Chaz Nuttycombe: Which Republicans Are Competing to Face Rep. Abigail Spanberger?

IN THE NEWS:

The General Assembly passed a budget and now it's on Gov. Glenn Youngkin's desk to sign or line-item veto.

1. Gov. Youngkin's proposal to give oil companies a tax holiday is out of gas. Will Republicans find electoral success accusing Democrats of voting against a bill to lower gas prices, or will Democrats win because they blocked hand outs for oil companies?

2. Senate Democrats also rejected an amendment from Governor Youngkin that would have denied state funding for abortions. Specifically, state funds for abortions are limited to extreme cases of rape, incest, or when life of the mother is at risk, and it was limited to low-income people who couldn't otherwise afford these procedures.

3. One of the Governor's amendments pitted Black college students against Brown college students. The idea was to redirect $5 million that would have gone to undocumented students and instead give that money to financial aid for students who go to HBCU's.
