Just 257 votes. Less than 1%. That’s how close our campaign came here in Virginia’s 34th House of Delegates district. We nearly unseated an entrenched 15-year incumbent Republican in a Trump +7 district that hasn’t elected a Democrat since 1985.
The folks here are hard-working, resilient, loyal, and proud. We have families who have been farming this Valley for generations, and a diverse immigrant community that helps define the culture of our district. I decided to run for this seat–just a few days before the April filing deadline, when it appeared no one else was ready to step forward–because I love this land, I love my neighbors, and I am sick of seeing corporations bleed both land and people dry to increase their profits.
We deserve better, and we’re going to keep fighting for it.
