  • MHAG Equality Agenda
    MARK HERRING AN EQUALITY AGENDA ark Herring believes that all Virginians deserve equal protection under the law. As Attorney General, Mark will be committed to protecting civil rights and will use the powers of the office to promote Mequality. This is particularly important because Virginia’s human rights agency is now a division of the Office of the Attorney General. Mark will take politics out of the Attorney General’s office, put the law first and pursue an “Equality Agenda” that consists of the following: 1 PROHIBITING DISCRIMINATION IN STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT Mark will use the power of the Attorney General to support initiatives to protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Virginians from discrimination and disparate treatment in state and local agencies and programs. He will reverse the opinion issued by then Attorney General Bob McDonnell that says the Governor does not have the authority to issue an executive order protecting LGBT workers in state government from discrimination. Mark believes that the Governor, as chief personnel officer, clearly has this power as exercised by both Governors Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, and he will issue an opinion that confirms that the new Governor is authorized by law to offer the protection of an executive order to all state employees. Mark will adopt a nondiscrimination policy for the Office of Attorney General that protects all employees from discrimination and includes sexual orientation and gender identity. As a member of the State Senate, Mark has co-sponsored legislation that would codify protections against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity for all public workers.

Government shutdownMaximum couldof 5 emails affect allowed. Virginia race By JAMES HOHMANN | 9/29/13 1:17 PM EDT Message A federal government shutdown could be the October surprise of the Virginia governor’s race. Democrat Terry McAuliffe tried Sunday to inject the looming possibility into the campaign, appearing at an afternoon press conference in Arlington with two liberal Democratic congressmen, Jim Moran and Gerry Connolly, to call on Republican Ken Cuccinelli “to condemn tea party Republicans for holding the federal budget hostage.” But Cuccinelli already distanced himself from congressional Republicans in a debate last week, stressing that he does not want a shutdown (http://www.politico.com/story/2013/09/ken-cuccinelli-terry- mcauliffe-debate-97374.html) . The McAuliffe campaign believes it can, nonetheless, score points in vote-rich Northern Virginia, chock full of federal workers who would be directly affected by a shutdown at midnight on Monday. They note that the Cuccinelli campaign has been in touch with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), the symbol of brinkmanship over Obamacare, about appearing at a joint rally in October. And Cuccinelli is closely identified with the tea party wave that has propelled the showdown.

Following notice-and-comment rulemaking, the United States Department of Home- land Security (DHS) promulgated a final rule interpret- ing the statutory term “public charge” and establishing a framework by which DHS personnel are to assess whether an alien is likely to become a public charge. The questions presented are: 1. Whether entities that are not subject to the public-charge ground of inadmissibility contained in 8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(4)(A), and which seek to expand bene- fits usage by aliens who are potentially subject to that provision, are proper parties to challenge the final rule.
