National Bar Conference Panel

It is an incredible honor to have been invited as a panelist at the 2025 Iranian-American Bar Association (“IABA”) National Conference in San Francisco, California.

Sharing my journey as both a Virginian and Iranian-American with so many inspiring leaders, legal professionals, and community members is truly meaningful. Our panel explored the importance of representation, the ways our heritage shapes our approach to leadership, and how advocacy and civic engagement drive lasting change.

Standing alongside such accomplished colleagues reinforces my belief in the power of diverse voices in public service. I am grateful for the opportunity to connect, reflect, and encourage others to pursue leadership roles that give back to our communities.

I look forward to sharing further insights and experiences in next week’s newsletter.

• Mobile Optimization: Allows you to stay informed and up to date while on the go.

I encourage everyone to go visit the new site, explore its resources, and take advantage of the tools available to stay engaged with our work at the General Assembly. Together, we are making government more accessible to all Virginians!

Veterans Day

Thank you for your service!

On Veterans Day, we paused to honor and thank the brave men and women who served our country. To every veteran and their family in our community and across the nation, we thank you for your dedication and sacrifice in strengthening the Commonwealth of Virginia and our country.

A Landmark Moment For Virginia

So grateful for the memories from an historic night!

This past Election Day, Virginians from all backgrounds came together to take part in a truly historic moment. Voters across the Commonwealth reaffirmed the importance of respect, collaboration, and a shared commitment to our state’s future. Regardless of political affiliation, the record-breaking turnout and diverse representation highlighted our collective dedication to strengthening democracy. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this spirit of unity and progress.

Thank You!

Thank you to the Loudoun Democrats and every volunteer, intern, voter, and supporter who showed up for Virginia this election cycle!

Introducing Care In Action

Grateful to introduce Care in Action, a powerful group advocating for the rights of domestic workers—and proud to stand with them as they care for our families and communities every day. Members of Care in Action provide vital support as nannies and home care workers delivering compassionate assistance to children, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities. Care is essential, and those who provide it deserve respect, protection, and a voice!

Firehouse Tour

I had the privilege of joining the Loudoun County Professional Firefighters for a ride-along that gave me a firsthand look at their incredible work. I visited several fire stations, toured their headquarters, training centers, and dispatch centers, and even got an inside look at their mobile lab, which responds to hazardous chemical incidents. It was fascinating to see how each station is uniquely personalized by its crew, from the gear and photos on the walls to the setup of their common areas and sleeping quarters. Along the way, I shared lunch with the firefighters and saw the dedication, skill, and teamwork that keep our community safe every day. I came away with a deeper appreciation for the professionalism and sacrifice of our firefighters—and a renewed commitment to supporting the vital resources they need to do their jobs.

ENDORSEMENTS!

The state delegate leading her through, JJ Singh (D-Loudoun), introduced Hashmi – a Democrat seeking to becomer Viriginia’s lieutenant govenor – the same way to each one.

“She’d be the first Indian to hold statewide office in the entire state,” Singh said, crouching down to greet one woman eating lunch.

She would also notch an even bigger first if she wins Tuesday’s election: She would be the first Muslim woman elected statewide anywhere in the country. But her faith and ethnicity, she said, are not the driving forces behind her campaign.

On Saturday, the full Republican ticket was joined by Gov. Glenn Youngkin during a CPAC Latino forum at Ministerio Internacional Mana del Cielo in Sterling.

On Sunday, lieutenant governor candidate Ghazala Hashmi joined a group of Loudoun’s elected leaders and candidates for a Diwali-themed volunteer event that included door-to-door canvasing of neighborhoods in Brambleton.

Both sides highlighted the importance of getting voters to the polls in at a critical time for the commonwealth and the nation.

With October upon us, it’s a great time to reflect on progress and look ahead with confidence. Let’s continue fostering hope, positivity, and community spirit. As always, my office stands ready to assist you in any way we can.

Virginia Democrats Deliver Tax Rebate Checks

Keep an eye on your mailboxes if you live in Virginia! A Virginia tax rebate check will be arriving as part of a $1 billion rebate program. Eligible Virginians will receive their rebates automatically, either by mail or direct deposit, based on their recent tax filings. These checks will provide $200 for individuals and $400 for couples, offering meaningful relief for thousands of families across the state.

While the federal government continues to struggle with political gridlock, Virginia House Democrats are focused on getting real results for working families. These rebates are just one example of our ongoing efforts to lower costs, put hardworking Virginians first, and stimulate local economies throughout the Commonwealth.

Government Shutdown Town Hall

Town hall with Congressman Subramanyam addressing Government shutdown concerns.

I introduced Congressman Suhas Subramanyam (CD-10) and attended his town hall for Virginia’s 10th Congressional District, convened to address urgent concerns about the ongoing government shutdown. With the shutdown several days in, the Congressman explained the shutdown began after a continuing resolution lacking an extension for crucial Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) tax credits, which failed to pass, leaving federal workers, contractors, and families across our community in limbo. We listened to residents about the crisis’s impact, expressing the pain caused by the government shutdown and described how federal actions are affecting their lives:

Vice President of Melwood highlighting what organizations who employ individuals with disabilities are facing: “Our workforce is predominantly people with disabilities. Our workers thrive on stability and structure and are contributing members of society and are off of government benefits because of their employment through Melwood. Many without those benefits and without steady pay may need to return to those benefits that are also facing significant changes. Unlike federal employees, contractors don’t receive back pay when the government reopens.”    

 – JC

Georgetown University professor on the impact of the Trump presidency on higher education and its effect on research: “We’ve had huge cuts to federal funding for research already. American research output is declining. We have other nations that are racing ahead of us.”

– BA

Former non-profit, government-contracted employee, after losing her job in January as a result of funding cuts, being fired at 4:30 p.m., then losing her health care insurance 30 minutes later: “I am underemployed and paying for bare bones minimum coverage through the Virginia marketplace as provided by the Affordable Care Act. I may lose my coverage again with their (Republican) current policies and threats with the government shutdown.”

– Former Nonprofit Employee Contracted with USAID

As we continue to work across all levels of government, Virginia Democratic lawmakers are continuing to support federal workers through key legislation, including:

SB 1430 – During a government shutdown, people at risk of losing their home get 60 days (instead of 30) before foreclosure starts. This help now applies to any length of shutdown, not just ones lasting 14 days or more.

HB 1766 – Weekly unemployment benefits will increase on or after January 1, 2026 (the enactment would have been July 1, 2025, but Governor Youngkin amended it to start later).

As a Delegate representing Loudoun County – a community where a significant number of federal employees – I am committed to ensuring that these workers are not left alone during this challenging time. I will continue working with colleagues and local leaders to assist affected families and help protect Northern Virginia’s economy.

Resources for Furloughed Federal Workers

For the thousands of residents of Loudoun County and the surrounding area impacted by the government shutdown, the county has assembled a variety of resources to assist those who are affected. To learn more about the available support and services, please visit the links below.

If you are facing difficulty due to the government shutdown and require assistance from the state government, contact my office at DelAReaser@house.virginia.gov, and a member of my staff will be in touch.

Celebrating 150 Years of Sterling United Methodist Church

Thankful to celebrate Sterling UMC’s 150-year anniversary.

Founded in 1875 as a small, one-room building, Sterling United Methodist Church has grown into a pillar of the Sterling community. This past Sunday, the congregation gathered to celebrate its 150th anniversary, marking a monumental milestone that I was honored to speak at. Sterling United Methodist Church has long embodied the welcoming, inclusive, and service-focused spirit of Sterling and its neighboring areas.

In celebration of this anniversary, the church has launched “Difference 150,” a special initiative inviting everyone to complete 150 acts of kindness. I’m personally participating in this meaningful challenge and encourage others to join as well! Every act, no matter how small, helps to demonstrate our collective dedication to serving not just Sterling, but the broader community as well.

As part of the celebration, I was asked to attend and speak at a service. I had the privilege of presenting Sterling United Methodist Church with a Certificate of Commendation from the Virginia House of Delegates, recognizing 150 years of dedicated service to our community and getting to know the extraordinary members of this congregation.
