“We can reduce taxes while making record investments in education, law enforcement, and behavioral health. With a $3.6 billion surplus in Virginia’s state budget, we must live in a world of ‘and,’ not ‘or,’” said Governor Glenn Youngkin. 

Being a parent isn’t easy; across the Commonwealth, we are having a conversation about being a parent – and not only our responsibility but our rights to raise our children consistent with values that reflect us, not politicians or bureaucrats. In Virginia, #ParentsMatter.

This week, Governor Youngkin officially opened Virginia-founded RapidFlight's new 25,000-square-foot state-of-the-art aviation facility. They are a testament to what Governor Youngkin is working tirelessly to achieve, an entrepreneurial environment to start and grow your business right here in Virginia.

This week, the Governor and First Lady hosted the outgoing class of Governor’s Fellows for a celebratory farewell reception at the Executive Mansion. With internship placements throughout the Executive Branch, the Governor’s Fellows Program provides opportunities for outstanding college and graduate students from across the Commonwealth to gain hands-on experience in state government operations. With National and Virginia Intern Day just around the corner, we celebrate the impacts these 37 Fellows have made in their summer of service and look forward to hearing about their future endeavors.

This week, Governor Youngkin and the First Lady welcomed Katie Rose, a former intern, back to the Patrick Henry Building as Miss Virginia. Rose, who competed as Miss Loudoun County, won the crown as the 70th Miss Virginia as well as a spot in the Miss America pageant later this year. 

Summer is a fantastic time to explore Virginia’s natural beauty, as captured by Helen Crighton’s painting ‘James River: The Rapids’. On loan from Richmond’s Valentine Museum and displayed in the Executive Mansion as part of the Art Experience, the painting reminds visitors of the River’s enduring role in Virginia’s #homehistory and encourages viewers to experience its natural wonder in person. To view ‘James River: The Rapids,’ visit the Executive Mansion from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays, or head to the Executive Mansion’s website to learn more about the Art Experience!
