Sister District for Phil Hernandez (VA HD 94)

Delegate Phil Hernandez proudly represents Virginia’s 94th District. A lifelong Hampton Roads resident, he and his wife, Sara, are raising their family in Ocean View, where they are deeply invested in the community’s future.

The first in his family to graduate college, Phil earned a Gates Millennium Scholarship to attend William & Mary. He later served as a senior policy advisor in President Obama’s White House and worked as a civil rights attorney, advocating for economic opportunity and fairness.

Since his election, Phil has fought to raise teacher pay, invest in public schools, lower taxes for families, and expand economic opportunity. As a father, he is committed to building a brighter future for all Norfolk families. He was named the 2024 “Rookie Legislator of the Year” by the Virginia Education Association and, in his first term, sent 15 bills to the Governor’s desk. Phil has also been an advocate for people with disabilities, including by delivering the first ever speech on the floor of the House of Delegates in American Sign Language (ASL).

WHY THIS RACE

Re-electing Delegate Phil Hernandez is essential for upholding progressive values and securing a majority in the House of Delegates. A Hampton Roads native and former senior policy analyst in the Obama Administration, has been a steadfast advocate for fully funding public education, expanding access to affordable healthcare, and protecting reproductive rights. His leadership is key to defending the progress we’ve made, pushing for policies that support working families, and ensuring Virginia remains a leader in protecting fundamental rights.

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.
