RICHMOND, Va. — Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger today released the following statement as early voting starts in Virginia’s 2025 primary elections.

“In the coming weeks, tens of thousands of Virginians will cast their votes in the Commonwealth’s June primary elections. I want to remind Virginians that your vote is your voice — casting a ballot is how you can directly contribute to realizing the future you want to see for your community.

“At this moment when the Commonwealth is facing unprecedented uncertainty, Virginians who believe — like I do — that Virginians deserve better have an opportunity to build strength and momentum. Getting out to vote over the next 45 days is the first step toward electing Democratic candidates up and down the ballot who will put Virginia’s schools, workforce, and economy first.

Today, I join all Virginians in thanking the election workers, law enforcement officers, and volunteers who keep our elections safe, secure, and successful. And to candidates across Virginia, I wish you the best of luck in your respective races.”
