As the General Assembly adjourns sine die, I thank the members of the Senate and House for their dedication during the 2026 legislative session. It’s been an honor to preside over the Senate as we worked to support Virginia’s families and strengthen our Commonwealth.

The attack on Michigan’s Temple Israel yesterday was devastating. No house of worship should be a target for violence or bigotry, and antisemitism has no place in America. I’m relieved the children are safe, and my thoughts are with the injured guard and families.

My thoughts are with the Old Dominion University community, as they grapple with an on-campus shooting that left two individuals in critical condition. We are grateful to the first responders and campus officials on scene.

Thank you to the organizers who invited me to speak at today’s Stand Up for Science rally. At a time of climate threats and rising misinformation, we must protect public health, act on the evidence, and put science back at the center of policymaking.

I so enjoyed connecting with students from the Virginia Community College System and Chancellor David Doré for VCCS Advocacy Day. After teaching at Virginia’s community colleges for decades, I know firsthand the power of these institutions to shape leaders and change lives.

It was an honor to speak alongside Chief Stephen Adkins of the Chickahominy Tribe at the Library of Virginia. As stewards of Virginia’s history, our museums honor the people and moments whose contributions have defined the social and cultural fabric of the Commonwealth.
