On Saturday morning, January 10, 2026, the Fairfax County Delegation to the Virginia General Assembly convened its annual Pre-Session Public Hearing, with Delegate Vivian Watts serving as chair. Over seventy residents of Fairfax County, including Board of Supervisors Chairman Jeff McKay and Mason District Supervisor Andres Jimenez—who also chairs the Board’s Legislative Committee—attended and addressed a diverse array of legislative issues.
