      Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) issued the following statement on the passing of state Senator Ben Chafin:
Senator Ben Chafin was a great legislator as well as a friend. As a native of Southwest Virginia, he cared deeply for its people and was a tremendous advocate for them in the state Senate. I will miss this good and dedicated public servant. My prayers are with his wife Lora and his family.

			 Kaine Statement on Senate Vote to Override Trump Veto of National Defense Bill 
			
			WASHINGTON, D.C.  U.S. Senator Tim Kaine, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, released the following statement after the Senate voted 81-13 tooverride President Trump's veto of the Fiscal Year 2021 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA):
I'm glad my colleagues on both sides of the aisle stood by our servicemembers and rejected President Trump's veto. For 60 years in a row, the NDAA has provided necessary support for our troops and national security. Today's vote sent a clear message that Congress will not allow President Trump to stand in the way of that support, and I'm relieved the critical bipartisan priorities we fought for will become law.
