Virginia House Dems just shattered expectations, flipping at least 12 seats blue – the largest Democratic victory since the election of 1989. We invested early and aggressively to make this victory a reality, running candidates in all 100 districts.
Let’s be perfectly clear here: Nearly every single county in Virginia swung left in last week’s elections. Voters are rejecting Republican recklessness and electing Democrats who they know will work for them and against MAGA extremism.
Richmond area swings blue in statewide wave
Even traditionally red counties like Hanover saw gains for Democrats compared with 2024.

✅Had a blue legislature delivering real results
✅Focused on the issues that matter most to Americans, like affordability
