Republican Governor Donates His Salary To Prison Ministry – We Want ‘To Support Great And Godly Works’

Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) recently announced that he has donated his entire first quarter salary to a prison ministry in order to reach hundreds of inmates with the Word of God.

The Republican governor announced that his $43,750 will go to the Good News Jail & Prison Ministry which is “an organization dedicated to supplying faith-based resources for jails and prisons in the Commonwealth of Virginia and worldwide,” as reported by The Christian Post.

“I pledged to serve without accepting a salary to support Virginians every way I can,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin during his tour of the prison on March 31. “The Good News Jail & Prison Ministry exemplifies the heart and Spirit of Virginia by providing hope, resources, and transformational opportunities for incarcerated Virginians.”

“This administration continues to respect the law and those inside the criminal justice system with increased access to mental health services, best practices for trade skill acquisition, and by maintaining excellence in the restoration of rights process, among other priorities,” he added.

“On the eve of Second Chance Month, Glenn and I laud the life-changing mission of Good News Jail & Prison Ministry,” said First Lady Suzanne S. Youngkin. “We firmly believe that every Virginian deserves an opportunity to flourish and we are grateful for this opportunity to support great and Godly works.”

According to the Council of State Governments, the governor receives a salary of $175,000, however, Youngkin, a successful businessman, has donated his salary every quarter to worthy causes.

He donated his fourth-quarter salary last year to a nonprofit that provides job training for low-income individuals, as reported by NBC Washington.

It is clear with this donation that Gov. Youngkin is a man of God and is willing to use his own money to better the lives of others. Virginians are lucky to have him.
