DLCC: Momentum Is With Virginia Democrats on Primary Election Night
WASHINGTON— Tonight, fresh off the heels of setting a new record for early primary voting turnout and outraising their Republican counterparts by more than double, Virginia House of Delegates candidates are starting off the general election in a strong position.
The DLCC has a battle-tested strategy in Virginia that includes an ongoing seven-figure investment and a focus on eight target races so far, where winners were decided by as few as 53 votes last cycle. Democrats’ one-seat majority is Virginians’ strongest defense against the chaos in Washington and is a top priority for the DLCC to protect and expand this fall.
“Momentum for state Democrats in Virginia continues to grow as our candidates outraise and outwork their Republican opponents. State legislative Democrats are standing up for working families, veterans, and seniors across the Commonwealth while Virginia Republicans refuse to condemn their party’s attempts to cut Medicaid for millions of Americans. Virginia voters are paying close attention – that’s why they turned out in record numbers to support Democratic candidates tonight. The DLCC is full steam ahead in our work to protect and expand our one-seat majority in the Virginia House and strengthen the state legislative firewall.”
The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) is the campaign arm of Democratic state legislatures and leads the national strategy for building power and winning new majorities. Over the last three decades, we have strategized cycle over cycle to win majorities and lead the effort to bring national attention and investment to our ballot level, winning nearly a dozen new chamber majorities over the last decade. Our work has ensured that nearly half of Americans are represented by at least one Democratic majority in their statehouse. State legislatures are the building blocks of our democracy and have the closest connections to Americans’ day-to-day lives. From protecting fundamental freedoms and voting rights to growing the middle class and advancing opportunity, the DLCC and state legislators are moving the Democratic agenda forward and shaping the future of this country.
