Former Delegate Jennifer Carroll Foy’s political action committee, Virginia for Everyone, announced a new program on Thursday to help maintain the Democratic majority in the Virginia House of Delegates. 

Virginia for Everyone’s “Keep the Majority” initiative is aiming to knock 35,000 doors in key districts across the Commonwealth in a final push before election day to help get progressive candidates across the finish line. The PAC is also spearheading an effort to increase Democratic voter turnout by engaging with voters in a push to elect Democrats up and down the ticket. 

“There is so much on the line for Virginians in November — economic recovery, affordable health care, gender equality, racial equity, and so much more. The only way to build on the progress we made in the House of Delegates is to keep it blue. That’s why Virginia for Everyone is investing in key House campaigns and supporting candidates, like Terry McAuliffe, Hala Ayala, and Mark Herring who will make Virginia an even better place to live, work, and raise a family.  I’m proud to stand with these candidates and look forward to celebrating their win in November,” said Carroll Foy, founder of Virginia for Everyone. “Virginia for Everyone is proud to work alongside on-the-ground Democratic organizations in service of our shared goal of keeping Virginia blue. We’re getting it done in Virginia together.”

Over the course of the final three weeks before the election, Virginia for Everyone will knock 35,000 doors in support of:

• Wendy Gooditis (HD10)
• Dan Helmer (HD40)
• Elizabeth Guzman (HD31)
• Joshua Cole (HD28)
• Danica Roem (HD13)
• Kecia Evans (HD88)

Virginia For Everyone PAC has also supported the following candidates with field and fundraising support:

• Jennifer Kitchen (HD25)
• Nadarius Clark (HD79)
• Finale Norton (HD100)
• Derek Kitts (HD7)
• Briana Sewell (HD51)
• Kelly Fowler (HD21)
• Blakely Lockhart (HD56)
• Bridgette Craighead (HD9)

“Jennifer Carroll Foy’s Virginia For Everyone is mobilizing voters in my district to get to the polls so we can keep the Democratic majority and continue to increase affordable healthcare, housing, and higher education for all,” said Delegate Joshua Cole (D-28).

The election in Cole’s district is one of the most contentious races in Virginia in a year when the Commonwealth is expecting increased Republican turnout due to backlash from the 2020 Presidential election.

Democrats currently hold a 55-45 majority in the House of Delegates, but that could change after November’s election. With seven races that are considered toss-ups, Republicans could regain a majority in the lower chamber of the Virginia General Assembly.
