In this edition, I’m excited to share updates on my two bills that aim to improve fairness and transparency in court payments. I also reflect on a Black History Month moment from session, where I spoke about the importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), and the need for us to live out these values throughout the year.

As we wrap up the week, I’m grateful for the opportunity to speak at the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. Lobby Day, standing with advocates for leadership, equity, and empowerment. I’m also proud to support key investments in stormwater infrastructure, Richmond’s water crisis response, and mental health crisis programs.

We’ve reached the halfway point of the 2025 legislative session! I'm excited to share that HB 1660 has passed the House, along with my budget amendment, Item 111 #1h, supporting the Metropolitan Business League's Capital Access Program. I'm looking forward to seeing these bills move through the Senate and continuing our work for shared priorities.
