Dear Jack,

Being back In Loudoun, speaking with community members, and hearing your thoughts on this year’s General Assembly Session and the broader public issues, enables me to best represent the district. The feedback you provide is critical for successful public service and I hope the information provided in this week’s outreach affords you ample opportunity to weigh in!

The Virginia House Speaker’s Emergency Committee on the Impacts of Federal Workers and Funding Reductions will meet throughout the Commonwealth to hear from different regions about how they have been impacted by the ongoing layoffs of federal employees and cuts to various federal programs. I am working with the Chairman of that committee to ensure Loudoun has a voice in our regional discussion. More details will become available as the committee’s meeting schedule becomes finalized. While we may be facing difficult changes on the federal level, state and local officials are working to develop responses that help Virginians and protect our economic stability.

With the recent layoffs conducted by the Presidential administration, many families in our community are in limbo about where they will find relief or new employment opportunities. My office has put together a resource list for Loudoun County including state and local relief options for those who have been recently laid off. We will work to update this list with additional services as necessary. Click on the button below to view our page on Resources for Federal Workers.

Navigating state agencies can be confusing and difficult at times. As your delegate, I can help you communicate with state agencies such as the Virginia Employment Commission, Departments of Taxation, Social Services, Transportation, and more! I can also submit inquiries with those agencies on your behalf and help you engage with the state agency you need. There are limits to what I can do, however. For example, I am unable to expedite cases or force state agencies to favor your inquiry, provide legal advice or recommend a specific attorney, intervene with judicial issues, overturn decisions, or be involved with matters involving private businesses. 

Whether you want to bring an issue to my attention, need my office’s assistance, or want to invite me to a community event, please reach out! If there is any way I can assist you, please let me know here: https://atoosareaser.com/help/.
