Sister District for Lily Franklin (VA HD 41)

Lily Franklin comes from five generations of family who have lived in Southwest Virginia (SWVA). This is her home, and she wants it to be the best possible place to raise a family, live, and retire.


Her SWVA roots run deep—she knows that Virginia doesn’t end in Charlottesville and has shared in the pain of neglect with her neighbors. Lily and her brother both graduated from Northside High School. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Longwood University while her brother started a small business in Christiansburg.


Lily brings a proven record, established contacts, and an in-depth knowledge of the inner workings of our Commonwealth’s government to work for SWVA. She understands the challenges the region faces because she lives there. And she can deliver real solutions from Richmond because she’s worked there.


WHY THIS RACE

Lily Franklin is running again in 2025 after narrowly losing the 2023 election for Virginia's 41st House District by just 183 votes. A former high school math teacher and chief of staff for Delegate Sam Rasoul, Franklin has been a dedicated advocate for affordable housing, accessible childcare, and quality education. Flipping this seat is crucial for Democrats to strengthen their majority in the House of Delegates and continue advancing progressive policies in Virginia.


WHY VIRGINIA

Democrats must defend our House majority to keep Virginia a firewall against right-wing extremism. With momentum on our side, we can win key swing districts and build power for 2026. We also have a major opportunity to take back the Governor’s office and statewide seats, securing Virginia’s future as a stronghold for democracy.
