Glen Sturtevant, a Republican elected to the Virginia State Senate in 2024 representing the 12th Senate district, posted a series of tweets on March 14 and 15, 2026, expressing concern about public safety and crime.
On March 14, Sturtevant wrote: “What are we doing https://t.co/0nC62QwKRW”.
A few hours later, on March 15, he repeated his earlier sentiment with another post: “What are we doing https://t.co/n0IypUSPnt”.
Later that same day, Sturtevant commented on an incident at a local shopping center: “Massive gang fight at the nicest mall in town. That’s not a good indicator. The Spanberger Crime Spree continues… I guess they’ll say we just need more “wrap around services” and social workers, instead of more cops and prison time? https://t.co/paFa6c0HcQ”.
Sturtevant succeeded Siobhan Dunnavant as state senator for Virginia’s 12th district following his election in 2024.
