VirginiaMercury@flipboard.com

<p>The Virginia Mercury is an independent, nonprofit online news organization covering state government and policy. The Mercury launched in 2018 to bring a fresh perspective to coverage of the state&rsquo;s biggest political and policy issues and fill the gaps in statehouse reporting created by a shrinking media industry. The Mercury is part of States Newsroom, a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit supported by grants and a coalition of donors and readers. We retain full editorial independence and are a proud member of the Virginia Press Association and the Virginia Capitol Correspondents Association.</p>
