Legislative Program
The Richmond Regional Planning District Commission manages a
legislative presence at the state and federal levels on behalf of
the needs shared among the nine localities of the Richmond
Region. Staff represent the Commission's interests before
elected officials and governing bodies.
The RRPDC Legislative Program is directed by
the
Communications Coordinator.

Each year, the RRPDC adopts a
legislative
agenda to guide staff on legislative issues during the following

legislative agenda throughout the year as appropriate.

Capital Region Caucus
The Capital Region Caucus is comprised of the state senators and
delegates that represent portions of the Richmond Region. The Caucus is
managed by two Co-Chairs, who are elected by their peers to serve for
two years. The Co-Chairs are nominated and elected such that both the
Senate of Virginia and the House of Delegates are represented, as well
as both political parties.
The Capital Region Caucus is staffed by the legislative staff of the
Co-Chairs, as well as the legislative liaisons from throughout the Region.
During the General Assembly Session, representatives from the counties
of Chesterfield, Hanover, and Henrico, the City of Richmond, the
Richmond Regional PDC, the Crater PDC, and the Greater Richmond Chamber
of Commerce hold periodic meetings with the Capital Region Caucus. These
meetings facilitate the exchange of information about the work of
legislative committees and study commissions, as well as activities
within each jurisdiction.
