In only four 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.
Some of the most important decisions affecting our families—decisions that affect us daily and on the most basic level of our lives—are hashed out and turned into law in the Virginia General Assembly. Will the decisions made there help you and your family succeed, or will they help lobbyists and special interest groups? Right now, the odds are against you and in favor of big corporations, big dollar donors, and the energy monopolies.
That is why I am running for the Virginia House of Delegates. I want to make sure that you come first...that your interests come before powerful special interest groups.
