Sister District 2023 Wave 2 Candidates



This year, we have an opportunity to flip the Virginia House of Delegates, expand our Democratic majority in the state senate, and stop a GOP trifecta.


  • Amy Laufer (HOD 55)
  • Travis Nembhard (HOD 22)
  • Susanna Gibson (HOD 57)
  • Russet Perry (SD 31)
  • Phil Hernandez (HOD 94)
  • Lashrecse Aird (SD 13)


These are strong progressive candidates who have what it takes to win in their competitive swing districts, but they can't do it without us.


In 2021, Democrats lost the majority in the House by a total vote difference of 733 votes in the three closest districts. The entire State Senate is up for election for four year terms. It is crucial to hold the Senate that will serve through 2027. 


The new state legislative maps are fair and provide Democrats with key opportunities in open seats and new districts. With recent Democratic wins in special Congressional and state senate elections, we have momentum to compete in key swing districts that will decide the majority in the House and put us in the position to expand the Senate.
