Federal Impacts on Virginia

Please know that the General Assembly is closely watching what is happening on the Federal level and are prepared to be called back to Richmond at any time to re-work the budget to respond to the many devastating actions made by the Trump Administration. In the meantime, we will continue to share resources for those impact by these unprecedented job cuts. While we do not have answers for many of the erratic moves happening across the river, I want to share resources that may be helpful to impacted members of our community. Additionally, do not hesitate to reach out to my office.
