ANTI-IMMIGRANT BILLS Republican Delegates Consistently

IMMIGRATION Virginia’s Republican delegates passed two bills in 2017 that are hostile to immigrants and sow division in our communities. Prohibits localities from adopting sanctuary policies with regard to immigration (HB2000) This legislation sends a hostile message to immigrant communities. The Constitution already prevents state government from overriding federal immigration laws. Bill Co-Patron: Jackson Miller. Passed by Republicans. VETOED by Governor. Prohibits the release of individuals suspected of violating immigration laws (HB1468) The law could cause confusion between Virginia law enforcement and their federal counterparts, which currently work closely together regarding immigrants. It also conveys an anti-immigrant message. Bill Co-Patrons: Bob Marshall and John O’Bannon. Passed by Republicans. VETOED by Governor. Requires Department of Social Services to publish a report on each individual refugee who resettles in Virginia (HB2002) Disclosing information about refugees threatens our newest Virginians and sends a message of exclusion. Refugees are already vetted more than anyone else let into the US. Passed by Republicans. VETOED by Governor.

New Legislator Bios
New Legislator Bios HD 2: Jennifer Carroll Foy -D (Dudenhefer) I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you my story because I think you deserve to know more about me and what I believe. When I was growing up, my grandfather always said, “If you have it, you have to give it.” Those words stuck with me when I was at VMI; they were the reason I served as a foster parent; and they are a guiding principle I live by as a public defender. Giving back has been, and must continue to be, the foundation of Virginia. That is why I’ve made it my life’s work. When I was at Virginia Military Institute (VMI), I knew I had to defy the odds and graduate in order to have the opportunity to give back. I enrolled in the third class of female cadets to attend the historically all-male college. On my first day, they shaved my head and said, “Welcome to VMI.” My best male friend bet me a dollar that I wouldn’t last a year. Well, I won that bet and graduated with a degree in English. I know the deck seems stacked against us. Washington is a mess and politicians prefer gridlock over results. But every time I look my kids in the eyes, or walk into work as a public defender, I know we have to fight toward a fairer, stronger, and more just Virginia. I’m running for delegate to continue to give back to the community that has given me so much.

This bill Weakens State Corporation Commission oversight Rapidly expands renewable energy projects and abandon cheaper fossil fuels Returns only a portion of excess profits Dominion Energy had already received and allows Dominion Energy to keep future excess profits if they are invested in favored renewable energy projects Until passage of an amendment (opposed by 41 Republican delegates) utilities were allowed to be paid twice for the same investments.

Medicaid Expansion
MEDICAID EXPANSION ! The Republican’s party-line vote to block Medicaid Expansion has left nearly 400,000 Virginia residents uninsured who would qualify for coverage under the ACA. Their obstruction: ! Forfeited $10.4 billion in federal funding — the ACA pays for 90-100% of the new costs incurred by states that expand Medicaid. ! Left Virginia's taxpayers to foot the bill — costs $157 million in VA’s state budget each year, plus $1.1 billion spent on ER visits for those who could have been covered. These dollars could be spent on other urgent healthcare needs such as substance abuse and mental health treatment. ! Defied common sense — 31 states have expanded Medicaid coverage and utilized these federal funds to drastically reduced the number of uninsured people in their states.
