Virginia Votes

SB1233 permits state and local law enforcement to install and operate automated systems to monitor pedestrian-crossing and stop-sign violations in areas such as school zones, highway work zones, and high-risk intersections. The bill proposed renaming "photo speed monitoring devices" to "speed safety cameras" and required clear signage, public awareness campaigns, and annual reporting on the systems' usage and effectiveness. Additionally, it stipulates that any surplus revenue from fines be allocated to local traffic safety initiatives.

The Virginia State Senate passed SB1233 on February 22, 2025 by a vote of 25 to 15. We have assigned pluses to the nays because traffic-monitoring systems undermine due process by removing human oversight and presuming guilt before innocence, violating principles protected by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. These systems also risk infringing on Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. They enable invasive surveillance, expand government overreach, and burden drivers with costly fines, all disguised as public-safety measures.

HB2769 aimed to prohibit life and health-insurance companies from discriminating against individuals solely because they use pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), a medication that significantly reduces the risk of HIV infection. The bill sought to ensure that insurers could not deny coverage, limit benefits, or charge higher premiums based on PrEP usage.

The Virginia State Senate passed HB2769 on February 19, 2025 by a vote of 24 to 15. We have assigned pluses to the nays because no insurer should be forced to cover services that conflict with its principles, particularly contraceptives that may violate deeply held moral or religious beliefs. Mandating such coverage is a clear overreach of government power and undermines both religious liberty and free-market principles. Decisions about insurance coverage should be left to the voluntary agreements between providers and consumers, not dictated by the state.

SB1009 allows all local governments in Virginia to adopt ranked-choice voting (RCV) for their elections, including positions such as mayor and school-board members. Previously, RCV was limited to city-council and county-board elections. The bill also required the State Board of Elections to establish standards for RCV implementation and permitted adjustments to recount procedures to accommodate this voting method.

The Virginia State House of Delegates passed SB1009 on February 19, 2025 by a vote of 50 to 46. We have assigned pluses to the nays because RCV undermines election integrity and the electorate’s ability to choose the best candidate. By design, RCV favors moderate-to-leftist candidates who often fail to uphold the Constitution. This complex, multi-round system can result in winners who lack true plurality support and imposes ballot-marking requirements that may pressure voters to act against their conscience. States should firmly reject all attempts to implement this unconstitutional voting method.

HB1736 proposed establishing the Virginia Center for Firearm Violence Intervention and Prevention within the Department of Criminal Justice Services. This center would serve as the state's primary resource for "research," "best practices," and "strategies" aimed at reducing firearm violence through "community-based" programs.

The Virginia State House of Delegates passed HB1736 on February 18, 2025 by a vote of 52 to 43. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill unnecessarily expands government by creating a new state office whose underlying purpose appears to be an infringement on the Second Amendment-protected right to keep and bear arms. Rather than promoting public safety, the bill paves the way for increased regulation and oversight that could be used to restrict lawful gun ownership.

SB1307 proposed allowing all counties and cities in the state to impose an additional local sales-and-use tax of up to 1%, contingent upon voter approval through a local referendum. The revenue generated from this tax would have been dedicated exclusively to public-school capital projects, such as constructing new school buildings, renovating existing facilities, and upgrading infrastructure. The bill aimed to expand this taxing authority beyond the nine localities that previously had it.

The Virginia State Senate passed SB1307 on February 17, 2025 by a vote of 27 to 12. We have assigned pluses to the nays because sales taxes violate property rights, and allowing taxation by direct democracy—through voter referendum—represents a form of majority tyranny. This undermines the republican form of government the Constitution guarantees. Furthermore, taxpayers should not be compelled to fund public education. Education is not a legitimate function of government, but a personal responsibility and a fundamental parental right. Forcing citizens to subsidize a compulsory, failing, government-run K–12 system infringes on their individual liberties protected by the Bill of Rights. We strongly encourage parents to withdraw their children from government schools and pursue superior alternatives—such as homeschooling or private, patriotic institutions like FreedomProject Academy—which operate independently of government influence and funding.

SB927 establishes the Virginia Sports Tourism Grant Program, administered by the Virginia Tourism Authority. The program provides grants to local entities—such as sports commissions, convention and visitors bureaus, and municipal departments—to develop and attract sports-tourism activities across the state. The goal is to boost economic development by increasing sports-related travel and events in Virginia. The bill requires the Tourism Authority to set guidelines for awarding grants and to report annually on the program's outcomes.

The Virginia State House of Delegates passed SB927 on February 13, 2025 by a vote of 90 to 7. We have assigned pluses to the nays because it expands the role of government into areas best left to the private sector by using taxpayer dollars to fund sports-tourism projects through grants. This is a clear example of corporate welfare that picks winners and losers, favoring politically connected industries or localities at the expense of others. Government should not be in the business of subsidizing tourism or entertainment ventures, as doing so distorts the free market and misuses public funds.

HB2371 aimed to mandate that health-insurance plans covering outpatient prescription drugs also provide coverage for FDA-approved contraceptive drugs and devices, including over-the-counter options. The bill sought to eliminate cost-sharing requirements—such as copayments, coinsurance, or fees—for these contraceptives, thereby reducing financial barriers to access.

The Virginia State House of Delegates passed HB2371 on February 4, 2025 by a vote of 70 to 27. We have assigned pluses to the nays because no insurer should be forced to cover services that conflict with their principles, particularly contraceptives that may violate deeply held moral or religious beliefs. Mandating such coverage is a clear overreach of government power and undermines both religious liberty and free-market principles. The right to life is a foundational principle protected by the Constitution and affirmed in the Declaration of Independence. Decisions about insurance coverage should be left to the voluntary agreements between providers and consumers, not dictated by the state.

HB2113 proposed the creation of the Solar Interconnection Grant Program to provide competitive grants to public bodies, such as local governments and school boards, to help offset the costs of connecting solar-energy facilities to the electric grid. The program, managed by the Department of Energy's Division of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, would prioritize projects located on previously developed sites. It required the Division to establish guidelines for awarding grants and to report annually to the General Assembly.

The Virginia State House of Delegates passed HB2113 on February 4, 2025 by a vote of 68 to 30. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this legislation creates more government interference in the economy and advances the Globalist and Marxist climate-change agenda. Such bills bloat budgets, expand government, and lead to government picking winners and losers with taxpayer funds.

HB2193 restrict the deployment of the Virginia National Guard into active combat situations unless Congress has officially declared war or taken constitutional action to execute U.S. laws, repel invasions, or suppress insurrections. The bill defines "active duty combat" and aims to ensure that the National Guard is not sent into combat without explicit federal authorization. This legislation reflects concerns about the use of state military forces in overseas conflicts without formal congressional approval.

The Virginia State House of Delegates passed HB2193 on February 4, 2025 by a vote of 99 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this would nullify unconstitutional federal deployments of the National Guard. A congressional declaration of war is constitutionally required to enter into a foreign conflict or for another constitutional reason, in accordance with Article I, Section 8, Clauses 11 and 15, of the U.S. Constitution.

HJR1 proposed a constitutional amendment to establish a fundamental "right to reproductive freedom" in Virginia. The amendment aimed to ensure that every individual has the right to make and effectuate decisions about all matters related to pregnancy without interference from the state. It also sought to prohibit the state from penalizing or prosecuting individuals for exercising this "right" or for aiding others in doing so.

The Virginia State Senate passed HJR1 on January 31, 2025 by a vote of 21 to 18. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the care of human life—not its destruction—is the greatest responsibility of government. Virginia ought to forbid all methods of abortion and other grotesque methods of population control entirely and uphold the sanctity of life for every person, especially preborn children. The right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and unalienable right asserted in the Declaration of Independence and protected by the Fifth and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

SB851 prohibits local governments from mandating that owners of Tier 4 rainwater harvesting systems connect to municipal water supplies. This law ensures that individuals using advanced rainwater collection systems can remain independent of public water utilities, even in areas where local ordinances might otherwise require such connections. It also prevents localities from penalizing or condemning properties solely because they rely on these self-sufficient water systems.

The Virginia State Senate passed SB851 on January 31, 2025 by a vote of 40 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill protects homeowners from being forced to connect to government-controlled water systems. SB851 reinforces the fundamental principle that individuals have the right to control and use their private property without undue interference. This aligns with the Fourth Amendment, which guards against unreasonable government intrusion; the Fifth Amendment, which prohibits the government from depriving individuals of property without due process or just compensation; and the 14th Amendment, which extends those protections to actions by state and local governments.

SB995 sought to enhance the training requirements for real estate appraisers by mandating a course on fair-housing laws and appraisal bias as part of the educational prerequisites for licensure. This initiative sought to address and mitigate discriminatory practices in property valuation.

The Virginia State Senate passed SB995 on January 29, 2025 by a vote of 35 to 2. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the government should not interfere with private entities or the free market. This bill imposes unnecessary regulations on appraisers, potentially leading to artificially adjusted property valuations that do not accurately reflect market conditions. In turn, this will increase taxes on the property. By mandating anti-bias training and restricting the factors appraisers can consider, SB995 subjects professionals to government oversight that could pressure them into valuations based on political considerations rather than economic realities. Such interference undermines property rights, distorts fair-market pricing, and sets a dangerous precedent for further state control over private industry, particularly private-property evaluations.

SB393 requires the Major Employment and Investment (MEI) Project Approval Commission to consider a business’ commitment to board diversity before approving major employment and investment projects. Companies must have at least 30% of their board composed of women and historically underrepresented groups and must submit and update annual diversity disclosures.

The Virginia State Senate passed SB393 on March 8, 2024 by a vote of 21 to 19. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill imposes government-mandated diversity quotas on private businesses, forcing them to prioritize identity over merit—an actual racist practice. It advances the Marxist DEI agenda, a tool used to erode free-market principles and individual liberties through bureaucratic control. The Declaration of Independence affirms that "all men are created equal" and are endowed with "certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." This bill directly violates that principle.

HB1174 raises the minimum age to purchase a handgun or assault firearm to 21, and expands the definition of "assault firearm" for background checks. Buyers must consent to a criminal history check, and dealers must verify their age. It also creates a Class 6 felony for anyone under 21 who purchases these firearms.

The Virginia State Senate passed HB1174 on March 8, 2024 by a vote of 21 to 19. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution expressly declares that the right of the American people “to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Raising the minimum age for lawful adults to purchase firearms and expanding background-check requirements impose unconstitutional restrictions on gun rights. These measures arbitrarily deny young adults their God-given right to self-defense and set a dangerous precedent for further government overreach.

SB428 expands ranked-choice voting (RCV) to elections for any local or constitutional office, beyond just county boards and city councils.

The Virginia State House of Delegates passed SB428 on March 6, 2024 by a vote of 54 to 44. We have assigned pluses to the nays because states should oppose all attempts to enact ranked-choice voting. This complicated, multiple-round, and unconstitutional method threatens election integrity by allowing a candidate to potentially win without genuine support from a plurality of voters. The scheme’s ballot casting requirements not only undermine a citizen’s right to vote, but could effectively force them to violate their conscience.

HB1002 requires the Virginia Department of Energy's Division of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency to track and oversee federal grant programs, loan programs, and other funding opportunities that can support Virginia's energy efficiency goals.

The Virginia State Senate passed HB1002 on March 4, 2024 by a vote of 39 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the nays because states should not accept federal grants, which are unconstitutional, and come with strings attached that erode state sovereignty. Additionally, the Virginia Department of Energy’s Division of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency is just more bureaucracy that expands government and wastes taxpayer dollars. Rather than accepting unconstitutional federal funding — which, in this instance, also implements the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development — Virginia should nullify all unconstitutional federal acts pursuant to Article VI and the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

HB1301 amends the Virginia Post-Disaster Anti-Price Gouging Act to broaden the definition of "consumer transaction" to include business-related goods and services. It also extends the "time of disaster" to either the state-of-emergency duration or 30 days after the disaster, whichever is longer.

The Virginia State House of Delegates passed HB1301 on March 4, 2024 by a vote of 88 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the nays because it expands government intervention in the economy. By broadening the definition of "consumer transaction" to include business-related goods and services, the bill increases regulatory control over private enterprise, restricting the ability of businesses to set prices based on supply and demand. Instead of allowing the free market to respond to post-disaster conditions, HB1301 imposes arbitrary price controls that could lead to shortages and inefficiencies.

HB333 clarifies that the Virginia Council on Environmental Justice can travel across the state to observe and document conditions related to human health and the environment in or near "environmental justice communities." It also ensures that the Secretary of Natural and Historic Resources provides direct staff support to the Council, without delegating this responsibility to other agencies.

The Virginia State Senate passed HB333 on March 4, 2024 by a vote of 20 to 19. We have assigned pluses to the nays because no government should expand bureaucracy or enable overreach under the guise of “environmental justice.” This bill risks undermining property rights and imposing an intrusive, agenda-driven surveillance operation. Virginia should reject the leftist climate agenda and protect individual freedoms.

SB336 allows state and local law enforcement to install photo speed-monitoring devices at "high-risk" intersections where a traffic fatality has occurred since January 1, 2014. These devices will record speeding violations and follow the same regulations as those used in school zones and highway work zones.

The Virginia State House of Delegates passed SB336 on February 28, 2024 by a vote of 73 to 26. We have assigned pluses to the nays because speed-monitoring devices undermine due process by removing human oversight and presuming guilt before innocence, violating principles protected by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. These systems also risk infringing on Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. They enable invasive surveillance, expand government overreach, and burden drivers with costly fines, all disguised as public-safety measures.

SB69 expands eligibility for law-enforcement positions to individuals with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status. Under Existing law, only U.S. citizens can serve as police officers, deputy sheriffs, jail officers, and other law-enforcement roles.

The Virginia State House of Delegates passed SB69 on February 28, 2024 by a vote of 53 to 47. We have assigned pluses to the nays because persons who enter the United States illegally—which, by definition, is a crime—ought not to be permitted sanctuary or residency in Virginia, let alone be considered eligible for appointment as local police officers and deputy sheriffs. Rather than pursue a blatantly unconstitutional and anti-American policy that erodes both the rule of law and the value of citizenship, Virginia should use its powers reserved under the U.S. Constitution’s 10th Amendment to end the crisis of illegal migration and provide for the public safety. 

HB609 establishes the "right" to access contraception, including contraceptive drugs, devices, and sterilization procedures. It prohibits any law, regulation, or policy that "restricts access" to contraceptives or related information. Health care providers are also given the "right" to offer contraceptives and related services. The bill outlines legal protections for individuals or entities whose "rights" are infringed, providing a defense if a law significantly advances health and safety.

The Virginia State House of Delegates passed HB609 on February 28, 2024 by a vote of 55 to 44. We have assigned pluses to the nays because contraception is not a right, and the care of human life—not its destruction—is the greatest responsibility of government. Both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution affirm the fundamental, God-given, and unalienable right to life and limb of every person. Therefore, each of the several States has a duty to defend the basic humanity of all its citizens, especially the preborn.

SB14 allows any county or city to impose an additional local sales tax of up to 1% to fund school construction or renovation, regardless of when the project began. It also removes limits on county funding for certain towns that have not complied with charter election provisions.

The Virgina State House of Delegates passed SB14 on February 26, 2024 by a vote of 68 to 28. We have assigned pluses to the nays because elected officials should work to cut government spending and taxes, not increase them. Additionally, lawmakers should not use taxes to fund a failing public-education system that prioritizes indoctrination over academic excellence. Despite ever-increasing funding, public schools continue to produce poor results while pushing radical social agendas. Rather than expanding government control, lawmakers should work to defund public education and return control to families.

HB673 directs the Department of Conservation and Recreation to prioritize funding for projects in low-income areas and those using nature-based solutions when distributing loans or grants from the Resilient Virginia Revolving Fund.

The Virginia State Senate passed HB673 on February 20, 2024 by a vote of 28 to 11. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the government should not pick winners and losers based on income or "preferred" environmental strategies. The United States were founded on the principle that “all men are created equal,” and taxpayer dollars should not be used to benefit select groups over others. HB673 injects social engineering into grant distribution, favoring certain communities while sidelining others, rather than ensuring funds are allocated based on need and merit.

SB716 prevents the Board of Medicine from disciplining a doctor for providing abortions that is legal under Virginia law, regardless of where the abortion happened.

The Virginia State Senate passed SB716 on February 6, 2024 by a vote of 21 to 18. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and unalienable right asserted in the Declaration of Independence and protected by the U.S. Constitution, and SB716 violates that right. Furthermore, there should be a greater effort to provide specific protections for the right to life beyond those provided by the 4th, 5th, and 14th Amendments.

SB1441 requires that the State Corporation Commission, in conducting its review of costs associated with generating facilities utilizing energy derived from offshore wind, to give due consideration to the economic development benefits of the project for Virginia, including capital investments and job creation, arising from project construction and operation and the manufacture of wind turbine generator components and subcomponents. The bill also accelerates the timeline from 2034 to 2032 for public utilities to construct or purchase one or more offshore wind generation facilities.

The Virginia State Assembly passed SB1441 on February 21, 2023 by a vote of 87 to 12. We have assigned pluses to the nays because it is well known that wind, solar, and green energy receive substantial government subsidies, raising serious concerns about their constitutionality. The globalist green agenda, associated with the UN's Agenda 2030, has no place in this country. Wind energy is an attempt to manipulate public opinion and promote a leftist agenda. SB1441 squanders taxpayer money and resources by collecting unnecessary data solely to expedite wind facility projects. This should not happen at all.

SB1405 would conform Virginia to the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) on a rolling basis. This would allow Virginia to conform to federal tax changes to the IRC as soon as they are enacted by Congress and it would also allow Virginia to conform to the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) and the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 (“CAA”).

The Virginia State Assembly passed SB1405 on April 12, 2023 by a vote of 93 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the nays because it is irresponsible to legally bind one's state to changes in federal law, especially regarding tax policy. While it might be convenient in the short-run, such a decision could potentially complicate future attempts to nullify federal tax laws, particularly if they become excessively draconian. The Constitution establishes a system of checks and balances, which safeguards state sovereignty by preventing the federal government from exceeding its authority and encroaching upon powers reserved for the states. It is best to embrace federalism and keep states and the federal government as separate as possible.

SB1459 prohibits any employee or agent of any public body or person or entity contracting with any such public body from downloading or using any application, including TikTok or WeChat, or accessing any website developed by ByteDance Ltd. or Tencent Holdings Ltd. (i) on any government-issued device or government-owned or government-leased equipment.

The Virginia State Assembly passed SB1459 on April 12, 2023 by a vote of 65 to 29. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because companies such as ByteDance, a Chinese company that owns TikTok, are accused of utilizing their platform and algorithms to promote propaganda aligned with the Chinese Communist Party. Moreover, there are concerns that they collect and retain personal user information for the purpose of surveillance on American citizens.

SB1051 provides that a vehicle owned and operated by a public utility company or broadband service provider for purposes of providing service and maintenance for such company or provider may be temporarily left on private property without the consent of the owner of the property.

The Virginia State Senate passed SB1051 on April 12, 2023 by a vote of 22 to 18. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this law blatantly violates the U.S. Constitution, specifically the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. The Fifth Amendment explicitly states, "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." Furthermore, the Fourteenth Amendment declares, "nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."

SB861 authorizes the governing body of any locality in Planning District 23 to establish a traffic control device violation monitoring system, which allows imposing monetary liability on the operator of a vehicle for failure to comply with traffic control devices at any intersection deemed by the local governing body to be negatively impacted by traffic due to the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel Express Lanes Hampton Segment Project.

The Virginia State Senate passed SB861 on February 22, 2023 by a vote of 28 to 12. The have assigned pluses to the nays because traffic control device monitoring systems are argued to violate due process, a fundamental principle enshrined in the U.S. Constitution and primarily protected by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. Additionally, these systems can be seen as infringing upon the Fourth Amendment, which safeguards individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government.

SB1085 directs the Superintendent of State police to convene a work group to examine the issue of vehicle noise in Virginia.

The Virginia State Assembly passed SB1085 on February 21, 2023 by a vote of 77 to 21. We have assigned pluses to the nays because there is nothing more absurd than establishing a work committee solely focused on addressing vehicle noise. This effort is part of the broader environmental and green agenda, with the government advocating for quieter electric vehicles. The committee's purpose is to deliver their findings to the Chairmen of the Senate and House Committees on Transportation, which is indicative of the government's intentions to eventually ban gas-powered vehicles in the state as is already happening in other leftist-run states, which interferes with the free market.

The Virginia State Assembly passed SB861 on February 21, 2023 by a vote of 55 to 42. The have assigned pluses to the nays because traffic control device monitoring systems may violate due process because it takes away human interaction and presumes people are guilty before proven innocent, a fundamental principle enshrined in the U.S. Constitution and primarily protected by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. Additionally, these systems can be seen as infringing upon the Fourth Amendment, which safeguards individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government.

SB1051 provides that a vehicle owned and operated by a public utility company or broadband service provider for purposes of providing service and maintenance for such company or provider may be temporarily left on private property without the consent of the owner of the property.

The Fifth Amendment explicitly states, "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." Furthermore, the Fourteenth Amendment declares, "nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."

SB1085 directs the Superintendent of State police to convene a work group to examine the issue of vehicle noise in Virginia.

The Virginia State Senate passed SB1085 on February 6, 2023 by a vote of 31 to 8.

SJR255 would have created a “right” to abortion in the Virginia Constitution.

The Virginia State Senate passed SJR255 on February 7, 2023 by a vote of 21 to 18. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and unalienable right asserted in the Declaration of Independence and protected by the U.S. Constitution and SJR255 violates that right. Furthermore, there should be a greater effort to provide specific protections for the right to life beyond those provided by the 4th, 5th, and 14th Amendments.

HB158 limits the duration of any executive order under the emergency service and disaster law to a maximum 45 days from the date of issuance and is prohibited from issuing the same or similar rule immediately after it's expiration.

The Virginia State Senate passed HB158 on March 8, 2022 by a vote of 22 to 16. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because our founding fathers believed that checks and balances in government are essential to keeping our elected officials in check with the Constitution and to prevent any unconstitutional government overreach. Article IV, Section 4, of the U.S. Constitution, requires a limitation and separation of powers and the governor should not have unlimited executive power.

SB706 Prohibits operators of semi trucks and other large vehicles from using cruise control or compression release engine brakes when driving in active snow, sleet, or freezing rain.

The Virginia State House of Delegates passed SB706 on March 4, 2022 by a vote of 94 to 4. We have assigned plusses to the nays because this bill expands government's interference in free-market commerce. The Declaration of Independence states, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” and government interference in someone's privacy, entrepreneurship and private business is in violation of that belief.

HB1265 expends $600 million in federal funds and federal grants to expand broadband and make it more affordable to tens of thousands of Virginians.

The Virginia State House of Delegates passed HB1265 on March 2, 2022 by a vote of 89 to 10. We have assigned pluses to the nays because federal funds for unconstitutional use comes with string attached, which expands the size of government. Government subsidized internet benefits only a specific part of the population. This is also another step towards socialism and government interference in the free market.

HB891 Removes the term "alien" from the Code of Virginia as it pertains to persons who are not citizens of the United States and replaces it with less offensive terms.

The Virginia State Senate passed HB891 on February 28, 2022 by a vote of 22 to 18. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill is conforming to the woke leftist culture that focus's on virtue signaling and being politically correct.

HB1265 expends $600 million in federal funds and federal grants to expand broadband and make it more affordable to tens of thousands of Virginians.

The Virginia State State Senate passed HB1265 on February 28, 2022 by a vote of 40 to 0.

SB706 Prohibits operators of semi trucks and other large vehicles from using cruise control or compression release engine brakes when driving in active snow, sleet, or freezing rain.

The Virginia State Senate passed SB706 on February 15, 2022 by a vote of 26 to 13. We have assigned plusses to the nays because this bill expands government's interference in free-market commerce.
