Democrats in the House of Delegates released a handful of their first prefiled bills Monday, ahead of the 2026 General Assembly session, with a focus on the cost of living.

The bill topics range from a minimum wage increase to upgrades for electric utilities to weatherization to paid sick leave. Constitutional amendments regarding abortion access, same-sex marriage, restoration of voting rights for formerly incarcerated people and a new congressional redistricting effort were also included in the slate of legislation.
