Jen Kiggans Said Voting On Issues, Including Increasing The Minimum Wage, Made Her Feel Like She Was Legislating In Democratic-Run States Like California And New York

Kiggans Said Voting On Increasing Minimum Wage Made Her Feel Like She Was In New York Or California’s General Assembly. “As the Senate completes its work on legislation filed by its members, you may have noticed that we are debating so much legislation that emulates measures already enacted in California and New York. Whether issuing driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, doubling the minimum wage, forcing non-union members to pay union dues, or imposing strict new gun control measures, I sometimes feel like I am in a General Assembly session in Sacramento or Albany rather than Richmond! Now that the Democrats are in the majority, that party’s most liberal members are driving their legislative agenda.” [Jen for VA Senate via Wayback Machine, Facts From The Floor, 2/11/20]
