Today’s Sponsor: Virginians Against Neighborhood Slot Machines

While neighborhood slot machines are illegal in Virginia, they continue to flood our streets. These machines remain in our neighborhoods, targeting low-income communities. Our Commonwealth should enforce its ban – fully and without exceptions.

Democrats continue their fundraising advantage in House races

By Andrew Kerley

RICHMOND, Va. — Democratic candidates for the Virginia House of Delegates continue to hold a lead in the money race over their Republican counterparts as they seek to expand their 51-49 majority in November.

House Democrats raised a combined $2.3 million between June 5 and June 30 — $670,229 more than Republicans, who raised $1.6 million, according to campaign finance reports filed this week. Democrats more than doubled Republican totals in April and May.

Over 35% of Democrats’ $2.3 million June total was raised in 11 of the most competitive House districts, as well as 44% of Republicans’. Some of those districts were decided by margins of only a few hundred votes in 2023.

A look at the competitive districts

A close rematch is shaping up in House District 82, where Republican incumbent Del. Kim Taylor is catching up to her Democratic opponent Kimberly Pope Adams. Taylor raised $120,895 and reported $122,960 in cash on hand, while Adams raised $77,161 with $347,020 cash on hand. Taylor defeated Adams by a razor-thin margin of 53 votes in 2023.
