Democrats Target GOP Strongholds in Virginia | Roanoke News

Tom Perriello and Joy Powers are the new Democratic faces in Virginia’s most politically charged races, each aiming to flip GOP-held districts despite steep odds. Perriello, a former congressman with a strong financial edge, is running on cost-cutting and common-sense governance against incumbent John McGuire, targeting independents and frustrated conservatives. Meanwhile, Powers, facing Morgan Griffith in Virginia’s most conservative district, unveils her “H.O.M.E. Plan” to tackle healthcare, education, and economic inequality — even as she battles a massive cash shortfall. Other Democratic wins include Shannon Taylor and Elaine Luria, while incumbent Don Beyer prepares for his re-election fight. All eyes are on these races as Democrats push to make gains in a state that’s historically resistant to change. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
