No Recommendation
Republican Will Davis is the sole candidate for this race. He believes that untrained parents should be in control of school curriculums rather than trained professionals. He is anti-abortion and will vote to make accessing abortion care more difficult. Davis wants to end vote-by-mail in Virginia, which is a key target of the Big Lie conspiracy. There is no progressive recommendation for this position. However, we encourage you to show up and write in a candidate of your choice for this race and remember that there are other races on your ballot worth showing up for.
