Spanberger Statement on Proposed Virginia Budget

Governor-Elect Spanberger: “As Governor, I Look Forward to Working With the General Assembly to Lower Costs for Virginia Families, Invest in Virginia’s Public Schools Schools, & Protect Access to Critical Healthcare Services”

RICHMOND, Va. — Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger today released the following statement after Governor Glenn Youngkin announced his 2026-2028 biennial budget proposal.

“Virginians made clear this November that they want leaders focused on lowering costs, creating good-paying jobs, and making Virginia’s schools the best in America. The biennial budget is a critical opportunity to deliver on those priorities and position Virginia for success in the years to come.

“As the next Governor of Virginia, I look forward to working with the General Assembly to lower costs for Virginia families, invest in Virginia’s public schools, and protect access to critical healthcare services. My team and I are already digging through the details of this proposal, and I look forward to working with Chair Lucas, Chair Torian, and their committees to make sure that Virginia’s best days are ahead.”

This morning, Spanberger attended Governor Youngkin’s briefing to the joint Virginia House Appropriations and Senate Finance & Appropriations Committees in Richmond.
