Democrats are expanding voting and upholding voter integrity and creating smooth election processes (whether it be ERIC or rank choice voting processes).

Meanwhile Republicans (like Governor Glenn Youngkin) veto bills to rejoin ERIC and try to decrease access to the polls.

I know where I stand. A second vote isn’t necessary. We don’t need the state endorsing the Lost Cause narrative. virginiamercury.com/2024/04/15/you…

We should throw the kitchen sink at this issue. Chronic absenteeism is a massive problem. The admin helped kill a Todd Pillion bill that would have helped schools bring kids back. And now he’s trying to kill this program that has proven effective.

This week, Governor Youngkin refused to sign a bill to protect access to contraception. Instead, he gutted the bill’s protections for IUDs, birth control, and emergency contraceptives.

As the next Governor of Virginia, I will defend the right to contraception for all Virginians.

I join Speaker Scott in encouraging our colleagues to do the right thing. It will only take 6 Republicans to join us in the Senate to make sure kids are not going to school with a leaky roofs and faulty HVAC systems. The buildings are falling down around our kids ears.

“”The Board of Supervisors has bestowed upon me the greatest honor anyone fighting censorship and banning could receive by censoring me and my project,” Lindley said.”

The kids are alright. The adults banning books look small compared.wvtf.org/news/2024-04-1…

Fantastic policy change by Henrico County Government and Zulfi is exactly right!

The MAGA Republican repeal of Roe continues to sow chaos.

This time restoring an 1860s law that completely bans abortion and doesn’t have rape or incest exceptions.

In Virginia we must enshrine choice in our Constitution. Otherwise Republicans will bring these laws here.

They are bad. And school systems and states need to act. This year the legislature (with a Bill Stanley bill) made clear localities can ban them.

We might need to go further.
