The needs of my constituents and neighbors are always at the forefront of my mind and my legislative portfolio. This year I’m continuing to fight to reduce the tolls on the Dulles Greenway and implement distance-based pricing.
Running for office every two years is a “dual edged sword.” You are constantly in fundraising and election mode, but you also maintain a close, intimate knowledge of the issues
Today we celebrate the birthday of one of America’s most influential civil rights leaders, Martin Luther King Jr.. Decades after his death we are honoring his legacy and fighting to uphold his beliefs and values against civil injustice and racism. Dr. King once said, “The time is always right to do what is right,” and we should keep that in mind today as we work to defend our democracy and fight voter suppression.

ICYMI – the Supreme Court of Virginia (SCOV) released their final redistricting maps on December 28, 2021. The district that I currently represent, VA-32, will be renumbered to VA-28 for the 2023 election cycle.

Here’s another good article on the 2022 Toll Reduction Legislation, but a couple points of clarification are necessary:
1. As elected officials, we should always be looking for ways to help our constituents, this is the only legislation that establishes a framework to potentially reduce tolls and implement distance-based pricing
2. This legislation was developed based upon input from the 2021 Session, the Board’s legislative agenda, listening to constituents, and working with the Division of Legislative Services attorneys, not working with the Greenway
3. A vote against this legislation says to your constituents you don’t even want to try to reduce tolls and implement distance-based pricing - I believe we should at least try to provide toll relief to our constituents
Del. David A. Reid (D-32) and Sen. Jennifer B. Boysko (D-33) have announced plans to file a bill in the

Tonight I joined Scott A. Surovell, Senator Jennifer B. Boysko, Delegate David Reid, and Va. Auto Dealers for an #EV Town Hall. Thank you to Generation180, @VA_AEE, CCAN Action Fund, and Climate Cabinet Education for hosting this conversation about the future of clean, electric transportation in Virginia!
Through House Joint Resolution 64 (2020) and the VITA study it initiated, I’ve been working to address ransomware before it became an issue for the Commonwealth. The four budget amendments addressed in this article would strengthen our cybersecurity posture and provide a process for a more coordinated response.
As Virginia struggles to control a ransomware attack on its legislative branch of government, an agency in the state's executive branch also has been hit in a second attack that

Afternoon everyone, I wanted to share an update summarizing the Governor's press conference today. As you may know, he tested positive for COVID-19 last month, and I had been at an event with him two days beforehand. So I was tested and quarantined, and thankfully came up negative. We all wore masks at the event, and socially distanced, which I credit with protecting myself and others there from the spread of the virus. Lastly, make sure to register to vote! Today *might* be the last day, pending a court order, but please take the time to do so as soon as you can: https://www.elections.virginia.gov/registration/how-to-register/
