The highlights and innovations included were possible with the support of VPAP's 1,500 donors, each of whom is listed in the report.
Redistricting Delayed
It's official — Virginia will not have time to redraw new House of Delegates districts in time for the November elections.

It's become increasingly rare to see disagreements fall along any line other than Democrat v. Republican during the 2021 General Assembly session. See how the last four legislative sessions compare.
New bill limits cut by half the number of measures introduced at this year's General Assembly session. With fewer bills introduced this year, the success rate at cross-over was up for three of the four caucuses.
