Metro Weekly about her decision to run.“Given my track record of winning three elections, including flipping the seat of the self-described ‘chief homophobe’ who had been in office for 13 terms, or 26 years, I know how to win very competitive, very hard fought races,” she adds, referring to her 2017 unseating of longtime Del. Bob Marshall, whose name remains enshrined in Virginia’s constitution as the co-author of a voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage.“At the same time, my record on constituent service is strong,” Roem says.
“And the fact that 16 of my 18 existing precincts for the House of Delegates happen to be in that new Senate district, the only way for me to continue serving most of my existing constituents is to run for Senate, because my House of Delegates district is being carved into three different districts right now.”Roem has already been endorsed by all four of the state senators — all Democrats — currently representing parts of Prince William County, as well as by the LGBTQ Victory Fund, which advocates for greater LGBTQ representation in public office. “Since becoming the first out trans state legislator in U.S. history, Danica has proven herself a brilliant lawmaker, courageous advocate, and inspiring leader.
Her voice in the Virginia House of Delegates has been critical for her constituents and transformative for our community,” Annise Parker, the president and CEO of LGBTQ Victory Fund, said in a statement. “Danica proves that despite the dark chapter we find ourselves in, there is much to look forward to.

this long in an industrial bakery watching the two managers fill out EU grant applications?Soon enough the corners come together and the shape becomes more clear as the part-Roma, part-German Matthias (Marin Grigore) returns to his native Transylvania town either to make amends with his estranged wife Ana (Macrina Barladeanu) or, failing that, to rekindle the flame with former mistress Csilla (Judith State). By way of filial duties, Matthias also has to deal with an ailing father (whose need for an MRI — RMN in Romanian — gives the film its title) and a son too shell-shocked by that unknown forest sight to speak.But the film is just as much Csilla’s story, following the native Hungarian as she carves out a comfortable middle-class existence, devoting herself to her EU-assisted startup and sacrificing whatever personal projects she might have in order to gain affluence in a post-industrial town whose long-shuttered mine has left both water source and the hearts of the men who lost their jobs poisoned for good.Even as the “who” comes sharper into focus, we still can’t quite crack the “why.” Why do we follow Matthias through a seemingly aimless series of encounters as he and his fellow townsfolk debate the finer points of Romanian history? Why do we spend so much time with Csilla as she posts a series of job listings (“Don’t mention the salary,” advises her boss) on every door in town? And why the urgent need to underline every character’s particular ethnic background?The answer — call it a skeleton key — comes at the one-hour mark upon the arrival of three Sri Lankan migrants to fill the still-vacant posts.
Every parent’s worst nightmare!
First touted last November, the purpose of this bill is to set a new high bar compelling prosecutors to show “clear and convincing evidence” that a defendant’s rap song, video, or other “creative expression” is “literal, rather than figurative or fictional”.Led by Brad Hoylman (D-Manhattan) and Jamaal Bailey (D-The Bronx), the bill – called ‘Rap Music On Trial’ and dubbed Senate Bill S7527 – has received support since the idea was raised from Jay-Z, Run The Jewels‘ Killer Mike, Meek Mill and more.The bill will now aim to pass through the New York State Assembly in order to become a law.The passing of the bill comes as YSL rappers Young Thug and Gunna have been charged in Georgia, with a large amount of prosecutors’ case against them being taken from their song lyrics.Both rappers were named in a 28-person grand jury indictment and charged with conspiracy to violate the state of Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.The indictment centres around the YSL record label and collective, allegedly formed by Thug – real name Jeffery Lamar Williams – in 2012, which authorities claim is a “criminal street gang”.
