One thing is clear: while Virginians struggle to pay $400 more than the national average for life saving medication, pharma executives are getting very very rich.

Support a Prescription Drug Affordability Board in the upcoming 2024 legislative session to lower the cost of medicine for all Virginians. Visit www.freedomva.org/pdab for more information.

Walter Latham Jr., the general registrar and director of elections for York County provided some context Thursday morning on how the process will look in his area.
