Voters were pressed to show up on Special Election Day, January 6. The winter weather was lousy. And when the votes were counted, Kathleen Murphy emerged victorious over her phantom opponent, Greg Parisot. When the Virginia House of Delegates convenes for session on January 14, Kathleen Murphy will become the newest Democratic Delegate to represent a former Republican district in Fairfax Coun- ty. She fills the unexpired term of Barbara Comstock, who resigned from the 34th House District seat and won Frank Wolf's seat in the U.S. Congress. Kathleen will represent the district in the Vir- ginia General Assembly, encompassing areas of McLean, Great Falls, and Eastern Loudoun County. In Fairfax County, Democrats have a good record of winning Special Elections. Having a deep bench gives us an advantage when a vacancy must be filled on short notice. A compressed time frame for campaigns to get their voters to the polls poses another significant challenge. Comstock resigned around Thanksgiving, and the Speaker of the House (Republican Bill Howell) set the Special Election for January 6, allowing only the month of December for campaign- ing. We knew before all the votes were counted that our candidate, Kath- leen Murphy, had a modest lead in absentee votes. Volunteers from around the county showed up and knocked doors, entered data, filled the phone lines, and supported an admirable field operation of paid staff. Kathleen ran an outstanding race that led to her Special Election victo- Fellow Northern Virginia Democratic delegates congratulate ry. Democrats everywhere can be their newest caucus member.

Kathleen’s message was positive and emphasized the values Democrats embrace, including sensible gun controls, a woman’s right to choose, compassion for the poor, ex- pansion of Medicaid, and a fair shake for working Virginians. In electing Kathleen Murphy, the vot- ers of the 34th House District made the smarter choice. Congratulations, Kathleen, and best wishes in Richmond.

  • 2020 VPAP Annual Report
    Staying Nimble FINDING NEW WAYS TO ELEVATE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING Top of the News 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Ballot ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Letter from the Board Chair On many levels, 2020 was both historic and humbling. A global pandemic and economic crisis. Social unrest and calls for racial justice. Political extremism and democracy under siege. Any one of these topics would be enough to contend with in a normal year, but at once 2020 brought many issues into plain sight. What we learned last year is that at a time of uncertainty and upheaval, the public’s hunger for reliable news and information grows exponentially. The STAFF challenge for the Virginia Public Access Project was to meet that demand, while adapting to remote work and rethinking nearly every aspect of our operation. David M. Poole Executive Director We enhanced VaNews to add “Top of the News” for those who value a quick summary of headlines. We developed a COVID-19 dashboard to make it easy Ric Arenstein to track coronavirus cases and deaths as reported by the Virginia Department Major Gifts Officer of Health. And we modified our traditional election night coverage to account for early voting and delayed returns. Rachel Dominy Graphic Design and I am proud of the many ways, large and small, the VPAP team seized Communications Manager opportunity and adapted during such a challenging year. You will find a few of those instances outlined in this annual report. Jason Kostyk Data Developer All of this success was made possible by the encouragement and support of our nearly 1,500 donors.

State Corporation Commission, Ex Parte: Temporary Suspension of Tariff Requirements Case No. PUR-2020-00048 Dear Commissioner Christie: We greatly appreciate the State Corporation Commission’s continued efforts to protect Virginia consumers during the economic crisis caused by the Coronavirus pandemic (“COVID- 19”). Please accept this informatory letter in response to issues and questions raised in the Commission’s May 26 Order in the referenced docket. In its Order, the Commission asserted that the current moratorium on utility service disconnections for nonpayment “is not sustainable” and could result in costs being “unfairly shifted to other customers.” The Order also suggested that this moratorium could have “negative impacts on small, less-capitalized utilities and member-owned electric cooperatives,” which “could impact vital services to all customers of such utilities.” The Commission requested comment regarding whether the current moratorium should be continued, and if so, for how long.
