But first, let’s meet them:
Delegate Alex Askew (HD-85) was born and raised in Virginia Beach. He ran to represent his community in the legislature to stand up for the issues that matter most: Affordable health care, quality education, economic opportunities, and a safe environment for all of us.

Delegate Joshua Cole (HD-28) was first elected in 2019, becoming one of the youngest representatives in Virginia.

Virginia's elections for state legislature and governor are our biggest focus for 2021. Why Virginia? Glad you asked. Thread incoming:
1) Virginia votes first. Each cycle, after a presidential or midterm election, the only states that pick their legislators and governor on the "off-year" are Virginia and New Jersey, and NJ is safely blue. We're focused on Virginia.
2) Virginia is a bellwether state, and it has recently been where big election waves for Democrats start. Our victories in 2018 and 2020 each started with big wins in Virginia the year before.

Election Day is less than 6 months away. We have no idea what that election will look like, but online registration and no-excuse absentee voting can help protect your vote while state offices and some polling places are closed.

Is your state on board? Check this thread👇
ALABAMA: You have limited absentee voting. (Want to change that? Vote in every election and support politicians who protect your voting rights.) See if you qualify here: sos.alabama.gov/alabama-votes/…
