Issues

Civil Rights & Race

Kaye Kory

Source: Advocating for Women

Fighting for women’s rights is at the forefront of my career. ​

​As a legislator and a community activist, I have worked to establish women’s reproductive rights and reproductive justice, as well as to bring a high profile to these issues.  Whether a patron of a reproductive rights bill, an anti-discrimination bill or a menstrual equity bill and an advocate for  passage, and working to ensure implementation, I actively seek broader social justice goals in our education system and in our criminal justice system.  I have organized community action in Iowa, Rhode Island and Virginia to support these goals.  I became an elected School Board Member and Delegate to pursue equity and create leadership opportunities for women and girls, and strengthen our pro-choice support.​

Through founding and chairing the Women’s Reproductive Health Care Caucus in the Virginia General Assembly, I have built a strong base to support reproductive justice and push for change.  I have attended and spoken at rallies and marches at the Capitol and traveled with the ERA bus.  My successful bill, HB83 (2018), requiring prisons and jails to provide menstrual supplies at no charge and upon request — instead of an allotted amount — for incarcerated women was the first in the nation.  I have gone into jails and prisons to learn firsthand the specifics of health care offered to women.  I have also organized a public panel of formerly incarcerated women to publicize the travesties and inequities in our criminal justice system and hope to schedule more in the future.

Establishing civil equality and the right to choose reproductive health care should not be the century-long fight that it has become.  Unfortunately, equality looks like a threat to the privileged.  This has been borne out again and again.  Not one more generation of women should have to fight this fight.  Our Constitution must establish legal equality for women.  Until that time, I will fight against gender inequity everywhere I find it.

I understand

My stepfather was African American. In the 1980s, my mother married a Black Man. This was a big deal at the time as society looked down on such marriages. He treated me excellently. And so have other African Americans. They are true Patriots of our Republic.

I understand

I am Married to a Woman of Color

My wife is Asian of Indian ancestry. We have been married for 24 years. It is very discomforting to witness violence against Asians and I will work to end it. I am an aficionado of Asian cultures and very proud of the Asian Patriots I interact with daily.

I am Married to a Woman of Color

Systemic Racism

As a White male, I have seen and felt the racism of some against People of Color. It does exist. You will not meet many White people who have directly experienced it themselves. I completely understand the uncomfortable feeling and the anger. Racism is not built into our systems, but is keep alive by some who use the system to be racist. Our systems are benevolent and harm no one. I will work to remove the real cause of Racism.

Education and LGBT+ Rights:

I am fighting for our fair share of state funds for education and transportation; I am also protecting teachers’ salaries and retirement plans. I refuse to support cuts in programs for children with special needs and in core community services.

increase in public education funds and a 5% raise for teachers and instructors during the 2019 reconvened legislative session.  Moreover, these significant achievements for public education were agreed to in a Republican-controlled General Assembly.  Imagine what we could do with a Democratic majority in 2020 and beyond!

Educators endorse my re-election! ​

I am excited and honored that our teachers have endorsed my re-election in recognition of my push for state investment in pre-K-12 education.  The FEA and VEA join me in striving to offer our children the excellent education they deserve.

Equitable education access for students of diverse backgrounds. ​

One important issue facing our public schools that is not discussed often enough is Virginia’s outdated funding formula identifying ratios for full-time instructional positions to students with limited English proficiency — also called ESL (English as Second Language) students and ELLs (English Language Learners).  Our ESL students deserve the same quality education as their peers.  That’s why we need to update the current ratio so our ESL students are able to spend more time with specialized instructors to have greater opportunities to catch up.  I patroned HB362 and HB694 in previous legislative sessions at the General Assembly.  I unfortunately received no support from the GOP-controlled House of Delegates and both bills were tabled on party-line votes in Subcommittee.  I look forward to having a Democratic majority in 2020 so we can finally address this issue.

Virginia’s public schools: the foundation of our Commonwealth’s future. ​

Anyone who knows me knows my longstanding career spanning over 20 years supporting Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS).  I have stood with partner organizations like the Fairfax Education Association (FEA) and Virginia Education Association (VEA) to help lead the charge in our push for investment in pre-K-12 education.  Investing in public education in our Commonwealth shows our students that we are working hard to support their learning and growth, as they are the foundation all of our futures.  That’s why I am pleased to announce that after working hard and advocating for public education in Richmond at the General Assembly, we were able to pass a $378 million increase in public education funds and a 5% raise for teachers and instructors during the 2019 reconvened legislative session.  Moreover, these significant achievements for public education were agreed to in a Republican-controlled General Assembly.  Imagine what we could do with a Democratic majority in 2020 and beyond!

Human rights for all Virginians. ​

I am unquestionably an ally for all LGBTQIA+ Virginians.  I have supported Equality Virginia’s efforts to end discrimination, protect families, and build safe communities my entire career as a Delegate for the 38th District.  Many Virginians already know: our state lacks workplace, housing, and accommodation protections for our LGBTQIA+ family members.  As a Commonwealth, we need to work together to pass non-discrimination policies — including my many efforts to end workplace discrimination by codifying protections for sexual orientation and gender identity specifically (HB179, HB2057, HB10 and HB2579).

Tom Pafford

After School Programs

After-school programs that protect children and help working parents have been cut. I will work to ensure that schools have after-school programs for your children.

Police in Schools

The police in schools are there to protect your child and teachers. Funding for maintaining police in schools has been cut. I will work to increase funding to keep the police in our schools.

Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJHSST)

TJHSST was the number one high school in America. It was a school for intellectually gifted students. TJHSST was not the average high school and only those who passed an admissions test, based on merit, were allowed to attend — and that admissions test was hard! Students who had the intellect, the study habits, and the drive to achieve passed. The Asian community has a family structure that “pushes” their children to excel, and their children strive to be the best. As such, Asian students were around 75% of the student body at TJHSST. This summer, the Fairfax County School Board removed the admissions test and in its place installed a lottery system to allow all eight-graders an opportunity to be admitted to TJHSST. To ensure that all accepted students could actually pass the courses at TJHSST, the academics standards were lowered. TJHSST is now just another high school. I will work to return TJHSST to its former status as the number one high school in America for our intellectually gifted students.

Equity

Equity is advertised as truly creating policies and regulations that generate fairness and justice for all by letting everyone see the same “game of life” and provide the same opportunities to all. The removal of the admissions test based on merit is an example of Equity in practice. Because the admission test differentiated between intellectual students and average students, Equity required the School Board to change to a lottery system. It also required a lowering of the academic standards to allow all students the opportunity to pass high school. Advertised Equity and Equity in practice are two different truths. And students, parents, families, and communities lose when Equity is imposed.

Sex Education

As academic standards are being lowered in all of our schools, Sex Education is being raised in its importance. So much so, that Sex Ed is taught in every subject – math, English, history, etc. And, it is very different from the Sex Education classes of the 1970s to the 2000s. All forms of sex are taught – heterosexual and homosexual – with visual aids, videos, literature. Over 100 different genders are taught – not just man and woman. Hundreds of new pronouns are taught to address others by their chosen gender. And students and teachers are required to use this Sexual instruction in everyday life. I will work to remove much of the Sexual Education now being taught in our schools and replace it with more academic studies. Have you asked your child what they are learning in Sex Ed? You will be surprised!

Transgender Protections

I know that some children do declare Transgender status and are bullied both in school and out of school. Bullying of these students cannot be allowed. However, the Department of Education’s Transgender Protections regulations removes parental control of your child and places control firmly in the hands of the State. The consequence of this is harassment, intimidation, and threats to the parents should they disagree with their child’s decision. A parent’s firm disagreement could allow the State to remove your child from your home and custody. I will work to replace the current Transgender Protections with regulations that place the parents in charge of their children.

Transgender Students and School Bathrooms

Part of the Transgender Protections regulations permits Transgender boys and girls to use the bathroom of their chosen gender. Therefore, girls will find boys in the girl’s bathroom and boys will find girls in the boy’s bathroom. Besides the shock of finding a person of the opposite sex in the bathroom, this is a safety issue for all students and teachers. I will work to stop this.

Critical Race Theory (CRT)

CRT teaches that the United States of America is unjust, unfair, and racist! It claims the USA cannot be changed as the unfairness, the injustice and the racism is systemic, built into all the fabric of society. The change CRT works for is a revolution of the American system starting with an overhaul of the Constitution as it was created by slave owners, the removal of all history as it reminds people of our racist past, and the rewriting of history to illustrate our unfairness, our injustice, and our racism. I will work to remove CRT from the curriculum and replace it with history, social studies, and civics that teach all students how the US Constitution, our laws, and our institutions work for them not against them.

Environment:

Kaye Kory

Working to Protect our Environment

I am fighting for our right to clean air and water. I will always vote to prevent pollution and bring green energy business to Virginia. This includes utilizing my membership of the Special Energy Subcommittee of the House Committee on Commerce and Labor, where all energy-related legislation in the House must go before we determine whether a bill can advance to full Committee. I have also been appointed the Virginia State Lead for the National Caucus of Environmental Legislators since 2017.

Electric power restructuring, modernization, and consumer rate reform.​

​Over-charging directly resulted from a rate freeze enacted in 2015 to provide funding for the mandatory greenhouse gas reduction proposed for Virginia as part of the federal Clean Power Act. Due to steps Virginia had already taken to reduce emissions, the percentage reduction requirements we faced was going to be more costly to achieve than our neighboring states who had yet to put in place some of the lower cost measures that we had. However, with the election of President Trump, the proposed regulations were reversed and we no longer faced a mandate. The accumulated money, therefore, became an over-charge on consumer electric rates since the stated need for it did not materialize. Under the legislation passed in the General Assembly in 2018, there was a $200 million rebate through a reduction in consumer bills in spring 2018 and another $150 million rebate in summer 2018 after a full determination was made of the effect of the December federal tax reduction act.​

Although the Clean Power Act was reversed, it spoke to the serious crisis of climate change accelerated by over-dependence on fossil fuels. With or without federal mandates, I have a long-standing commitment to developing green energy and reducing consumption. I do not believe that Dominion has done enough. As such, I fully supported provisions in the legislation to:

  • Bring on-line 5,000 megawatts of wind and solar, which is 10 times the current commitment and is enough to serve 1.25 million homes;
  • Spend $1 billion for energy efficiency in the next decade, which includes $13 million per year from the company-funded Energy Share Weatherization program that is not in the rate base and is focused on low income households; and
  • Carry out State Corporation Commission (SCC) approved grid transformation to promote non-peak energy use and provide for net metering to allow relatively small-scale solar generation to be sold back and used throughout the grid.

I not only advocated provisions directing the SCC to consider funding robust investments in green energy, I also supported provisions for modernizing the grid to promote conservation, guard against cyber-security breaches, and improve dependability —- particularly by undergrounding wires in neighborhoods with a high rate of power outages. As we saw in the March 2018 Nor’easter, strategic undergrounding in the most vulnerable areas needs to be systematically carried out. Not only is it important to have the ability to centrally pinpoint outages, but sophisticated equipment is affected by peak power demand brown-outs and the grid needs to be able to respond.

These considerations depend on robust professional financial review by the SCC in assuring that rates properly cover:

  • the service currently provided;
  • expenditures to maintain, improve, and maximize service; and
  • investments to achieve the most cost-effective, reliable service into the future.​

Success in the 2018 General Assembly Legislative Session.

  • The General Assembly ended rate freezes as of January 1, 2018.
  • The General Assembly returned to regular rate reviews every 3 years.
  • The SCC can order refunds and rate cuts after just one — not two — consecutive periods of over-earnings and can do so in between aforementioned triennial reviews.
  • The General Assembly put an end to “double-dipping” that had included the value of investments already paid for in full by ratepayers in calculating a rate of return on those investments that was to be covered in setting future rates.
  • The General Assembly required the SCC to report back after each triennial review regarding solar, wind, and grid transformation, as a way to underscore the SCC’s responsibility to hold energy utilities accountable for achieving the goals that have been set and to establish an historic base for the SCC to enforce the provision that requires $50 million dollars a year in base rate reductions if investments in renewable energy and grid transformation are not made

Health Care

Kaye Kory

Fighting to Keep Medicaid Expansion

I will continue to fight against threats to cut funding to Medicaid expansion and work to ensure that all Virginians can receive affordable and quality health care.

An historic moment: Medicaid expansion in Virginia. ​

I fought alongside my Democratic colleagues for nearly a decade to expand Medicaid in Virginia.  When Congress passed the Affordable Care Act, they included money for states to expand Medicaid coverage.  But General Assembly Republicans refused that money and stranded 400,000 working Virginians without healthcare.​

With the help of grassroots advocates, and my colleagues in both the House of Delegates and Senate, we were finally able to pass Medicaid Expansion for those 400,000 uninsured working Virginians.​

The passage of Medicaid expansion in the 2018 Legislative Session freed up hundreds of thousands of dollars in our state budget, which allowed us to fund additional critical needs such as education, mental health, and transportation across the Commonwealth.  Governor Northam’s Medicaid Expansion bill-signing ceremony on the Capitol steps in Richmond in summer 2018 was an historic moment and I was proud to be a part of it.  The passage of Medicaid expansion in Virginia was made possible by the pressure exerted by the unprecedented number of Democratic office holders elected in the 2018 Blue Wave.   There is strength in numbers, which enabled us to finally pass Medicaid expansion legislation and offer healthcare to for some 400,000 working, yet uninsured, Virginians.

Infrastructure

Kaye Kory

Budget and Transportation

Too many Republicans and Democrats in Richmond believe that a “one size fits all” model can apply to creating the budget and fixing transportation. These advocates of the Dillon rule could not be farther from the truth. The fact of the matter is a decision made without concern over a specific locality is a decision doomed for failure. As your delegate, I promise to conduct my work on the budget and transportation issue in a way that reflects the needs of the 38th District.Working along side with local officials and community leaders Short-term Fixes and Long-term Solutions for Our Transportation Problems

    The 2021 Virginia lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 2, 2021, to elect the next lieutenant governor of Virginia. Incumbent Democratic Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax was eligible to run for a second term, but instead unsuccessfully ran for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination.[1] On November 3, Hala Ayala conceded the race,[2] making Republican Winsome Sears the first black woman to be elected to the lieutenant governorship of Virginia or any statewide office, as well as the first woman elected lieutenant governor in Virginia's history. Sears was also the first Jamaican-American to become a lieutenant governor.
