In only six short weeks Virginia voters will go to the polls and select State Senators and Delegates. This is an especially critical election.
House: 67 Republicans vs. 33 Democrats
Senate: 21 Republicans vs. 19 Democrats
Republicans are in the majority in both bodies; a flip of 1 seat in the Senate makes a tie - which is broken by the Lt. Gov., Northam, a D, giving the Ds effective, if only narrow, control. A Senate majority is achievable this cycle for the Ds; a house majority may take 3 or more cycles.
But we must fight for every seat we can in each cycle.

Don Shaw is a 20-year veteran of the Army and Air Force, a former Department of Defense employee, and now works for a veteran-owned small business. Don is running against Republican incumbent Bob Marshall.
Virginia has a proud military tradition that dates back to before our nation was founded. As a veteran myself, I understand the unique challenges veterans face. I will work to improve the level of support the Commonwealth provides to our veterans, which includes better physical and mental healthcare services, as well as transition assistance. A key component to providing many of these services is expanding Medicaid, which I support. I will also support Governor McAuliffe's efforts to eliminate veteran homelessness in Virginia.
