Shield Law:
Thanks to my former editors @BrianKarem and DG for working with me on text and former @RTDNEWS reporter Robin Traywick Williams, @va_press_assoc, @opengovva, @FreePressRVA & @UriahKiser for testifying.
Extra thanks to Brian for catching the red eye to do it this year. https://twitter.com/pwcdanica/status/1248018818703609856

Also thanks to my chief co-patrons Dels. @ChrisHurstVA, @shelly_simonds & Lee Ware, our 22 co-patrons, the House Courts/Senate Judiciary members for their cmte work, the 92 Yea votes, and Del. @JasonMiyaresVA for working w/ me on it in VaBeach in 2018 & signing on in 2019 & 2020.

Above all, thanks to my staff - 11 of you past & present by my count (including our wonderful admin assistants and interns) led by @Gigi_Slais16 - did a phenomenal job working this bill from every angle throughout the last three years until we finally got it done.
Thank you all!

Also, shout-out to the House Courts of Justice and Senate Judiciary counsel and staff for preparing amendments/substitutes and doing the grunt work that goes almost unrecognized by the public at large but is essential for us to do our jobs, along with the House and Senate clerks.

The same goes for the behind-the-scenes heroes of VA General Assembly: the Division of Legislative Services attorneys & staff.
Major thank you to DLS attorney Brittany Olwine for helping us with the bill draft & amendments this year and to Kate Adelfio from the AG's office too.
