@jonesjay So very sorry to hear this. A great man and a great Virginian. A tremendous legacy of service. My thoughts are with you, Jay, and your family.
Hampton's the first city in Virginia to use a funding mechanism called an environmental impact bond to pay for much-needed flood infrastructure work.
The city broke ground this morning on its Resilient Hampton project.

Money brought in from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative recently began funding efforts to help with flood prevention — but a state board is poised to pull out of the program.

Not sure this Eastern Shoreman can think of a better way to start the day then with @chesapeakebay and our Virginia oyster growers slurping locally grown oysters. I may be biased, but there's nothing better than a salty Shore raw oyster 🦪 #Aquaculture#ESVA#CleanTheBay
General Assembly Members!
Oyster growers from around the Commonwealth are harvesting their oysters for tomorrow’s capitol pop up.
Come out to enjoy some bodacious bivalves, outstanding oysters, & stellar shellfish. VA grows the best oysters & we are happy to show them off.
What a historic day for @NavalNorfolk!
Captain Janet Days assumes duties as Naval Station Norfolk's 51st commanding officer and the first African-American female to lead the world's largest naval base in its 106-year history.
Last week the Youngkin administration discovered that the estimates given by an online tool used to see how much funding each school district can expect to receive from the state were wrong. The error will most directly affect schools in poor, rural areas. https://t.co/O9U3m0mcel
It has been the honor my life to serve the people of Coastal Virginia, support our veterans and military families, defend our democracy, strengthen and grow our Navy, and deliver for Hampton Roads in Congress.
Today, I delivered my final speech on the House floor. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Absolutely heartbroken at the news that @RepMcEachin lost his long-fought battle tonight. Not only was Don McEachin the ultimate public servant and the epitome of true leadership, he was a remarkable friend. I will miss him terribly. Rest easy, Don.
Despite what has been implied, there is no pot of GF money waiting in the wings to replace the hundreds of millions generated through #RGGI to tackle flooding + #sealevelrise. I spent years searching high & low for flood funding. Withdrawing from RGGI would be a huge mistake.
“Withdrawing from [#RGGI]...would be a mistake, especially when we know all too well that the storms are coming and that every dollar spent bolstering resilience is dollar Virginia might avoid spending on recovery.” @virginianpilot https://t.co/UN2xzwtz3Z
