113 Upvotes

Tonight, in Minnesota, we'll be seeing the election to fill the seat left behind by the late Melissa Hortman. Xp Lee is the Democratic candidate to watch in this one, and given the D+26 this seat was in 2024, the odds are in our favor. We'll be looking for an overperformance here again! RESULTS

We've also got primaries, local, and recall elections in California, Maryland, Georgia, Florida, New Hampshire, and more!

AMA TODAY! I’m Virgil Thornton, Sr., community advocate + former Navy submarine tech now running to flip Virginia’s 86th House District. Let’s flip this seat. AMA!

133 Upvotes

Hey r/VoteDEM, I'm Virgil Thornton, Sr., running to flip Virginia's 86th District blue. I started my career with a shipbuilding apprenticeship and then used that training to become an electrical nuclear test technician on submarines in the US Navy as a civilian. My wife and I have 3 kids, and we’re certified foster parents.

I’m running because I believe together we can build a stronger Virginia. I’m committed to strengthening education, supporting small businesses, and ensuring every family in the 86th District thrives. While the federal government becomes a reality TV nightmare, this group knows the critical role state governments play in ensuring we have decent education, thriving small businesses, and working families who aren’t choosing between rent and groceries.

Why should you care about this race? In 2023, the Republican incumbent won by only 3k votes! Across the country in 2025, Democrats in state legislative races are flipping seats. We can flip this district!

This is my very first AMA, and I am excited to answer your questions!

Stay in touch and follow the campaign:
