The VAntage Point #1: The stories that get written

Here are a few things you may have missed in the deluge of recent news stories…

• After we flipped both chambers of the General Assembly last November, our new majority in Richmond passed long-overdue gun safety bills, delivering on our campaign promises to keep Virginians safe. Gov. Northam signed these new bills into law on April 10th.


• The governor also signed the Reproductive Health Protection Act, ending draconian restrictions on abortion procedures and halting the assault on reproductive rights in Virginia.


• Voting rights in the Commonwealth have also transformed. Gov. Northam signed a host of bills last week including automatic voter registration, expanded absentee voting and vote-by-mail, and same-day voting.


• We officially removed racially discriminatory language on the books that allowed for segregation in public transportation, medical care, and public facilities.

Stories like these are proof of what happens when Democrats win up and down the ballot. We’ve made amazing progress in the last three years but if we want to continue that progress, we need to re-elect Virginia Democrats in Congress. Donate today to send our entire congressional delegation back to Washington.

Until next time, this is the VAntage Point.

Stay safe,
