What In The World Is Going On In Richmond

Share This Article:

Your wallet feels lighter. Your commute is longer. Your neighborhood feels less secure. Why? Because Richmond Democrats have turned the General Assembly into a roadblock factory, stopping Governor Youngkin’s commonsense solutions at every turn. They’ve completely lost touch with reality – and you’re paying the price.

The Two Biggest Problems Facing Virginians Today

Rising Costs and Taxes

Inflation continues to hurt family budgets across Virginia. Governor Glenn Youngkin offered a commonsense plan to help by creating permanent car tax relief. This would have let families keep more of their own money—a proposal that even many Democratic voters supported. However, Democrat lawmakers rejected this reasonable approach and instead offered one-time payments that don’t solve the long-term problem, showing just how far they’ve drifted from their constituents’ real needs.


Failing Infrastructure

Fairfax County residents waste countless hours stuck in traffic while our roads crumble and Metro reliability continues to decline. These transportation failures cost our community millions in lost productivity and make it harder for businesses to grow. Yet instead of fixing these critical infrastructure problems that affect everyone’s daily life, the Democrat-controlled legislature is focused elsewhere.

What Virginia Democrats Are Doing Instead

Pushing for a Casino Near Tysons Corner

Senate Bill 982 sponsor Scott Surovell, a Fairfax County resident himself, is betraying his own neighbors by pushing for a massive casino that nobody asked for. The only winners would be Surovell and his wealthy land developer donors. Meanwhile, Fairfax County families would be left dealing with increased crime, addiction, and even worse traffic congestion.

Blocking Real Tax Relief

Governor Youngkin’s plan would have created $1.1 billion in permanent car tax relief for working families. Democrats instead chose to give one-time payments that don’t fix Virginia’s ongoing car tax burden. This shameless move proves that Virginia Democrats would rather play political games than provide real relief to hardworking families struggling to make ends meet.


Changing Virginia’s Constitution on Abortion

Democrat lawmakers are pushing for an extreme constitutional amendment on abortion that goes far beyond what most Virginians—including many moderate Democrats—consider reasonable. This radical proposal would remove widely supported safeguards like parental notification requirements and could force taxpayers to fund abortions, positions that even many pro-choice voters oppose.


Automatically Restoring Felon Voting Rights

Breaking with longstanding bipartisan consensus, Democrat lawmakers now want to automatically restore voting rights to felons immediately upon release, with no requirements to demonstrate rehabilitation or make restitution to victims. This extreme position abandons the common-sense approach that voting rights should be earned back through proven good behavior—a principle that moderate Democrats and Republicans have long agreed upon.


The Time to Act Is Now

There’s only one way to stop this assault on our values and communities: elect conservative leaders who will fight for Fairfax County families in the 2025 House of Delegates elections.

The Fairfax County Republican Party is looking for passionate conservatives who will stand up and fight back. We need candidates who will:

  • Defend our families against government overreach
  • Protect parents’ rights in education
  • Deliver real tax relief to hardworking taxpayers
  • Uphold our traditional values

Don’t wait for someone else to take action. Our community needs YOU. If there isn’t already a conservative candidate running in your district, consider stepping up to run yourself.

Whether you become a candidate, volunteer, or donor, the time to get involved is now. Visit FairfaxGOP.org today to join our fight to take back Virginia. Our children’s future depends on what we do right now.
