In a recent interview with NBC12, DPVA Chairwoman Susan Swecker said ahead of November’s statewide and House of Delegates elections, it is crystal clear that Republicans are choosing to side with Donald Trump over the livelihoods of Virginians.

While Governor Glenn Youngkin, Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, Attorney General Jason Miyares, and Republicans across the Commonwealth refuse to take a stand against Donald Trump’s harmful workforce cuts and reconciliation bill that threatens Medicaid funding, Swecker said that Democrats “will stand up every day” to protect Virginians.

NBC12: DPVA Chairwoman Swecker Says Democrats Standing Up to Protect Virginians While Republicans Stay Silent

• “Virginia Democrats are hoping to sweep all three statewide offices up for grabs this year, including the Commonwealth’s next governor.”

• “Democratic Party of Virginia Chairwoman Susan Swecker says not only do they plan to hold the House of Delegates, but they hope to increase those numbers.”

• “There’s a very clear theme for this fall’s election and it is, ‘Whose side are you on,’” Swecker said. “We are going to stand up every day and every time Elon Musk and Donald Trump come through with another chainsaw to hurt folks, we are going to stand up for them.”

• “Tens of thousands of federal workers and contractors call Virginia home. Some have already lost their jobs and for others, their employment is uncertain.”
