Abigail Spanberger

Spanberger said states should do more to regulate A.I. data centers and address their effects on air and noise pollution, energy prices, and nearby communities. Her remarks focused on balancing technology growth with consumer and environmental protections in Virginia.

Virginia's governor's office said Spanberger's administration restored the right to vote for 66,085 formerly incarcerated Virginians since she took office in January. The announcement highlighted one of the administration's early criminal justice actions.

Spanberger's administration reported that April revenues grew 6.9 percent compared with the previous April. The update was part of her early-term focus on the state's fiscal outlook and budget management.

Spanberger signed a series of bills addressing high healthcare, housing, and energy costs for Virginia families. The administration said the legislation was intended to improve affordability across the Commonwealth.
