A Note from Amanda
As the representative of the 71st District of the Virginia House of Delegates, I look forward to the privilege of continuing to serve constituents during my third two-year term. This year’s “short” legislative session is constitutionally mandated to last for thirty days; however, the duration is traditionally extended to forty-six days to allow more time for completion of legislative work. The General Assembly is scheduled to convene on January 8. During the following six weeks, House and Senate members will consider thousands of bills. More importantly, the General Assembly will amend and pass the biennial budget to establish spending and revenue priorities for the final year of the budget.
Constituent input is important to me, and I ask you to take a moment to complete my online survey. I will work diligently to provide timely updates about legislation that comes before the General Assembly during the 2025 session, and I hope you will sign up to receive my weekly e-newsletter. If you have questions about legislation or budget items, please email [email protected].
Additionally, if you ever require assistance with a state-related matter or agency, please do not hesitate to contact my office. Although our district office in Norge is closed during the legislative session, our Richmond office is open. We provide year-round support with Virginia agencies including the Virginia Employment Commission, Department of Motor Vehicles, the Department of Taxation, and the Department of Transportation. Again, thank you for allowing me the privilege of serving you in Virginia’s General Assembly. My door is always open, and I look forward to hearing from you during the upcoming weeks and years.
