Virginia legislators are required to file conflict of interest forms each year disclosing their ownership of securities, including stock in publicly traded companies. See the companies that were reported in the stock portfolios of at least five General Assembly members this year. https://t.co/QeUQInAMx4

Annual financial disclosures from General Assembly members include the value of their stocks, bonds, retirement funds, and other financial holdings. These reports only require legislators to select a range of values, not a precise dollar amount, so the minimum total value of the stock portfolio is all that can be calculated in some cases. Click on a profile to view the legislator's holdings. https://t.co/QeUQInAMx4

Each year, state legislators must file disclosures of their personal financial holdings that could lead to a potential conflict of interest, such as stock holdings or business ownership. VPAP's latest visualizations show the data in this year's filings by legislators during the 2026 General Assembly session, which cover the previous calendar year. https://t.co/QeUQInAMx4

Conflict of Interest Disclosures: VPAP charts these disclosures with sortable lists by chamber and party. You can click through for more details on each disclosure.

Measures of Wealth: Compare Democratic and Republican state legislators across several measures of wealth.

There are 11 localities that supported Governor Abigail Spanberger in the November 2025 election but opposed the redistricting measure in the April 21 referendum. VPAP charts election results from those localities, as well as 10 others that have switched parties at least once in a statewide election since 2016. https://t.co/QeUQInAMx4

In most of Virginia, voter turnout in the redistricting referendum was down compared to turnout in November 2025. But VPAP’s analysis of localities shows that turnout declined more in Democratic-leaning areas than it did in Republican-leaning ones. https://t.co/iLPMi0dbtE

VPAP compares localities’ votes in the redistricting referendum with the share of the vote won there by Attorney General Jay Jones last fall.

Last year’s election for Attorney General is the closest comparison to the referendum results as the most competitive statewide race on the November 2025 ballot. Jones won 53% of the vote, compared to 55% for Lt. Governor Ghazala Hashmi and 57% for Governor Abigail Spanberger. The redistricting referendum passed with 51%. https://t.co/QeUQInAMx4
