HER BOLD MOVE PAC: “She is the leader that not only young girls in Virginia deserve, but all Virginians deserve.”
(Woodbridge, VA) – Today, HER BOLD MOVE PAC, which works to elect women to public office at all levels, endorsed Del. Jennifer Carroll Foy and her fight to move Virginia forward, not back.
“Jennifer Carroll Foy is a once in a lifetime candidate who has broken barriers every step of the way in a system not built for candidates like her,” said Jordan Zaslow, Founder and Executive Director. “She’s been a fierce champion for gender equity her whole life — from being one of the first women to graduate from VMI to spearheading the successfully effort to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment in Virginia. Jennifer is the leader that not only young girls in Virginia deserve, but all Virginians deserve. HER BOLD MOVE PAC is excited to endorse Jennifer’s candidacy and work to ensure that she leads the Commonwealth as its next governor.”
“I am honored to receive the support of the fearless leaders and members of HER BOLD MOVE PAC,” said Carroll Foy. “I’ve lived the challenges so many girls and women have faced here in Virginia, and they deserve a leader who will stand with the people, and not special interests. Little girls cannot be what they cannot see, and it’s time we prove to everyone who has been left out and left behind that they will have a leader in the governor’s mansion who understands their struggles and will always have their backs.”
Carroll Foy continues to build a broad, diverse coalition that is reaching Virginians across the Commonwealth. Her people-powered campaign is supported by hundreds of volunteers and allied organizations organizing across the Commonwealth. To date, community leaders, unions and organizations representing millions of working people have endorsed her candidacy, including:
