Governor Glenn Youngkin Releases Statement After Senate Democrats Fail to Consider Changes to VMSDEP

RICHMOND, VA - Governor Glenn Youngkin today released the following statement after Senate Democrats failed to consider a simple bill with bipartisan support that would repeal and reverse the VMSDEP waiver changes:

“I stand with our military heroes, first responders, and their families today who are stunned that Senate Democrat leadership failed to even consider a simple bill, supported by a bipartisan majority of Senators, to reverse the changes to VMSDEP by fully repealing the language, and addressing this in the full light of day. These men and women deserve so much better,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin.
