Family First Economy
Families across Virginia are working harder than ever, but rising costs are stretching household budgets thin.
Speaker Don Scott is focused on building a Family First Economy—one that lifts up working families and gives everyone a fair shot at prosperity.
That starts with solving the housing crisis. Every Virginian deserves a safe, affordable place to call home. Speaker Scott is committed to expanding investment in affordable housing and pushing back against the runaway costs that are pricing families out of their neighborhoods.
He’s also championing efforts to expand access to affordable, high-quality childcare—so parents can pursue their careers while knowing their children are safe, cared for, and learning. And because opportunity shouldn't come with crushing debt, Speaker Scott is fighting to make higher education more affordable by lowering tuition and increasing financial aid.
