Truly amazing. 1. Total and obvious dodge. 2. Suggesting that nursing homes have a right to privacy as to the health & mortality rates of residents. Is he not even remotely interested in the protection of the vulnerable adults who now or in the future might reside there? https://t.co/K4PPaVq9UV

Bad day for Va Taxpayers. Va Dems just passed a bill requiring VEC to continue paying erroneously awarded Unemployment Benefits & prohibiting VEC from seeking most repayment. Comes 1 week after disclosure of $41 million paid to inmates of jails & prisons! HB2040

My parole transparency bills (SB 1104 /1125) reported unanimously from Senate SS/Rehab Committee & now move to the Finance Committee. These measures should ensure that the Board follows the law & its own policies & provides to victims & their families the respect they deserve.

Protecting vulnerable seniors from exploitation is essential. Im a part-time legislator & a full-time attorney. In Dec. I tried - and won - a case to protect the family of a vulnerable senior. My 2020 bill would do�the same. Click =G for article: https://t.co/6W95ROx1bR https://t.co/xdu19ozfLb

It was wonderful to welcome Pastor Donnie Owen and his wife Alesia here to the Senate today. Pastor Owen gave a phenomenal invocation and I'm grateful for his pastoral leadership in the Valley. https://t.co/rptlzyBQ1E
