  • Dirty Needle Exchange Programs Work to Reduce Harm
    DRAFT-RF 08/11/2017 Issue: Opioid Crisis and Medicaid Expansion Dirty Needle Exchange Programs Work to Reduce Harm. Republicans don’t support legislation connecting people to addiction treatment. Governor McAuliffe has declared the opioid addiction crisis a public health emergency in Virginia. In early 2017, he worked with Democrats and Republicans alike to pass a bill to reduce the damage of the epidemic by helping people find treatment. Bill HB 2317 allows local health departments to administer harm reduction programs in parts of the state with high rates of HIV and hepatitis. These programs will exchange dirty syringes for clean ones, offer testing for hepatitis C and HIV, and connect people to addiction treatment. Republican delegates, Bob Marshall (HD13), James LeMunyon (HD67), Randy Minchew (HD10), and a slew of other Republicans voted against the bill. Republican delegate, Tag Greason (HD 32) refused to support the bill and didn’t bother voting. The Republican majority in the House of Delegates also prevented the expansion of Medicaid, denying 400,000 eligible Virginians access to Substance Abuse Services. It’s time to vote for Democrats to reverse these heartless policies and start putting in place effective programs like these and Medicaid Expansion to help people get treatment. Vote For these Opioid Epidemic Legislation HD Locality HB 2317 Democrats instead Mark Dudenhefer (not running) HD2 DC Metro No Jennifer Foy Randy Minchew HD10 DC Metro No Wendy Gooditis Joseph R Yost HD12 SW VA Yes Chris Hurst Robert G Marshall HD13 DC

  • The Legislative Report Card
    The Legislative 2013 Report Card The Legislative Report Card recognizes legislators for their support on initiatives that will help move Virginia forward, and additionally provides analysis of a legislator’s support for the business community’s priorities. The Virginia Chamber of Commerce annually develops a proactive Legislative Agenda outlining the priorities and expectations of Virginia’s business community. This agenda also provides legislators with a clear understanding of the business community’s legislative priorities. During the 2013 session, almost 2600 bills were introduced in the General Assembly. The Virginia Chamber of Commerce was active and involved in many bills, and provided legislators with a weekly “Bills We’re Watching” report delineating the Chamber’s position on bills of interest to the business community. At the conclusion of the session, legislators’ voting records on these bills were recorded and calculated. The Legislative Report Card recognizes legislators for their support on initiatives that will help move Virginia forward, and additionally provides analysis of a legislator’s support for the business community’s priorities. With the help of Virginia’s pro-business legislators, the Virginia Chamber of Commerce was successful on 90% of its Legislative Priorities during the 2013 session and saved Virginia employers billions of dollars. The Virginia Chamber’s 2013 Legislator of the Year Award is the business community’s premier legislative award honoring the lawmaker who demonstrates outstanding leadership on pro- 2013 business issues.
