My prayers are with the family who lost their daughter and with young adult who is in the hospital. As a community, let us all keep their love ones in our prayers.

Thank you Senator Perry!

Today Richard H. Stuart & I asked Governor of Virginia to call a Special Session so the can act on the alarming groundwater report released last week. The report lays bare that our drinking water & the health of our Eastern aquifers are under critical threat. We need to act now. At the same time, unchecked data center growth and the pending Dominion-NextEra merger only add to the urgency of protecting Virginia families now, not next year.

Thank you to county residents for speaking out about this CPA. I'm glad that Prince William County Board of Supervisors voted no on the project. We need to regulate the data center industry. Our elected officals must address the data center impact on our resources and our environment.

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors on Tuesday voted unanimously to deny a comprehensive plan amendment for the planned, nearly 2,000-acre Dulles South Innovation Center data center campus.
