Rep. Spanberger discusses COVID-19 relief, impeachment at telephone town hall
Rep. Spanberger discusses COVID-19 relief, impeachment at telephone town hall By Max Marcilla | January 27, 2021 at 10:04 PM EST - Updated January 29 at 12:35 AM
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Virginia Rep. Abigail Spanberger spent her Wednesday evening on a telephone town hall with some constituents.
The 7th district Democrat answered questions on COVID-19 relief, the vaccine rollout, and domestic terrorism.
She said she met with White House officials to discuss COVID relief and shared some additional priorities.
“As this new Congress begins I am laser-focused on delivering additional COVID-19 relief but I’m also focused on working with the new administration and my colleagues to deliver large-scale infrastructure legislation - something that has frankly been long, long overdue,” she said.

As we wrote earlier today, it was, as expected, a very tight vote for Speaker of the House.
Controversially, Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI) was in attendance at the vote despite announcing that she was positive for the Wuhan coronavirus just Dec. 28.
.@RepGwenMoore will be attendance for speaker vote today, per her office. Moore announced she had tested positive for Covid on Dec. 28. [Moore] has worked with doctors and is safe to travel, said an aide.
Moore also announced that she didn’t have a negative test yet, but had been cleared to come in by a doctor.
According to CDC guidelines, even if she didn’t have symptoms (and we don’t know that she didn’t) she would still have to wait, assuming she announced shortly after her positive test.
