"Ryant Washington will be a change-maker for Virginia's 22nd Senatorial District by fighting for good-paying jobs, affordable healthcare, education,  and other critical issues facing the Commonwealth. Ryant is a respected public servant with a strong background in public safety with decades of experience in law enforcement as a state trooper, deputy sheriff, and Fluvanna County Sheriff. He's always been a fighter for the people he serves and during his campaign, he'll paint a clear vision for moving the Commonwealth forward."

"I'd also like to commend Katie Webb Cyphert on her hard-fought effort during the caucus. She's been an asset to her community as an educator, and an asset to our party in Lynchburg - and we look forward to collaborating with her as we gear up for 2017."
