Del. Lacey Putney Named “Legislator of the Year”

In a press release, the Virginia Governmental Employees Association (VGEA) announced that it has named Del. Lacey Putney (I-19th) the “Legislator of the Year”

“…to show our appreciation for his ongoing and active support of the Commonwealth’s employees and retirees,’ stated J. Marshall Terry, VGEA president…. ‘He deserves to be recognized for his outstanding dedication to our state’s loyal workforce.”

This is only the third time in two decades that the VGEA has presented this award; Del. Putney was the recipient of it once before. Putney’s status as chairman of the House Appropriations Committee make will make him a pivotal figure when the General Assembly reconvenes next week and begins debate on Gov. McDonnell’s proposed budget amendments, including his plan to require state employees to contribute five percent of their annual salaries to their retirement. Despite his advanced age, Putney remains a tenacious foe of the General Assembly’s tax-and-spend liberals and a vigorous proponent of fiscal conservatism.

To read Del. Putney’s thoughts on the upcoming session and the budget battles looming in Richmond, the Bedford Bulletin has an interview with him here.

Lacey Putney, aged 82, is the longest-serving member of the Virginia General Assembly and even more unique, the longest consecutively serving state legislator in the United States. He was first elected to the Virginia House of Delegates as a Democrat in 1962. After he left the Democratic Party in 1968, Putney met President Nixon in the Oval Office. Although he has remained an Independent, Putney has caucused with the House Republicans ever since leaving the Democratic Party and is generally reelected by comfortable margins. Del. Putney has not yet indicated if he will seek another term this November.
