Patrick Hope

"Is this a news report or a creative writing exercise? First, it was the debunked claim that governance changes would implicate the School Board. Now, we’re being told the Treasurer and Commissioner of Revenue are 'in the balance' despite the fact that no one is actually proposing it. It’s ridiculous to frame a non-issue as a 'question' just to stir the pot. Do better @ARLnowDOTcom - Del. Patrick Hope (D-Arlington)

It's pretty much always a "creative writing exercise" (and/or bashing Democrats, liberals, etc.) with the MAGA author of this piece, and it's been that way for a loooong time. He's definitely *not* going to "do better"... bluevirginia.us/2026/03/tues... h/t @hopeforvirginia.bsky.social

As we celebrate this season of hope and goodwill, may your holidays be filled with joy, peace, and time with those you love. Here’s to the joy of today and the promise of brighter days ahead. Blessed holiday season to you and yours.

VA Del. Patrick Hope (D-Arlington) "congratulates" Scott Beardsley on his "interim appointment" as UVA president

Del. Patrick Hope (D-Arlington) to Arlington County Board (page 1 of his letter): "If you refuse to create this commission—if you shut down debate before it begins—you will be choosing to preserve a structure born of racial exclusion and political suppression. That would be a profound failure of leadership and a betrayal of the values Arlington claims to uphold. This moment is about more than your personal preferences or political comfort. It is about whether Arlington will finally give its residents a voice in shaping their own government—something they have not had the opportunity to do in nearly a century. Do not cut off this conversation. Do not deny the community the chance to weigh in. Do not cling to a system built on inequity simply because it is familiar. Allow the commission. Open the process. Let’s have a referendum and let the people decide."

I’m proud to endorse MarkWarnerVa.bsky.social for reelection. Sen. Warner has consistently delivered for Virginians—fighting to make our VA more affordable, protecting our freedoms, and upholding the values that make VA strong. His leadership matters, and Virginia needs his continued voice.

LGBT+ Democrats of Virginia endorse @hopeforvirginia.bsky.social for Delegate in District 1. Hope championed the ban on conversion therapy for minors and supported resolutions to enshrine marriage equality in Virginia’s constitution. See all of our endorsements at lgbtvadem.org/endorsements.

Incredibly proud to be endorsed by @ppava.bsky.social

I’ll always stand up for reproductive freedom, and will continue working to ensure all Virginians have accessible and affordable reproductive healthcare when they need it.

In the U.S.:
-4.6 million kids live in a home with an unlocked, loaded gun
-8 kids a day are unintentionally injured or killed by family fire
Asking if there are unlocked guns where kids play saves lives. #ASKDay #EndFamilyFire

Today is #ASKDay — because Asking Saves Kids.
Always ask: "Is there an unlocked gun where my child plays?"
This is a life-saving question. #EndFamilyFire @EndFamilyFire

Congratulations @hopeforvirginia.bsky.social ☑️

Through our work passing universal background checks and red flag laws, we have made great strides in combatting gun violence in Virginia. I’m grateful to @giffords.org for their endorsement, and I’m committed to continue working to keep our communities safe from gun violence.

I’m honored to have the endorsement of Congressman Don Beyer, a true champion for Northern Virginia. Together, we’re committed to building a stronger, more inclusive community for everyone.

Huge thank you to Delegate JJ Singh and everyone who joined us to GOTV yesterday before the protest. We are just 2 days out from Election Day, those who didn’t vote early - make a plan to vote at your regular polling location on Tuesday!

I’m honored to earn the endorsement of three members of the Arlington County Board. Their support means so much as we work to deliver real results for our community. Thank you to @Jdspainsr.bsky.social @TakisKarantonis.bsky.social and Matt de Ferranti for your support.

I am proud to have the endorsement of EVPac. I’ve always been, and always will be, an ally in the fight for equality and inclusion for all LGBTQ+ Virginians, especially the transgender community. Together, we are working to ensure everyone feels welcome, safe, and protected in the Commonwealth.

Incredibly proud to be endorsed by @virginialcv.bsky.social

I will always stand to protect our air and water quality, save our trees, and grow our clean energy economy. This is the only planet we have, and I’m committed to leaving a cleaner world for our future generations to enjoy.
