Reeves-Vogel lawsuit

Click here for more information on the Reeves-Vogel lawsuit

In September and October 2016, a series of emails signed "Martha McDaniel" were sent to local Republican Party officials and supporters of Vogel's fellow state senator and rival in the Republican lieutenant gubernatorial primary, Bryce Reeves. The emails accused Reeves of being involved in an extramarital affair with an unnamed staffer. On January 1, 2017, Reeves produced forensic evidence which he claimed tied the emails to Vogel. Vogel alleged that her family's devices were hacked and denied any involvement with the McDaniel emails. The final development in the case before the June 13, 2017, primary election was a hearing on June 9, 2017, in Stafford County Circuit Court. The judge in that hearing denied Reeves' request for subpoenas against the Vogels, their neighbors, and two activists Reeves alleged may have knowledge of the emails' source.[6][7]

Grow the economy
By reducing regulations and the tax burden, Jill is fighting to restore economic growth and make Virginia #1 for business. As a state senator, Jill Vogel has taken the lead in introducing legislation to begin addressing some of our economic challenges while looking forward to future opportunities for tax reform, regulatory relief, transportation improvements, and workforce development.

Restoring trust in government
Drawing from her experience as an ethics lawyer, Jill has fought to increase transparency and reform government. She introduced legislation that strengthens ethical standards and closes loopholes by banning all gifts to lawmakers from special interests and prohibiting candidates from using campaign funds on personal expenditures, which is – shockingly – legal under current law.

Defend the Constitution
As an ethics attorney, Jill was on the front lines against the Obama Administration’s targeting of Tea Party and other conservative groups in their fight against the IRS. As a state senator, she introduced and successfully passed a law prohibiting the individual Obamacare mandate to purchase health insurance. She also introduced the “Repeal Amendment” bill allowing states to repeal any unwanted federal law or regulation.[13]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Virginia

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
