Upcoming Events fed/state update For too long, we have seen rogue district court judges -- recently, all Obama appointees, trying to preserve Obama-era policies by issuing country-wide injunctions to halt the implementation of laws and policies from the executive and legislative branches of government. In February, Congressman Dave Brat introduced H.R. 4927 to prevent these federal district judges from issuing country-wide injunctions. This legislation is essential to restore the federal separation of powers laid out in the Constitution.

  • Legislative Guide
    2020 Legislative Visit Guide Nursing's Public Policy Platform We seek the following commitments from the Commonwealth on behalf of Virginia’s more than 109,000 registered nurses. Protecting the Title of Nursing Patients and families rightfully expect that health professionals who hold themselves out as a nurse have received the legally required education and training. To ensure this, we must maintain existing protections in the Code of Virginia so that non-nurses are prohibited from using the term “nurse.” Ensure an Educated and Adequate Nursing Workforce By providing tax incentives for healthcare professionals who serve as uncompensated preceptors (hands-on clinical instructors) for APRN (advanced practice registered nurses) students, we can increase access to care, address the primary care shortage, handle mental health crises, and manage chronic diseases. All of these factors are crucial in improving the health and wellness of all Virginians. The incentive would be available for uncompensated preceptors, including APRNs, physicians, and physicians’ assistants. Full Practice Authority for Advanced Practice Registered Nurses The current shortage of primary care physicians and the practice barriers faced by APRNs limit Virginians’ access to health care services. APRNs (nurse practitioners, nurse anesthetists, nurse-midwives, and clinical nurse specialists) have provided safe, high quality, cost effective care in Virginia for more than four decades, and should be enabled to contribute to the healthcare solution by allowing them to practice to their full scope of education, training, and certification. Virginia’s APRNs currently have barriers to practice which include requirements for physician supervision, collaborative or consultative agreements in order to practice, and restrictions on prescribing authority.

  • 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.

  • 2020 VIRGINIA ELECTION REPORT November 4, 2020
    2020 VIRGINIA ELECTION REPORT November 4, 2020 With the General Assembly under Democratic control and the strong desire to provide additional voting options and protection from COVID-19, this year’s election was the first to feature “no-excuse” absentee voting and early in-person voting in Virginia. While it is too early to tell what increase in voter turn-out can be attributed to these additional options, we expect final numbers to show record, or near-record, turnout. What we do know is that Virginia election officials reported 2.75 million of Virginia’s 5.9 million registered voters had already voted prior to election day. Before election day, voter turnout had already reached 69% of 2016 levels. This report was prepared with information available as of 4:00 pm on Wednesday, November 4th, with a few precincts in many of the races not yet reporting and many absentee and early votes not yet counted. The state has until November 16th, to certify all election results. Presidential Election Joe Biden / Kamala Harris (D) – 53.67% – Winner Donald Trump / Mike Pence (R) – 44.46% Joanne (Jo) Jorgeson (I) – 1.46% Virginia was expected to be a safe state for Biden and that clearly held true. Although all the votes have not been counted, Trump has performed very much in line with his 2016 election, capturing 44.43% of the vote. Biden has however, outperformed Clinton, who only captured 49.75% of the vote in 2016. U.S. Senate Mark Warner (D) – 55.65% (incumbent) – Winner Daniel Gade (R) – 44.26% Senator Warner wins a third term in a low-key Senate race that received little attention compared to other states.
