Governor Spanberger Statement on General Assembly's Reconvened Session

RICHMOND, VA - Governor Abigail Spanberger today released the following statement on the completion of the General Assembly's reconvened session.

"Even before I was sworn into office, I joined leaders in the General Assembly to lay out our vision for our Commonwealth's future. This session, lawmakers advanced our shared priorities to make life more affordable for families, strengthen public schools, strengthen protections for working Virginians, keep our communities safe, and attract new business investment. I am tremendously grateful for their work. I was proud to sign legislation that will deliver for Virginians, and I'm excited that even more of our shared priorities will now become law.

"Among our shared priorities are some significant changes for Virginia. As Governor - and the person responsible for implementing these changes, I put forth amendments focused on enabling us to do so. I will continue to work with the patrons of the bills that are coming back to my desk to make sure that when these bills become law, we get it right. In the coming weeks, my priority will be to help facilitate getting a budget to my desk."
