Senate District 13’s Top Democratic Leaders Support Lashrecse Aird
PETERSBURG, VA — Today former Delegate Lashrecse Aird announced the endorsements of every elected leader in Eastern Henrico, which holds the largest number of voters in Senate District 13. Furthermore, her endorsements include Senate District 13’s top Democratic leaders throughout the richly diverse communities of Eastern Henrico County, Prince George County, Sussex County, Surry County, Charles City County, and part of Dinwiddie County, and the City of Petersburg and Hopewell.
“Our Henrico community is searching for dependable, compassionate, and principled leadership and Lashrecse Aird is that leader. Throughout her tenure in the House of Delegates, Lashrecse fought for education funding, safer communities, social equality, and always for a woman to have the right to choose. Lashrecse has my full endorsement,” said Chairman Frank Thornton.
“In 2019, I supported Joe Morrissey’s candidacy for Senate because I thought he would bring change, but instead we are facing the same struggles now as we were then. The City of Petersburg deserves a leader that is trustworthy, has lived the same struggles of the people in this community and will put the needs of our city above anything else,” said Annie Mickens, former Mayor of the City of Petersburg.
“Lashrecse Aird is a person of compassion, dedication and integrity whose ethics are driven by a strong moral compass,” said Stephen Adkins, Chief of the Chickahominy Indian Tribe.
