On Tuesday, January 14, 2025 Loudoun County, VA Chapter Leader Suzanne Satterfield joined Independent Women Ambassador Riley Gaines and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson’s press conference following the House passage of the Protection of Women & Girls in Sports Act.
Suzanne said, “I am proud to support of HB1809 and SB749 which protects female athletes from having males playing on female designated teams and show Virginia athletes and parents that our state cares about their wellbeing and future.
We know all too well in Loudoun County that girls have had sporting opportunities stolen from them by males. The damage to female athletes extends beyond the court and into the locker room as these males are also given full access to the girls locker room where their privacy is completely violated. It needs to stop and these bills ensure it does.”
