Who built the America you benefit from every day?

Social Security.
Medicare.
The Civil Rights Act.
The Voting Rights Act.
The 40-hour work week.
Overtime protections.
The last balanced federal budgets.

Democrats did.

A lot of Americans inherited the results so completely they forgot who fought for them in the first place.

If you voted Democratic, you helped build this country.

If you didn’t, you still live inside what they built.

And it’s not too late to figure out who’s actually spent decades moving America forward while others screamed “socialism” every single step of the way.

People will drive on public roads, collect Social Security, use Medicare, cash unemployment checks, send their kids to public schools, then turn around and ask what Democrats ever accomplished.

People keep talking about Democrats like they’ve never materially improved America.

But let’s look at the scoreboard.

Big Tech is spending $700 billion dollars on AI at the expense of workers.

For example, Meta recently laid off 8,000 employees to move toward artificial intelligence. They are expected to spend $135 billion on AI this year alone. These new AI data centers are only going to create a fraction of the jobs lost while polluting our water.

I come from the tech world, and I’m done watching corporations treat communities like ours as expendable.

Let's take a stand against corporate greed.
Early voting starts June 18th.

As the rain falls across the hills of Patrick County tonight, bringing a quiet, somber end to the weekend, it feels like a necessary pause. A collective moment to sit in the damp stillness and face a heavy question...

​Memorial Day is a sacred time of remembrance, but it demands more from us than just looking backward. ​The men and women we honored today didn't lay down their lives just so we could enjoy a three-day weekend. They died fighting for a promise. They gave their futures because they believed, down to their very core, that this country was worth everything. They sacrificed for an America they believed would be the best version of the world, a place of liberty, justice, and shared purpose. ​So, how do we repay that? How do we sit with the weight of that gift?

​Right now, as a nation, as a state, as a community and internally at ourselves, we have to look in the mirror. Memorial Day is a stark reminder to reflect on what we are doing as human beings. How are we treating our neighbors? How are we operating as a community here in Patrick County? Are we building bridges, or are we drawing lines? If they gave their lives for the soul of this nation, then the way we treat each other today is the ultimate reflection of our gratitude. Right now, we owe it to their memory to take a step back, look at where we are, and admit that we have to be better than this.

​We honor their sacrifice not just with words, but by doing the hard work of being a community worthy of what they gave. ​Tonight, let the rain wash away the noise. Let’s sit with the quiet responsibility we all share, and resolve to be better tomorrow...for them, and for each other.

​Goodnight, Patrick County.
