Current League Action and Advocacy

The League is supporting Senate Bill 926 which passed by the full state Senate on a 39 to 0 vote. It gained even more support than last year.

LWV-VA President, Olga Hernandez, represented the League at a Press Conference held by the Governor in the Capitol to highlight the bill as it now goes to the House.

Please contact your members of the House of Delegates and urge them to vote in support of Redistricting reform. See the House of Delegates website for details on how to contact any member. Click here for a list of members of the Privileges & Elections Committee
