In early 2020, Freitas missed a key vote on an insulin pricing cap for Virginians. After a Senate amendment that made the cap less aggressive, Freitas actually voted against the legislation, which passed to cap the cost of the lifesaving medication. Freitas Refused To Commit To COVID-19 Relief For Americans And Voted Against State Legislation That Helped Virginians Working From Home. Freitas refused to commit to voting for the CARES act had he been in the House of Representatives. While admitting that Americans need some form of aid during the COVID-19 Pandemic, Freitas refused to answer whether he would have supported the CARES act. He instead criticized elements of the bill, such as funding for the Kennedy Center. Furthermore, Freitas voted against legislation prior to the pandemic, such as a teleworking tax credit, that would aid Virginians in the current economic situation. Freitas Called The Affordable Care Act A “Cancer” And He Supported Its Full Repeal. Freitas was a vehement critic of the Affordable Care Act, which he has described as a “Cancer.” Freitas has indicated his support for a full repeal of the legislation vital to millions. Freitas also mocked people who were used to the idea of employer-provided health insurance and opposed Medicaid expansion. Freitas furthermore supported so-called “catastrophic” health insurance plans that were designed to undermine the ACA and increase premiums. Freitas Cast Multiple Votes Against Expanding Insurance Coverage For The Treatment Of Autism Against Overwhelming Bipartisan Support. Freitas voted against extending mandated health insurance for diagnosis and treatment of autism in two separate legislative sessions, in 2019 and 2020. Freitas Opposed Mandated Insurance Coverage Of Hearing Aids For Minors. Despite the low cost to insurers, Freitas voted against mandated insurance coverage for medically necessary hearing aids for minors. Freitas did not give a reason for his opposition. Freitas Wanted To Allow The State To Rescind Medicaid Benefits After A Spouse’s Death. Freitas was one of the few to vote against a bipartisan effort to prevent the clawback of Medicaid benefits from the state upon the death of an eligible spouse. Freitas Was An Obstructionist Radical Libertarian Who Opposed Common Sense Legislation 2019-2020: Freitas Opposed Over 100 Legislative Initiatives That Enjoyed Bi-Partisan Support. In just two legislative sessions, Freitas opposed over 100 legislative initiatives that enjoyed wide bi-partisan support and that he was in a minority of 10 or less on. Freitas Opposed Common Sense Legislation To Support Virginia Public Safety… Freitas opposed common sense safety regulation, including licensing requirements for manufacturers of smoke detectors and legislation that would require guns in day care providers to be inaccessible to children. …Schools…Freitas opposed safety training for school bus drivers and a school-based mental health task force, both of which enjoyed broad bi-partisan support. …And Farms. Freitas opposed common sense legislation for rural Virginians that enjoyed wide bi-partisan support, including a rural IT apprenticeship program that he was the sole vote against. Nick Freitas Research Book | 4 Freitas Was Beholden To Special Interest Donors And Toed The Party Line Freitas Received A Massive Political Contribution From The Uihlein Family To The Tune Of Half A Million Dollars. During his 2019 reelection campaign to the House of Delegates, Freitas received a massive $500,000 contribution from Richard Uihlein, a Republican megadonor and husband to Uline Corporation President Liz Uihlein. The contribution was used to keep Freitas’ troubled write-in campaign afloat. The Uihleins had a history of contributions to far-rights groups and PACs. Most recently, Liz Uihlein has pressured state legislators, particularly in Illinois, to reopen states prematurely in the face of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Freitas

  • Electric Cooperative Leaders Advocate for Two Key Bills
    January 31, 2019 Virginia General Assembly Electric Cooperative Leaders Advocate for Two Key Bills With skies threatening rain on a cold, blustery day, more than 125 board members, CEOs and employees representing all 13 of Virginia’s electric cooperatives gathered in Richmond this past Tuesday, Jan. 29 for Legislative Day activities sponsored by the Virginia, Maryland & Delaware Association of Electric Cooperatives (VMDAEC). The Legislative Day event is held each year and gives electric cooperative leaders the opportunity to visit their state delegates and senators and discuss pending legislation of interest to VMD member systems. Among pending bills discussed with legislators this year were two of particular interest to Virginia electric cooperatives. One bill is a landmark net-metering Southside Electric Cooperative CEO Jeff Edwards (r), Board compromise developed through the “Rubin Group,” Chairman Frank Bacon (2nd from left) and Board Member Kristie which brings together representatives of utilities and of Martin-Wallace meet with House of Delegates Speaker Kirk Cox renewable energy and environmental interests, in (R-Colonial Heights) on Co-op Legislative Day. particular the solar power industry. This bill would provide our member-consumers with increased access to renewables, while allowing electric cooperatives to better recover and allocate their costs. It’s being sponsored on the Senate side by Sen. Glen Sturtevant (R-Richmond) and on the House side by Del. Tim Hugo (R-Centreville). The other bill is a cooperative regulatory-efficiency bill being sponsored by Sen. Steve Newman (R-Forest), who serves as president pro tempore of the Senate. This bill would provide Virginia cooperatives with a more efficient path to follow when they want to offer voluntary programs that have already been approved by the State Corporation Commission for another cooperative.
