Official Profile
Religion: Baptist (per Ballotpedia biographical record)
Background: VA House of Delegates, HD-80 (part of Henrico). Former Communications Director, Virginia AFL-CIO. B.A. University of Richmond; M.A. George Washington Univ. First elected Nov 2023, took office Jan 2024; re-elected Nov 2025. Committees: Education; Labor & Commerce; Privileges & Elections. VPAP caucus unity 97% (2025) / 96% (2026).
VA Delegate HD-80 (Henrico), sitting since Jan 2024. [2026-06 RESOLUTE refinement, state tier] Progressive HARD record; VPAP party-unity 96-97% with no conservative-direction deviation (off-caucus votes are procedural/local — speed cameras, alcohol delivery, paid-sick-leave mechanics). Life: ReproRising 2025 = A+ 'Champion'; co-patron of the reproductive-freedom amendment; endorsed by Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia (2023). Marriage: same-sex-marriage amendment passed the House on party lines (HJR9 2025 58-35, full Democratic caucus in favor / HJ3 2026); as a 96-97%-unity Democrat she was in that majority. Election: 'waved a green flag in support of HJ2' (voting-rights amendment) Jan 2025 — recorded, but not mapped to the ballot-mechanics election-integrity cells. 2A: only a SOFT progressive-guide 'gun violence prevention' framing with no specific bill and no individual Giffords grade (Giffords scores states, not delegates) — left null, not inferred. Family/child, Christian liberty, federal overreach, immigration, public justice: no isolated roll-call — left null. Baptist (biographical).
sheriff-roy correction 2026-08-16: HD-80. HB217 assault-weapons ban. self_defense[1] was blank.

1 claim
On 14 January 2025, the Virginia House of Delegates passed HJR 1 — the Right to Reproductive Freedom constitutional amendment — by a strict 51-48 party-line vote, with every Democratic delegate voting yes. LeVere Bolling (D-Henrico, District 80), serving her second term, voted yes along with her entire caucus. The amendment would enshrine in Virginia's constitution a sweeping right to abortion at all stages of pregnancy, foreclosing any life-from-conception protection under state law.
