Governor Abigail Spanberger
The President lied about me today on social media. While he tries to distract from the soaring gas prices and economic worry he has caused, here’s what we are doing in Virginia. I’ve signed dozens of bipartisan bills into law to address high housing, healthcare, and energy costs — and not the taxes the President and his allies are lying about. To name a few: 
✅ Stopping predatory middlemen from driving up the cost of prescription drugs
✅ Incentivizing the construction of housing Virginians can actually afford
✅ Protecting families from covering the cost of energy infrastructure improvements
✅ Letting localities adopt affordable housing programs
✅ Incentivizing energy independence
✅ Investing in and growing our healthcare workforce
✅ Helping localities invest in new energy technology

I’ve signed bills to accelerate $7.1 billion in capital investment projects that will bring more than 3,250 jobs to our Commonwealth — including taking the final step in a multi-year process to bring the second-largest economic development project ever in Southern Virginia.

Instead of offering solutions to the problems he is both creating and actively making worse, the President scapegoats. He does it all the time. In Virginia, I am focused on providing stability for families, businesses, and communities — and delivering real results.

The President and MAGA has to lie because they know Virginia proves that you can tackle affordability and get things done for people if you prioritize it. And you can do it while protecting democracy and working together. The President only helps himself. We help people.

The President and his allies are talking about taxes that our state legislature never even voted on and I certainly didn't sign. Why? Because if they don't flood the zone with fake news about fake taxes, people might hear about the bills I am signing to lower energy costs, strengthen our schools, make housing more affordable, and bring billions of dollars of business investment to Virginia.

A quick check of the Virginia record. The taxes in this post - the Food and Beverage Tax, Digital Services Tax, Utilities Tax - are committee-stage proposals filed by Democratic legislators. Multiple sources confirm Spanberger has not signed them into law. University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato said publicly that "most of this will be eliminated by leadership or the Governor's Office." The one concrete executive action Spanberger has taken is rejoining RGGI, the regional carbon cap-and-trade program - which opponents legitimately argue will raise utility costs. That is a real, defensible critique. But this post attributes bills she hasn't signed, and in several cases hasn't endorsed, to her as completed acts of governance. Virginia is also sitting on a $1.2 billion budget surplus. Spanberger won by 15 points in November running explicitly on an affordability platform. The legislature is simultaneously advancing a bill to eliminate the grocery tax. The post is being written from Trump National - a club the President owns and profits from - while he's in Virginia for private meetings. The state he's describing as a catastrophe is also the state his business interests just traveled to. Proposals in committee are not signed law. That gap matters.

President Trump attacked Gov. Abigail Spanberger over bills she hasn’t signed. In fact, the relevant legislation never even made it out of the General Assembly. virginiascope.com/trump-attacks-…

The president is charging $1,000,000 per person to attend a candlelight dinner. Tonight at his winery in Virginia. While a war rages on in Iran.

As a former federal law enforcement officer, public safety is personal to me. 
That’s why I signed bills — led by both parties — to protect children from sexual and domestic violence, support law enforcement and first responders, and prevent gun violence in our communities.
