Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s (R) agenda is in rough shape because of the Democratic-controlled Senate, but lawmakers now face the task of hammering out some compromises.
The Republican-controlled House finished work Tuesday on a slate of bills that tighten restrictions on voting, abortion and school curriculums, and support the priorities of new Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin.
Republicans in the House crowed about their record: “It’s a radical concept in politics: politicians doing what they said they’d do when they’re elected. But that’s just what we’ve done in the first half of this 2022 legislative session,” House Majority Leader Terry Kilgore said in a prepared statement.
The pattern holds for several other marquee areas for Youngkin and other parts of the overall Republican agenda:Democrats in the House stretched Monday’s already late floor session past 10 p.m. by staging a protest against HB787, a Youngkin-backed bill that prohibits teachers from teaching “any divisive concept.
Del. Lamont Bagby , head of the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus, said he has been frustrated by what he called a lack of progress on important topics.
