  • Come January, the Virginia Democrat will be back on familiar House ground when he's sworn in to represent the state's 10th District, which includes the entirety of Loudoun and Fauquier counties and parts of Fairfax, Prince Williams and Rappahanock counties.

The article from GovExec discusses the priorities of Virginia's new House Democrat, Delegate Schuyler VanValkenburg, who has identified protecting the civil service and upgrading technology as key focuses. VanValkenburg, who flipped a Republican-held seat, aims to safeguard the merit-based civil service system against political interference, emphasizing the need for a stable and non-partisan government workforce. Additionally, he is pushing for significant investments in technology to modernize state government operations, particularly in areas like cybersecurity, data management, and digital services to enhance efficiency and security. His initiatives reflect a broader Democratic strategy to strengthen government functionality and integrity, especially in light of recent political efforts to undermine civil service protections.
