Welcome to my online constituent office. We hope you will find this website to be a useful one-stop portal for any needs you might have from the Virginia state government. We have included information to help you better understand how our government works.

You can also keep up with the policy-making process in the General Assembly during the weeks that I am working in Richmond by reading my blogs and Twitter updates.

As your State Delegate, I’m here to serve you so please contact me with any questions or services you need. I am particularly interested in hearing about ways to make our laws work better for all of us so please do not hesitate to send me policy ideas that I may be able to propose in Richmond. I am honored to represent you and I look forward to meeting you in person.

Thank you,

Keam-Poindexter Green Jobs bill heads to Governor McDonnell

House Bill 803, as amended by the House-Senate conference committee, now heads to Governor McDonnell’s desk for his signature after the House voted unanimously to adopt the conference report.

As described in previous entries, this is the Green Jobs bill that Delegates Keam and Poindexter worked on all session long. This is also the first bill where Delegate Keam was appointed as a conferee to negotiate the final conference report. He was proud to put his signature on the report that was presented to the House for its approval today.

To follow the long procedural history of this bill (affectionately known in legislative process as the “art of sausage-making”), click here: http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?101+sum+HB803

Once Governor McDonnell signs this into law (which he is anxious to do since this bill is part of his Jobs Agenda), we can finally turn the entire Commonwealth into a Green Jobs Zone!
