The Legislative Rundown: 02/01/2026

Week of 02/01/2026


Dear Virginian,

Welcome to our 2026 Legislative Rundown. The General Assembly is barely underway, and it’s already clear this will be one of the most consequential—and contentious—sessions in recent memory. With a Democrat trifecta in Richmond, the one-party rule at the General Assembly is wasting no time advancing tax increases, expanding government, and testing the limits of individual liberty.

That’s exactly why engagement matters now more than ever. To help Virginians push back effectively, we’ve built FORGE—an exclusive advocacy platform that gives citizens a direct, coordinated way to speak up on legislation through social media, the press, and direct outreach to lawmakers.

FORGE takes just 15 minutes a week, and hundreds of liberty-minded Virginians have already joined to amplify their voices where it counts. If you’re ready to be part of a focused, disciplined effort to defend freedom in the Commonwealth, we invite you to join them.

Below are just a few of the bills this session that FORGE users are already engaging on.


Please reach out to your legislators NOW and share your position! 


ACTION ALERT- SUPPORT Healthcare bills HB1201 and HB1337.

HB1201 would make it easier for independent surgery centers to open. HB1337 also aims to fast-track approvals for facilities in “medical deserts” within the state.


ACTION ALERT- OPPOSE HB28SB52SB57SB176 &SB322

SB57 would force Virginia into the notoriously controversial “ERIC” election program; SB52 and HB28 would prevent ineligible voters being removed from rolls within 90 days of an election. SB176 would create and enforce a widely unpopular and shockingly unfair ranked-choice voting system within our state, while SB322 would push Virginia into the National Popular Vote compact aimed at circumventing the Electoral Colleges.


ACTION ALERT- OPPOSE HB21

HB21 seeks to hold firearms manufacturers and distributors legally responsible if a purchaser misuses one of their firearms.


ACTION ALERT- OPPOSE HB188HB378, and HB978

HB188, HB378, and HB978 would create up to 50 new tax increases on everyday services and goods in Virginia.
