WHY THIS RACE

Re-electing Delegate Shelly Simonds is essential to maintaining and strengthening the Democratic majority in Virginia's House of Delegates.

Her continued leadership ensures that Virginia remains committed to progressive values and responsive governance.


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.
