 Smuzzle voiced strong support for the Virginia Military Survivors and Dependents Education Program. She didn't mention Lucas or even the Senate, but rather touted legislation introduced in the House. And Lucas viewed Smuzzle's comment as a slight, replying on social media, telling Smuzzle to, quote, stay the hell out of my and House Speaker Don Scott's business. In a response to that response, Smuzzle said in a statement that she will always fight for military families and veterans.
