Members of both parties have rallied to mourn the loss of an important legislator as a family member readies for the special election.

“These documents are to be protected and defended.”

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin was cornered by the media for a response to former President Donald Trump's Friday post.

“And so listen, it was a personal note and it was one between me and the speaker, just to reflect those sentiments.”

“This law is telling you do not abuse your children because they are LGBTQ.”

“Democrats did not question the actual counting of ballots in 2016, as Youngkin’s statement implies, or that Trump won the election.”

“Freedom matters in Virginia.”

'What these parades and picket lines and demonstrators are trying to do is influence and intimate our justices,' Gov. Glenn Youngkin said.

The new law is not out of the woods.

“Today we are reestablishing and restoring power back to parents.”

“The Governor and I are pleased with today’s ruling.”

“Governor, where is your mask?”

“He was running as a different kind of Republican.”

“The will of Virginians was clear: Parents should have a say in education.”

“Who does the president thinks knows best for students: School board members or parents?”

“Without today’s action, school boards are placed in a legally untenable position.”

Youngkin promised to end 'the use of divisive concepts, including Critical Race Theory, in public education.'

'We absolutely have to recognize what the left liberals do here is try to obfuscate this issue,' Youngkin told Fox News.

Virginia's new governor had a lot on the agenda for his first day in office, from education policy to the Department of Motor Vehicles.

“Do you believe the House Democrats are in any way partially responsible for what happened Tuesday?”
