🚨A wonderful Democratic candidate has filed to run for Va. HD 100 in 2027. This HD includes a portion of Va. Beach, & all of Northampton & Accomack counties. Only 4/100 Va. HDs remain uncontested by Dems in the 2027 cycle. This will help all of Virginia’s 2026 Democratic candidates.🎯
Cindy Green for VA House District 44
@cgreen2024.bsky.social
I believe that democracy only works when we all participate. I’m stepping up to run for the Virginia House of Delegates because I believe District 44 deserves to have a choice on the ballot this November. https://linktr.ee/CindyGreen4VA

🚨Interesting Va. Politics ! A GOP state senate challenger just filed in Va. Beach. 🚨And, (D) candidates have initial filings in ~ 94% of the 140 LDs on the 2027 ballot, while (R) candidates have filings in ~ 42% of the 140 LDs. Will that affect the 2026 elections ? 🤷🏽♀️ www.vpap.org/elections/st...

🚨“Their presence changed the election… Candidates gave Washington County Democrats a reason to knock on doors in neighborhoods the party might otherwise have ignored. They gave volunteers something tangible to organize around.” @davidphelps1.bsky.social davidphelps2015.substack.com/p/the-counti...
🚨Virginia’s 2027 election cycle will present several opportunities for @vademocrats.bsky.social to flip GOP held state senate seats. First among the “most flippable” seats is SD 24, where (R) Danny Diggs is the incumbent. Two very qualified Democrats have now filed to compete for this seat.
🚨A (D) candidate has filed to run for Va. SD 24 in 2027. SD 24 includes York Co., Williamsburg & Poquoson cities, & parts of Newport News & James City Co. This SD will likely be considered the “most flippable district” for the Dem senate caucus in the 2027 cycle. www.vpap.org/offices/stat...
🚨During Virginia’s 2025 election cycle, @donscott757.bsky.social & his (D) caucus campaign team targeted 14 GOP held HDs which they considered “flippable”. 13 of those 14 GOP held HDs “flipped”. In the 2027 cycle, there are at least 11 GOP held HDs that the speaker & the (D) caucus might target.
