Richmond, VA – Congratulations to the REPRO Rising Virginia PAC-endorsed candidates who won their races yesterday across the Commonwealth! It looks like Virginians are sending several new and returning reproductive freedom fighters to Congress in January; and one new repro champion is headed to the Virginia House of Delegates! 

“Virginians have spoken loud and clear – reproductive freedom is a Virginia value! And to back up the Constitutional Amendment for Reproductive Freedom, they’re sending some true champions to congress to protect access to abortion, birth control, and healthcare,” said Tarina Keene, executive director of REPRO Rising Virginia. “We’re grateful to the candidates who ran tough races and supported accessible, affordable reproductive healthcare for all, and we’re excited to work alongside them to expand and protect that care. Our work is far from done!”

Congratulations to these REPRO Rising Virginia PAC-endorsed candidates who have won election and re-election: 

  • Shannon Taylor (CD-1) 
  • Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan (CD-4) 
  • Congressman Eugene Vindman (CD-7) 
  • Congressman Don Beyer (CD-8) 
  • Congressman Suhas Subramanyam (CD-10) 
  • Congressman James Walkinshaw (CD-11) 
  • Councilwoman Sonia Vásquez Luna (HD-20) 

REPRO Rising Virginia PAC would also like to thank our endorsed candidates who ran strong campaigns in tough districts, standing up for reproductive freedom. We’re confident that they will continue to advocate for affordable, accessible care for all Virginians. We think we’ll be seeing much more of them in the future:

  • Beth Macy (CD-6) 
  • Joy Powers (CD-9)
