"State Senator Toddy Puller announced today that she is retiring after this legislative session. Toddy is a tremendous leader in Richmond and a tireless advocate for her constituents. Toddy has been a fierce advocate for our veterans and military families, and she has been a leader in efforts to address Northern Virginia transportation challenges. She also has been a trusted advisor to me, and one of my very best friends, for nearly two decades. I salute her on 23 years of public service, and thank her for making Fairfax, Prince William, and indeed the entire Commonwealth a better place to live and work."
