In only five short weeks Virginia voters will go to the polls and select State Senators and Delegates. This is an especially critical election.
House: 67 Republicans vs. 33 Democrats
Senate: 21 Republicans vs. 19 Democrats
Republicans are in the majority in both bodies; a flip of 1 seat in the Senate makes a tie - which is broken by the Lt. Gov., Northam, a D, giving the Ds effective, if only narrow, control. A Senate majority is achievable this cycle for the Ds; a house majority may take 3 or more cycles.
But we must fight for every seat we can in each cycle.
Jill is a pediatrician, not a politician. Polarizing politics are paralyzing our government, and the state legislature is no exception. As a doctor and medical administrator, she faces challenging situations and creating gridlock is not an option. And that will be her approach in Richmond. Jill is not interested in playing partisan games. She’ll make commonsense decisions to move Virginia forward.
I’ll keep this brief. We have a BIG election coming up on November 3rd, and we need your help now more than ever to make sure that we’re electing strong and bold voices, so we can keep Virginia moving forward.We can’t afford to subject our hard-working families in Virginia to the same old GOP nonsense. We just need to win ONE MORE SEAT in the Virginia state senate to have a Democratic majority and get things done.
