Video: Sen. Chap Petersen (D-Fairfax) & His Dem Primary Challenger @SalimVASenate Disagree Strongly on Whether to Repeal So-Called “Right-to-Work” Laws in VA (Salim - what Petersen said is "just false" & "a scaremongering tactic aimed at Republican votes")

As per Senate tradition, after new Senators take their oaths-of-office, current members introduce them to the rest of the Senate. Yesterday, I was honored to have @SenatorHashmi introduce me.

Virginia, and especially Northern Virginia, must build more housing. Allowing ADU's is one piece of the puzzle to diversify the housing stock, create more choices, and make housing costs more reasonable for the average Virginian.

NEW from me: Accessory dwelling units are smaller, cheaper and some see them as a fix to #VALeg 's housing shortage. But balancing local and state authority to allow them is the first hurdle. @CarrieCoyner @SalimVASenate #ADUs

I am proud to be sponsoring SB304 this year to help Virginians with the skyrocketing cost of housing. I have heard from so many Virginians who are being priced out of our communities due to a shortage of diverse and creative housing options.

Last night Gov. Youngkin vetoed legislation that would have: ❌ Protected Virginians’ right to contraception ❌ Removed tax breaks from racist neo-confederate organizations ❌ brought hundreds of millions of dollars into VA for climate & clean energy Virginia deserves better
