Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin retired last Saturday, constrained by term limits to just four years in office. But his single term was easily one of the most successful of any governor in recent memory.
What is perhaps most remarkable is that Democrats controlled at least one house of the legislature during his entire tenure, blocking his boldest proposals. But in response, Youngkin thwarted many of the legislature’s big government moves. He issued over 400 vetoes, including to legislation that would have set a $15 minimum wage.
