. Let's get it done."
01/18/2022 Tweet - "Voting rights are essential and preservative of every other right that we have. It's frankly unacceptable that this issue is being politicized."
01/17/2022 Tweet - "MLK Day isn't about platitudes -- it's about upholding his legacy by fighting for the change he sought. Great to talk about voting rights alongside the Tinner Hill Heritage Foundation and the Falls Church community."
01/17/2022 Tweet - "Today, I'm honoring the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., an incomparable advocate for racial, social, and economic justice. This week, I'll be honoring his memory with action by voting for the reauthorization of a law he championed -- the Voting Rights Act."

01/12/2022 Tweet - "Voting rights are essential. I am going to keep working to protect them."
01/11/2022 Tweet - "Several states have passed laws that give power to partisan operatives to overturn elections. That's blatantly anti-democratic. It's time to pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act."

01/11/2022 Tweet - "Voting rights can't wait. It's time to change the Senate rules to pass voting rights legislation."

01/06/2022 Tweet - "Jan. 6 was just one of many insidious attacks on democracy last year. Efforts to make it harder to vote or even give partisan operatives the ability to overturn elections continue to become law in many states. We must take federal action and pass a voting rights law."
01/06/2022 Tweet - "The anniversary of the insurrection is a reminder that American democracy was -- and continues to be -- under attack. A year later, I'm still committed to securing accountability for those involved and passing legislation to protect the right to vote."
