Today, I am proud to share that Governor Spanberger has restored the right to vote, hold public office and become a notary to more than 66,000 Virginians since taking office. This is a work that started for me over two decades ago. I started my work as an intern for Senator Yvonne B. Miller-who championed voter restoration long before it was popular. Senator Miller taught me that voting was not only a fundamental right, but also an important part of people's full reintegration into community. I hope we've made her proud today. To those Virginians impacted, we are here to help. Reach out to us today.
