Yesterday it was announced that Roanoke Delegate Sam Rasoul is considering a run to become Virginia’s next Lieutenant Governor.

Rasoul delivered the following statement:

“2020 has thrown everything at us. As we heal in 2021, I believe we can be bold in our convictions without tearing each other down. We can root for our teams and love the game. Over the next few weeks, I will decide whether a bid for Lieutenant Governor is the right decision for my family and Virginia.”

If he does run, he would join fellow Democrats Hala Ayala and Paul Goldman, who have both announced their candidacy earlier this year. In addition, Delegate Elizabeth Guzman announced in June an exploratory run for Lt. Governor as well.
