MAJORITY LEADER THUNE: "This is a straight-forward proposal which addresses the concern that millions of Americans have — who are headed to food banks and can't pay their rent —and you're coming down here and saying you're going to object?"

We Lost More Than an Election — Here’s What Comes Next We lost all three statewide races. We lost 13 House seats. No Republican won outside deep-red districts. This election wasn’t about who the better candidate was — it was about national trends that local campaigns couldn’t overcome. So, what happens now? When the General Assembly convenes in January, Democrats will have full control. Here’s what we can expect: •Gun Control: Restrictions on semi-automatic rifles, bans on magazines holding more than 10 rounds, and limits on concealed carry reciprocity with other states. •Right-to-Work: Expect attempts to abolish Virginia’s right-to-work protections, paving the way for mandatory union membership and higher local taxes through collective bargaining mandates. •Taxes: New taxes on services like dry cleaning, handyman repairs, and digital services. •Energy Costs: Re-entry into the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), meaning higher power bills for Virginia families. •Transportation: Re-adoption of California’s vehicle standards — by 2035, only electric cars can be sold new in Virginia. •Elections: A new redistricting amendment that will let Democrats redraw congressional lines — creating 10 blue districts and just one red. •Education & Culture: Full reinstatement of transgender bathroom and sports policies in public schools. •Immigration: Virginia will move toward sanctuary-state status by reversing cooperation with ICE. •Criminal Justice: Passage of “Second Look” laws allowing violent felons serving life sentences to seek release after 15 years. Democrats will treat last night’s results as a mandate to advance this entire agenda — and much more. If you want honest, detailed updates about what’s coming out of Richmond — follow this page.
