Right now, communities across Virginia are seeing profits from local businesses flow out of state while workers struggle to make ends meet. We can change that. I urge you to sponsor legislation that:
Taxes commercial properties based on ownership, hitting out-of-state corporations harder and keeping wealth local.
Rewards living wages, giving tax credits to businesses paying at least 2x minimum wage—and discouraging companies that rely on public assistance to subsidize low pay.
Funds community wealth, directing revenue toward worker co-ops and community land trusts that empower people instead of absentee landlords.
This isn’t abstract policy—it’s about the future of our neighborhoods, our families, and our local economies. With inflation high, housing scarce, and corporate profits booming, now is the moment to act. We need policies that prioritize people over out-of-state corporate balance sheets.
Will you stand with your constituents and sponsor legislation to keep commercial wealth in Virginia?
