Record Vetoes in 2024

Governor Youngkin has set a new record for vetoes in a single year, axing 153 bills so far in 2024. This year alone, Youngkin has killed more legislation than any recent Governor of Virginia has in their full four-year term. More vetoes could be on the way if the General Assembly rejects amendments the Governor has submitted for 116 bills.
