Special Election on January 7th – VA’s 32nd Senate District
📢 Special Election on January 7th – Virginia’s 32nd Senate District
Parishioners of St. Theresa, please be reminded that a special election is set for January 7th to fill the seat of State Senator Suhas Subramanyam, who was elected to replace US Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton. This election is crucial, as it will likely be decided by a few thousand votes and will determine the balance of power in the Virginia Senate, impacting the legislative agenda for the next three sessions.
Bishop Burbidge has recently brought attention to significant legislative concerns, including a proposed amendment to Virginia’s constitution that would create an extreme “right to abortion.” This amendment could allow for virtually unrestricted abortion and potentially undermine existing protections such as parental consent laws and the ban on partial-birth abortion. The Bishop calls on lawmakers and citizens alike to advocate for policies that uphold the dignity and life of every mother and child.
As Catholics, we are called to be informed and active in civic matters, ensuring that our choices at the ballot box reflect our values and faith. The parishioners of St. Theresa have the unique power to influence this election. Your participation—whether through voting or abstaining—will play a role in shaping our Commonwealth’s future.
We urge all parishioners to learn about the candidates running for this seat and to vote in a manner consistent with our shared values.
🗳️ Mark your calendars for January 7th, and let your faith guide your civic engagement. Your voice and vote matter.
