VPAP tracks floor votes in the General Assembly where one-third of the legislators were opposed to the measure. Each "close vote" includes analysis showing how the "yays" and "nays" broke along lines of party, gender, regional and population density. See bills with close votes here.
Candidates Added to VPAP's Unofficial Lists
This week, VPAP updated its unofficial list of candidates running for the House of Delegates. Find out who's running where.
The unofficial candidate lists maintained by VPAP are below:
Four years ago, Democrats were locked in a gubernatorial nomination battle between an establishment favorite (Ralph Northam) and a progressive upstart (Tom Perriello). See what percentage of each 2021 gubernatorial candidate's contributions have come from donors to Northam or Perriello.
A record number of Democrats in the House of Delegates face a challenge from within their own party this year. See how that number compares to House incumbents "primaried" in general election cycles since 1999.
Fourteen former General Assembly members have registered this year to lobby their former colleagues. They are among 39 legislators who have become lobbyists during the last decade.
The number of bills introduced this year during the pandemic-shortened General Assembly fell by half. These six topics that yielded more (or the same number of) bills as last year.
This year, fewer companies, associations and organizations hired lobbyists for the first time. See the 111 new lobbying clients grouped by topic area and links to each client's list of lobbyists and the matters they intend to lobby.
Each week, VPAP and RadioIQ team up to bring you a pair of human interest stories culled from the headlines of VaNews. The segments are produced by WVTF in Roanoke and carried on public radio stations across the Commonwealth.
