Did you know you can track every bill filed — and its outcome — right here: 2026 Legislation?
While the 2026 General Assembly passed no new taxes on utilities, food, beverages, digital goods, or more, misinformation is circulating that the Governor has already signed such taxes into law. That is simply not the case. On a related note — a friendly reminder that your annual taxes are due April 15th!
Read on to learn about seven of my bills that are now becoming law, while I await the Governor’s action on the rest of my legislative portfolio.
In Richmond
Governor Signs Bills
Governor Abigail Spanberger has signed seven pieces of legislation that I introduced and passed through the House and Senate chambers, during the 2026 Session. You can read about them all of them here!
An important one to highlight is HB1020, which came to me as a request from a community member. I worked with Senator Favola and the organization RAINN, whose mission is to stop sexual violence by supporting survivors, holding perpetrators accountable, and creating safer communities, to make this important change.
Around the District
The Special Election
Trump and MAGA Republicans are redrawing congressional maps mid-decade to tile the electoral landscape in their favor in this November’s upcoming election — changing the rules of the game to grab power before voters even have a chance to weigh in. This is an attempt to lock in control of Congress before the next election.
Virginia has a chance to fight back. And Virginia’s answer is different by design: temporary, transparent, and decided by voters, not politicians. It is a limited, emergency response to an extraordinary threat — one that puts the decision where it belongs, in the hands of the people.
If we fail to act, this threat continues. The electoral landscape stays tilted going into 2026, and the ability to hold Washington accountable gets harder for every Virginian, regardless of party.
To me, the choice is clear. See the video below explaining why I am voting YES on a temporary, emergency measure to restore a fair fight and make sure every vote in 2026 counts on a level playing field.

Legislative Recap and Brunch
Join me and fellow legislators representing Loudoun on April 19, 2026 as we share updates from the 2026 Legislative Session and highlight our collective accomplishments. Held each spring following the close of the General Assembly session, this annual brunch brings together community members and legislators to hear directly from lawmakers about the bills we sponsored and passed — and to connect with neighbors across the district.
How My Office Can Help
Navigating state agencies can be confusing and difficult at times. As the delegate for House District 27, I can help you communicate with state agencies such as the Virginia Employment Commission, Departments of Taxation, Social Services, Transportation, and more! I can also submit inquiries with those agencies on your behalf. There are limits to what I can do, however. For example, I am unable to expedite cases or force state agencies to favor your inquiry, provide legal advice or recommend a specific attorney, intervene with judicial issues, overturn decisions, or be involved with matters between private businesses.
Whether you require my office’s assistance, want to bring an issue to my attention or invite me to a community event, please reach out here: https://atoosareaser.com/help/.
Alongside constituent services, I can submit drafts for commending and memorial resolutions. If you know of a person or organization in the district that deserves special recognition, please submit a request here: resolution request form.
Additionally, you can send us an email if you want me attend an event here: [email protected]!
If you are happy with the work I am doing, please consider a small contribution to go towards every day things like this newsletter! And please give me a follow or a like on socials!
