@ChazNuttycombe VB already has 10 Single-member districts, drawn by a special master after a lawsuit in 2021. The referendum was a measure to solidify that system into their charter. Youngkin vetoed charter change 2 years in a row.

This is a great day for Virginia Beach. I thank the voters for making their voices heard and taking a meaningful step toward a truly representative local government that gives every community a stronger voice. For too long, the previous at large system diluted representation. The 10-1 voting system, with ten single member districts and one at-large mayor, is not a cure all, but it offers greater fairness and accountability. The power of our voting system always lies with the people, and this decision reflects the will of residents who stood up and demanded a government that represents them. As Chair of the Senate Privileges and Elections Committee, I look forward to carrying legislation to change the Virginia Beach City Charter to fully adopt the 10-1 voting system. I commend the voters, community advocates and local leaders who made this possible and remain committed to implementing a system that expands access, strengthens trust, and builds a city that works for everyone.

Great morning in Virginia Beach touring the new Dome — what a phenomenal venue to add to Virginia Beach’s incredible collection of attractions! Thrilled to see this project continue Hampton Roads’ legacy of musical excellence.

We need to build more homes. Rents and mortgages are too expensive because we have a steep supply issue. I want to pass legislation that makes it easier to build more homes and drive down costs for all.

Disappointed @MLB will move the All-Star Game, but proud of their stance on voting rights. GA GOP traded economic opportunity for suppression. On behalf of PoC targeted by #SB202 to lose votes + now wages, I urge events & productions to come & speak out or stay & fight. #gapol

Whole lotta why didn’t he comply in the comments. 1) He did. He answered their questions 2) You’re not required to talk to the police or give them your information 3) the 👮‍♀️ are so used to having unchecked authority that when you don’t kiss their ass, it feels like resistance.

An 18-year old black man — Rodney Reese — was walking home from work at @Walmart during #TexasFreeze when @PlanoPoliceDept officers charged him with “Pedestrian in the Roadway”, Tuesday. He spent the night in jail. I’m speaking with him — and the Chief of Police, tonight. @FOX4

Am I the only one seeing the irony in AOC and Beto doing more this week to help Texans in need than Ted Cruz, Greg Abbott, and John Cornyn combined?

Totally blown away. $1M raised in direct relief for Texans in less than a day. As a thank you to everyone who contributed & amplified, I’ll be going to Texas this weekend to visit w/ @LaCongresista in Houston & highlight what’s happening on the ground. secure.actblue.com/donate/aoc-soc…

Moving local elections from May to November ensures more voices are heard in the election process. I have heard all of the concerns, but this is the right policy decision for Virginia. We need to continue to advance ideas that encourage more voter empowerment.

The great irony of this situation will be if all these bizarre efforts to undermine the electoral college and overturn the results of the election leads to the end of the electoral college which, likely, would benefit Democrats!

In 4 years: * Lost the White House * Lost the Senate * Lost the House And today, 13 Republicans in the US Senate and 140 in the House will attempt to thwart our Democracy. Lindsey, you were right.
