So, Governor Youngkin decries the loss of 30K jobs with his failure of the GLENDOME but vetoes a minimum wage increase that strengthens households THAT ALREADY HAVE JOBS. Make it make sense. @NAACPVirginia will continue to advocate for a living wage for Virginia's hardest workers

The @NAACPVirginia is outraged by yesterday's batch of vetoes of gun violence prevention bills by Governor Youngkin. These bills can save lives. Virginians, including innocent children, are dying every day at the hands of firearms. We must do more, and we will do more.
