WHAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED TOGETHER. VIRGINIA ATTORNEY GENERAL MARK HERRING.

David, In 2013 we celebrated an incredible victory. It took thousands of phone calls and doors knocked (and came down to only 907 votes!), but we won and made history – together. Our victory was born out of a promise to make progress for all Virginians, and Mark is off to a great start: 1) Just 12 days into office, Mark had to act on the lawsuit challenging Virginia’s same-sex marriage ban. The answer was clear – the ban violates the U.S. Constitution. Two federal courts agreed, and in October, couples across Virginia could finally marry: 2) When outside states as far away as Alaska attacked efforts to clean up the Chesapeake Bay, Mark entered the fight by filing a brief with the court to fight for our restoration plan for the Bay. 3) Because every college student deserves to be safe and feel safe on campus, Mark is chairing the Governor’s Task Force on Combating Campus Sexual Violence. The Task Force is working on solutions to help Virginia colleges end sexual assault on their campuses and will deliver its recommendations in June. 4) Attending a Virginia college became more affordable for thousands of young DREAMers when Mark announced that some immigrants brought to the country as young children were eligible for in-state tuition: 5) Mark is taking on payday and car title lenders when they are exploiting families and trapping them in a cycle of debt. 6) He is working with law enforcement across the state to keep our neighborhoods and communities safe by responding to emerging public safety threats, like heroin and prescription drug abuse, human trafficking, and gun and gang violence.  And after all that, we’re looking forward to the rest of 2016 and another year of moving Virginia forward... – Team Herring Contribute Contribute Paid for by One Commonwealth PAC
