Senate Democrats held a press conference on Wednesday to respond to the list of vetoes and amendments from Governor Youngkin

Brandon Jarvis @Jaaavis

Senate Majority Leader Dick Saslaw said he has worked with 13 governors during his time in the GA. “We have never had one like this before,” Saslaw said. He continued to say that the vetoes from Youngkin were not ideological but instead petty and vindictive

Brandon Jarvis @Jaaavis

“Virginia is not the kind of business that he ran in the business world. It is a commonwealth,” said @SenatorLocke. “These vetoes will deprive Virginians of much needed legislation that would have helped many aspects of life in the commonwealth."

Macaulay Porter @macaulayporter

It is very clear that Democrats have never had to work with a gov like Governor Youngkin. Virginians elected the Governor to bring a fresh perspective and outsider experience to governing. He isn't focused on the Democrat's status quo, he's focused on serving Virginians.
