Virginia NAACP Supports Judicial Ruling Upholding Constitutional Integrity Against Political Overreach

  • Press Release

The NAACP Virginia State Conference stands firmly in support of the recent ruling by Fairfax County Circuit Court Judge Jonathan Frieden, which upholds the clear constitutional framework regarding gubernatorial appointees.

Virginia NAACP President Rev. Cozy Bailey issued the following statement:

“The integrity of our college institutions must be maintained, and every voice must be respected. It is unfortunate that Governor Youngkin and Attorney General Miyares have chosen to disregard these established rules, instead opting to pursue their own agenda. Furthermore, the decision by Attorney General Miyares to challenge this ruling in the Supreme Court represents a misallocation of taxpayer dollars and undermines the democratic process. This ruling is a victory for the rule of law and for the rights of the people of Virginia.”

The NAACP Virginia State Conference will continue its advocacy to protect the rights of all Virginians.
