RICHMOND, VA - On Monday morning, Senator Lashrecse D. Aird will deliver the Senate Democratic Rebuttal to Governor Glenn Youngkin’s annual State of the Commonwealth address.
“It is truly an honor to be able to provide the response to Governor Youngkin’s State of the Commonwealth Address on behalf of Senate Democrats. While once again the Governor is proposing the same ineffective playbook – prioritizing tax cuts for the most wealthy while the majority of Virginians are left footing the bill in the form of reduced services, higher costs and worsening outcomes. Senate Democrats are focused on real, tangible solutions to the problems everyday families are facing: unaffordable housing prices, rising food costs and communities that feel less safe,” said Senator Lashrecse Aird (D-Henrico). “I look forward to outlining the Senate Democratic vision to uplift all Virginians, not just for those in the highest tax bracket.”
The livestream for the State of the Commonwealth as well as the Senate and House Democratic Rebuttals can be found at vpm.org/livetv.
Senator Lashrecse Aird represents 8 diverse localities driving her consistent approach of pragmatic governing – known as a champion on education issues, criminal justice reform, reproductive healthcare access, and economic development. With a willingness to reach across the aisle and work bipartisan to get things done, Senator Aird has a proven track record of legislative successes at the State Capitol.
