WSET TV

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WSET) -- History will be made when the Virginia General Assembly begins its session.

The Virginia General Assembly will start its session under full Democratic control for the first time since 1995 on Wednesday, Jan. 8.

The historically diverse legislature is poised to pass legislation that they say will make Virginia a better place for all.

Delegate Eileen Filler-Corn will be sworn in as the House's first woman and first Jewish speaker in the legislature’s 400-year history.
