Jay Jones: “The Question I Want To Get Asked Is What Does The Attorney General's Office Actually Do – Because So many people have no idea what the ag can do for you in this moment. And I will just say it's a civil litigation office, it is an office that is supposed to work for people, to go afer the price gougers, The Corporate Landlords, the Corporate Polluters, the Big Pharmaceutical Companies, to Protect Civil Rights and Civil Liberties and Including A Woman.

Shannon Taylor: “We are currently knowing whether it is Elon Musk and Donald Trump, whether it is the Dogenmätchen or the execution commands that come from the White House, every action affects the nation directly, but definitely Virginia. And we have a general prosecutor who does nothing. Below with vitriol and threatened organizations and institutions if they do not follow the executive. Leading the largest law firm in this state to protect Virginians?

Aaron Rouse: “I know myself for the governor of Leutnant because we need a fighter, we need someone who can defend themselves against Donald Trump and Elon Musk and what they are trying to do to undermine our democracy, and the rights of citizens not only in Virginia, but in our whole nation. Only candidate with local and state experience and an effective recording … so I will do things by Senator Louise Lucas, the chairman of our Senate, as well as Senator Mamie Locke and our former majority leader Dick Saslaw and over 12 mayors support in our Commonwealth.

Babur Lateef: “I am the current chairman of the School Authority of Prince William County and has been a practicing opthalmologist in Prince William County for the past 25 years. As chairman of the school authority of Prince William County, we have a 61% increase in the greatest increase in 7-elevers … The General Assembly has adopted the three constitutional changes well … To protect reproductive freedom, to restore the rights and to protect marriage equality, these further times must be passed on.

Ghazala Hashmi: “In the past six years I have had the privilege of representing a really diverse region, including Richmond and the surrounding places. I have worked every day to combat the problems that are most important for all Virginia, and mainly focus on improving our public schools, expanding access to affordable health care and protecting abortion rights, the abortion rights and spreading rights Freedom, also the Economy opportunia.

Alex Bastani: “I run on what I would like to call the Virginia Workers Freedom Act. We need universal health care for every Virginian because the reproductive rights of women are not only limited to the right to abortion, but also testing and screening. I also support $ 20 minimum wages. Studies carried out that white men who are in unions are less sexist, less racist and less homophobic.
