Here is a brief update on the legislative process, as we move into the next phase. Over the coming month, the Governor will be reviewing the bills that have passed the General Assembly. He has the option to sign them into law, veto them, or send them back to the General Assembly with proposed amendments.

In April, we will return to Richmond for the Reconvene Session. During this time, we will review the Governor's actions on the legislation and address any amendments he may have put forward.

Following the Reconvene Session, there is a possibility that the General Assembly will enter a special session to discuss the biennial budget in more detail. As you may remember, towards the end of the General Assembly session, we approved a conference budget that included increased funding for key areas like education, healthcare, and tax relief for all Virginians. Depending on the Governor's response to this budget, a special session may be necessary to finalize the details.

As our office continues to prioritize the work we can do for all of you, I must acknowledge the profound impact that recent federal government changes under the new Presidential Administration are having on many, including our own friends and family. The significant cuts in both jobs and funding are taking a heavy toll on hardworking public servants who have dedicated their lives to serving the nation through civilian service. These decisions will undoubtedly have a substantial impact on Loudoun County and Northern Virginia - regions that serve as the financial backbone of the Commonwealth – particularly for our less affluent communities.

Although our Governor and state Attorney General did not join other states in taking actions against these moves and to indemnify Virginia, our Speaker of the House, Don Scott, convened the Emergency Committee on the Impacts of Federal Workers and Funding Reductions. Pending our collaboration with the Emergency Committee, our office has compiled a list of resources that may offer some assistance. We are committed to finding ways to do more.
