Thank you to all of the VDOT road crews who have worked to ensure safe driving conditions across the Sixth District. Our community appreciates your efforts to clear the roads during and after yesterday’s storm.
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
Today we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. His impact on the fight for equality will never be forgotten.
On this day in 1786, the Virginia General Assembly adopted Thomas Jefferson’s Statute for Religious Freedom, which inspired the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Today, we celebrate the right of all Americans to freely exercise their faiths.
With heavy snow expected across the Sixth District this afternoon, I encourage all residents to use caution when traveling and to stay alert for local weather advisories. Be careful and stay safe out there.
Congratulations to Governor Glenn Youngkin, Lieutenant-Governor Winsome Sears, and Attorney General Jason Miyares on being sworn into office today in Richmond. This exceptional team will lead Virginia to even greater heights over the next four years. (📸 Greg Giroux / BGOV)
Reports indicate that Biden has diverted $2 billion in funds originally allocated for COVID testing to cover the cost of housing illegal aliens. It's unacceptable that this Administration prioritizes illegal immigrants over Americans while our Nation faces a shortage of tests.
Biden’s Secretary of Education betrayed American families by soliciting a letter from the National School Boards Association that called parents "domestic terrorists." Parents are the foundation of this Nation, and I demanded Cardona’s immediate resignation.
Senate Democrats praised the filibuster when they were in the Minority, but now that they have the Majority, they are happy to ignore it to further their grip on control. Their “election reform” legislation would nationalize our election laws, legalize ballot harvesting, and use taxpayer dollars for political campaigns. It should be rejected.
As inflation hit a 40-YEAR HIGH, the American people know that all is not well as President Biden claims. With consumer prices having risen 7 percent since last year, family budgets have been crushed and wage gains have been wiped out.
Congratulations to my good friend Todd Gilbert on being sworn in as the fifty-seventh Speaker of the House of Delegates. As the legislative session begins today in Richmond, I know Todd’s leadership will serve Virginia well. (📸 Jackie DeFusco / 8News)
This week, members of my staff will hold Mobile Office Hours in Highland and Bath Counties. They will be available to meet with constituents to assist with problems they might have with a Federal agency and hear their views on current issues before Congress.
On this , join me in raising a glass 🥛 to all of our hardworking dairy producers throughout the Sixth District. The Virginia Dairy Industry, directly and indirectly, supports more than 45,000 jobs and contributes $344 million annually to the Commonwealth’s economy.
