Our Candidates
In 2026, Virginia Democrats have fielded extraordinarily talented and dedicated candidates who care deeply about their communities, and we are committeed to helping those candidates win up and down the ballot. This November in the Staunton region, Virginians will cast their votes for candidates running for the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate, and local elections giving Americans dismayed with the Trump (and cronies) administration's attacks on our country another opportunity to register their disgust at the ballot box.
Beth Macy
for Congress
"America needs a government that works for everyone. We need jobs that pay enough to support a family, affordable health care, and an education system that helps children thrive while creating a strong workforce for the nation."
"Ben Cline enables Donald Trump because he wants to keep his job (and his cushy healthcare plan). As a result, Cline and his colleagues have given away their power and constitutional duty to be an independent branch of government. I’m running to be part of a Congress that leads again—one that supports working people who are struggling to make ends meet and striving for a better life."
"The time has come to say ENOUGH to Ben Cline and all the ways he serves billionaires while never lifting a finger to help working Virginians."
Mark Warner
for U.S. Senate
The son of a World War II Marine veteran, Mark Warner grew up in a working-class household. He attended good public schools and was the first person in his family to graduate from college – putting himself through George Washington University through a combination of jobs and student loans.
In the Senate, Mark has worked tirelessly to strengthen America’s economy and solve problems for Virginia families. He spearheaded the largest infrastructure investments in half a century, significantly expanded Virginia’s domestic manufacturing, and has fought to lower health care costs. In 2021, Mark became Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, where he has emerged as a key leader in protecting the highest levels of America’s national security.
