This week, your hosts Jacki Garry and Victoria Snitsar Churchill took time to provide the audience with an overview of Virginia’s legislative process and review some already introduced bills that they both feel passionately about including HB 2, which is an Assault Weapons Ban, and HB 6 which would provide a path to making permanent daylight savings time in Virginia - with one big caveat.

Your hosts also took time to discuss the news of the week, including the expulsion of Republican Congressman George Santos of New York, Democrat Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania calling for the expulsion of fellow Senate Democrat Bob Menendez of New Jersey, and how all of this news greatly overshadowed the passing of two notable figures in Sandra Day O’Connor and Henry Kissinger.
