This fall, voters can cast their ballots for Virginia to no longer strip so many of our neighbors of their fundamental rights — a shameful relic of our Jim Crow past.
How will this merger potentially really ensure that Virginia is working towards our renewable energy goals, but also that as we are continuing to expand our generation that we are doing so in a way that is sustainable and affordable?
In the wake of (the Department of Government Efficiency’s) slashing of our federal workforce, Virginia continued to lose jobs in FY26.
