Making Your Voice Heard
We are fighting every day to make aging easier in Virginia. Your voice matters, and we help make sure that our elected officials in the Commonwealth hear it.
AARP Virginia State Director Jim Dau announced that Jared Calfee has joined the organization as Associate State Director for Advocacy and Outreach to lead its state advocacy and financial security programming.
In Virginia, AARP will push to create a fast-track process to determine Medicaid eligibility and help older residents age in place.
AARP Virginia will focus on key issues including prescription drug costs, nursing home quality of care and home and community based services during the 2025 General Assembly.
AARP Virginia backed 13 bills which made it through the full General Assembly during the 2024 session. Ten were signed into law by Governor Glenn Youngkin while three were vetoed.
