Episode 9: Virginia Elections Takeaways. Chris and Andy discussed the 2023 Virginia elections, the current political climate in Virginia, and the disconnect between politicians and voters.

The conversation also looked at the failed effort to authorize a casino in Richmond, Virginia. The discussion ended with a brief mention of the upcoming 2024 elections and the important work being done by the CLPVA to lay a foundation for viable third candidates in local and state elections.
