Richmond, VA—The members of the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus (VLBC) mourn the passing of Congressman A. Donald McEachin and extend their deepest sympathies and condolences to his family, staff, friends, and colleagues.

Congressman McEachin leaves behind a long legacy of public service and success in fighting for justice, civil rights, equity, and for the protection of the environment. He was a trailblazer and a tireless leader who fought hard and paved the path for so many.
