It will be effective in ~2 weeks

Youngkin took this position all during his campaign. It's one of the reasons he was elected.


+1 The positions he is taking are broadly popular with most Virginians. He knows he’s not going to win over NOVA liberals regardless so I doubt he’s all that concerned with their perceptions of him.



He won over this NOVA liberal. I went from "you've got to be kidding; I would never," to "how bad does it have to get on the D side" to "OK, I'll hold my nose and vote for Youngkin," to "can you send me a yard sign." Very happy so far.


Fair enough, I stand corrected

Peterson and Morrissey are both POSs. They will vote pro-life next.

I know. And half of NOVA voted for him. Petersen and Youngkin are only doing what vocal constituents asked for.

Now, how do we get Chap Peterson thrown out of office? 10% to recall him right?


Funny - you had no problem when Democrats like Peterson were sponsoring legislation to force schools statewide to remain open regardless of rising cases. Now its masks - its an issue?



I absolutely had a problem. Difference is Petersen is my senator. I can actually do something about him.

I am gobsmacked by Youngkin's missteps, though. What a rank amateur who has surrounded himself by clowns.
