Mark Obenshain, a Republican who was elected to the Virginia State Senate in 2024 representing the state’s 2nd Senate district, has recently posted several updates on his social media regarding legislative issues and political developments.
On March 9, 2026, Obenshain encouraged constituents to stay informed about ongoing legislative activities by sharing a newsletter. He wrote, “Stay up to date on the session with my latest newsletter: https://t.co/aSNnwj5Rqp”.
The following day, March 10, he commented on Democratic lawmakers’ stance on firearms policy. In his post, he stated, “Democrats admit they know nothing about firearms—and still want to take away law-abiding Virginians’ constitutional right to own them. https://t.co/iocTnuTsnQ”.
Later that same day, Obenshain called for public participation in an event aimed at opposing a proposed constitutional amendment related to congressional redistricting. He posted, “Join us Monday to learn how to help defeat this constitutional amendment and stop Northern Virginia Democrats from rigging Virginia’s congressional map. https://t.co/fgDiISSs5z”.
Obenshain succeeded Mamie Locke as state senator after winning election in 2024.
