The Democratic Party of Virginia (DPVA) Chairwoman Susan Swecker released the following statement after Sen. Donald McEachin was pronounced the winner in Virginia’s 4th Congressional District Election:

“I want to congratulate Donald McEachin on his win in Virginia’s 4th Congressional District. From community leader, to the House of Delegates, to State Senator, and now Congressman - Donald is a proven leader who fights for all Virginians. Our Virginia Democratic family is proud of his achievements, and look forward to what lies ahead for the 4th Congressional District’s new Representative.

“Donald McEachin’s victory has given voice to thousands of Virginians who were silenced due to racial gerrymandering.”
