Although this Voting Record does not reflect all elements considered by a lawmaker when voting or represent a complete profile of a legislator, it can be a guide in evaluating your legislator’s attitude toward small business. Note that many issues that affect small business are addressed in committees and never make it to a floor vote in the House or Senate.

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.
