First Lady Suzanne S. Youngkin Introduction  

A Texas native but a Virginian at heart, Suzanne S. Youngkin is proud to serve alongside her husband, the 74th  Governor of Virginia as the First Lady.  

While together they are committed to uplifting all persons and communities in Virginia, the First Lady is laser  focused on the needs of Virginia’s women and girls – including, fighting the scourge of fentanyl, improving  access to mental and behavioral healthcare, encouraging workforce preparedness and connecting Virginians  with resources for wellbeing. 

With a background in communications and a heart for all persons made in the image of God, Suzanne is  committed to using her voice to shine a light on the goodness happening in the Commonwealth as well as  standing up for the disenfranchised.  

She also cherishes welcoming people to Richmond’s Executive Mansion and traversing Virginia meeting with  and listening to constituents.  

As the mother of four, young adult children and an active participant in charitable activities that benefit youth,  faith-based organizations, higher learning institutions, artists and arts education, as well as animals and nature,  Suzanne prioritizes service to others. 

In representing the people of the Commonwealth, Suzanne hopes to leave a legacy of kindness and hope  throughout Virginia. Knowing it would not be possible without the love and support of all who live, work and  raise their families here, Suzanne is grateful for every person gathered here today and is humbled to serve as  your First Lady.
