"As U.S. Senator, Tim has worked tirelessly to defend our fundamental freedoms and level the playing field so every Virginian – regardless of race, religion, country of origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, ability, or age – can succeed and thrive. After an extreme majority on the Supreme Court gutted key protections in the Voting Rights Act, Tim got to work to protect the right to vote and was a key negotiator for the Freedom to Vote Act, legislation that would improve access to the ballot for Americans, advance commonsense election reforms and protect our democracy from attacks."
