Elizabeth Guzman is running in House District 31, a seat in Northern Virginia that Hillary Clinton won 54-42, against GOP Del. Scott Lingamfelter, an eight-term incumbent. Guzman, who would be the first Latina elected to the Virginia General Assembly, is a public administrator and social worker. She has a keen understanding of how difficult it can be for a working family to make ends meet: She emigrated from Peru as a single mom in search of a better life for her family and once juggled three jobs. She supports increasing the state’s minimum wage and will advocate for bigger investments in early childhood education programs.

Lingamfelter, on the other hand, favors throwing the state’s weight around to prevent cities and localities from raising their own minimum wage. He’s also a consistent opponent of reproductive rights and co-sponsored legislation that would foster censorship in the state’s public schools.

Cheryl Turpin is vying to unseat seven-month incumbent Rocky Holcomb in House District 85, a seat in Virginia Beach that Trump carried by less than half a point. Daily Kos was proud to back Turpin in a special election this past January, when she lost this historically Republican seat by a surprisingly small margin. Now she’s back for another try, and we’re going to help her finish the job. Turpin is an environmental science teacher, a career that not only makes her an ardent advocate for public education, but also a fighter for policies that combat climate change and promote clean water—two crucial priorities for this coastal community.

In the few short months he’s been in office, meanwhile, Holcomb has supported legislation that protects companies that dump toxins into the Chesapeake Bay and diverts money away from public education and shunts it to private and for-profit schools. Holcomb also voted for the infamous and could-it-have-even-been-more-heinously-named? “Day of Tears” resolution, which called for flags to be flown at half-staff on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

Schuyler VanValkenburg is running in House District 72, an open seat in the Richmond suburbs that hasn’t seen a contested election in a decade, even though Clinton won here 49-44. VanValkenburg is a high school government teacher with a first-hand appreciation of the importance of quality, fully-funded public education. He knows that affordable school and vocational training are key to Virginia’s continued success in the 21st-century economy, and he supports expanding Medicaid to ensure as many Virginians as possible have access to health care.

VanValkenburg’s GOP opponent, Eddie Whitlock, is a debt collection attorney who opposes Medicaid expansion and believes the Affordable Care Act should be eliminated entirely. He supports voucher programs that steal money from public education, and he has the highest possible rating from the NRA.
