RICHMOND, Va. — On Wednesday and Thursday this week Governor Abigail Spanberger signed the Right to Contraception Act and legislation phasing Virginia's minimum wage to $15 by 2028, and she joined other governors in a letter to PJM Interconnection urging fair data-center cost allocation and reliability measures. The measures formalize state protections and policy timelines: the contraception law bars state and local restrictions on obtaining contraceptives, the wage bill sets incremental increases through 2028, and the PJM letter seeks a consumers-first framework; Spanberger has also defended ending a 287(g) agreement and addressed redistricting criticism this month.
