DLCC invests another $1.5 million into Virginia state elections
On Wednesday, The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee announced an additional $1.5 million investment into Virginia’s state elections this year.
While the organization typically supports legislative candidates in states around the country, this year it is also boosting Virginia lieutenant governor candidate Sen. Ghazala Hashmi, D-Chesterfield. Lieutenant governors preside over the state Senate and become an extension of the legislature when they need to cast tie-breaking votes.
Hashmi expressed gratitude in a statement to The Mercury for DLCC’s work to “support Democratic candidates up and down the ballot.”
The new cash infusion is part of DLCC’s ongoing seven-figure investment in Virginia to help protect or expand Democrats’ majority. This year, all 100 seats in the House of Delegates are up for election, with Democrats running in every district.
