A note about our Constituent Services: There have been some frustrations expressed with our requirement that you let us know if you are a resident of the 85th District when you communicate with my office. While I understand that concerns and issues often do not have the same borders as districts, my primary commitment is to the people I serve and then I will do as much as I can for others.

Historic display of racial, gender diversity marks the start of 2024 General Assembly session

In a state that once intentionally sought to disenfranchise Black voters, Black lawmakers now run both committees dealing with voting and election issues. Sen. Aaron Rouse, D-Virginia Beach, is leading the Senate Privileges and Elections Committee. On the House side, Del. Marcia Price, D-Newport News, who has championed a state-level voting rights law, is chairing the elections committee. “On this historic day as we will witness many firsts in leadership in both chambers, it reminds us how far we have come and what we have to celebrate,” Price said. “The House and the Senate will look more like Virginia this year. And we all know that representation matters."

Price Named Chairwoman of House Privileges and Elections Committee

The following press release was sent today from the Virginia House Democratic Caucus:  

December 5, 2023, FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, Contact: Morgan Hopkins, 

DELEGATE MARCIA “CIA” PRICE NAMED CHAIRWOMAN OF HOUSE PRIVILEGES AND ELECTIONS COMMITTEE

RICHMOND, VA – Today, Speaker-designee Don Scott announced he has selected Delegate Marcia “Cia” Price to chair the House Privileges and Elections Committee in the 2024 General Assembly Session. Delegate Price will be the first Black woman to chair the committee. In 2021, Price carried HB 1890, the Voting Rights Act of Virginia, which expanded and protected voting rights for people across the Commonwealth. 

The Privileges and Committee is the longest continuously running committee in the nation’s oldest Legislature. 

Speaker-designee Don Scott, “Delegate Price has had an immeasurable impact on voting rights in the Commonwealth of Virginia and I cannot think of anyone better suited to chair the Privileges and Elections committee. Her past work has only been a preview of what is to come from the Committee and I cannot wait to see what they do to continue to protect the enfranchisement of every eligible Virginian.” 

“I am humbled by the faith that Speaker-designee Scott has now placed in me to lead this committee as we reaffirm our commitment to protecting our democracy,” said Delegate Cia Price. “All my life, I have been passionate about protecting our democracy and was proud to lead the fight for the Voting Rights Act of Virginia. The gravity of this moment is not lost on me and I carry it with me into the work to stand firm in the face of those who seek to undermine our voting rights and sabotage our elections. Virginia has become a bastion of democracy in the South, and no amount of disinformation or intimidation will stop the committee’s work from protecting voting rights.”
