RICHMOND, Va. — President Barack Obama today endorsed Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger in her campaign to serve as the next Governor of Virginia.
In two new digital ads targeted to Virginia voters, President Obama highlights Spanberger’s commitment to lowering costs and always putting Virginians first — particularly as Trump and Republicans in Congress support policies that raise healthcare, mortgage, and electricity costs. The ads also highlight Spanberger’s record of protecting Virginians’ fundamental rights — including their voting rights and the right of women to make their own healthcare decisions.

“An Economy That Works for Everyone”
President Barack Obama: Virginia’s elections are some of the most important in the country this year and I am proud to endorse Abigail Spanberger for Governor.
Republican policies are raising costs on working families so billionaires can get massive tax cuts.
As Governor, Abigail will stand up for Virginia families. She’ll work to build an economy that works for everyone, not just big corporations and the wealthy.
But it won’t happen without you. Every vote counts, so turn out and vote for Abigail Spanberger for Governor on November 4th.
“Protect Our Rights”
President Barack Obama: Virginia’s elections are some of the most important in the country this year. We know Republicans will keep attacking abortion rights and the rights of women.
That’s why having the right Governor matters and I’m proud to endorse Abigail Spanberger.
In Congress, Abigail held Republicans accountable and fought to protect voting rights and abortion rights.
But it won’t happen without you. Every vote counts, so turn out.
Virginia, Abigail Spanberger is the best choice for Governor. Vote for her on November 4th.
