Three years ago today, the #VALeg passed The Virginia Clean Economy Act, which I carried with @RipSullivan48. We made Virginia the first state in the South to adopt a 100% clean energy standard, going from the back of the pack for clean energy to a national leader.

January's E-Cycling Event was a hit! ♻ Our team collected 12,950 lbs. of e-waste, 2,915 lbs. of hazardous household waste, 3,420 lbs. of standard recyclables, and 750 lbs. of miscellaneous items. Thank you to everyone who dropped stuff off, as well as our staff and volunteers!

I should be enjoying my day off. Instead I am debating with someone via email about whether our warmer winters in Richmond are caused by global warming.
There’s no question the answer is yes, our winters are warmer than in 1970 due to global warming. climate.nasa.gov/evidence.am…

Tonight, I spoke on the floor in support of my amendment to BLOCK oil and gas drilling off the Virginia coast.
Drilling along our coast would pose a grave threat to our economy, our natural resources, the Bay, and America's military infrastructure.
