Rep. Jennifer Wexton(@RepWexton) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Today, with the assistance of voice to text tech due to my PSP, I spoke on the House floor in favor of my bill to rename the Purcellville post office in honor of Madeleine Albright.

If you’re a NoVA voter and have opinions or questions, get in touch! email’s in my bio

Looks like the original press release has been corrected. The school division that's part of this proposal is LCPS, not FCPS.
