See below for a press release from Gov. Youngkin’s office, announcing his legislative agenda priorities for this General Assembly session. As you can see, there are a bunch of priorities that almost certainly will be rejected – and should be – by the Virginia State Senate, which thankfully continues to be controlled by Democrats.

Governor Youngkin Announces His Legislative Agenda Priorities

RICHMOND, VA—Governor Glenn Youngkin today announced the legislation, budget amendments, and initiatives he will be supporting to further his Day One Agenda priorities.

“Today, I am proud to share the more than 59 pieces of legislation and a package of more than 25 budget amendments that I will be supporting. These reflect bipartisan priorities like fully eliminating the grocery tax, doing more to train and equip our workforce, and providing funding to create 20 new innovation schools across the Commonwealth. These initiatives will make Virginia’s communities safer, restore academic excellence, lower the cost of living, and I look forward to seeing these bills come to my desk,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin.
