Governor Youngkin’s Budget Amendments make for a fascinating read… One creates a Class 6 felony for protesting or picketing in front of a courthouse or residence of a judge/court employee or their family. It’s as if - in Youngkin-land - the 1st Amendment doesn’t exist…

House Democrats just approved final passage of my legislation (HB 1184) raising the cap on solar net metering and supporting the market growth for medium and small scale, customer-sited distributed solar in Virginia!!

Let’s be clear - @glennyoungkin (the ‘Apprentice’ Governor of Virginia) is attacking… a teenager. To say it’s beneath the dignity of his office - and that it lacks grace - is an understatement.

Unless you live in Botetourt County - where the GOP plan is to restrict public library access to those 18 and older… Yes. That’s not a joke. That’s happening right now in Virginia - as a result of GOP policies.

If the Youngkin and GOP win on Tuesday they will turn Virginia into the next Florida. They’ll roll back laws protecting abortion, gun safety, and education freedom. WE CAN’T LET IT HAPPEN!!

Tuesday’s Election Will Determine if Virginia Becomes the Next Florida

If the GOP governor’s $30 million can flip the state legislature, he’ll curtail laws protecting abortion, gun safety, and education freedom.
