House Speaker Thomas W. Moss Jr., D-Norfolk - This could be the
most important session of Moss's political life. His task will be to
compromise with mandate-toting Republicans but save face for
Democrats as they head into November elections.
Otherwise, the GOP could sweep into majority power and Moss would
be the first Democrat ever to lose the speaker's seat to a
Republican.
Sen. Mark L. Earley, R-Chesapeake - Earley will be the point man
for many of the governor's initiatives in the Senate, especially
welfare reform. Sen. Kenneth R. Stolle of Virginia Beach will also
be a lead blocker for the governor on criminal justice bills.
Because parole reform was tackled last year, welfare reform is
likely to be more prominent this go-around.
Del. Jerrauld C. Jones, D-Norfolk - His signature issue,
riverboat gambling, is going to be one of the key battles of the
session. Jones' challenge is to portray riverboats as a plentiful
source of revenue to help pay for tax cuts, while assuring
conservatives that legalizing gambling isn't a moral mistake. A
tricky path for an occasional hothead.
Del. Robert F. McDonnell, R-Virginia Beach - Emerging as the
leading voice of the ``God Squad'' in the House, a fresh crop of
suburban conservatives who delight in challenging the Democratic
leadership. A skillful floor debater, McDonnell will carry some of
the governor's initiatives.
Del. Glenn R. Croshaw, D-Virginia Beach - One of the leading
voices of the mainline Democrats, Croshaw will be at the heart of
that party's effort to stay in the majority. Has carried ethics
reform legislation and last fall crossed party lines to sign on as a
sponsor of the governor's parole reform plan. He'll be at the fore
of compromise efforts.
