As we continue to honor 250 years across the Commonwealth and this nation, I was grateful to worship at Historic Pohick Church in Lorton this past Sunday and present a resolution recognizing this sacred place.

The Mother Church of Northern Virginia, and still a pillar of our community today. Thank you to the Pohick family and Rev. Daniel Cenci for the warm welcome.

Statement from Delegate Rozia Henson on the SCC’s Public Hearing in Fairfax Regarding the Dominion-NextEra Merger Deal

250 years ago today, the first Virginia General Assembly convened under our new state constitution. 🇺🇸

On October 7, 1776, the Senate of Virginia and the House of Delegates began a legislature that continues to this day, built on a tradition of representative government that began at Jamestown in 1619.

I have the honor of serving in the House of Delegates for the neighbors of District 19, and I marked the day at Colonial Williamsburg. I even got to sit in the Speaker’s chair in the House of Burgesses chamber at the Capitol. Built in Virginia around 1735, it has watched more than two centuries of history unfold.

Every bill we write and every vote we cast is part of the story that started in rooms like this one.

America was made in Virginia. Happy 250th.

Last Sunday I had the honor of serving as MC for an incredible event with Congressman Eugene Vindman and Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. The room was full of energy, and the message was clear. Our communities are ready to show up.

Early voting is open now and Election Day is November 3. Make a plan, bring a neighbor, and get your people to the polls.

Yesterday, I had the honor of joining neighbors, community leaders, and descendants at George Washington’s Mount Vernon for the annual wreath laying at the Slave Memorial.

This year’s theme was Hush Harbor, honoring the hidden places where enslaved people gathered in faith, community, and hope. We heard the names of those enslaved at Mount Vernon read aloud. Their labor built that estate.

Remembering shapes how we serve today. Thank you to Black Women United for Action, the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association, and everyone who helped and came out to pay their respects.

It was great to attend the 28th Annual Oktoberfest at Fort Belvoir. This has been a proud tradition on the installation for nearly three decades, bringing together soldiers, families, retirees, and civilian employees from across our community.

Thank you to Fort Belvoir Garrison Commander Col. Samuel R. Allen and Command Sgt. Maj. Brandon Creel for their leadership and for continuing to make events like this possible for the Fort Belvoir community.

January is around the corner, which means it’s time to start brainstorming what legislation I should introduce. Got an idea? Share your ideas with me!

I was honored to join the community and Scott A. Surovell at Pohick Church in Lorton today for the unveiling of a new historic marker honoring George Mason.

Mason lived nearby at Gunston Hall and served on the parish vestry here from 1749 to 1785, taking on broad civic and religious responsibilities in the community. He served four terms as churchwarden, and after the original building contractor passed away in 1771, Mason oversaw construction of the church that still stands here today, completed in 1774.

As a member of the House of Delegates, Mason went on to champion individual rights and religious freedom, work that shaped the Virginia Declaration of Rights and, later, the Bill of Rights.

I also want to hold space for the enslaved people who lived and labored in this same community, likely including those whose hands helped build the very church being honored today. Their names were rarely written down, and their contributions rarely credited. Standing here now, generations later, I carry that history with me too.

It is a reminder of how much history, in all its complexity, lives right here in District 19.
