DPVA Chair Statement on VA Republicans Abdication of Duty

RICHMOND, VA – DPVA Chairwoman Susan Swecker gave the following statement after General Assembly Republicans adjourned today's Gun Violence Prevention Special Session with no recorded votes. 

"Republican Senators and Delegates showed today they are cowards who could give a damn about keeping Virginians safe from gun violence. They ran away from their jobs at a time when Virginians needed them most. 

We will make sure on November 5th that their 90 minutes on the floor today are their last 90 minutes in the majority."
