Delegate Sam Rasoul files paperwork for 2021 Lieutenant Governor bid

The field for Virginia’s Lieutenant Governor just received another entrant.

According to @vpapupdates, Roanoke Delegate Sam Rasoul filed his paperwork to raise money for a bid to become the commonwealth’s next Lieutenant Governor in 2021. He joins a crowded field that includes several local candidates such as Delegates Hala Ayala and Elizabeth Guzman.

Delegate Rasoul represents the 11th District, and back in August 2020 stated that he was considering a run. He stated at the time to Channel 10 News, “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.”

The PW Perspective will provide more details as they become available.
