The Virginia House Committee on Privileges and Elections has voted to report the Equal Rights Amendment on a party-line vote, 13-9. For the first time, the ERA will now be heard on the floor of the House of Delegates. #VARatifyERA pic.twitter.com/0P4ue57lUW

I just cast my first committee vote for the ERA! The measure passed 14 to 9 and now heads to the Virginia House of Delegates. pic.twitter.com/mFb4C0iTcK

ERA passed out of Virginia House Privileges and Elections—where Cole wouldn’t even give it a hearing last year. And Madam Speaker Filler-Corn came to lend her support! #varatifyera #shesawoman pic.twitter.com/KaFjWRDYBp

This morning in the Privileges and Elections Committee, I was proud to cast my vote in favor of sending the Equal Rights Amendment to the House Floor. The ERA is long overdue, and we are now one step closer to being the 38th state needed to ratify the amendment. pic.twitter.com/TCK04wOujS

It bears mentioning that while today’s House Priviliges and Elections Committee vote to report the ERA ratification resolution wasn’t at all drama-filled, the House of Delegates has NEVER passed an ERA resolution, nor ever gotten one out of Committee before! (Senate has 4 times).
