McGuire pushes for NPS right-of-way for emergency exit route

John McGuire, who is seeking re-election, introduced the Wintergreen Emergency Egress Act in November 2025. This legislation requires the United States Department of the Interior to grant a right-of-way across certain National Park Service property. This access would allow for the construction of an additional emergency exit route for the Wintergreen community in Nelson County. During a recent rally, McGuire also credited Glenn Youngkin with helping attract $20 billion in business investment and approximately 7,000 jobs to the 5th Congressional District.

The act mandates a regulatory action requiring the National Park Service to grant access across its property for local infrastructure needs. Additionally, McGuire highlighted that Glenn Youngkin assisted him in securing significant business investment and job creation for the district.
