• Chris LaCivita, a Virginia-based GOP operative helping run former President Donald Trump’s campaign, said he’s going to make Virginia congressman Bob Good “unelectable.” Good, a hard-right figure facing a primary challenge from pro-Trump Sen. John McGuire, endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president.—Cardinal News

• Responding to a court order, Richmond school officials released an investigative report on the deadly shooting at last year’s Huguenot High School graduation ceremony. The report shows school staff members were aware of earlier conflicts and threats of violence surrounding Shawn Jackson, the graduate who was fatally shot, but allowed him to attend graduation anyway.—WTVR
• Democrats in the Virginia Senate will wait until 2025 to push high-profile constitutional amendments dealing with abortion access, felon voting rights and same-sex marriage.—Associated Press
