RICHMOND, VA – Today, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares announced his legislative priorities and goals for the 2025 General Assembly session.
“This year’s legislative session presents a critical opportunity for us in Richmond to address pressing issues facing Virginians and deliver real results that positively impact the daily lives of those in the Commonwealth. I remain dedicated to fostering a safer, stronger Virginia through bold and thoughtful legislation that prioritizes public safety, defends victims’ rights, and tackles the challenges our communities are facing head-on,” said Attorney General Jason Miyares. “As the ‘People’s Protector,’ I have remained resolute in my commitment to fulfill the promises I made from day one. Every Virginian deserves to feel safe in their homes, confident in their communities, and secure in their futures. Whether it’s protecting our children from exploitation, supporting victims of crime, or addressing emerging threats, this session is not a time for partisan divide—it is an opportunity for us to come together, set aside our differences, and focus on what truly matters: serving the people of Virginia.”
“Attorney General Miyares has continued to demonstrate an unwavering commitment to fighting human trafficking and protecting the most vulnerable in our communities. The legislation he is supporting this General Assembly session to address human trafficking is evidence of his commitment to addressing one of the gravest human rights violations of our day. At the Safe House Project, we know all too well the challenges in combating human trafficking and ensuring survivors have access to restorative care services. As we continue to develop responses to overcome barriers, we are thankful for the partnership with AG Miyares and his office to implement these solutions throughout the Commonwealth. I am confident that, together, we can deliver meaningful results that will help protect survivors, prosecute offenders, and ultimately prevent human trafficking from happening in the first place,” said Brittany Dunn, COO & Co-Founder, Safe House Project…
