House Privileges and Elections Committee adopts two Senate joint resolutions on Spanberger nominees

The House Privileges and Elections Committee on May 14, 2026, adopted Senate Joint Resolution 139 and Senate Joint Resolution 140, both related to gubernatorial appointments from the Spanberger administration, by a vote of 21 to 0.

Chair (identified in the transcript only by role) opened the brief session and asked the clerk to call the roll. The chair told members the business before the panel was “two joint resolutions from the Spanberger administration’s gubernatorial appointments” and invited questions or comments; none were raised. A committee member moved to adopt the two resolutions on the block and another member seconded. The clerk then opened the rolls for a recorded vote, and the clerk announced the adoption of both resolutions on a vote of 21 to zero.

There was no reported debate, amendment or public comment on either resolution during the recorded session. After the clerk announced the tally, a member moved to adjourn, the motion was seconded, and the chair closed the meeting.

The transcript does not identify the individuals who moved or seconded the motions by name, nor does it give the nominees’ names or the specific offices addressed by SJR 139 and SJR 140.
