Defend The Vote Executive Director Brian Lemek released the following statement congratulating Abigail Spanberger on her victory in the Virginia Governor’s race. DTV endorsed Spanberger early in the cycle.
“Congratulations to Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger. Defend The Vote endorsed her early in this race because she has been at the tip of the spear battling corruption and protecting the interests of regular people. She’s led the bipartisan effort to ban stock trading by Members of Congress and worked across the aisle to reduce conflicts of interest in Washington.
Cracking down on corruption is essential to bringing costs down and making government work for everyday Virginians. We look forward to working with Governor Spanberger to continue this fight in Richmond.”
