Woodbridge, Va. –– Two House of Delegates members in the Potomac Communities got high marks on a review from the Prince William Chamber of Commerce.
At the chamber’s annual Legislative Report Card event April 15, Del. Luke Torian (D-52, Dumfries) got a 92 rating and an overall 93 percent in the scoring process.
Del. Richard Anderson (R-51, Lake Ridge, Woodbridge) also received a 92 rating and an overall 91 percent average.
The scorecard included items covering transportation, priority business legislation for the chamber and its members, economic development, as well as ranked their support for general business practices supported by the Prince William Chamber.
The chamber gave Torian low marks for supporting mandatory health insurance coverage for children with autism spectrum disorder, as well as supporting requiring a secret ballot for unionization.
Anderson received low marks as well for supporting mandatory health coverage for autism patients, and in the transportation realm for supporting a decision to allow localities to make it optional to decide whether or not to adopt plans for urban development.
Manassas Delegate Jackson Miller (R-50) received the highest marks of any politician that for supporting the chamber’s initiatives.
“The policies set in Richmond have a direct effect on how business is done, and how we live, in Prince William. It is important to bring our members together with state representatives, encouraging an open dialogue about how they can support the success of our region, and of our businesses,” said Prince William Chamber President & CEO Rob Clapper.
The event was held at Old Hickory Golf Club in Woodbridge.
