STATEMENT OF HOUSE SPEAKER WILLIAM J. HOWELL AND MAJORITY LEADER THOMAS K. NORMENT, JR.

RICHMOND, VA -  Virginia House of Delegates Speaker William J. Howell and Senate Majority Leader Thomas K. Norment, Jr. issued the following statement  Friday  on the Supreme Court's ruling declaring Governor Terry McAuliffe's executive order restoring the political rights of 206,000 convicted felons as unconstitutional. The full opinion can be found  here .

"The Supreme Court of Virginia delivered a major victory for the Constitution, the rule of law and the Commonwealth of Virginia.  Our nation was founded on the principles of limited government and separation of powers. Those principles have once again withstood assault from the executive branch. This opinion is a sweeping rebuke of the governor's unprecedented assertion of executive authority. We are grateful to the justices of the Supreme Court for their prompt and thorough attention to this case."

The Virginia Senate Republican Caucus is both the legislative and political arm of the twenty-one
Republican Senators representing upwards of four million Virginia citizens in the world's oldest, continuous, freely elected legislative body.

We come from all walks of life - educators, a number of small business owners, insurance and investment advisors, attorneys, and CPAs. And we come from all parts of Virginia - from coal country to the outskirts of Washington, DC to the shores of the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean and everywhere in between.

Virginia's one-term governors come and go, but the legislature remains. The purpose of the Senate Republican Caucus is to:
  • Promote the well being of the Commonwealth and its people.
  • Propagate the principles of the Republican Party of Virginia.
  • Provide leadership and serve as a voice for Republicans in Virginia.
  • Elect and reelect Republicans to the Senate of Virginia.
  • Create a forum whereby Republican Senators can organize, plan, and implement their legislative agenda.

Our operations receive no government or taxpayer funds.  We are fully-self-supporting through member dues and private sector contributions.  Please visit our website www.senators4va.com to learn more about us.
