January 29, 2018 David Toscano

We are now more than two weeks into the 2018 General Assembly session, and the pace has increased dramatically. Committees begin meeting at 7 a.m. and continue after session each day, often into the early evening. Most of my bills have not yet been reported to the House floor, … [Read more...]

The Heaphy Report – What’s Next?

December 13, 2017 David Toscano

We now have had several weeks to digest the city-initiated 207-page report on the July 8 and August 11-12, 2017, demonstrations in Charlottesville. While there are many nuances in the report of Timothy Heaphy and his team, and various ways by which it may be interpreted, the … [Read more...]

The Majority Is Still In Play

November 15, 2017 David Toscano

  The results in Virginia’s elections for our 100 House of Delegates seats last Tuesday were nothing short of a massive tsunami that people will write and talk about for years. (There's more about that in my post Anatomy of a Wave Election.) Few believed that the … [Read more...]

Toscano Calls on Northam to Resign

February 2, 2019

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (9:55 am, February 2, 2019)

The yearbook photograph of Governor Ralph Northam that went viral yesterday is outrageously offensive and deeply troubling.  Excuses that this might simply have been a youthful indiscretion or happened in an era when race relations in the South were different fail to recognize that this was apparently published in 1984, not 1954, and that the Governor was in his mid-twenties and in medical school at the time.

In an era of instantaneous news and reaction, it usually makes sense to carefully consider the best course of action, and to gather facts and perspectives to ensure that haste does not overtake good judgment.  Like my fellow Democrats in the General Assembly, I knew we needed to make space for the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus to meet with the Governor and determine their course of action.  It is now clear that while the Governor has done many good things in his career, and has been fighting for those most in need throughout his public life, he has lost the moral high ground at the core of his leadership.  It makes it almost impossible for him to govern.  I say this with the heaviest of hearts, but his ability to make further progress on his promises to Virginians has been so severely compromised that the best course for the Commonwealth is for him to resign.
