DPVA Chairman Senator Lamont Bagby issued the following statement on the overwhelming victories in SD-15 and HD-77:

“I am proud to congratulate Senator-elect Mike Jones and Delegate-elect Charlie Schmidt on their decisive victories, two more crucial wins for the Democratic Party of Virginia.

"Senator-elect Jones has already shown what it means to lead with results, integrity, and a deep commitment to the people he serves both in his faith work and his elected positions - delivering real progress and tangible results for our community.

“Delegate-elect Schmidt brings proven leadership as an accomplished attorney and longtime community advocate who has spent his career fighting for civil rights, supporting small businesses, and standing up for environmental justice.

"Together, these victories send a clear message: when we remain laser-focused on making Virginia more affordable and a place where all can thrive, we can win and will keep winning.”
