Thank You, Vangie Williams
Candidate Vangie Williams ran a competitive campaign in 2018.
She received more than double the votes that ANY Democrat has ever received in a midterm election in VA-01 (148,363 votes in 2018 vs. 72,942 average).
We are so grateful for her courage and fighting spirit, and we look forward to seeing what the future brings!
