Lateef interview
I interviewed Dr. Babur Lateef on Tuesday about his Democratic campaign for lieutenant governor. Listen to our conversation at the top of this newsletter.
State Senator Schuyler VanValkenburg, D-Henrico, announced his endorsement of Levar Stoney for lieutenant governor.
"Central Virginia is strongest when Richmond is strongest. Over the last eight years, I've seen the city of Richmond blossom,” VanValenburg said. “Under Mayor Stoney's leadership crime has fallen, poverty has fallen, and Richmond is a destination for people from across the Commonwealth and across the nation. I can't wait to see Levar tackle the challenges facing our Commonwealth as we hold Donald Trump and Elon Musk accountable for their dismantling of our government. We need energetic and experienced leadership to face this challenge, and I know Levar Stoney is the person to provide it. I am excited to endorse him to be Virginia's next Lieutenant Governor.”
