Legislative Update
Senator Mark Obenshain wants to hear from you
2020 is here and we in the General Assembly are once again starting our legislative session in Richmond.
As I hear, debate and vote on bills the next 60 days, I promise to stand for the principles that we all share. I ran for reelection this past year and was honored to be chosen again to represent you. These principles on which I ran are of limited constitutional government and individual liberty – including the protection of our Second Amendment rights.
An important part of being your representative is listening. That’s why I am asking that you fill out this survey to share your opinion on some issues that we are likely to face in the upcoming session. I want to hear from you as I highly value what my constituents are concerned about and always seek to be readily available to your needs and concerns.
There are some very important pieces of legislation dealing with the state of our Commonwealth with respect to our current taxes, our Second Amendment rights, casinos and gambling, and our healthcare system.
These issues are complex but critically important to problems facing our community today.
Please fill out this survey to let me know your opinions on these important issues.
Mark Obenshain
