  • Action Alert: Invasive Plants Legislation
    Action Alert: Invasive Plants Legislation By January 8, 2021! Ask your state senators and delegates to support this bill on invasive plants! Original source – Audubon Society of Northern Virginia Contact your legislators now and ask them to vote in favor of this bill, which will help guide Virginia in controlling the sale of invasive plants. This bill will mandate a study that will explore options for phasing out the propagation and sale of invasive plants in Virginia’s horticultural industry, which may include potential legislative action to be brought the following year to the 2022 General Assembly. The study group, which will include representatives from the nursery and landscaping industry, state agencies and environmental groups, will produce a report of their recommendations and findings. This is a big step forward in the fight against invasive plants! Please call or email both of your legislators now and ask them to support the study bill. During this unusually short legislative session, things will move very fast, so do not delay. You should write the state senator and delegate from your own district, but copy all the members of the Senate and House Agriculture, Conservation and Natural Resources Committees (see below). When you contact your legislators please use your own words. Some points you might include: • Our local ecosystem is under serious threat from many quarters. We must stop making the situation worse. • Virginia native plants are the basis of our ecosystem. Invasive introduced plants crowd them out, bringing down trees and ruining our natural areas. • You yourself have seen commonly-sold introduced plants that have escaped into the wild (examples include English Ivy, Japanese Barberry, Japanese Pachysandra, Asian Wisteria, Burning Bush, Chinese Silvergrass, Privet, etc.) • It costs taxpayers large amounts of money to control these invasive species in their parks.

  • November 2015 Virginia General Assembly Election Update
    November 2015 Virginia General Assembly Election Update Prepared by: Williams Mullen Government Relations 2015 Virginia Elections A Statewide Overview On Tuesday, November 3rd , Virginians elected individuals to fill all 140 seats in the Virginia General Assembly. Historically, Virginia has had a limited change in the members of General Assembly as a result of Virginia’s off year election cycle, but partisan redistricting in 2014, a shift in demographics in parts of the state and the retirement of many long serving incumbents, especially in the Senate, created more competitive races in 2015. In the end, despite the spending tens of millions of dollars, Republicans maintained control of the House of Delegates and the Senate, perpetuating the partisan split between the Executive and Legislative branches of government. The House of Delegates Because of their overwhelming existing majority (67 Republican – 33 Democrats), there was no doubt that the Republicans would maintain control of the House of Delegates. Of the 100 seats in the House, there were only eleven seats in which an incumbent was not seeking re-election and in six of those eleven, just a single candidate was running, thus guaranteeing their election. Partisan control of the redistricting process results in the drawing of districts that generally favor most incumbents. Republican control of the last redistricting effort particularly protected Republican incumbents. Democrats won four of the six open seats which were previously held by a Democrat (Delegates Surovell, Krupicka, Preston and Joannou). The two uncontested open seats, previously held by Republicans (Delegates Mark Berg and Ed Scott), were retained by Republicans. Chris Collins, who defeated Delegate Mark Berg in a primary election, will represent House District 29 in the Winchester area and Nick Freitas will succeed Delegate Ed Scott, who did not seek re-election, to represent Culpeper and Orange and Madison counties.
