I am Delegate Elizabeth Guzman.

I came to this country as a single mother with $300 in my pocket.

I worked three jobs. No one had to tell me the struggle. I lived it.

That is why I’ve taken on the toughest fights:

[Clips from speeches]

… to have the minimum wage increase

… Black lives matter, and so do Black livelihoods

… To those who are blocking the Equal Rights Amendment: Go home, and explain this to your daughters.

In the House of Delegates, I led the fight for paid sick leave, workers’ rights, and public education.

I’ve put wins on the Board in the House, and I am ready to do it in the Senate.

We need more women in the Senate to protect abortion rights and to keep our children safe from guns.

Whether you are in Stafford, Dale City, Dumfries, Triangle, Nokesville, Manassas or Quantico, I will show up and fight for you.
