Senator, I appreciate the fact that you’re sharing your opinion on this issue. But, speaking as a long-term business owner (retired), business looks for certainty. When they make a commitment to invest based on agreed strategies and promises from Virginia and those agreements are broken after the business lived up to their end we will earn the reputation of being a bait & switch state. Some folks may not love data centers and other high tech companies but Virginia & its citizens have benefited greatly through high paying careers and significant revenue. We’ve got enough challenges without adding this.

With all due respect to any members of the General assembly who feel otherwise, I believe there should be an expiration date for data center sales and use tax exemption. Those companies can afford to pay their fair share.

According to your own party leaders the first 1.4 million weren’t part of the election. And looking at voting trends it appears that conservative district voters showed up on April 21 more than progressives. So some might say that the No Vote won on ‘Election Day’
Delegate Adele McClure@AdeleMcClure_

More than 3 million Virginians cast ballots. The people spoke. Your votes mattered then, and they matter now. As a result of the ruling, I am suspending my campaign for Congress. But our fight for fair representation, voting rights, and democracy does not end today. Onward.

Before you all get your panties in a wad you should realize that this is a fake account. Although it does not identify as a parody feed despite years of triggering, there is no @RepJackKimble nor is there a 54th district in CA.

@BillKristol Yes, and trees are wood. Always have been, always will. Of course you define pro-freedom as taking our rights to protect ourselves, pro-law & order is putting violent criminals back on the streets, & limited government is when everyone becomes dependent on government handouts

I’m pro-freedom, pro-law and order, pro-limited government, and pro-the Declaration and the Constitution. And so today I’m a Democrat.

🚨STATEMENT from RPV Chair Jeff Ryer: “Expeditiously and without dissent, the Supreme Court of the United States has effectively affirmed the judgment of the Supreme Court of Virginia. This action brings to an end this disheartening and cynical episode in Virginia history, where one party tried to silence the voices of half of their fellow Virginians.”

Idk I feel like I’ve said it many times but I am being honest when I say this: Redistricting is dead in Virginia and it’s not coming back.

Those who tell you Data Centers are a drain on communities are covering up their real agenda; limit American innovation/economic success.

To be precise: the multiplier effect is the point, not headcount per site. BLS data from Loudoun County shows 30,000+ downstream tech jobs created from data center density — fiber buildout, power infrastructure, supplier networks. Each build catalyzes years of local investment. The comparison is about enabling infrastructure, not warehouse gigs. nvtc.org/press-releases…

If Republicans erase Jim Clyburn’s district, I will do everything in my power to help Democrats flip every last one of South Carolina’s newly-drawn districts. And that’s a promise.

@SalimForVA You should sit this one out, Senator. This isn’t a serious response to a serious public safety issue—and it shows.

@MarkWarner While @POTUS puts the long-term safety of America & the globe first @MarkWarner handed the Iranians a 10-year plan for nuclear weapons. Those 10 years have passed & only b/c of @realDonaldTrump have we stopped them. You should thank him but you can’t b/c he thwarted your plan.

Governor Spanberger does not deserve credit for vetoing statewide collective bargaining. Let’s remember what actually happened. The General Assembly passed a bill deliberately designed to delay implementation until 2028 — safely after the 2027 elections and after the next budget cycle — so Virginians wouldn’t immediately feel the tax increases and financial consequences. Governor Spanberger didn’t oppose the policy. In fact, she made clear she was willing to sign it. Her only objection was that the delay wasn’t long enough. Her amendment would have pushed implementation all the way to 2030 — an extraordinary attempt to kick the consequences entirely beyond her own term in office so another Governor and another General Assembly would be left holding the bag. When lawmakers rejected her effort to avoid political accountability, she vetoed the bill. This veto was not about protecting taxpayers, local governments, or Virginia families from the costs of forced collective bargaining. It was about protecting Abigail Spanberger from the blame.
