The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a bid by Virginia Democrats to revive its new voter-approved congressional map that was drawn to advantage the party for the upcoming midterm elections.

From the party lecturing everyone else about democracy and competence… 🤨

The Supreme Court of Virginia has spoken clearly: the Virginia Constitution matters, and the rules must be followed.

This ruling is an important reminder that fairness, transparency, and constitutional process should always come before partisan politics.

Thank you to everyone who stood up, spoke out, stayed engaged, and fought for fair representation and election integrity in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

An informed and engaged citizenry matters.

🚨🚨🚨

Today, the Supreme Court of Virginia correctly ruled that Democrats violated the Virginia Constitution in ramming through their partisan gerrymandering power grab.

Democrats thought that following the rules was optional. They were wrong. This process was corrupt from the very beginning, and now the court has corrected this injustice.

A wonderful evening at the Russell County National Day of Prayer Rally.

Thank you to everyone who attended and to all who prayed for our nation, state, county, leaders, and community. We are blessed to live in a county with such strong faith and love for one another.

God bless Russell County.

MUST READ:

“The referendum here came down to fewer than 90,000 out of more than three million votes.

It is completely plausible that such a small percentage of the electorate was impermissibly influenced by the subjective, normative, politically charged declaration on the ballot that the proposed amendment would ‘restore fairness.’

Accordingly, the referendum likely violates the U.S. Constitution’s Elections Clause, and the Virginia Supreme Court should set aside its results.”

There is nothing funny about violence.
There is nothing to celebrate about someone being harmed, no matter who they are or what party they belong to.

Over the past year, we’ve seen people laugh at assassination attempts and even celebrate the loss of life. That should stop every one of us in our tracks.

We can disagree.
We can debate.
We can fight for what we believe in.
But we should never lose our humanity in the process.

This is bigger than politics.
We should be praying for our leaders, not mocking or celebrating harm against them.

What we’re seeing right now, people laughing at violence, celebrating harm, making light of death, is not strength. It’s a sign that something is deeply wrong.

There is a line that should never be crossed and celebrating violence is it.

You don’t have to agree with someone to recognize their humanity.

We can, and must, be better than this.

While yesterday’s results were not what we had hoped for, the election brought strong engagement from voters across Russell County.

What stands out most is the continued increase in voter participation in Russell County during these special elections. In 2023, turnout was 43%. In 2025, it rose to 46%. This year, we saw that number climb again to 47%. While still below the approximately 70% turnout we saw in the 2024 presidential election, it is encouraging to see more citizens engaging in these off-cycle votes.

After our highly successful rally earlier this month, I had a strong sense of where the vast majority of Russell County citizens stood on the issue of gerrymandering. The turnout, conversations, and community engagement we saw there reflected a clear level of interest and concern. I’m grateful to everyone who took the time to show up, ask questions, and be part of that conversation.

Although we are disappointed in the outcome, I remain encouraged by the level of participation here at home. Russell County continues to show that our citizens are paying attention and are willing to make their voices heard.

This election may be over, but the responsibility to protect fair and transparent elections remains. We must continue to stand for fairness, ensure every voice is represented, and stay engaged in the process moving forward.
