Update Week 7: Vote Trump/ Good Booted Viral Video/ Legislation/ Pro Life Day/ Other

I'm Running for Congress to "Save America"

Christian Conservative
Trump Store Grand Opening Farmville, VA
Bob Good lost my support when he attacked Trump and disrespected constituents in VA 05. I am answering the call from folks all across the district. We can do better than Good!

We were invited to attend the 5th District Trump Store Grand Opening last Saturday in Farmville, VA. They set us up with a table to get signatures for my petition to run for Congress!

My opponent was told not to show up by the owner, but he showed up anyway and had a really bad week. He foolishly posted a video showing his disrespectful behavior and it went viral.


2024 Session Update Week 7
The General Assembly convened on January 10th. I am working hard with Governor Glenn Youngkin, Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears, and fellow legislators to make Virginia the best place to live, work, and raise a family. There are so many threats to Virginia: skyrocketing costs, the mess in our schools, the fentanyl streaming across the border. Will the Democrats help us solve these problems?

We have 15 days left in session. Then I will be able to devote my attention to my campaign for Congress. We can do better than Good.

Here is some of what is on my mind and what we have been up to:
2ND Amendment "Shall Not Be Infringed"
I continue to speak up for and defend Virginia citizens’ gun rights on the Senate floor. This family heard me defending our second amendment on the senate floor, thanked me, and asked for a photo.


SB 222 Cyber Security Passes the House Appropriations
My bill SB 222 on cyber security is making its way through the house. With cyber security threats on the rise, it is imperative we take action to secure our Commonwealth’s infrastructure. 
SB 630 Dispatchers/ First Responders Passes the House Public Safety Committee
My bill SB 630 to add law enforcement Dispatchers, including State Police Dispatchers, to the category of First Responders is making its way through the House. Click here to learn why this is so important.
SB 603 Priority Treatment Jailed Pregnant and Women Passes the House Committee on Studies
My bill SB 603 will give incarcerated pregnant women preferential treatment for drug rehab programs. I have visited the women's jail in Goochland County and I've heard reports around the district about the challenges faced by pregnant women in jail to attend drug rehab programs. Incarcerated pregnant women (those held in federal or state prisons, jails, or juvenile detention facilities) make up one of the most vulnerable segments of society, with higher rates of mental illness, drug addiction, and histories of trauma than incarcerated men. This bill will create a work group to find answers on how to help rehabilitate young and not so young women with the triple threat of being incarcerated, being pregnant, and being addicted.

Hunting Dog Permit Language Removed from Budget
Virginia Pro Life Day
Pro-life advocates, including constituents from my district, visited my office on Wednesday morning to pray and discuss our efforts to protect our most vulnerable. I, along with fellow legislators, visited the rally at the Bell Tower before heading to caucus. Speakers at the rally included Victoria Cobb, President of the Family Foundation and Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earl-Sears. Governor Youngkin walked in front of the March for Life. In session, I had the honor of introducing these advocates and their important mission on the Senate floor. Life is a miracle and must be protected!
Hanover Patriots, GOP Chair Candidate Ryan Martin
After session Thursday, I attended the Hanover GOP Candidate Forum hosted by my friends at the Hanover Patriots. Ryan Martin delivered solid remarks on how he is a servant leader and will work hard to unite and grow the party as the next Hanover GOP Chair. Go get em, Ryan!

Don't Forget to Vote Trump
Don't forget early voting for Trump ends soon so GO VOTE! Find specific info about your polling place here.
I'm running for Congress because the enemy isn't at the gate -- the enemy is THROUGH the gate and in our communities. Open borders, fentanyl, lawlessness, out of control spending, and more. Our country is in big trouble. I am running to represent the people of the 5th Congressional District because I am a conservative with a record of building teams to solve problems. We can do better than Good.

I've been all over the district and I can tell you the 5th Congressional District loves Trump and the America First Agenda! 

I invite you and your friends to join me in this cause. Take care, please spread the word and I look forward to seeing you around the district!
For God and Country,

Senator John McGuire
