Good stuff from Gov. Abigail Spanberger:
Ahead of Early Voting, Governor Spanberger Releases Statement on Virginia’s Redistricting Amendment
Spanberger: “Virginians Have the Opportunity to Take Action”
RICHMOND, VA — Governor Abigail Spanberger today released the following statement ahead of the start of early voting in the referendum on Virginia’s redistricting amendment.
“As early voting begins tomorrow on Virginia’s redistricting amendment, voters should know that Virginia’s approach is different. It is temporary, directly responsive to what other states decide to do, and — most importantly, it preserves Virginia’s bipartisan redistricting process for the future.
“I supported the formation of Virginia’s bipartisan redistricting commission in 2020, and that support has not changed. What has changed is what we’re seeing in states across the country — and a President who says he is ‘entitled’ to more Republican seats before this year’s midterm elections.
“Virginians have the opportunity to take action in response to this extraordinary moment in history. That’s why, as a Virginia voter, I’m voting in favor of this amendment.”
