In 2023, the DLCC helped win full legislative control in Virginia by defending the Democratic majority in the state Senate and flipping the House of Delegates blue. This year, the stakes are high as we gear up for the first major electoral test of the Trump 2.0 era. Every seat in the state House is up for reelection and Virginia voters have an opportunity to elect a Democratic trifecta.
The DLCC has already put $100,000 into Virginia to build the early infrastructure we’ll need to hold and expand on our single-seat House majority, and we will play a key role in guiding the districts, strategy, and investments that lead Democrats to victory in one of the nation’s most important battleground states.
Thanks to the DLCC’s concerted efforts, Democrats already have victories to celebrate in two majority-making special elections that happened in January.
After winning his January special election, JJ Singh is ready to give back to the community by serving in the Virginia House.
Kannan Srinivasan won a special election for a seat in the Virginia Senate to protect Democrats’ majority in the chamber.
In 2025, Virginia Democrats used their majorities to vote on constitutional amendments that would enshrine abortion rights, secure marriage equality, and protect and expand voting rights.
The DLCC’s first batch of Virginia general election Spotlight Candidates will be released this spring, along with more information about our targeted races. The Northern Virginia exurbs, Richmond capital region, and southeast Virginia are perennial battlegrounds where we expect races to be decided by the slimmest of margins.
