Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73
I’m proposing to increase the minimum wage in Virginia starting May 1, 2021, go to $11 on January 1, 2022, and to $12 in January 2023. This will support working Virginians and help our economy rebound as quickly as possible from #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73
I’ve signed nearly two dozen pro-worker laws, including measures to combat worker misclassification and wage theft, ban workplace discrimination, and prohibit non-compete contracts for low-wage workers. https://t.co/HHXCY7ki83 — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73
This new law will advance environmental justice and create clean energy jobs in Virginia, proving that a clean environment and a strong economy can go hand-in-hand. I'm proud to sign this legislation––RGGI will be next! https://t.co/MGWJwVUp33 — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73
I just signed the Clean Economy Act, which makes Virginia the first southern state with a 100% clean energy standard. We will continue to lead in the fight against climate change. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73
I have signed legislation that repeals Virginia’s voter ID law, makes Election Day a state holiday, and expands access to early voting. Voting is a fundamental right––these laws strengthen our democracy by making it easier to cast a ballot, not harder. https://t.co/Uvaocr1pHH — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73
Every Virginian deserves access to a fair and equitable criminal justice system––these bills combat mass incarceration, increase support for returning citizens, and ensure that those who have paid their debt to society have a meaningful second chance. https://t.co/unQRbdPqwH — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73
As we decriminalize simple possession of marijuana and seal the records of prior convictions, I am proposing a study to assess the impact of fully legalizing marijuana in the Commonwealth. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73
I have signed bold new laws to reform criminal justice in Virginia, including measures to raise the felony larceny threshold, permanently eliminate driver’s license suspensions for unpaid court fines and fees, raise the age of juvenile transfer to adult court, and reform parole. — PolitiTweet.org

.@FirstLadyVA and I wish Virginians across the Commonwealth a happy and blessed #Easter. May we continue to hold on to our faith during these challenging times, and draw strength from our shared resolve to overcome this health crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Tomorrow is #Easter, which is normally a time when families and faith communities come together to celebrate––but these are not normal times. Social distancing only works if we keep doing it. Let's all continue to stay home and stay safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Racial discrimination is rooted in many of the choices about who and what to honor in Virginia, and in many of the laws that have historically governed this Commonwealth. That version of history has been given prominence and authority for far too long. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73
I am proud to sign new laws that repeal discriminatory language from Virginia’s books, give localities control over Confederate monuments in their communities, and begin the process of replacing Virginia’s statue of Robert E. Lee in the U.S. Capitol. https://t.co/MbMo7F85MV — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73
Today, I signed the Virginia Values Act, making Virginia the first Southern state to enact comprehensive non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people––and sending a strong, clear message that this is an inclusive Commonwealth where all are welcome. https://t.co/2ppfc627lA — PolitiTweet.org

We have signed up 13,000 people with the Virginia Medical Reserve Corps, but we need more. We're recruiting medical volunteers—specifically nurses, nurse practitioners, and nursing students—and non-medical volunteers for support roles. To volunteer, visit https://t.co/2NBTrsGWxZ. — PolitiTweet.org

.@vaemploy will begin distributing this money next week, so Virginians who have not filed an initial claim are encouraged to call 1-800-897-5630 or visit https://t.co/pykan0aAHq. We'll continue doing everything we can to support the volume of unemployment claims we’re receiving. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73
Independent contractors, gig workers, and self-employed people who previously didn't qualify can start applying for benefits on Monday, April 13. @vaemploy will reach out to the nearly 75,000 Virginia workers who were previously denied benefits, so they don't need to reapply. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73
Next week, we will launch the federal Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program, which will provide an additional $600 to Virginians who have filed for unemployment benefits. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73
Between now and then, @VADOC will do the work of planning how these individuals can be safely released. These individuals must not be a threat to public safety. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73
I also announced a proposal to give @VADOC the authority to release offenders who have one year or less left in their sentences—the General Assembly will vote on this when they return for the reconvened session on April 22. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73
