We are two weeks into the 2023 Virginia General Assembly Session. My week was very busy! I had many committee meetings, some as early as 7:30am, and eight of my eleven bills have been referred to committees.

This week we returned to Richmond for the start of the 2023 session of the VA General Assembly. I continue to serve on the committees on Finance, Transportation, and General Laws.  This is our “short session” due to the elections that will take place in November. We have two new members of the House due to the retirement of Delegate Keam and the passing of Delegate Campbell.  It is always great to reconnect with our members from across the Commonwealth. 

In less than two weeks, I’ll be back in Richmond for the 2023 General Assembly Session. I am looking forward to working with my colleagues on many new and impactful bills. During Session, I will introduce commending resolutions to honor residents who deserve recognition for their outstanding contributions to our community. Please send nominations to my Chief of Staff, Madison McCabe, at [email protected]. Your submission should include the nominee’s full name and a description of their contributions.

This week, I joined federal, state, and local officials at the grand opening of the Metro Silver Line Extension. The new rail connections provide convenient and affordable transportation from Reston, Herndon, and Eastern Loudoun County to Washington Dulles International Airport. This is a momentous infrastructure milestone in Northern Virginia! 

Election Day is this Tuesday, November 8th! On Election Day, polls will be open from 6:00am to 7:00pm. If you haven’t already, find your designated polling location and familiarize yourself with important election information at Virginia Department of Elections.

Today is your last chance to apply to vote by mail in the upcoming General Election. Any registered voter can absentee vote by mail without needing a reason or excuse. The fastest and most secure way to apply is online on the Virginia Department of Elections website. You’ll also be able to track the status of your application, as well as when your ballot is mailed to you. Your Virginia driver’s license number is needed to apply online, along with the last four digits of your Social Security number.

Let the countdown begin! We are 17 days away from the General Election and early voting has already begun. There is a lot at stake in this election, so I encourage you to learn about your voting opportunities as soon as possible. Due to redistricting, your Congressional District may have changed for the upcoming election.

Yesterday, Delegate Jackie Glass (VA-89) and I hosted the 10th Women Veterans Roundtable here in McLean, joined by Delegate Vivien Watts (VA-39) and Delegate Danica Roem (VA-13). We had a great turn out and I really appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from our women veterans about their specific needs and concerns. Thank you to all of the incredible women veterans who attended the event. It was so great to meet you! I look forward to organizing another roundtable in the future.

Next Thursday October 6th, Delegate Jackie Glass and I are hosting the 10th Women Veterans Roundtable. This one will be held here in McLean. We are looking forward to hearing from our women veterans. If you are interested in attending, please RSVP online or by contacting my Chief of Staff, Madison McCabe, at [email protected]. Please note that this event is only open to our women veterans.

On October 6th, Delegate Jackie Glass (VA-89) and I are hosting the 10th Women Veterans Roundtable. We invite women veterans to join us for lunch to share your specific needs and concerns. As a longtime champion of women veterans, I value the opportunity to hear from you and I can’t wait to meet you.
