About Virginia Insider

Virginia Insider is straight news and honest commentary from across the Commonwealth.

I'm Uriah Kiser. I've been a local news publisher and reporter in Virginia for nearly 20 years, covering the town halls, school boards, courtrooms, and campaigns that shape daily life here. Virginia Insider takes that experience statewide.

From Northern Virginia's growth and Richmond politics to Tidewater, the Shenandoah Valley, and Southwest Virginia, I cover the stories that matter to the people who live here. That means elections, state and local government, schools, development, data centers, and the decisions that land on your tax bill.

The approach is simple: no spin and no corporate agenda. Each story starts with the facts, the documents, and the people involved. Then I give you context and my honest read on what it means. You'll always know which part is reporting and which part is opinion.

YouTube is the main home of Virginia Insider, where new videos break down the biggest Virginia stories. This site is the written home. Every video gets a sourced article, so you can read the details, check the links, and share the story.
