Today was the final day of the 2024 General Assembly session and we ended on a high note with three of my bills being signed into law by Governor Glenn Youngkin before heading back to SWVA!

As a member of the Abandoned Mine Land Economic Revitalization (AMLER) committee, I’m thrilled to support the $1M investment to deliver critical wireless infrastructure along US 460, one of the region’s most important economic & transportation corridors. wcyb.com/news/local/1m-…

Today I had the honor of presenting Senate Resolution 681 commending the congregation of Sinking Spring Presbyterian Church in Abingdon on the celebration of their 250th anniversary. What a testimony!

Huge education/workforce announcement at Higher Ed Center! Two of SWVA’s best assets Food City & Appalachian College of Pharmacy have partnered to establish an online Certified Pharmacy Tech program, allowing our region to retain some of our best talent & improving access to care.

Enjoyed visiting with students in the Leadership Live class at jsbhs_trojans this morning. The future is bright!

“It only takes one” was the message from today’s bill signing w/ Governor Glenn Youngkin . As the sponsor of the 3 bills signed today, I’m encouraged by the coalition we are building to tackle the fatal overdose and substance use crisis. One pill can kill—but one person can help save a life.

In SWVA, we know that strong partnerships and a collaborative spirit are key to unleashing our potential. Working together, this initiative by Governor Glenn Youngkin will help accelerate the momentum our region has built up in recent years. governor.virginia.gov/newsroom/news-…

Proud to join Governor Glenn Youngkin in supporting these projects which will create jobs, improve infrastructure, and support local businesses in Virginia’s Appalachian Region. governor.virginia.gov/newsroom/news-…

We’ve immediately started the initial damage assessment process necessary to request a federal disaster relief declaration and I will immediately make that request once this work is completed. governor.virginia.gov/newsroom/news-…

The grit, courage, and perseverance of Southwest Virginians will guide us through this difficult time. There's a lot of work ahead, but together, I know Southwest Virginia will rebuild stronger than ever.

Promises made, promises kept! Thank you to Vice President JD Vance Vance for returning to Damascus to once again shine a light on the strength and resilience of SWVA. The administration’s commitment to helping SWVA recover is evident as this was his first official trip as VP.

As the Virginia Promise in Action 2025 Child Care Leadership Awardee, I’m proud of Virginia’s best-in-class early childhood care and education system that supports school-ready children, work-ready parents, thriving communities, and a strong economy.

Don’t miss it!
