A Virginia State Senator representing Prince William and Stafford counties was chosen Minority Caucus Whip.
Scott Surovell (D-36) will replace the outgoing Jennifer Wexton, who was elected to Congress earlier this month, as the Democratic caucus whip.
“I’m honored and humbled that my colleagues would entrust me with this leadership position,” Surovell states in a press release. “Last year was my most successful legislative session yet and I look forward to continuing to work within our caucus and across the aisle to advance policies that lift up all Virginians. Going into the next election cycle, we are poised for significant action this year on the structure of our tax system, investments in education equity, and funding to clean up Virginia's coal ash problem.”

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
