"This matters far beyond any one cycle, because the impact of rural voters in our democracy continues to grow. Demographers at the University of Virginia’s Cooper Center project that by 2040, roughly 70 percent of Americans will live in just 15 states. The other 30 percent, spread across 35 disproportionately rural states, will hold outsized power over the country’s future, especially in the Senate, where Wyoming and California each get two votes. Ignoring those voters is not just bad politics. It is bad math."

In 2012, President Obama lost the rural vote by 19 points.

Remembering those people that paid the ultimate price for our freedoms.

Memorial Day is a chance for us to pause as a community and recognize the extraordinary individuals whose bravery and commitment shaped the freedoms and rights we treasure today.

Honoring them is about choosing, every day, to stand up for the same values they believed were worth the ultimate sacrifice: fairness, justice, and dignity for all.

Fredericksburg office - (540) 321-6130
Woodbridge office - (703) 987-2180

The ACLU and the House Equality Caucus blasted their fellow Democrats and the Republicans who voted to pass a bill threatening to censor educators nationwide and compel them to out transgender students against their will.

Gotta privatize those profits, and push off those losses to the government.

Great question.

Virginia’s new law permits workers in companies with 10 or more employees to tap into a program to receive up to 80% of their pay while on leave.
