News from the Fifth District Democrats
A Message from Patricia Harper-Tunley, Chairwoman,
Fifth Congressional District Democratic Committee
​​It is my honor and privilege to congratulate the voters and volunteers of the great Commonwealth of Virginia for understanding the mission — to elect a statewide Democratic ticket and 13 additional seats in the House of Delegates that puts Virginians first as we navigate the challenges of the current administration.
​
Congratulations to our newly elected leaders:
-
Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger
-
Lt. Governor-elect Ghazala Hashmi
-
Attorney General-elect Jay Jones​
​
​Each of them ran an incredible campaign grounded in service, integrity, and a commitment to improving the lives of all Virginians. Together, they have made history — with our first woman Governor, our first Muslim woman Lt. Governor, and our first black man as Attorney General.
​
This is a moment of pride, progress, and purpose for our Commonwealth.
​
Again, congratulations — and let’s get ready to do it again!
​
Success is the only option.
