Congratulations to Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger for a history-making campaign and commanding victory last night! I first became aware of Abigail in 2018 during her initial campaign for Congress. I was managing a race in an adjacent district and one of my daily concerns was her extremely energetic and constantly growing campaign exciting volunteers from our district and scooping them away. Even then as a first time candidate with no political experience, I realized that she was a force of nature. I’m so excited for all Virginians and the leadership that they’ll get to witness firsthand. Her campaign has been laser focused on improving people’s lives and addressing affordability concerns and I know her and her team will do all they can to meet this moment. We were also honored to host Governor-elect Spanberger this past summer and wish her and her team nothing but success over the next four years.
