(Woodbridbge, VA) — Delegate Jennfer Carroll Foy released the following statement in response to Vice President Biden and Senator Kamala Harris’ win in Virginia:
“Tonight is a win for Virginia’s working families, and a well deserved victory for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris — incredible leaders who will put this country back on the right track. More than anything, this is further confirmation that now is the time for forward-thinking leadership that builds on the progress made by a new wave of leaders in Virginia. Together, we will help working families get ahead and build back better.
“The COVID-19 pandemic hasn’t just upended lives throughout the Commonwealth, it has exposed what was just beneath the surface. In the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the world, in one of the wealthiest states in the country, working families don’t have what they need to thrive. I look forward to working with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to enact policies that will move Virginia forward and away from the status quo.”
