With the retirement of Del. Gordon Helsel, R-Poquoson, and a court-ordered boundary change that brings more Democratic-leaning Hampton voters in the district, two Democrats are bidding for their party's nomination here. Hampton School Board member Martha Mugler and 2017 Democratic nominee Michael Wade both say environmental issues are at the top of their agendas. Mugler says her decade on the school board gives her insight into education policy and local government dependence on state funding; Wade, an IT expert, wants to push legislation to restore felons' voting rights as a way to address racial inequities.
