News Release January 18, 2025: RICHMOND, VA - Governor Glenn Youngkin today released the following statement after President Joe Biden announced the clemency of violent criminals Ferrone Claiborne and Terence Richardson, two men who admitted to being responsible for the brutal killing of Officer Allen Gibson, a Sussex County police officer.
RICHMOND, VA – Governor Glenn Youngkin today highlighted Operation Silence Shattered, a robust anti-human trafficking initiative designed to raise awareness and protect vulnerable young people across communities and college campuses in Virginia, as well as key legislation before the Virginia General Assembly aimed at eradicating human trafficking.
“Human trafficking is not a Republican or Democrat issue—it is a human rights issue. From day one, we have been committed to not just reducing but eradicating this evil, because the fight to end it has long weighed heavily on Suzanne’s and my heart,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin. “Together, we will continue making a difference, empowering survivors, and building a future free from the darkness of human trafficking. Our work is far from over, but with unwavering determination, we will bring justice and hope to those who need it most.”
“One of the most critical fights of our time is the battle against human trafficking,” said Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears. “Human trafficking affects every community, and therefore, it affects all of us. Together, we must send a clear message: we will always stand with victims, and we will always fight for the day when human trafficking is eradicated from our Commonwealth.”
“In Virginia, we are relentlessly pursuing those who exploit the vulnerable. We have strengthened our efforts at every level—coordinating, enhancing, and centralizing our fight to dismantle trafficking networks and deliver justice. Our goal is clear: to provide a victim-centered, trauma-informed response that combats human trafficking across the Commonwealth,” said Attorney General Jason Miyares. “I am proud of our progress, but we will not rest until every trafficker is held accountable and every survivor has the support they need to rebuild their lives.”
“Every survivor of human trafficking carries a story of unimaginable resilience, and it is our collective responsibility to ensure they find hope, healing, and a future free from exploitation,” said First Lady Suzanne S. Youngkin. “Together, with organizations like Latisha's House, Operation Light Shine, and New Creation VA, we are building a safer and more compassionate Virginia—one where every life is valued.” Click here to read the rest of the news release.

Virginia Leads the Way
RICHMOND, VA – Governor Glenn Youngkin today announced that Serioplast, a global manufacturer of rigid
plastic packaging, will invest $25,725,000 to occupy a 140,000-square-foot industrial facility in Shenandoah
County. The company is headquartered in Seriate, Italy, and provides packaging for companies like
Procter&Gamble, Unilever, Reckitt Benckiser, and more. The project will create 45 new jobs.
“I am thrilled that Serioplast has chosen the Commonwealth of Virginia to build a new industrial facility for their
plastic packaging,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin. “I also applaud Serioplast for strengthening their workforce
by participating in the Virginia Talent Accelerator Program, which will bring customized training services to this
robust, international company.”
“Global manufacturers like Serioplast are recognizing Virginia is the top choice for doing business,” said
Secretary of Commerce and Trade Caren Merrick. “We are proud that the Commonwealth attracted Serioplast
into the Shenandoah Valley where their packaging products will go hand-in-hand with the manufactoring mecca
that the valley has grown to encompass.”
"Serioplast stands out not only for its excellence in manufacturing but also for its commitment to sustainability,”
said CEO of Serioplast Group Paolo Bergamini. “Our vision for the future is clear: to drive growth and innovation
while maintaining a strong commitment to sustainability. With our growth in North America, Serioplast is ready
to write a new chapter of success. We believe Virginia, with its robust economy, highly skilled workforce, and
favorable business environment, is the ideal location for our expansion and long-term success."
Since its founding in 1974, Serioplast’s packaging has been used by companies in the consumer goods industry,
including home care and laundry, food, personal care, and pharma markets. The company has grown into a
global leader in rigid plastic packaging, operating 33 production facilities across 16 countries with a workforce of
over 2,000 employees. In recent years, Serioplast has expanded its presence in North America, with a key
production site in St. Louis, Missouri. Committed to sustainability, Serioplast integrates recycled materials into
its production processes, reinforcing its dedication to the circular economy while driving innovation in packaging
solutions.
“We are very pleased to work with and welcome a respected international company that strengthens the
manufacturing sector in Shenandoah County and the region,” said Shenandoah Valley Partnership Executive
Director Jay Langston.
“Shenandoah County is always a place that welcomes new businesses and industries when they align with the
vision of our county’s future and ones that will be great places for our citizens to work,” said Shenandoah County
Board of Supervisors Chairman Josh Stephens. “We are excited that Serioplast has chosen Shenandoah County
for their latest expansion. The fact they will breathe new life into an existing industrial building already housed
within the county is something to be commended for as well.”
"I am delighted that Serioplast has selected Shenandoah County as the site of its next manufacturing
facility,” said Senator Timmy French. “Serioplast is investing in our region and our people by bringing 45 new
jobs to the county."
"I appreciate the work of the Shenandoah Valley Partnership, VEDP, and Governor Youngkin to help bring this
substantial industrial investment to Shenandoah County,” said Delegate C. Todd Gilbert.
The Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with the Shenandoah Valley Partnership and
Shenandoah County to secure the project for Virginia. Governor Youngkin approved a $180,000 grant from the
Commonwealth’s Opportunity Fund to assist Shenandoah County with this project.
Support for Serioplast’s job creation will be provided through the Virginia Talent Accelerator Program, ranked
the No. 1 Customized Workforce Training Program in the United States by Business Facilities in 2024. The
program, created by VEDP in collaboration with higher education partners, accelerates new facility startups
through the direct delivery of recruitment and training services that are fully customized to a company’s unique
products, processes, equipment, standards and culture. All program services are provided at no cost to qualified
new and expanding companies as an incentive for job creation.

02/04/2025: In his latest Sixth District Perspectives with Congressman Ben Cline newsletter, Ben writes, "President Trump is delivering on his promises to restore law and order, protect American families, and put our Nation back on the right track. In his first days back in office, he signed the Laken Riley Act into law, ensuring that criminal illegal immigrants are removed from our streets and held accountable for their crimes. He also honored our men and women in uniform by signing an executive order reinstating service members who were wrongfully discharged over the COVID-19 vaccine mandate. These heroes deserve better, and President Trump is making it right. Meanwhile, his Administration has already taken bold action to restore security, unleash American energy, and protect our freedoms, signing over 300 executive orders that put Americans first. As we move forward, I remain committed to fighting for the values we share, securing our Nation, and ensuring that Washington works for we the people not the bureaucrats.
Prayers for Those Affected by the Reagan National Airport Tragedy
My heartfelt prayers go out to the families and loved ones impacted by the tragic plane crash near Reagan National Airport last week. In times of loss, our communities come together, and I stand with those grieving as they navigate this painful moment. I am also grateful for the courage and dedication of our first responders, who worked tirelessly in the rescue and recovery efforts. Their bravery reminds us of the strength and resilience that define our Nation.
Restoring Law and Order with the Laken Riley Act
Last week, President Trump signed into law one of the most important immigration enforcement measures in American history, the Laken Riley Act. Named in honor of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student who was brutally murdered by an illegal immigrant, this law ensures that criminals like her killer are swiftly removed from our country before they can harm innocent Americans.
The Laken Riley Act:

Required Reading: "A Republic if You Can Keep It"
... by James R. Poplar III
Philadelphia, 1787 a woman approached Benjamin Franklin and asked him, “well, Doctor, what do we have, a Republic or a Monarchy?” Franklin replied sagely, “a Republic if you can keep it.”
Fast forward to the height of the Cold War, political theorist and former FBI employee Cleon Skousen authored “The Naked Communist” which outlined a concerted effort to overcome and control all of the world's governments through the implementation of social progressivism. Although I generally do not subscribe to conspiracy theories, let’s take a look at what the author predicted sixty- five years ago, I think you will be amazed. Read on...
