New Virginia Majority's members have spoken. Through our democratic Leadership Council process, we've endorsed candidates who will fight alongside us to create a Virginia that works for all of us, with a specific focus on addressing our housing crisis, protecting immigrant communities, and advancing economic justice.
The role of our delegates has never been more important. When they return to session in January, they'll face the challenge of protecting Virginians from federal attacks on healthcare, housing systems, education, and more. By electing a progressive majority in the House—alongside a governor and attorney general who align with our values—we position ourselves to not just defend against attacks, but to advance bold policies that center our communities.
Our Member-Driven Endorsement Process
New Virginia Majority's endorsements aren't made in back rooms by political insiders. Our Leadership Council—composed of members from working-class communities of color across Virginia—reviews questionnaires, conducts interviews, and makes recommendations based on candidates' alignment with our core priorities, especially affordable housing.
"We’re excited to roll up our sleeves and get to work letting Virginia’s voters know about these great candidates from now until November!" — Sakina Bennett, NVM Political Director
