Gov. Spanberger addresses ICE, misinformation, and her Virginia poll numbers
Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger defended her administration's policies and approach Wednesday during a question-and-answer session at Capital Square. She addressed Virginia's budget negotiations, immigration enforcement and her approval ratings.
Spanberger said she has signed hundreds of bills in recent days, with many new laws addressing student and school safety as well as the high cost of housing, healthcare and utilities.
She has called a special session for April 23 to finalize the commonwealth's budget.
Spanberger described ongoing budget negotiations between House and Senate Democrats as challenging but progressing toward the April 23 special session deadline.
Spanberger also pushed back against characterizations of Virginia as a "sanctuary state." She said her executive orders on immigration enforcement maintain levels of cooperation between Virginia State Police and federal immigration officials.
