A Fairfax post office could be renamed in honor of the late Rep. Connolly under bills introduced in Congress.

The legislation, championed by Rep. Walkinshaw & Sens. Warner & Kaine, would designate 10660 Page Avenue as the Congressman Gerald E. ‘Gerry’ Connolly Post Office Building.

Leading on paid family leave means Virginia wins:

👶Families win by having essential time to care for children.

💼Businesses win because of increased employee retention and productivity.

📈The economy wins because women stay in the workforce and their earnings go back into our economy.
After election, paid family leave approval likely next year
Spanberger told VPM News she'd sign the legislation that Youngkin vetoed.
