McAuliffe was elected in 2013, and served as Virginia's 72nd governor from 2014 to 2018. He is running on a campaign to fight for civil and voting rights, attract businesses, provide affordable and quality health care, build a clean energy economy and improve the housing crisis.

April 2021 Two Cents (sl)
My Two Cents: Protecting the Ballot
by Steven Johnson
I’m tired. You’re tired. Were all tired. We’ve been through a ceaseless stream of elections that would have been emotionally draining even in non-pandemic times.
But there’s no rest for the weary. Not this year. Not when the right to vote is involved.
We have some terrific candidates for the General Assembly this year. Rachel Levy will represent our party proudly on the ballot this year and we need to make sure we do everything we can do to support her, and possibly flip a seat in the House of Delegates.
We cannot lose control of the House of Delegates this year. Right now, Democrats hold a 55-45 advantage, but that is tenuous at best.
Just look to our north in House District, which encompasses parts of Stafford and Prince William counties. Democrat Candi King just won a special election by 263 votes to fill Jennifer Carrol Foy’s vacated seat. Jennifer won that by more than 4,000 votes in 2019.
Little wonder, then, that elections analyst Chaz Nuttycombe sees the House as “a pure toss-up.”
What’s at stake? Education, the environment, health care …...

What’s at stake? Education, the environment, health care … all issues that we care about. We will work hard to keep the governor’s mansion so those issues remain a priority (no Senate this year).
But if Republicans gain control of the Virginia House of Delegates, we know they will have a different to-do list — measures to control ballot access. Read more
