Boysko, Sullivan Pre-General Assembly Town Hall Hosted By MCA
McLean residents will have a chance to interact with their state legislators before the start of the 2026 Virginia General Assembly.
MCLEAN, VA — State Sen. Jennifer Boysko (D-Herndon) and Del. Rip Sullivan (D-Great Falls) will be participating in a pre-General Assembly Town Hall hosted by the McLean Citizens Association.
The event will take place Tuesday, Jan. 6, at 6:30 p.m., at the McLean Community Center, which is located at 1234 Ingleside Ave. in McLean.
Even though state lawmakers have been meeting to review outgoing Gov. Glenn Youngkin's (R) budget proposal, the 2026 session of the Virginia General Assembly officially begins on Wednesday, Jan. 14 and adjourns 60 days later on March 16. The deadline for lawmakers to pre-file proposed legislation is 12 p.m. on Jan. 13.

As of Monday, Sullivan has not pre-filed any legislation, but Boysko has pre-filed two bills for the upcoming legislative session:
- SB 2: Paid family and medical leave insurance program; definitions, notice requirements, civil action.
- SJ1: Constitutional amendment; fundamental right to reproductive freedom (second reference).
After the defeat of Senate Bill 975 in February, Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell (D-Mount Vernon) said that he planned to reintroduce legislation that would pave the way for a casino to be built along Metro's Silver Line in Tysons. No one has reintroduced the legislation for the 2026 session yet.
