Ken Cuccinelli wins 2008 Legislator of the Year award from The Family Foundation

On Nov. 20, 2008, The Family Foundation was thrilled to present the 2008 Legislator of the Year Award to state Senator Ken Cuccinelli (R-37, Centreville). Cuccinelli fought to defund Planned Parenthood in the 2008 General Assembly by introducing a budget amendment in the Senate. That fight shut down the Senate for over four hours while Republicans and Democrats fought within their own caucuses. Ultimately, the vote was a 20-20 tie with Lt. Governor Bill Bolling casting the deciding vote in favor of the amendment. The budget amendment, unfortunately, was not included in the final budget.

Senator Cuccinelli has been an advocate for property rights, life, marriage and many other values in his time in the state Senate. We were pleased to be able to honor him.
