Following his inauguration, Governor Youngkin immediately got to work and signed 11 executive actions. Governor Youngkin banned divisive Critical Race Theory, mask mandates at schools, vaccine mandates for state employees, and withdrew from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI).
Youngkin defeated dirty Clintonite Terry McAuliffe in November as Republicans nearly swept the entire Commonwealth of Virginia. Critical race theory and concerns about safety in schools was the top issue for Virginia voters in November after a female high school student was raped in a girl’s bathroom by a ‘transgender’ boy wearing a skirt.
Here is a list of the executive actions, via WFIR.

Virginia’s new Attorney General Jason Miyares fired 30 staff members and announced investigations into the Virginia Parole Board and Loudoun County Schools within hours of being sworn into office.
Mr. Miyares was sworn in as Virginia’s Attorney General on Saturday and he’s already cleaning house.
“One of the reasons Virginians get so fed up with government is the lack of transparency – and that’s a big issue here,” Miyares wrote. “The Virginia Parole Board broke the law when they let out murders, rapists, and cop killers early on their sentences without notifying the victims. Loudoun Country Public Schools covered up a sexual assault on school grounds for political gain, leading to an additional assault of a young girl.”
Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas claimed Miyares fired the entire Civil Rights division, however the AG’s spokesperson said only two staffers from that division were let go on Saturday.
“There are 12 individuals who work in the Office of Civil Rights – only two personnel changes were made,” Miyares spox Victoria LaCivita said.
Miyares will reportedly be prosecuting criminal cases in jurisdictions where Soros DAs declined to prosecute.
As a candidate, I promised to investigate the scandals at the Virginia Parole Board and Loudoun County Schools.

Meanwhile, former Governor Blackface-Klansman Ralph Northam pardoned Democrat state senator Joe Morrissey in his last act as Governor, who was charged for having a sexual relationship with his 17-year-old law firm receptionist. In 2014, Morrissey, who was 57 years old at the time, was sentenced to 12 months in jail for engaging in sex acts with a 17-year-old.
