Another day of very quick, but important, action in the
House and Senate today.
The House of Delegates passed House Joint Resolution 727
Commending VA Teacher of the Year, and VEA member, Dr. Toney McNair. Such a
great honor for such a great educator and a good man. Congratulations Toney!
The Senate swore in both new Senators (prior to the State
Board of Election certifying the results, see previous post if you want to know
more about that). The VEA recommended Jennifer McClellan in Senate District 9
and we could not be more thrilled she is now in the Senate. In the 22nd
district Mark Peake was sworn in and the Senate remains 21 Republicans and 19
Democrats.
Congratulations to our two new Virginia Senators!
VEA bills start appearing on committee dockets at 8am Monday. Quick days on the floor are over for sure.
