In only three 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.
Ned Gallaway currently serves as the chair of the Albemarle County School Board. Throughout his time on the board Ned has earned a reputation as a tireless advocate for teachers and students. Ned is running for the State Senate because Richmond just isn't doing enough to make sure all of our kids get a world class education. Every year in our counties we are forced to deal with regulations from bureaucrats that mean teachers are forced to teach to a test instead of helping students learn individually. Ned is dedicated to serving his community, and is a hardworking husband and father who has shown leadership at elected office. Ned knows how to solve problems and get results, just what we need in the Virginia Senate.
