We expect that you are receiving a number of requests from localities, constituents, interest groups, and others seeking infrastructure funds for priority projects. We are writing to urge a targeted and well-considered approach to any federal funding for transportation projects in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, particularly any funding for projects involving Interstate 81. The I-81 corridor in Virginia can certainly use improvements, and it has been a focus of concern for local and regional travelers for many years. In the past 15 years, there have been a wide range of proposals to address these concerns—some have been simply awful, while others have been fairly good. The awful ones call for extensive, excessive widening of I-81 regardless of the cost to taxpayers, transportation needs, or impacts on communities, health, and natural and historic resources. Among other things, overbuilding on I-81 would degrade the rural character of the corridor— damaging historic resources and streams and destroying productive farmland, homes and businesses.

  • Virginia Governor Ralph S. Northam
    Virginia Governor Ralph S. Northam Before he was inaugurated as the 73rd Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, Ralph Northam served as an Army doctor, pediatric neurologist, business owner, state Senator and Lieutenant Governor. A native of Virginia’s Eastern Shore, Governor Northam was educated at the Virginia Military Institute (VMI), where he graduated with distinction. After graduation, Governor Northam was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the United States Army. He served eight years of active duty and rose to the rank of major. He attended Eastern Virginia Medical School and then traveled to San Antonio for a pediatric residency, where he met his wife Pamela, a pediatric occupational therapist at the same hospital. Governor Northam did his residencies at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and served as chief neurological resident at Johns Hopkins Hospital. As an Army doctor, he served in Germany, treating soldiers wounded in Operation Desert Storm. When Governor Northam and Pamela returned home, they chose to build their life in Hampton Roads. He began practicing pediatric neurology at Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters in Norfolk. He established Children’s Specialty Group, his current medical practice, to provide expert pediatric care for patients. Governor Northam also served as assistant professor of neurology at Eastern Virginia Medical School, where he taught medicine and ethics. Governor Northam volunteered as medical director for the Edmarc Hospice for Children in Portsmouth, where he spent 18 years caring for terminally ill children. Governor Northam approaches public service with the same passion he brought to his military and medical service.

    May 6, 2020 VIA EMAIL AND UPS The Honorable Ralph S. Northam Governor of Virginia 1000 Bank Street; 3rd Floor Richmond, VA 23218-3673 [email protected] Re: Expanding Certificate-of-Need waivers during COVID-19 pandemic. Dear Governor Northam: We are writing on behalf of the Institute for Justice (IJ)—a national public-interest, civil liberties law firm—to respectfully request you expand Executive Order 52 to suspend Virginia’s certificate-of-need (CON) requirements for any increase in beds or operating capacity, as well as for new health services, like imaging or ambulatory surgeries. In Executive Order 52, you rightly recognize a “need to increase bed capacity in general hospitals and nursing homes within the Commonwealth.”1 As the COVID-19 pandemic has shown, Virginians need access to more care, not less. Suspending CON requirements is commonsense and compassionate. It also demonstrates the bold leadership that Virginians admire and deserve during this unprecedented emergency. For nearly 30 years, IJ has worked to reduce and remove burdensome, unnecessary, and in this case, dangerous, licensing requirements, including in the healthcare field.2 IJ has a particular commitment to removing barriers to opportunities in Virginia, as we moved our headquarters to Arlington in 2006 and most of our colleagues reside here. IJ also drafts legislation and advises legislatures throughout the country on licensing and other regulatory matters. IJ’s mission is to support and protect the right of all Americans to provide for themselves

His opponent, former equity management executive Glenn Youngkin, has a large advantage in the western part of the state and a small edge among independent voters. The sizable Democratic electorate in Northern Virginia offsets this, though, putting McAuliffe ahead in the statewide results. A number of voters say that both the current and prior occupants of the White House will have an impact on their vote for governor, although most of them have already decided on a candidate. The poll also finds tight margins in other statewide contests. Just under half (47%) of registered voters currently support McAuliffe while 42% back Youngkin. Both candidates claim formidable leads among voters who identify with their respective parties, but Youngkin holds an edge (44% to 38%) among independents. More Virginia voters describe themselves as Democrats than Republicans, which accounts for McAuliffe’s lead. McAuliffe has a significant advantage among voters of color – 80% to 8% among Black voters and 58% to 28% among Latinos, Asians, and multiracial voters.
