Steve Foreman was born and raised in Indiana, where he went on to study Journalism and Political Science at Franklin college. Foreman relocated to Virginia, and became an organizer with the Communications Workers of America, or CWA. He also returned to college to finish his degree. Foreman cites his time as an organizer as the experience that gave him insight into the obstacles that working class people and entrepreneurs face.

Foreman’s priorities include access to education free from censorship, abortion access, and environmental protection such as eliminating fossil fuel pollution. He also wants to prioritize affordable housing, healthcare, and livable wages for the people of Virginia.

Grace Morrison is a resident of Shenandoah Valley who is running as an independent candidate in the race. She advocates for so-called “school-choice” which would take funding away from public schools and into private schools that aren’t regulated. She is against abortion access and would support an abortion ban.

Delores Oates is from Front Royal, and she is the Republican candidate for HD 31. She wants to kick curriculum experts out of the classroom in favor of untrained parents to determine what our children learn in school. Oates would make it harder for regular people to vote and would vote against measures to make it easier for immigrants in our community. She is also anti-abortion, and she will vote to ban abortion if elected.

Due to his commitment to protecting abortion access, public education, and environmental justice, Steve Foreman is the most progressive choice in this race.
